Williams street. The discovery! was made last week. The gold, which was in the form of United States specie, was contained in a sheet metal box and concealed in a pocket of a second floor partition The pocket was constructed just large enough to hold the treasure chest showing that it was cut in only after deliberate and careful thought in prep-I aration. Papers found with, the ches4 indicate that it was last opened about 1878. ghost Rumors Prevalent The house is an old two story wood- en frame building and was built in 16 bgf J~ kalrn "D Knioh h w Andrews Sees More Interest In Questions Of Evolutionj "The next ten years will see a mark- ed change in the attitude of the human race toward the study of evolution and historical geology," said Roy Chapman Andrews, prominent explorer and scientists, yesterday in an interview.) "People are beginning to demandI facts about their origin, and the theories advanced by religion will no longer satisfy them. Of course the only means of compiling these facts is through scientific research, but this research not only provides us with a view of what had happened inI the past, but also gives us good groundI on which to base prediction as to fut-1 ure tendencies of animal life and earth movements and changes." "There is an economic value to geo- logy, of course," Mr. Andrews went on, "But the aesthetic side, while it isI seldom called that, has kept manyf people from making a study of thel subject. A study of geology, however! slight will give a man a greater pleas- ure in observing things about him, but it has a large-r value than that. It will permit him an understanding f of existing conditions of animal life and give him the knowledge necessary to predict to his own satisfaction the future of species." "With man living at the prodigious pace which he is today, it is hard to say what he may be coming to," Mr. Andrews said in answer to a question. The matter seemed to strike him as' amusing, and he went on, "If I could- n't get out on the expeditions and live like a white man for a while, I could never stand it. Do you know that when I left for this last trip, radio was an unknown thing, and I had my first experience with it after my re- turn. Just in three years, I can see an amazing difference in this country." In regard to courses of instruction in American universities, Mr. An- drews said that in most cases he con- sidered all courses to be of great value despite their comparative practical values. The cultural advantages fie- rived from many courses of no im- mediate practical value more than outweighs their lack of intrinsic worth.

Lawrence, Kansas, March. 12.-"Doc- tor Burton is too much of a utilitar- ian in his choice of the four greatest men of the Twentieth century," de clared the University Daily Kansan student newspaper of the University of r Kansas, in criticizing President Burt- on's choice of Roosevelt, Ford, Edi- son, and Wright, as the four men who, have most greatly benefited humanity, in modern times. The Kansas paper criticized the fact that President Burton failed to name! an author, painter, sculptor, or archi- tect in the number, adding that with the exception of Roosevelt, the men named have all been concerned with industrial development. The editorial declared that the choice of a- states- man, and three contributors to in- dustrial progress plainly showed the nation's trend toward the material in- stead of the spiritual. The choice of Murray Bartlett, chan- cellor of Hobart College, was con- trasted favorably with that 'of Presi- dent Burton in the columns of the Daily Kansan. The men chosen by him were Woodrow Wilson, Cardinal! Mercier, Nickolai Lenine, and Mahatma Chandi.
