the white mans inferior. Professor
w L. Hamilton, of the University Nof
California, cited the outcome OF the
Jeffries-J johnson battle az proof OF ms
contention. in an ADDRESS before the
summer school Of Northw estern Uns-
versity. Nst that is causing some bitter
feeling here to-day.
Professor Hamilton pointed out the
progress made by negroes and ad-
vanced the theory that the blacks
were not separate race but are
simply tanned Caucasians." He pre-
dicted that within 500 years the black
race In America would be extinct.
Climate and intermarriage he said
would accomplish this result.

CLEVELAND, o., July Some
portion of the earth's crust about
1900 or 1900 miles from Cleveland
was given a severe shaking up during
the night according TO Father Oden-
bach's seismograph at St. Ignatius
College here. when to-day's record
was taken. Father Odenbach Is in
clined to think that Iceland or the
Northern Atlantic bore the brunt OF
the quake.
The record shows more severe
earthquake than has been recorded In
the last few years, the vertical varia-
ton OF the shock being six MILL
meters. The quake began at l9:66.lS
Cleveland time. reached its maximum
at 1888 and was over at 1871.
Father Obenbach says the record
is very similar to that of the quake
that shook Iceland about year ago.
An official bulletin issued by the
Weather Bureau here to-day states
that an earthquake of greater inten-
sity than usual was recorded on the
government seismograph about mid
night. The location of the disturb
ance Is placed at 1900. miles from
Washington.
