Sanford visited the late Mark Twain and asked that a site at the Center be selected for the better accommodation of both the Center and Ridge people. MT.

 He suggested, however. that distant sections of the town might obtain full advantages of the institution by es- tablishing branches. Nothing in that accomplishment of such a project is obviously desirable The essential need is of course the necessary money and how that could be obtained does not appear. Possibly an appeal to Andrew Carnegie might be successful.

 District Oyster Growers Wait Outcome :. of Test Case With Keen
 Interest
Especial to The rarmer.l


 Westport, July 25-What promises to be one of the most interesting pieces of litigation having to do with the rich Connecticut oyster beds is in the making in this town. Minot s. Smith of Norwalk, owner of four acres of valuable oyster grounds in the Bluff Point division off Westport, has re- tained Attorney John H. Light to pray out a permanent injunction against the Westport Fire District from dis charging sewage in the Sound near his beds.
 This, the oystermen say, will be the first real test of the rights of a town or municipality to discharge sewage near oyster beds. The application will be made to a judge of the Super for court in time to forestaH the com pletion of the new sewer which the Westport Fire District is constructing through the section of Saugatuck known as Little Italy"
 Smith will allege that the carrying out of the plans of the Fire District will result in the contamination of his oyster beds, and the rendering or his stock unwholesome and unsanl- tary He claims the pollution will do him heavy damage and wants the courts to make it impossible for the town to discharge it's sewage in the proposed outlet

 NORRIS FLAYS W. H. TAFT

Washington, July. 25.-Business in the House was suspended for an hour, today, while Representative Norris, Nebraska progressive, denounced as fraudulent President Taft's nomi- nation at Chicago. The progressive day. of Representative Mondell, who bitterly attacked Colonel Roosevelt and denied the Roosevelt charges Of stealing delegates
 Norris did not have a prepared speech. He spoke right off the bat, ridiculing the claim that Taft's vic- tory was regular and legal"
 Clustered about Norris were an ap- plauding group of the House progres- sives. The regular Republicans seats were crowded too and many Demo- crats listened eontentedly, their faces wreathed in broad smiles as Norris shot his caustic bolts at the Taft sup porters.
 The Texas contests at Chicago were analysed in detail by Norris. He de- nounced the unseating of Colonel Cecil Lyon and his Roosevelt delegates as lone of the grossest frauds of the whole Chicago robbery" zse,
 Representative Humphrey, of Wash ington, gave notice that he would re- ply, tomorrow, to Norris statements regarding alleged frauds in the Wash ington state convention.
 Norris opened fire upon the south ern delegates" declaring federal of- fcials manipulated the Alabama. con- vention. 'The salary list alone of these officers among the delegates and aIternates to $5O,0O0 annually" he said. Every white man on the Georgia delegation ex- cept one was a federal officeholder. Their joint salaries were $52,OOO.
 Returning to the alleged 'steal'' of the Washington delegates, Norris lambasted Beverly ". Coiner, recent ly named by President Taft for United States district attorney for the west ern district of Washington.
 He was a candidate for United States district attorney He made good. The legally elected Roosevelt delegates were thrown out and the Coiner delegates seated at Chicago.
 ''Coiner got the nomination. An other plum tree was shaken. In many states the same thing happened. Ap- pointments were hung up all over. : "Coiner got his pay for the job he did from the hands of the man he heped and taxpayers all over the country have to pay for it.'

all over the world will take part in the first international eugenics con- gress, scheduled to be opened today at the University of London, and will en- gage in, discussions of the practical application of eugenic principles. America, Germany, Italy. Spain and France, as well as England, will be represented. The American contribu- Ntions to the study of heredity will be of especial interest, since it is on this have the best opportunity to inquire into the effects of race mixture. Of lateyears the United States and Can ada have become the melting pots of scores of diverse peoples. Whether the result of this amalgama ton is good or bad is question of the great est interest to the eugenists. The fol- lowing statement as to the objects of this International congress is highly interesting:
 ''The proportion of generally defec- tive people has greatly increased in the last century or so with the in- crease of comfort and the elimination of many of the more violent risks of life. But meanwhile researches have brought about certain fairly authori- tative opinions about certain defects and the method of their transmission. The present necessity, then, is to con- vert these opinions into social action and legislation, so that the defects may no longer be reproduced Indi- vidual responsibility toward the race needs to be cultivated like patriotism. Of course, the engenic movement is still largely a movement of research, but the time has come when it has a nucleus of real knowledge about her edity that it can put into action. One recognizes that the future of degener- ates, or persons with hereditary and still operative taint. will be a future of restriction. But most people have good tendencies. and if once they were convinced that the inheritance of their blood would inf1ict tangible injury on others, their conscious would prevent them normally from handing on the defects of their blood Thus the race would naturally improve by the edu- cated self-sacrifice of the unit.

WHY THE DEAF ARE GRATEFUL

A pleasant contrast to the sad fate of Beethoven is furnished by Dr. Thirlwall, the Radical Bishop of St. David's, who wrote the history of Greece that held the field before the arrival of Grote. Tn his old age he became stone deaf but, so far from fretting, declared that the inf1rmity was really a blessing. because 1t re- lieved him from the futile conversa- ton of bores. One day friend. for getting the Bishops deafness, greeted him with the usual remark about the weather "Eh?'' queried the Bishop. 'It is fine day" beloved the friend repeatedly into the prelate's ear. When Thirlwall finally grasped the meaning of the remark he quietly philoso- phized, Dear met how little a man loses by being deaf!'-London Chron- icle.

AMBOY AND THE
WHITE LEAD COMBINE

sxNeW York, Feb. g:-It was told In
liable dispatch from London that
an international combination had
been agreed upon BY British. CONT
mental and American makers OF
white lead. For q long time this
branch Of the trade has been more
or less disorganized In Europe. and
the manufacturers are said to have
been operating at little or no profit.
The Perth Amboy plant Of the Ma
tfonal Lead Company, which was
taken over from the old United Lead
Company a few yaers ago. has been
| engaged In the manufacture OF this
| product principally for the export
trade, while practically all the bal
ance OF the National Lead Com
pany's output of dry white lead is
used by the comapny itself as the
base for materials which It turns
out.
The deal, as 1t Ia understood here
does not provide for an actual mer-
ger of the different concerns, but Tor
a sort OF a trust agreement or poo
to control the output and distribu-
] ton along lines similar to those pre-
lvailing In the case OF numerous Ger.
man Industries.
