ORIGIN OF MAN STIRS
SCIENTIFIC DEBATE
Experts Disagree on Relation of
Ape to Human
Being.
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 17. —
| Whether man is descending from the
; great apes or whether recently dis- j
covered evidence indicates entire elim- I
ination of the ape from human an- j
i cestry xvas debated by scientists at j
| th“ Academy of Medicine last night, j
Henry Fairfield Osborn of the Mu
! seum of Natural History held the ape j
i and man had mi connection. The ape j
mode of arboreal locomotion in the 1
forests has produced a very specialized
type of hand, foot and limb proper- j
lions, xvhich absolutely precludes the;.
possibility of this type giving rise to j
?lie human hand, foot or limb, lie said, j
Prof. William K. Gregory of Co- |
; lumbia University, disagreeing, said
Dr. Osborn’s "intense application to j
| the study of fossil horses and ele- j
phants had led him to infer that be- j
! cause horses of the lower oligocene •
i age were unmistakable horses in the
I making, so the entirely hypothetical
lower oligocene daxvn man would
equally he men in the making and
widely different from apes.”

LAW SCHOOL STUDENTS
IN FIRST PRIZE DEBATE
Georgetown TJ. Competitors Discuss
Open Criticism by Military Offi
cers of Department Efficiency.
Debate judges at the Georgetown 1
University Law School held that mili- I
tary and naval officers should not j
have the right, without impairment to ;
rank, openly to criticize the efficiency

posed of James T. Finlen. Charles 11.

effect of such criticism on military
| discipline, while (he affirmative side
'brought forward ihe benefits derived’
by the country when (’par Admiral
William S. Sims, then a lieutenant, |
j openly carried his fight for gun cleva- ,
lion to President Roosevelt The
members of the affirmative team were,
I Juan R. Quijano, Raymond J. Doyle
] and John .1. O’t’onnor.
Mr. Finlen. speaker for the nega
tive, xvas axvarded the $25 cash prize
I offered by the faculty of t!i» school to j
tiie best indixidual debater, second;
honors going to Mr. Doyle, one of his
, opponents.

ed for approval to the Mexican gov
\ eminent in unofficial conversations he-
I tween the State Department and the
Mexican embassy here in an effort to

missions to resume work,
j The Mexican embassy has not as yet

j suggestions, but the hope is entertain-
I ed in official circles here that, the final
| selection xxill soon he made and that
shortly thereafter it will be found pos
sible to amalgamate the two eommis
