Taft Favors AntlTTraat Liw All of the addresses were Informal, nearly all of the speakers -referring to each other by name. Mr.

Taft took up la his address a statement mad earlier la the evening by M. E. Insalls, Chairman of the board of the Big Four Railroad, though he did not mention Mr. Ingalla's name. Th reference, however.

proved one of the features of the evening, for there was a distinct clash of opinion as to the Sherman antl'-truRt law. Mr lngalls had declared that the Sherman law. enacted twe'nty years -ago, should wiped off tho statute books. Mr. Taft said he" could not let the op port unity pass without expressing the con viction' that the Sherman law needed more te be enforced than repealed.

He declared that combinations of capital ere certainly necessary for the success tf brge businesses, but that a law was neerfrd prvnnt such combinations from abusing tho privilege. The guests wero plainly divided on the subject, for both that expressed by lift Ingalls and that held by Mr. Taft, were loudly eprlauded. 1 Though President Low did not introduce Mr. Taft.

until last, and it waa late when th. President-elect began to speak, not lrm toft the room until he had conclud his address. Mr. Taft said In part: Mr. Taft' Address.

As aj contest It was unsurpassed In the history of American long-distance running, and as a spectacle it was replete with thrilling Interest and heart-stirring Incidents. The contest was practically finished after the- men had traveled twenty-five miles and four laps. Dorando led during the early stages of the race, but the In dian could have taken the lead any time he desired. HeJ however, permitted his opponent to cut out the pace on suffer ance.

Dorando kept plucklly at his task for thrjee laps, when the Indian showed his real speed and began to leave the Italian behjind. It was a frantic, futile struggle tor Dorando. He swerved as his legs weakened and then staggered nnd finally fell to the track exhausted There was a glassy stare in Dorando's eyes as his brother and Ja trainer rushed to the track to hint to his feet. He was urged to aiake another effort, but was unable to stand, and fell back help less In his brother's arms. He was too far gone to speak, and in response to the repeated urging simply shook his head Aa he was cariled to hi dressing room he fainted, and as unconscious for some time Meanwhile dismay spread throughout the ranks of the Italian supporters of Dorando, while the admirers of Longboat cheered themselves hoarse as the Indian continued the ace alone.

The last two laps were covered at a remarkable rate of speed, and when the (pistol announced the finish of tije thrilling contest, Long- ooat was overwhelmed; with congratu latlons. and cheered to the echo.

LIVED IN AGE OF MAMMOTH Has Points of Resemblance to Monkey, Gorilla, and Chimpanzee, but Brain Development Is That of Human Being. Epetai ctbi to Thb New Torx Tram-PARIS, Dec.v 15. Human remains that are believed to be the oldest ln existence have been discovered by two prlesta at Chapella Aux Salnta, In Southwest France. ioey consist Of a skull and other bones, which M. Perrier.

Director of the Parts Museum of Natural declares to be the earliest vestlgea of man in tne world. He assigns' them to the pleistocene or glacial period. The skull of this supposed earnest man shows practically no forehead and has several simian characteristics, but tne cnin is unlUte a monkey's, and the skull, although tha walla are very thick." had a greater cannottv a keya. Tha Jaw was" very lorn, and the face could have tmmrmba1 un tlti mobility, This supposedly earliest- man could never have laughed. M.

Perrier read to the Academy of Sciences to-day a learned paper oh the subject by Prof. MarceHin Boul. Instructor In Palaeontology at the Museum of Natural Hlatory, from which It would appear that the skull Is of a form Intermediary between that of the monkey and man. The crown resembles that of the skull of a gorilla, while the facial bones are analogous rather to those of the chim panzee. The lower Jaw Is elongated, like the muzzle of a lower animal The chin is retreating, and the occipital cavity has theasame form and is ln the same; position as ln the case of the monkey.

The general character of the head, as well aa that of several of the limbs found among: the debris unearthed "by the two priests, tend to prove that the creature must have had some difficulty ln standing- upright ptol BouI concludes, however, that owing: to the evident size and develop- meni-oi'ine brain, the animal belongs to the human race. Thla alley! fossil man was found ln a pleistocene formation in the upper layer of tertiary beds; that la to say. he belongs to" the epoch. of tho mammoth. 1 Prof.

Boul's paper, as commented upon by Perrier, aroused the keen est interest among: the'members of the Academy of Sciences, who were allowed to examine the various pieces discovered by the two priests. The skull la extraordinarily like the famous skull discovered about the middle of the last century at Neanderthal, Germany. OTHER PLEISTOCENE REMAINS. i 1 Prof. Hayes Sayi They Prove Maq Lived in the Glacial Period.

Special to Tkt Ntw York Times. VAomuiUK, Uec. 15. Dr. C.

WUlarA Hayes, chief geologist of the Geological Survey, said to-night that the discovery of the remains of a man of the pleisto cene period in France, furnishes additional proof of the existence of human life on me carta jai uie ume or. tne great glacial movements, similar remains have occa sionally been found in widely separated parts of Europe, he said, and there is now no room for doubt that human life several above ihe- monkey stage of development co-existed- with the gla ciers. The most notable specimen of tha hu man life "of the period founeTheretofore Is the remains of what was known as the Neanderthal man," the skull and a part of the skeleton of a man discovered at Neanderthal. Germany, thirty years ago. That primitive citlsen, said Dr.

Hayes, was distinctly low browed," but his skull showed unmistakable signs of Intel licence. I tne remains oi tbe pleistocene men. said Dr. Hayes, In a few rare instances their implements have been discovered, i These, too. are confined tn Ku- rone.

which Is the only continent so far that can ioast oi tnis early civilisation. The Implements have uniformly been found in glacial deposits. They are of the roughest of the rough stone or paleolithic implements, made mostly of bits of slate or flint or bone, scarcely shaped at all. I In America there have been several claims advanced as to discoveries of the earliest known rae of human beings, but so far. said Lr.

Hayes, no remains have passed the careful scrutiny of the scien tists. The best known of these cases was the discovery several years ago of a skull it Lansmr, Kan. or a long time mat was considered tne stcun ot a prenistone man, but of late scientific opinion has nreit well aarreed that it was the skull of- an early Indian, dating back not more than 3UU years.

Special to Tkt Ntw York Timet. Dec IS. President Roosevelt's special message on the pur- traordlnary reception from Congress today. In tho Sena ta it was not read for an hour or so after it came In. and then It was greeted with smiles and open laughter.

The Senators were Immensely amused t- cy. tne violence of the President's denunciation of the newspaper have offended him by'thelr lnslnu- ations of Impropriety on bis part In the canal purchase. Every assertion that this thl. very particular." and every similar denunciatory declaration provoked, e- -wed J.

He did not return to his place until all the Personalities in th oeen passea. In the House the message was not read until lata In the afternoon.

Then It waa received tn absolute silence by the fifty or a members on each side who were pres ent. Coasrreas Kot laterested.

They were very, volu- nuwua, ana no extra copies of them had been made, so that the information which I House, AS far SB TJra.rtlr-a! -wftae-t uiuvcillQlt as well not have been sent to the Senate. Tbe documents were sent prompt, to the office 'of the Secretary of the mado no order to have them printed, and- untu it floes thera will be no copies avail. mot tor general examination.

1 Flaal Stoelc List RrTher. An examination of the President's mes sage, however, seems to Indicate thst It i will be necessary to go still further than the documents submitted to Congress to- day In order to show absolutely that there waa no American speculation In tbe canal stocks. The President submits, according to hi, message, a list of stockholders of the New Panama Canal Company of Jan. IS. 1900.

That was when the canal waa still held at SIOG.000,000. He submits also a list of stockholders present at a meeting of Feb. 28. 1902, Just after the acceptance of the American offer ot 140,000,000 for the canal property. Neither of these lists has final bearing upon the question ot American tion.

The list ot stockholders present at the final meeting of the new company, oa Apni sa, mn, eleven aays oexor the transfer or the property to the United would demonstrate whether any American had bought stocka la the in- terval between 1900 and then. That ta' I no lonncomiug, nor is toere recora or the stock vote taken at that meeting by which, the transfer to the United States was finally authorised. This Is the list which the President says is on deposit with the Credit Lvonais of Paris, as a proper custodian of the same, appointed upon such The President recites tbe fact that recent ly a private Individual asked permission TiTZk' 1 ift order to got at this final list of stock- holders.
