JURY FINDS SEE GUILTY
OF ABDUCTION OF GIRL

Chicago, H., July 14-Evelyn Ar
thur See, founder Of the Absolute
Life" cult. was last night found guilty
of the abduction of Mildred Bridges,
the 17-year-old girl disciple of the
cult
The jury was out only forty-five
minutes, and is said to have taken
but one ballot. The penalty is from
one to ten years in the penitentiary.
The jury also returned verdict of
guilty of abetting into juvenile de-
linquency, which had been included
in the abduction charge. An appeal
for a newtrial may be based on the
fact that Juror G. F. Dupper was found
to be asleep at one time during the
testimony.

It is the contention of county attor-
neys that delivery may be made upon
order Of the consignee after the con-
signee has signed the Jag book" but
that it is essential under the state
law for the consignee to indicate that
he got the liquor They say that pro-
vision is similar to the Kansas statute.
Railroad companies are not concern
ed over the matter, save that they
want the law well defined Whisky
houses have been threatening suits
for failure to deliver liquor shipments
in accordance with the interstate law.
and railroads fear their agents will
be penalized if the state law is not
followed. Several agents have been
arrested as it is.
A test case will be carried through
the lower courts to the criminal court
OF appeals for construction of the
statute. The state will contend, it is
understood, that the new law is not a
limitation upon interstate commerce,
but in fact an aid, at the same time
permitting proper enforcement of the
state law, since the requirement per-
mits the delivery of the liquor upon
orderla does the interstate ruling.

NUMBER OF FIRE VICTIMS
MATTER OF CONJECTORE
BY Associated Press.

by Associated Press.
Cobalt, Ont, July 14.-Eyery hour
adds to the list of those dead, injured
and rendered destitute in the fire de-
wasted Porcupine district where the
property loss probably is more than
two million. The number of dead in
the district remains largely matter
of conjecture. About ninety bodies
either have been buried or designated
for shipment in collins now being rush
ed northward by carloads. Many per-
sons are missing from the more dense
ly populated townships. How many
of the hundreds living in comparative
isolation have perished, only days of
work by organized relief parties can
reveal. A message from Porcupine
early today stated seven bodies had
just been found at the Pipond mine.
Their condition made Identification i'm
possible.

CHILD GREATEST ECONOMIC
PROBLEM TO Be CONSIDERED

! We must teach him to calculate
weights and measures, time and
money!
San Francisco, Cal, July 14.-Back-
wardness and mental deficiency in
children was discussed at today's meet
ing of the National Education Associ-
alton by Henry H. Goddard of the
School for Feeble Minded, vineland,
N. j., who declared that the birth of
feeble-minded children was erer in
creasing and that action was impera-
tive
"The feeble-mindednes that is due
to heredity" said the speaker, "can
only be prevented by preventing the
birth of such children. That is to say.
by preventing the marriage of feeble
minded persons or by preventing the
possibility of procreation through sur
gical interference. Both of these meth
DDS must be resorted to in order to
stop this terrible evil which is ever
increasing.
"Backwardness and mental defici-
ency have become especially promin-
ent of late years, because of the
changes in our school conditions. The
curricula are much more crowded and
elaborate, can only be gone through
by those of good ability. The social
and industrial world has changed to
only those who have passed through
F, a reasonable course of education can
secure such positions as will enable
them to earn living. The backward
child who is not feeble-minded can be
discovered and conditions provided in
the form of special class by which
he shall be brought up to normal and
prepared to earn an honest living.
"Those who are truly backward. are
incurable and they only train along
certain lines so as to be happy and
less of burden on the community.
The cause of mere backwardness is
local and temporary and may in most
cases be removed if discovered.
1--WE must soon come to the point
in our public school administration
where we have special classes for the
precocious and for the backward and
for the feeble-minded.

San Francisco, Cal, July 14.-'The
!. child of today is of greatest economic
interest when considered as father to
!. the man of tomorrow" said Miss Vim
ME G. Hicks, special psychologist in
the public schools, in an address be-
lore the department of special educa-
ton of the National Education Associ-
alton. ut follows then that the defini-
tion of any type of child such aS the
'subnormal' must depend on the prob
able conditions in adult life. We ex-
pect the normal child to become an
adult who will be producing factor
in the community. We know that the
idot will always be financially depend
ant. Between these two, lies an un-
defined group which we dub 'subnor-
NAL secretly wondering just what we
mean.
I'VE may group them according to
fnthool retardation. We may give them
a physcho-physical examination and
decide that those who fall certain
distance below the established normal
are subnormal. These, and other
methods of grouping, are helpful be-
cause they nuecessitate study of the
|scase. But none of them are based on
adult possibilities, though that is the
phase of the subject in which we are
most vitality interested, and the one
which must be the practical basis for
I the 'subnormal's' training.
My own working definition is this:
\ A subnormal child is one who, with
oIt special expert training will prob
ably always be dependent but who,
with that training, may possibly be-
4 come an independent producer.
4 "The definition suggests the scope
of the training. Certain things, the
y man must know to be self-supporting
He must be able to labor reasonably
(this includes both mental and moral
attitude toward his work and fellow
workers.)
HE must know how to reckon his
wages and expenditures, to help him
cope with these necessities, we must:
Give him all manner of co-ordinat-
ing games and exercises for his physi-
cal and social benefit;
