MAN BREEDING \ SUCCESS FOR
 SOM-. TIME
Cupid's WiIes, However Has DoWned Scientific Research.
 A Race of Giants.

NEW YORK. Jan 1S.-The discus sion of methods of improving the hu- man race by the delegates to the con yention of the American Breeders as- sociation now in session at Columbus. Ohio, recalls that a successful attempt was once made in this state to apply to community of men and women the scientific rules which govern the selection of lower animals for breed ing purposes. John Humphreys Moves, a Congregational minister, was the originator of the novel scheme, and was expelled from the church for ad- vocating what was termed "a scientif- ically regulated promiscuity in mar riages." He established his little col ony of "Perfectionists' at Oneida, N. r., some sixty years ago, and for a time 1t prospered under his guidance. For years Moves devoted followers withstood persecution from without, only to fall victims of the wiles of Cupid, who paid no heed to scientific regulation In 1873, some twenty years after the establishment of the colony, complex marriages was re- nounced and monogamy or celibacy substituted. The attempt at scientific man breeding was at an end. The members of the colony separated into couples, regardless of the rules of se- lection laid down by Moves. Cupid had won victory over science.
 Physicians who have kept track of the children born during the expert ment declare that 1t was a pronounced success in producing physical and mental giants. During the last decade of the colony's existence under the Moves regime, sixty children were born, a majority of whom are still liy- ing. These children were cared for exclusively by their mothers until nine months of age. From that time until they were eighteen months old they received the care of their moth CTS only at night. At the latter age the infants were placed under trained nurses at the colony's nursery, and the maternal care ceased entirely. Under this treatment all but five of the sixty children lived to attain their major ity, and the death rate among them is said to have been less than one-third of that in the country at large. Neariy all of the men are over six feet in height, broad-shouldered and strong lunged, and the women are beautiful and welI-proportioned. No case of consumption, cancer or other disease of degeneration has ever been known amog them. Among the men are many physicias, lawyers, musicians and college professors, and without exception all are of high grade of intellect and nerds Only one of the men is a common laborer. The late Dr. E. B. Foote, a well-known phy- sician and the author of many popular medical works, was one of the en- thusiastic defenders of the experiment, and scientific stirpiculture was was advocated in many of his books. Shortly before his death he declared the Oneida experiment to have been a pronounced success and that 1t would | some day be repeated on a large scale

DEMAND FOR BETTER STREETS
(Jerome News)

The present rainfall has rendered the condition of our streets and side walks so slushy and disagreeable for both pedestrians and vehicles that there appears to be general senti- ment prevailing that the new council can confer no greater public service than that of requiring cement side walks to be laid throughout the city, as well as merchandising the principal streets, but if We cannot get cement sidewalks we will be satisfied with de- cent board walks. Good sidewalks and streets are aH index to the char acter and spirit of the citizenship of a community. An up-to-date and pro gressive community bestows special care in improving their streets and sidewalks This proposition should, and no doubt will, appeal to our may or and council.

PHOENIX JOINS BISBEE IN AN
 EFFORT ID GET NEW CHARTER

That Phoenix is willing and ahA- ious to have a general law passed by the coming territorial congress giv- ing a new charter to cities. was the statement made by City Attorney S. A. Merritt who returned last night from the capital city where he has been the past week working in con- junction with the committee appointed by the Phoenix council to frame a new charter.
 MT. Merritt brought a copy of the charter framed by the city of Phoenix to Bisbee and will read it to the coun- cil at its next meetin. In speaking of the new charter, MT. Merritt said:
 The idea of the city of Bisbee for working in conjunction with the city of Phoenix to frame a bill and urge the assembly to grant the cities of Arizona a new charter. is that when this measure is offered, Douglas, Bis bee and Phoenix will be fighting for identicaIly the same bill.
 Tt will be impossible to get ans legislation along this line if Phoenix has one sort of a bill, Bisbee another, and Douglas one different to either. It is our idea to all get together and agree on the exact measure we want passed, then ali unite in fighting for it."
 Mayor Coggins, MT. Merritt said, was enthusiastic for this new charter Mayor Caven. of Bisbee, also favors the measure and has been instrument teI in getting each councilman inter ested in 1t.

NOTED PHYSICIAN.

For several days past Phoenix has been entertaining one of the most noted medical men of Europe, Dr Arnold Lorand. of the university of Vienna. Dr. Lorand is travelling over North America, seeing the country and lecturing before different medical institutes and colleges of the United States.
 He is much pleased with Arizona and declares that this climate is ideal for tuberculosis, kidney trouble and .senility. He says that the purity of the air in Arizona is something be had never before encountered at this altitude.
 Dr. Lorand is a specialist on rheu- matism, diabetes, gout and obesity. He has also made a special study of the functions of the ductless glands. He has written two books on his spe- cialties, both of which have been translated into the French language He has another book on seniiity, which is to be brought out by Ameri- can publishers next spring.

was conspicuously brought out when the subway matter was brought up. Under the present charter it is ques- ton whether the city could take over the subway by law. If it could be proven that the subway is a waterway and not street, the city could take no action as there is no clause giving the cities jurisdiction over waterways. Should the city want to take over the subway and the property owners along l. objected, the first point that would have to be proven by the city would be that the subway is a street. Some contend that it has been used for a street so long that custom has estab- lished 1t as an avenue of travel.
 Mir Merritt also brings the news that the railroad bridge over the Gila river is out. He said telegraph com munication with Phoenix was cut oTf before he left Maricopa last night. As the wires are fastened to the Gila bridge the impression prevails in Mar icopa that the bridge is gone.
 It has been raining three or four days on the upper part of the river and the GiIa Is rising rapidly. If the bridge is gone it will cut off railroad travel to Phoenix from the southern part of Arizona.
 MT. Merritt spent most of his time

SEEK ID RETAIN HAWAIIAN
 LANDS
Citizens Get Injunction to Pre- vent Selling of Island of Lanai

HONOLULU. Jan. 1s.--If the Jap a nese every obtain control Of the Is land of Lanai 1t win be In spite of the efforts Of former senator L. L. Me cendless and his attorney former Judge George D. Gear. MT. McCand- less causad AIr. Gear to obtain tenn porary injunction restraining Cover nor carter and Land Commissioner Pratt from disposing of the remaind- CT of the governments holdings on the Island of Lanai.
 The government stiu owns about 47,69O acres of that island, while the remainder of the S6,6O0 acres is own ed by the interests of Charles Gay. The idea of the governor in effecting the change was to obtain land else where in the territory of equivalent value, so that il would prove a better source of revenue to the government than Lanai has been.
 Valuable For Grazing.
 But in the petition in equity it is pointed out that considerable part of the island Is very valuable grazing land. and. furthermore, it contains one very good harbor and landing place. The principal reason for the injunction being brought is the fact that the gov ernment surrenders absolutely the en- tire island and allows the water front and harbor facilities to pass to priv ate citizens.
 There is nothing whatever in our laws" declared Judge Gear. "to pre- vent whoever obtains that land from disposing of it to the Japanese or any body else If they desire That island can be run like little principality if the private owners desire, and it could be used for any part of filibus- tering Of unlawful expedition. Sup pose that the land were to pass under the control of the Japanese. What Is to prevent their government, if such a thing should be desired by them landing their firearms and a large force of men on the island and sub sequently descending upon Honolulu Lanai is only fifty miles from Homo lulu and would be within few hours run of this city.
 Demands Stop of Transfer.
 But aside from the possibility of the land ever passing to the/control of Japan or any other foreign power there are other considerations that n my belief. demand that this trans CT should be stopped. It is wrong for ae government to allow such a con
 derable. and what will in time be- ma a most valuable harbor to pass private control It has allowed
 fyate parties to obtain control of a lrge part of the harbor front in the aarbor of Honolulu, and 1t ought not to repeat that mistake even in the case of small island that at this time is not an important place. The idea of the government giving up the control of an island is wrong. Furthermore the representation that the public lands there are being blown away by the high winds because of the lack of forest reservations is untrue. The governors report shows that a con" siderable portion of the land is very valuable.
 T do not mean to imply that the proposed transfer is being made in any way with the idea of allowing the Japanese to obtain control of the island. Nothing of the sort, but mention that fact as possibility that may in years to come strike misfor- tune to our nation"
