NEW YORK:-A two hundred
million dollar panel of jurymen" was
organized by sheriff Hamburger of N.

The sheriff's appointments this
year include George w. Perkins, Will

Shonts, Isaac N. Seligman, and a
large number of others known as

deferred to Mrs. Charles Becker's SUI
perstitions when she objected to hav-
ing her husband, the former police
lieutenant convicted of the Rosen-

Life Insurance: In the case of
death resulting from accident in and

A LESSON IN HEREDITY.

The long looked-for history of the
Halifax family has at last come
from the press of the publishers. I'm
der the auspices of the training
school for feeble-minded at Vine
land, N. j., DR.. Henry H. Goddard has
investigated and compiled the results
of his work in the heredity of this
most remarkable family. During rev.
dictionary days., the first Martin Kali
likak (the name is fictitious decend-
ed from long line of good English
ancestry, took advantage of feeble
minded girl. The result Of their in
diligence was a feeble-minded son.
This son married a normal woman
They in turn produced five-feeble-
minded and two normal children
Practically all of the descendants Of
these detectives have been traced as
well as those of the two normals.
From both normal and defective
descendants of this union came long
line of defective stock. There were
$50 in all. OF these thirty-six were
illegitimate, thirty-three sexually i'm
moral, twenty-four confirmed alchol-
les and three epileptics. Eighty-two
died in infancy, three were criminals,
eight kept houses of i'll fame and 143
were distinctly feeble-minded. Only
forty-six were found apparently nor
NAL. The rest are unknown or doubt
full. But the scion of the good fam
lily who started this long line of de-
linquent and defective progeny is al
so responsible for a strain of an en-
tirely different character After the
revolutionary war was over, he mar
ried Quaker girl of good ancestry
and settled down to live a respectable
life after the traditions of his fore
fathers. From this legal union with
normal woman there have been 496
descendants. All of these except two,
have been of normal mentality. The
exceptions were cases of insanity, pre-
sumably inherited through marriage
with an outside strain in which there
was a constitutional psycholpathic
tendency. In all the 496 there is
not an instance of feeble-mindednes
The offspring descended from this
side of the house have universally oc-
cupied positions in the upper walks of
life. They have never been Grimm
ais of 'er-do-wells. On the other
hand there has not been a single in
stance of exceptional ability among
the descendants of the first Martin
Kallakak and the feeble-minded girl
Most of these descendants have fail
ed to rise above the dead level of
mediocrity: indeed, most of them have
fallen far below even this minimum
standard. This striking study in here
dity is commented on at length in
recent number of the Journal of the
American Medical association.

APPEAL TO REASON PUBL

land, founder and owner of the APP
peal to Reason, the Socialist weekly
newspaper published here, shot and
killed himself in his home at Girard
early to-day. He fired bullet in his
mouth, muffling the sound in bed

book on the bed was a note: "The
struggle under the competitive sys-
tenn isn't worth the effort let it pass. :"
Friends of Wayland attribute his
act to dependency over the death of
his wife who was killed in an auto
accident year ago. Since her death
he has been afflicted with periodic
melancholy. Wayland was So years

HOW LOS ANGLES BUILT THE
GREATEST AQUEDUCT IN THE
WORLD.
(By Olga Brennecke)

WORLD.
(By Olga Brennecke)
One half of the United States does
MT know what the other half is
doing. This is greatly to be re-
GREETED, because either half might
learn much from the experiences and
performances of the other. Los An
geles affords case in point. The
city has just completed the greatest
aqueduct in the world. It's constru-
ction involved number of unique
and daring engineering feats. It's
cost has been enormous, but the as
sured returns from it more than
justify the outlay.
1t is, however, as an example Of
municipal independence and eff1cien-
cy that this great undertaking is
chiefly interesting. In a country
which is dry nine months in the year
and has but scanty rainfall during
the other three, water attains a val
ue that cannot be appreciated by the
fastener. It's availability for irri-
cation increases the price Of land
twentyfold. Then again, where fuel
is scarce it is means of materially
reducing the otherwise high cost of
power by displacing steam with ele-
ctrical energy. So that, in southern
California hardly any price is con-
sidered too great to pay for an ade-
quate water service.
The San Franciscan friars versed
in the art of irrigation, placed the
pueblo of Los Angeles on the banks
of river and based the boundaries
of the future town upon calculation
of the area which might be watered
by drawing upon the stream. In the
course of time this space was oc-
cupied by ranches. These in turn
were gradually absorbed by the resi-
dences and business buildings until,
at length, brick and mortar entirely
absorbed the field and orchard.
Now it is curiously convenient
fact that the water needed to irrigate
certain area is almost exactly the
amount that will be required by the
people of city bounded by the same
limits. So that, in the case of Los
Angeles, the transition from rural
to urban conditions took place with
out creating water problem. But
the respite was short-lived. The city
grew at a prodigious rate, increasing
it's population thirtyfold in thirty
years. The utmost possible draughts
upon the river failed to meet the re-
qulrements of the population. Re-
course to pumping afforder relief for
a while, but the constantly increasing
demand soon outstripped the new
supply. A few years ago it was
found that the drain upon the sub
terranean stores has resulted in
markedly lowering their levels. 1t
became necessary to look for an en-
tirely new source of supply. and one
which would be equal to the demand
of the people.

directly employs, and also provides
a reserve, upon which, under certain
conditions, the associated companies
may draw. This fund is supple
mented by funds set aside by each
company. The total appropriations
will aggregate something more than
$40, 100000. The benefits, it is esti-
mated, will cost annually about ST.
900, 900 more than the present pay
ments on this account.
The administration of the funds
will be in the hands of Employees
Benefit Committee of five, to be ap-
pointed by the board Of directors
of each company. The committee of
each associated company will have
jurisdiction over the benefits for en-
ployes of that company.
The Employees Benefit Committee
of the American Telephone and
Telegraph company will have general
jurisdiction over the plan for the en-
tire system and specific authority as
to the American Telephone and Tele-
graph company's employees benefits.
President E. B. Field of the Noun
tain States Telephone and Telegraph
company announces that his company
will adopt the plan January list. Mr..
Field says this comprehensive and
far reaching plan covering an employ
es' benefit fund and pension and
form of disability and accident in
animous vote of the several presi-
dents of the associate companies of
the American Telephone and Tele-
graph company, in conjunction with
the latter.
1t will be noted that it covers the
whole United States, benefiting some
$4,000 employees, but I want to
bring home the fact that it will be-
come effective January LIST in the
territory covered by the Mountain
States Telephone and Telegraph COM
pany, operating in Arizona, Colorado
Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Utah,
and Wyoming, and will apply to
about 5000 employees engaged in the
telephone business in those states.
There never has been adopted in
the history of pensions or benefits a
plan that is so far-reaching, covering
as it does, all employees from the
highest to the lowest without dis
elimination.
l sincerely hope the public will
grasp the underlying significance of
this plan and how it has been posi-
BILE to bring it about.
A thought along this line is partic-
ularly timely. Much has been said
about combinations of capital and
their effort upon public welfare, but
want to call attention to the fact
that no such plan could possibly
have been brought about except
through a combination of financing
such as that afforded by the Ameri-
can Telephone and Telegraph COM
pany and it's associate companies. 1t
is because of our association in this
way that we are able to give our en-
ployes the financial protection that
modern conditions seem to dictate.
Since no expense whatever is borne
by the employees in this connection,
it takes an approval force of profit
sharing in which all participate equ-
ally and which is particularly de-
signed to protect the needy and I'M
fortunate.
1t is with great deal of gratifi-
cation that I make this announce
ment. Adv. 22-1.
