Canton and Hongkong Governments Cooperate Against Outs
"Canton, China, September 4-The Canton and Hongkong governments will co-operate in capturing the pirates whose haunts are on the Sheonwankom and Shaiwankom islands near Macao. The Canton government accepts British aid on the condition that only Chinese troops shall be permitted to land on the islands, and that British gunboats shall be used only to prevent the pirates from escaping by water. All who are arrested are to be surrendered to the Canton government for trial. This acceptance is to be considered as a special accommodation and must not be taken as forming a precedent for future cases."

Geologist To Start Search for Fossils
Believes Animals Perished in Oil Lake of La Brea
"A search of the asphaltum lake of La Brea for types of animals and vegetable life of the pliocene and tertiary periods will be started today by Reginald C. Stoner, geologist of the University of California. He expects to discover some rare fossils, and believes that the search will reveal much of scientific interest.
