AMERICANS ARE FAST
BECOMING INDIANS
Prof. Starr Attributes the Change to
Potent Climate and Environments.
Special to The Globe.

Special to The Globe.
CHICAGO, July 15.-Prof. Frederick
Starr, of the University of Chicago,
explained in a lecture today his belief
that the American people are fast de-
veloping into Indians. Prof. Starr has
believed in this theory for some time
and has now confirmed it, he ANNOUNCE
ed today, by personal observations.
He examined the descendants of a
small colony Of Germans who came to
the United States many years ago and
located in Pennsylvania, and found
that the fourth and fifth generation
had developed marked Indian charac-
teristics, such as black hair, black
eyes and darker skin. These variations
in physical appearance. he declared,
do not take place only in German i'm
migrants, as other nationalities COM
ing to the United States have been af-
fected in the same way.
'"The changes noted take place in
variably," said Prof Starr, through
the influence of the potent American
climate and environment, and further
more, they serve to illustrate more eff
fectiVely what forces are AZ work on
the people of the United States The
American Indian, as he exists today,
is a development of the Monaghan"

SMALLPOX REACHES
Minimum STAGE
Only AZ Cases Reported i'm En-
tire State During the
Past Week.

Smallpox reports of the state board
of health for some weeks past, consid-
cred comparatively, indicate that the
disease has now about reached its low
status of the year in this state.
Among those who gather statistics
on this subject it is generally recog-
niZed that smallpox is most prevalent
in the coolest weather, and diminishes
as the temperature rises. Thus in the
severeSt winter months, when dwell
ingS and all other buildings where peo-
pie congregate are closed against the
outer air and heated by artificial
means, the number of cases is largest,
and, in midsummer, when ventilation
is most general, it is smallest.
The total number of cases reported
from all parts of the state in the week
ending July 13 is forty-two, which is
exactly the same as the total for the
preceding week, and approximately
the same as the record for some weeks
back. There We're no deaths last week,
or for several weeks past whereas in
the winter and early spring there was
scarcely weekly report that did not
show several fatal cases.
or the new cases the largest number
In any one locality was seven, at ST.
Cloud, where there has been a great
deal Of trouble reaching back into {he
winter. From Graham township, Ben
ton county, there were cases report
ed from Jackson village, Jackson
county, and Randall township, Morri-
SON county, 4 cases each; and from the
city of st. Paul, the village of Fosston,
and the township of Solum, cases
each. The other cases which go to
make up the total of forty-two are dis
tributed generally throughout the state
in small numbers.
Among the reports received in the
course of the week twenty-one old
cases in Harrison township, Kandi-
yohi county, which would have been
reported previously but were not.
These cases were not contemporaneous
and extended over a period of some
three or four months

to do with the general determination of
the members to be present, but location
is also considered to be an inducement.
Present indications are that there will
be more than $50 members here which
will be just twice as many as attended
the meeting of last year held at Portland.
Or. At Portland none of the New Eng
land states was represented and very
few of the Eastern states, but this year
nearly all of them will send representa-
tives.

such corruption. The men who make
the charges and the paper that pub

The board of fire commissioners and the
Twin City Telephone company are about
to clash.

that has caused considerable trouble.
Last night Supt. Neary informed the
board that he had notified the company
of the action of its men, but that no relief
had been given. The company. he said.
In several instances had encroached on
the place reserved for the fire department.

and expense.

Supt. Neary.

act" replied Mr.. Brace, land move thar

the trouble, not with authority to act,
but with instructions to act
