Mr. Vests conclusions were indorsed by
Messrs. Hamilton. w. Riley Decide. John
Joy Edison. George Truesdell E. L. Morse,
Commissioner mcfarland and others Mr.
Glover said that what was needed was that
everybody should put their shoulders to the
wheel-that each present subscriber should
constitute himself committee of one to
get subscriptions-that an endless chain
system should be inaugurated at once
Mr.. Hamilton denied a statement he had
heard to the effect that enthusiasm had
taken the place of sober consideration in
the plans and deliberations of the commit
tee. He characterized the situation as one
of conservative enthusiasm" and declared
that, while there is much work to be done
success can be attained by concerted eff
fort. Colonel Truesdell moved that COM
mittee of five be appointed to consider the
matter of site.
This was carried with the added sugges-
ton that no portion Of the city is to be
eliminated from consideration. and that
every owner of an adequate site be asked
to submit a bid to the committee. Mr..
Edison cautioned against undertaking too
much at this time, approving, however. the
progress already made and the policy al
ready defined. He urged that the site be
selected with view of adaptability and
accessibility. and that the price be not per-
mitted to govern the selection by the COM
mittee. This idea was approved also.

cd specialist of Scnwalbacn. assert
ed that the class Of food eaten by
the parent plays great role In de
termining the sex OF the embryo. Ex-
: periments made with bees, rabbits
plgs, and cattle show that II in the
nourishment the carbonaceous ele-
ment predominates, more male pro-
geny Is produced; II the albuminous
>.element predominates. there are more
~4e emales. There Is a. constant strus'
gle for ascendency between the male
cell and the female cell, and careful
dieting. declared the specialist, can
place the preponderance of influence

PROGRESS OF THE
ZIONIST MOVEMENT

LONDON, May la-The commits,
sion sent ont by the Zionists to ex-
plore tne strip Of territory In Eas,
Africa, offered by the British govern
ment, has returned to England, and
he Jews of America will be interest
ed in learning the progress Of the
great movement in which they are
keenly interested as their brethren
in Great Britain and other parts OF
Europe. Altrougn the full report Of
me commission will not be made
known until it is placed before the
delegates at the forthcoming Zionist
congress, it is learned on excellent
authority that 1t will be favorable to
the acceptance of the land by the
Ioinlsts. The report. however. says
that another expedition will have to
be sent to subdue the natives in the
surrounding districts.
Part of the report is already in the
hands of the executive of the Great
Actions committee in Vienna. the
contents of which have placed the
committee in a more dimcult posi-.
ton than they were In before the
commission WAS sent. At the last
congress the mere mention Of the
fact that a piece Of land was offered
to the Iionists caused a split, As the
delegates would nave nothing but Pal
estine, and many seeded from the
movement in consequence OF q vote
being carried to send an expedition
to investigate the suitability Of the
same. Now a vote will be taken at
the forthcoming congress to accept
the offer, and in the probability that
1t will be carried, this will cause
further split. The Great Actions
committee, realizing the difficulties
of the situation. have decided upon q
diplomatic move, which will not only
prevent further split. but may &C.
ment the different factions.
So as not to offend the British gov
ernment and satisfy the opponents Of
the scheme, the committee has de-
cided to divorce the East African
scneme from the Zionist program.
and invite the cooperation Of all 9th.
er Jewish institutions to discuss the
report OF the commission. with a
view to deciding upon definite an
swer to the British government.
The object of the Zionists In &C.
cepting the offer of land is TO estab-
lish a temporary Jewish state with
local autonomy, but many Jewisn In
stitutions are opposed to this idea.
Without the financial assistance OF
other Jewisr institutions the Zion
lists feel they will be unable to &C.
cept the offer. as they have NO money
availa ole for that purpose, and the
scheme must eventually fall through,
after spending about $4,000 on the
expedition. The financial Inability
TO place 10000 Jews on the land Of
fered was very well known by many
leading Zionists. who therefore voted
against a commission being sent, and
wasting valuable time and money.
All this will again come up at the
Zoinist congress TO be held In Switz-
erland snortly

BELIEVE PoRTER's STORY
ABOUT CROKER CORRECT

KANSAS CITY. May l3.--Investi.
CATION by the police this morning
conyinces them that the story told
by Charles Wilson, the negro porter
who escorted Herbert Croker. son of
Richard Croker, the noted Tammany
leader, to the train Wednesday night,
Is correct. Croker was found dead in
his berth yesterday morning and ac-
cording to the story of passengers
and the conductor the man was plac-
ed on the train by a negro porter,
the negro handing him money and a
ticket just before the train started
and then jumping off when the train
began moving. Croker was left to
himself all night and when the con
ductor came TO collect ucgets in the
morning he was unable to arose him
and investigation proved he was
dead. Toe negro porter's name is
Charles Woodsen Of the Crews hotel.
Woodsen says Croker arrived at the
hotel about s O'Clock intoxicated.
Croker checked small valise and
then asked the negro TO accompany
him to a mop joint" They went to
a Chinese resort and remained an
hour, Woodsen tnen taking Croker di-
rect to the train.
The police do not think that Wood
sen done anything wrong. and he will
probably be released this afternoon.
A. H. Lee, the Chinaman in whose
den Croker took the opium, was ar
rested. Chief Of Police Hayes said:
Croker was tne victim OF his own
habits, and besides hitting the pipe"
he probably ate some of the drug"
