COMPARISON OF BRAINS
Prof. Wilder Says That Of the Averages
Negro Is Lighter Than That Of
the Average White Man.

New York, June IA national con.
ference in the interest of the Ameri.
can negro was opened in the United
Charities building in this city by Pro
fessor Burt G. Wilder of Cornell uni.
versity and Professors Livingston
Farrand, e. R. A. Seligman and John
Dewey Of Columbia university. Pro.
fessor Wilder exhibiting several
brains, including those of an orang.
outang, an INSCRIPTIONS politician, an
illiterate colored ~janitor and an emin.
ent mathematician, made some inter.
esting dedHctions to the conference.
The brain of the average American
negro" he said, Seems to be about
two ounces lighter than that of the av.
erage white man, an probably there
occurs more frequently than in the
white man less development of the
prefrontal lobes. These two condi.
tions render it likely that the whites
will remain the dominant race. But
there are individual exceptions to the
above general conditions of both kinds
and among both races"

BANK ACCOUNTS lMPOUNDED
Sheriff Attached Money Deposited by
Weed II Various Banks.

As a result OF the investigations
made by District Attorney w. C. Dud-
ley and County Attorney 7. A. Sulli-
van, Mr.. Sullivan secured an order of
attachment from Justice Emery in the
supreme court covering all property
which any sheriff OF this state may
find anywhere In the name Of Jared
c. Weed and Samuel w. Hofheins, the
treasurer's cashier and the tax clerk
who stole upwards of $36, 900 from the
county Of Erie. At the same time
civil actions have been begun against
Weed and Hofheins.
Mr.. Sullivan, like Mr.. Dudley, has
worked practically all the time on
this case since 1t first was brought to
his attention. The county attorney
didn't permit himself to lose a single
minute. yet, despite the promptness
with which he acted, Weed managed
to have s9,150 withdrawn from the
banks before the money could be at
tached.
Mr.. Dudley subpoenaed the ac
counts of Weed and Hofheins In vari-
Gus banks. 1t was found that Weed
had money in the Erie County Savings
bank, the Fidelity Trust company, the
Buffalo Loan and Trust company, the
Marine and the Columbia National
bank. The total of his deposits ex-
elusive Of money withdrawn for his
bail bond, amounted to s39,6S0.
Samuel w. Hofheins was arrested
Friday near the village of Gladwin,
Mich. Detective Sergeant John j..
Ryan brought him to Buffalo Satur-
day.
Jared c. Weed was rearrested Friday
night. The rearrest was made on a
warran charging mutilation of coun-
ty records. This step was taken by
the district attorney after a fruitless
effort to learn what became Of some
$4,000 withdrawn from Buffalo banks
by a friend OF Weeds. His bail vas
raised to $4,000.

noon, but Coach Courtney decided to
wait until shortly after 6 o'clock. when
under conditions almost ideal. the ri.
val varsity crews came up to the
starting point.
Both crews rowed a 80 stroke at the
start. Cornell leading by perhaps a
foot. At the quarter, Weed Of Cor
nell called for a slight increase and
his crew nosed half a length ahead.
In this relative position the boats
fought side by side for the next half
mile. the crimson men rowing in
strong style but unable to gain an
inch on Cc""ell. At the mile post Cor.
nell began a series Of spurts which
appeared to wear the crimson men
out.
Cornells stroke was a 81 as the
boats passed the mile and a half stake,
with the Harvard crew dropping
steadily behind despite heroic efforts.
Water showed between the boats and
the distance separating the rivals
rapidly widened into a length. At the
last quarter Harvard CALAMITY tried to
squirt but their effort met with a more
vigorous reply from Cornell, and the
Courtney crew flashed across the line
a length an a half to the good.
The freshman race was rowed i'm.
mediately after the conclusion of the
varsity contest. The Cornell young
sters were a length ahead at the mile.
They clearly outclassed the visitors
from the start and finished with a
squirt, four lengths in the lead.

KNEW CARNEGIE IN YOUTH
Dying Telegraph Operator a Pension

Dying at the City hospital at st.
Louis is George Lenox. seventy-fve
years old, said to be the oldest tele-
graph operator in point of service in
the United States, who in his early
days, at the oil docks in Pittsburg,
worked alongside Andrew Carnegie.
Lenox was born in Hamilton, Ont,
and came to ST. Louis when 10 years
old. He became a messenger boy and
later, after learning how to send"
went to Plttsburg. Carnegie, accord
Ing 10 Lenox, was receiving then, as a
clerk, less than $40 a week. Because
they both knew te%legraphy they be-
came fast friends.
When the civil wal began Carnegie
and Lenox became war telegraphers.

DISASTER TO AIRSHIP.
After Count Zeppelin Had Covered $50
Miles In 81 Hours.

Goephingen, June 1.-After covering
a distance of about $50 miles in 81
hours, Count %Zeppelin's new airship,
on its return trip from Bitterfeld to
Friedrichshafen, came to grief In an
open field near here. In ~maneuvering
for a landing the airship came into
contact with a tree and It's position Ia
very dangerous.
The damage TO the ship is more Sc.
rious than at first thought. A cursory
examination directly after the acct.
dent showed that the envelope had
been torn, and it was thought that in.
jury could be repaired and that the
party would proceed at night. A more
careful examination, however. disclos.
ed the fact that the propeller was
broken and considerable time must
elapse before The journey could be
continued.
The position Is unfavorable. the
ground being hilly. The bow rests on
the ground, while the stern is about
60 feet in the air. A strong breeze
sprang up toward evening. causing
no little anxiety for the safety Of the
airship, which IT was feared would
be wrecked should a storm come up
during the night.
After considerable labor and with
the assistance of some of those who
had gathered at the scene Of the acci-
dent, Count Zeppelin was able to shift
the position of his airship a little,
and thus give better protection from
the wind. That the collision was a
heavy one is indicated by the broken
and bent strips of aluminium lying
about the ground and the half split
branches dangling from the tree
trunk. Enormous crowds soon as.
sembled and 1t became almost impos.
sible for vehicles to pass along the
public highway.
