IOWA'S NAVIGATOR ON
THE WEITEgANP CASE
Says Punishment Inflicted
Was Extremely Light.
SHAVED TO CHECK DISEASE
Process Not Unusual in the Interest of
Sanitation-Preventiv of
Spread of Contagion

Lieutenant Commander Fechteler, the
navigator of the Iowa. was at the Navy
Department this morning. and. speaking
or the statements made by Landsman a.
b. Weitekamp, who was recently tried
by court-martial, and sentenced to dis
charge from the navy, said the punish
ment inflicted upon the man was ex-
tremely light. Weitekamp, at his trial,
charged he had been stripped on the
quarterback of the Iowa, when she was
at Montevideo, and shaved from head
to foot, in the presence CT the officers
and enlisted men. Lieutenant Com
mander Fechteler explained this was
done not as matter of punishment, bur
as a precautionary sanitary matter
Surgeon Advised Shaving.
The Iowa had touched at number
of points in South America, where there
were contagious diseases, and when the
planned TO the men that they would be
given shore leave, but that they must
not remain over time. Weitekamp over
stayed his leave by more than eighteen
hours, and when he returned to the ship
was in bad condition. Smallpox cases
in large numbers existed in the city. and
upon the advice of the ships surgeon,
he was shayen from head TO foot. and
fumigated to prevent the spread of
disease
Lieutenant Commander Fechteler ex-
Tiained that the man was stripped on
the qnarterdeek. beeause-ef- the -faet-tha.
ne came aboard theirs TO report. and the
officers did not purpose to have him
rningle with his comrades until he was
in a fit condition.
Others Similarly Treated.
The same treatment was given to
others who had subjected themselves
20 like exposure. and it is explained
at the Surgeon Generals office that the
practice is not unusual.
Weitekamp afterwards deserted the
ship and returned TO New York on a
merchantmen. When the Iowa after
wards reached the New York yard he
again reported en- board for duty, and
was arrested and tried for desertion
The papers in the case have been sent
to the Navy Department and turned over
to Captain Lemly, the judge advocate
general.

INTERESTING DISCOVERY.
Chicago Professor Proves Animal
Eggs Can Be Developed by
Chemical Agencies.

The announcement was recently
made that Prof. Jacques Loeb, in a
series of experiments he had just COM
pleted at the University of Califor-
mia, succeeded in demonstrating that
the eggs of animals containing both
sexes can be fortified and developed
into animals through physical and
chemical enthusiastically, arti-
fetal parthenogenesis.
From these experiments DR.. Loeb
makes the deduction that If science
ever acquires positive evidence max
ing for the solution Of the secret Of a
biogenesis-that is, the fertilization Of
eggs of animals where the sexes are
separated-it will be through artificial
parthenogenesis.
This latest discovery of DR.. Loeb is
in direct sequence in line Of investi-
cation already carried to satisfactory
conclusions in the case Of echynoderms
and annelids. By the manipulation OF
sea water through various chemicals
he produced solution into which the
eggs of these animals were placed.
Then, without the intervention of any
male principle, these eggs proceeded
to develop in the same fashion as II
they had been fertiliZed.

DIES FROM GoLF-sTIcK BLOW.
Philadelphia Girl Has LocIkjaw ~ q
Result Which Terminates
in Her Death.

A blow from a golf stick, welded by
a playmate, caused the death the other
afternoon of Bessie Herman, Ia years
old, of Philadelphia. The blow severed
the main artery in the girls left temple,
and tetanus resulted. The girls mother
told the following story Of the acct
dent:
Recently my daughter was playing
golf with two children at Sharon Hill,
when one of the boys in swinging cleek
struck her on the temple, inficting a
large cash. She fell to the ground and
was carried home, where a physician
dressed the wound, and she appeared
to be all right. Last Monday night Bes-
sic was playing the piano and singing,
when suddenly she stopped and grew
deathly white. l asked her what was
the matter, but she could not answer
me, and we found she had lockjaw."
The girl was rushed to the university
hospital. A singular feature was that
just before death she opened her eyes
and, recognizing her mother, said:
Hello, mamma" the grip on her jaws
having apparently been released.

DOCTORS CHAMPION ALCOHOL.
New School of Medicine In England
Which Claims the Narcotic Has
Strengthened the Race.

Even alcohol has found its scientific
has arisen which emphatically asserts
that 1.-THE English race has become the
better for it's use of alcohol"
DR.. Hyslop, London doctor, started
the discussion at the congress of the
British Medical association by express
ing his belief that alcohol was not re-
sponsible for general paralysis. He was
followed by DR.. Reid, of Southsea, who
read learned paper on human evolu-
ton and alcohol.
Disease, said the doctor, in effect ac-
tually strengthens the race, and the uni
versally accepted doctrine of natural
selection is incompatible with the the
DRY that parental disease affects Off
spring.
In support Of his argument that the
use of alcohol did not tend to degeneracy,
and its abuse to extinction of race, he
said the Jews, Greeks, Italians, Portu-
gese, South Frenchmen and Spaniards,
who had for the longest time had the
biggest supply of alcohol, were to-day
the most temperate people on earth.
DR.. Mercier, of London, praised the
virtues of alcohol as narcotic, describ-
ing it as the best we possessed.
"a horrible fatalism," was DR.. Scho-
fields description of the degeneracy and
extinction theory. His belief was, he
said, that where weakness and disease
were borne successfully through three
generations, it was absolutely stamped
out in the fourth.
