LECTURE BY PROF. E. A. ROSS
Addressed Fifth Annual Meeting Of American
Academy Of Political and Social
Science on Causes Of Race
Superiority"

PHILADELPHIA, April lS.- The
iifth annual meeting OF the American
Academy OF Political and Social Science
began here yesterday and was contin-
ued throughout today. There was a
full attendance of the membership Of
the academy. The general topic OF dis-
cussion was Americas Race Prob
lcms." and the many phases OF that
subject were ably discussed by
men well known the country over. The
annual address was delivered last night
by Professor Edward A. Ross, for
merly Of Leland Stanford. Jr.. Univer-
slty, and now member OF the fac
ultv OF the University of Nebraska,
who spoke Of the Causes OF Race Su-
periority."
Prof. Ross said in part:
The first cause Of race superiority
to which invite your attention is a
psychological trait, namely climatic
adaptability. Just now 1t is a grave
question whether the flourishrg and
teemirg people OF the north temperate
zone can provide outlets for their sur
plus population in the rich but undevel-
oped lands Of the tropics. Their super
iority, economic and military. over the
peoples under he vertical sun is be-
vond cavil. But can they assert and
profit by this superiority save by i'm
posing on the natives OF the tropics the
odious and demoralizing servile rela-
tlon. Can the white nan work and
multiply in the tropics or will his role
he limited 20 commercial and indus
trial exploitation at a safe distance by
means Of changing male contingent of
soldiers. officials, business agents, plan
tiers and oversaers? The answer is not
vet sure, but the facts bearing on ac-
climation are not comforting to our
race"
Prof. Ross then went on TO show that
while the Anglo-Saxon is not as sue
ccssful as might be wished in adapt
ing himself to tropical climates, the
Mongolian thrives in any zone. said
he: -
The next truth to which I invite
your attention is that one race may
surpass another in energy. The average
of individual energy is not a fixed race
attribute. for new varieties are con-
stantly being created by migration. The
voluntary unassisted .ngratiOns of in
dividuals to lands of opportunity tend
always to the Ipbuilding of highly
energetic communities and peoples. In
America before the days of exaggerate
immigration the emigrants were physi-
cally taller than the people from which
they sprang. the differences amounting
in some instances to an average Of
more than an inch. The Ken
tuckians and the Texans have become
proverbial for stature. while the surpris-
ing .allness Of the ladies that will

The Best Prescription Is Groves

The Formula Is Plainly Printed on Every Bottle,
So That the People May Know Just
What They Are Taking.

Imitators do not advertise their formula
knowing that you would not buy their med-
cine if you knew what it contained. Groves
contains Iron and Quinine put up in correct
proportions and is in Tasteless form. The
Iron acts as a tonic while the Quinine drives
the malaria of the system. Any reliable
druggist will tell you that Groves is the
Original and that all other so-called ssTaste-
less chill tonics are limitations. An analysis
or other chill tonics shows that Groves is
superior to all others in every respect. You are
not experimenting when you take Grove's-its

INDEMNITY TAX CONSTRUED.
A Ruling Announced by Commits
siOner Yerles Yesterday.

Commissioner Yerkes. of the Internal
Revenue Bureau of the Treasury, yester-
day rendered a decision in regard to the
construction of paragraph of Schedule
A, act Of March 2. 1901, relative to the
stamp tax on bonds. The paragraph in
question is as follows. reaffirming the
decision:
u. Bond-For indemnifying any person
or persons, firm or corporation who shall
have become bound or engaged as surety
for the payment of any sum of money. or
for the due execution or performance of
the duties of any office or position, and
to account for money received by virtue
thereof, 50 cents
The department has construed the para
graph as imposing a stamp tax on two
classes of bonds, first, bonds for indemni-
Tying persons, etc, who have become
bound as surety for payment of any sum
of money. and second. bonds for the due
performance of the duties of any office
or position. and to account for money
received by virtue thereof.
An Interpretation of the paragraph was
asked for by Messrs. Rand, Ninton x
Wakefield, Of Boston who considered that
a natural Interpretation of The statute
would be to construe it as applying only
to bonds Of indemnity

INDIANS APPLY FOR A WRIT.
Adopted Wichitns Seek to Prevent
Opening of Oklahoma Lands.

Eleven residents of the Territory of Ok
lahoma yesterday filed petitions in the
Supreme Court of the District asking
that Ethan Allen Hitchcock. as Secretary
OF the Interior. be restrained from OPEN
ing up certain sections of land in that
Territory today for settlement. All the
petitioners, except one, are white men
who have been admitted to membership
in the Wichita, Caddo, and other tribes
of Indians. The exception is an Indian
by birth. 1t is also stated that they have
for many years been residents Of the Ter
ritory, and are landowners and have been
engaged in the cattle business. The one
Indian petitioner is Percy Zadoka, who
married a white woman, Mamie Zadoka.
The others are Emmett Cox. Charles Will
liams, Willis c. West, Robert l. Williams,
William G. Williams. G. ". McCampbell,
Jack McLain, Robert Curtis, Thad Smith,
and Lyon X. Bingham.
William g. Williams is stated TO be one
of the wealthiest settlers in that section
of the Territory, and, besides his stock
business, is president of the N1inco Bank,
and also president of the Oklahoma Gro
cery Company. IL is also said that the
other petitioners are Well-tO-do and are
largely engaged in the cattle business.
Though each of the petitioners has filed
separate petitions, the general claim is that
under the several acts of Congress from
the year 1895 to 1900, and by treaties enter
ed into between the United States and the
representatives OF the several tribes each
of the members was allotted 100 acres Of
land, it being agreed that the Indians
should have the privilege of selecting any
land upon which they may have made any
improvements. 1t is now claimed that
the Secretary of the Interior decides that
they not entitled to retain possession
of certain quarter sections of land. and
Xgtl1 rnn aT he an
settlement. The petitioners claim that
their right to the land in question dates
as far back as the making of the Medi-
cine Lodge Treaty on August y. 1865.
The petitioners asked that writs Of man
damus issue against the Secretary of
the Interior 10 allow them TO enter upon
the land. After considering the matter,
Justice Clabaugh issued an order req-Iir-
ing the Secretary Of the Interior to show
cause on August - why the writ should
not issue as asked. ~ Messrs. William
II. Robeson, William c. Shelley. and Wal
ter c. Fields named as counsel for
the petitioners.

THE cHANDLER-EvANs CASE.
The Navy Department Has Not Yet
Taken Any Action.

The Navy Department has not as yet
taken any action upon ex-senator Chand-
ler's letter complaining of certain state
Iments made by Rear Admiral Evans in
his book One official of the department
declared yesterday that Mr.. Chandler had
not asked that Rear Admiral Evans be
-martialed or that court Of enquiry
be convened to investigate his charges.
1t is certain that if Mr.. Chandler requests
the appointment of court of enquiry or
asks for the court-martial of Admiral
Evans that the Navy Department will
give due consideration to such commu-
nication.
AS the matter now stands. according to
the Navy Department officials Mr.. Chand-
Ter, in the capacity of a private citizen,
has made complaint to the department
but ii is not incumbent upon the depart
ment to act upon such communication.
There have been cases before the depart
ment previously of a private citizen pre-
ferripg charges against naval officers and
asking their trial. The department. after
considering such charges, used its dis
cretion in ordering the officers TO trial
The same course viii be followed If Mr..
Chandler asks the trial of Admiral Evans.

A YELLOW FEVER REMEDY
DIR. Hodgson Believes He Has
Found How to Cure the Disease.
After Five Years of Experimenting
IA Mexico. He Snys the Bedbug
and Mosquito Are Equally Active
in Spreading the Dreaded Germs.


Acting Assistant Surgeon S H Hodg-
son. of the Marine Hospital Service, be-
IeveS he has discovered q valuable
| remedy to be used in yellow fever cases.
Dr. Hodgson has been stationed at
t'rogreso, Mexico. for two years. and has
made a thorough examination OF yellow
fever cases there. In u letter to Surgeon
General Wyman. of the Marine Hospital
Service, he calls attention to the fact that
while raluable work has been done in
Cuba in demonstrating beyond question
that yellow fever be and is trans
mitted by the mosquito, another insect
almost as numerous and certainly PES
,iferous, which may be quite active
an agency in spreading this disease as
the mosquito, has been entirely overlook
ed, namely. the cimex, OF, as i, is popu-
larly known, the bedbug. In the tropics,
DIR. Hodsson says. the bedbug is all per-
vadiuS, and his stealthy movements are
more liable to accomplish the desired
end than the buzZinS mosquito.
Among the remedies used in Central and
South America. as an antidGte for the
stings of insects and the bites of snakes"
continues DR.. Hodgson, the seed or bean
of the "cedron has been found to be
specific. A tincture Is made from the
grated or mashed seed and also made into
a fluid extract. / made a tincture from
the bean and used it as an antidote for
the stings of insects and the bite of a
snake and found that the action was al
most immediate and the relief complete.
The antitoxic properties of this remedy
were SO great that l thought it might be
of some benefit in yellow fever. | had
an opportunity to try it in several cases
of that disease. and from the results con-
cluded il is a specific for yellow fever, as
Quinine is for malaria"
Or. HodgSon says the cases he treated
were in Costo Rico, when he was Govern
ment physician in Jin1inez and while he
kept no notes of the cases. lit relieved the
headaches, stopped the nausea, and in
the cases where 1t was injected early In
ton. He used the tincture by hypodermic
| injections Of about twenty minims. three
times n day
yellow fever and malaria are sini-
lar he continues, that it is not reason
| able to suppose the remedies should be
| radically different. ~Quinine, vegetable
alEaloid. will cure malaria. and l believe
that an alkaloid made from the Simaba
cedTon will cure yellow fever.
He is SO confident OF the success of his
treatment that he urgently applies for
station where he can put his theories in
practice, and asks to be sent TO a Gov
ernment hospital in some place where yell
low fever is epidemic. He also says
rather patheticsliy: go much for my
| facts and theories in regard to the treat
m@nt OF yellow fever. trust you VIII
send me some comments on them. for it
has been all that | have accomplished
during the past five years.

MAY NOT BE ROANOKE.
The Account of Her Burning nj Sea
Not Credited,

NORFOLK. Va, Aug. 5.-A despatch
from San Francisco announcing the prob
able burning at sea OF the ship Roanoke
IS believed by experts here to be erron-
eous. The ship. owned by Arthur Sewan
& Co, commanded by Captain Armstrong,
sailed out the Virginia Capos June II for
Mare Island Navy Yard with 1896 tons
of coal belonging to the United States
Government. John W. Fiske. New York
lawyer, was passenger aboard.
The Roanoke is the largest sailing ship
and one of the finest ever built She was
spoken June - in latitude IS degrees
north. longitude 60 degrees west. The de-
spatch says that she was sighted afire
July s. in latitude s5.45 north, longitude
z7.17 west.
a navigator said she could hardly have
been in that latitude. He said also that
no ship aiioat sighting her could have
by this time reached San Francisco. The
despatch said the burning vessel was a
bark presumably iron. 400 feet long. The
Roanoke is ship of wood and but 81
feet long. The discrepancies in the pub
lished story caused ii 10 be thoroughly
discredited here.
