WRIGHT TALKS ON TARIFF.
Declares It Social Rather Than an
Economic Problem.

The annual convention of the American
Association for the Advancement of Sci
ence was formally opened yesterday at the
University of Pennsylvania, in Philadel-
phia, which was reported in The Star yes
terday. More than 100 papers were read
at the various sectional meetings.
One of the interesting papers of the day
was that read by DR.. A Spitzka of Column
bia University on the subject of brains
of Intellectual Persons, of individuals of
Various Races and of Criminals" He ridi-
culed the idea that the criminal brain was
of a decidedly different type from that OF
the ordinary person. He maintained that
the classification of criminals must rest
upon the observation of each individual
criminal together with his antecedent his
tory. Speaking of the brains of the var
ious races, DR.. Spitzka said that eventual
ly the bigger and better brains Will be
found on the American continent, because
nowhere in the world is the mixture of
races-chiefy Teutonic, Celto- Roman and
Slavonic-going on so actively as here.
The principal feature of the evening ses-
sion was the annual address Of the retiring
president of the American Association for
the Advancement of Science, Carroll D..
Wright Mr.. Wrights subject was Sci
ence and Economics" He called attention
to the great change in the attitude of reiis-
ion toward science, the latter being no
longer considered a menace to the former.
He took up the relation that science bears
to: everyday life, and reviewed the great
progress made by people through its 1nf1u-
ence.
He spoke of various questions before the
world today and how they are being treat
ed by science. On the tariff question he
said that science as yet has done little in
solving this question, but he conceived that
it may and will do much in modifying the
extreme views on either side that are held
by economists, politicians and statesmen.
He believed that the tariff question Is more
sociological than economic.
Until the conditions of the different peo-
pies that are engaged in competing indus
tries are more thoroughly equa,i-ed, he
said probably both of the great political
parties In this country, acting together,
could not get rid of some form of a pro-
tective tariff; but when, through scientific
methods and the application of scientific
principles to industry on broad scale, the
condition of the people become more thor
oughly equalized, he doubted if both parties
together would be able to preserve legisla-
ton relative to an expediency now felt to
be important.

He Didn't Want to Enlist.

A number of young men appeared at the
navy yard. Brooklyn, yesterday for exami-
nation for apprenticeship. The line reach
ed far cut of the Sands street gate, and
as the hour was late the guard ordered the
lads to hurry through without the usual
individual inquiry as to what might be
wanted.
In the rush a tall, clean cut young colored
man was carried through. When his turn
came he was stripped and examined by the
doctors. The usual questions were asked
as to what trade he wished to learn. He
looked surprised.
"Heah, sah," he exclaimed. Give me

OUR PANAMA PI RCH.4SE.
Best Investment the Country Ever Made,
Says Engineer Wallace.


CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-The purchase of the
Panama Canal franchise was the best in
vestment that the United States Government
ever made. No matter if it did oost us $780,
100000, no matter il it does take at least
eight years to complete this waterway,

In these words John F. Wallace, chief
engineer Of the Isthmian Canal. addressed
the members of the Illinois ManufaCtu rers'
Association at dinner rendered IN bis honor
last evening in the Fine Arts Building.
Mr.. Wallace gave summary Of the history
Of tie canal, and praised President Roosey eft
for taking hold Of the project e..ergetically.
Then he continued:
when the people here in the States talk
OF the enormous amount which was appended
on the Panama Canal route they do not
realize what the Government obtained.
They imagine that it was only a franchise.
But in addition there We're countless rail-
road cars, locomotives steam shovels,

stores which no railroad company operat-
ing in the United States can exceed. That
