MEN OFTEN AFFLICTED
BY COLOR BLINDNESS
Professor Shows Peculiar Differences Between the
Sexes from Standpoint of Biology

Boston, March 4-Prof. Edmund Beech
er Wilson, of the department of biology
at the Columbia University, delivered a
lecture before the society of arts this aft
ernoon. In the talk which was in twenty
kinds of technique and almost beyond
some of the intellectuals present, these
two points stood out:
Man is hybrid. Only woman is COM
plete. in harmony with creation
A man is liable to inherit some serious
ills, like color blindness. In fact, eight
men are in that dull gray dilemma for
every woman who cannot tell the differ
ence between the glory of an Easter bon
net and one of last years, most somber
styles. to-wit: color bind.
Prof Wilson handed this little conun-
drum to his audience:
color blindness is sex limited affiic-
ton. Eight times as many men are color
blind as women man may inherit
color blindness from one Of his parents,
but It takes. two to transmit It to

Reading. Pa, March Am eight-year-
old son of Samuel and Mary Adams to-
day found the bodies of his father and
mother hanging from a harness strap
in the attic of their home near Vir-
ginsville, Berks County. Adams was a
farmer. In the past year he became
mentally weak and several times threat
ened to kill his wife. A week ago he
assaulted her and she had him arrested.
His hearing was to have come up to-
day.
When the six children, ranging in age
from four months to six years, awoke
this morning and found their parents
missing, the oldest concluded that they
had taken train for Reading for the
hearing. In the afternoon son weht to

THROW COOLIES INTO SEA
WHEN CAUGHT SMUGGLING
Desperate Contraband Crew Takes Drastic Measures
to Prevent Capture and Punishment

Los Angeles, March "A shipIoad OF
Chinese coolies were dumped into the
Pacific Ocean last night, according to
immigration Inspector Charles L. Con-
nell, whose men prevented the landing of
the contraband cargo at the harbor here.
This is the second time recently that
coolies who were being smuggled into the
United States from Lower California,
Mexico. have been thrown overheard and
drowned. On the former occasion, about
two weeks ago, the crew of the revenue
cutter Orient witnessed the drowning.
The cutter crew tried to rescue the aban-
doned victims of the international smug-
Cling trust, but reached the scene too
late.
Last night Inspector Connell was noti-
fed that a huge powered gasoline launch
had left Mission Vieka, short distance
north OF Ensenada, with a cargo of con-
tVsband Chinese and started north Con-

before 10 o'clock the guards saw

Prof. Wilson said he did not really
mean that man is the same kind of a
hybrid as a mule. He said he meant by
the term hybrid in this connection to say
that while the number OF chromosomes
which determine q woman's sex are al
ways equal in number for a woman, men
come into the world only when fate slips
an extra chromosome into their making.
In other words man Is the product of
an odd number Of chromosomes A
chromosome is a tiny cell containing a
nucleus about one twenty-five thousandth
of an inch in diameter. but one more
or one less Of them would have changed
every last living woman into a man,
and every man into woman
With all the marvefs uncovered by the
biologists Of the worlds universities with
their ability to create really new and
living species in the 4ewer orders, Prof.
Wilson admitted that no progress had
been made In that quest OF every biolo-
gist-tbe ability to determine human sex
Yet he said there are grounds to be-
iieye the discovery was made.

SKELETON DUG UP
IN POLITICAL FRACAS
Michigan Fight Promises to Be Bitter and to Con,
tinue Long Time

Lansing Mich, March 4.-Gov. Chase
S. Osborne to-day charged that Senator
James A. Murtha. of Detroit, minority
leader of the present legislature and for
mer Tammany lieutenant and practicing
attorney of New York, was suspended
from practice in that city for defrauding
a client and was supposed TO have COM
mitted suicide. After his troubles with
one of his clients, his clothes were found
on the bank of the North River in 1906,
and the newspapers carried story to
the effect that the attorney had ended
his life.
At the beginning of the present session
CT the legislature Murtha, who represents
strong Democratic district in Detroit,
and is also said to be one of the legis-
lative representatives of the Detroit
Brewers Association, antagonized the
governor by making a speech on the
floor of the Senate, in which he referred
to Gov. Osborne as a political -four
fiusher,' and charged that his efforts
to clean the State of the appointees
placed in Office by ex-Gov. Warner was
simply a scheme to gain free adver-
tising.
Gov. Osborne stated that he would
show up all of the men who oppose his
efforts to clean the State Of undesirable
oficeholdert, and Senator Murtha Is the
first man to feel the official sting. The
governor secured a record of Murtha's 8
legal tangle in New York, and to-day
made it public. He intimated that a
special grand jury might be called to
determine how Murtha secured creden-
tials to practice in the courts of this
State
The governors information, obtained
from New York. shows that In 1906 war
rant was issued for Murtha's arrest, but
he disappeared. and the papers were never
served, and that he was suspended from
practice for three years.
He was admitted to practice in Michi-
gan within six weeks after his suspen-
sion expired In New York.
Murtha is III at Detroit hospital
In an interview he gave out to-day, he
said he had known for some time that
Gov Osborne had been investigating his
record. and had been anxiously waiting
for him TO spring it, He does not deny
the story, except to say that all the
incidents OF his early life were known
to his intimate friends. In his charac-

quickly started in pursuit, but the launch
eluded it in the dark This forenoon
the launch again entered, and was
searched by the immigration inspector
and deputies, but no trace of the coolies
could be found Connell admitted that
he could not prove with what evidence
he had in hand that the coolies had been
drowned.
But We know that there were coolies
or board when they left the Mexican
harbor," he said. and if there had been
none on board when we stopped them en-
tering the harbor last night they would
not have run away. We saw members of
this same gang deliberately throw a lot
of coolies overheard two weeks ago. and
saw them drown. / am satisfied that the
same procedure was followed when the
launch was chased last night by the reve-
nue. cutter. They could not have landed
their cargo at any other point on the
coast within reach. for 1 have over 100
men stationed at all the points they could
get to. We will hold the launch and crew
on some charge until We can investigate

The MERCHANTS ASSO-
CITATION OF Little Rock, Ark,
persuaded the Town Council of
their city to pass an ordinance to
PREVENT FRAUD AND IN
POSITION IN THE SALE OF
GOODS, WARES, AND MER-
CHAND1SE, which provided a
punishment upon conviction Of a
fine not less than $25 and not
more than 500.
Last December a firm that
travels from one city to another
rented a store in Little Rock and
advertised what they. termed a
"RAILROAD WRECK SALE"
claiming in their advertisements
that they had $4,000 worth of
mems and BOYS clothing which
had been slightly damaged in a
railroad wreck and which they
would sell at very low prices.
Their statements were 50 eN-
aggerated that the Merchants AS
sociation arranged to have sew
eral people visit the store, buy
goods, and take note of the claims
made.
These purchasers were told
that they were buying $50 over
coats, suits. &c, at prices as low
as $3.99, $6.99, &c.

ADVERTISING TALKS.
WRITTEN BY WILLIAM C FREEMAN

The matter was taken up with
the City Attorney, and warrants
were issued against the pro-
prietorS of the store, and they
were summoned to the Police
Court.
The trial took place the next
day, and, after the examination
of witnesses on both sides, the
Judge fined them $25 and costs.
After this, the advertisements
that the firm ran in the daily pa
pers described the goods to be
sold at the ACTUAL PRICE,
and nothing was said about quail
ity or former value.
They also placed placards in
their windows asking the public
to DISREGARD their previous
newspaper advertisements, and
instructed their clerks to repre-
sent goods only as of values of
the price asked for them.
Stories have been printed be-
fore in this column about these
fiy-by-night concerns that light
in a community like a crow in a
cornfeld; and it IS good to know
that the Merchants Association
of Little Rock have had the WIS
DOM to organize and drive them
out OF their territory.
