WOULD SEGREGATE
DEFECTIVE CHILDREN
Physician Recommends Plan to
Protect Society from Feeble
Minded People.

SOUTH BETHLEHEM. Pa, April s.
The sterilization of defective children
and their segregation in the community,
was recommended by DR.. Henry II.
Goddard, Phi. r., here today before a
congress of the American Conservation
of School Children, under the auspices
of the American Society Of Medicine
Dr. Goddard, who is director of research
in the training school for defective
children at Nincland, n. j., said:
''rU many it seems that we might
vasectomize people rather freely and
they might he allowed to live out their
lives in the community without fear of
producing more detectives for society i
HIre for. The fact of sterilization would
indeed save the problem of offspring,
hut society could not afford to endure
the dangers whiCn. would result during
the lifetime of the one individual.
Sterilization does come in for some
advantages. There are many people
whose parents will not consent to their
going to an institution for the feeble
minded. Society never feels safe so long
al these people are free to marry. In
such cases it might hC proper to say
TO the parents. If YOU will consent tc
have the operation Of sterilization per
formed on your child, then YOU may
keep that child with YOU as long AS NoI
Ike. II Is not p question OF colonial
ton or sterilization, but Of colonization
and sterilization as solution of TINS

TEAM OWNERS BODY
ASKS FOR REPEAL
Of CRUELTY LAWS
Association Opposes Fines
Being Turned Into HUI
name Society Golfers.

Repeal of the law which places to the
credit of the Washington Humane So
ciety the fines collected in the Police
urged by the Team Owners Association
in a letter received by the Commits
sioners today. The association states
that II doubts the advisablity of re-
ducing the fines to $40 In order to save
the expense of jury trials. as recon-
mended by Commissioner Johnston.
Under the present enforcement of
the humane laws horse owners have
been compelled to unite for their own
protection, and in self-defense are
often forced to invoke trial by jury"
centage of acquitals shows that. they
are justified in doing so. Under exist
ing law, the fines and forfeitures re-
sulting from prosecutions by the hui
name officers go into the Golfers of the
umane Society, constituting large
part of it's upkeep, last year amount
ing to nearly 5000, and this provision
causes unusual activity on the part Of
the officers, resulting in many doubtful
complaints being made.
I'VE earnestly approve the desire to
save expenses in the District, but con-
tend that individuals defendants in these
and that the safeguard thrown around
them by the present law should not be
removed"
LEGISLATION will be necessary to pro-
vide for a reduction in the fines in cruel
ty to animal cases. AS yet the Com
missioners have taken no action on the
suggestion of Commissioner Johnston
that they recommend such a bill to Con-
gress.

BEET SUGAR HEARING
Johnson of Maine, Asks
SomeImpertinent Questions
About Utah's Crop.

Senator johnson of Maine dema nded
TO be shown" on the subject of raising
beet sugar in the Rocky mountain re-
gion before the Finance Committee this
morning.
Joseph GcoEhegan, OF Salt Lake CITY,
was before the committee, appearing for
Utah beet sugar interests against free
sugar. Senator Smoot was lending him
such aid and comfort as he consistently
could.
Geoghegan said the Secretary of Ag-
rlculture had said that there yas enough
land in Utah. Colorado, and Idaho
ada pied TO sugar beets to raise enough
of the beets to supply the sugar for the
whole country.
well, why don't you do it?' inquired
Senator Johnson.
Senator Smoot said the reason was
found in the continued tariff agitation
and consequent uncertainty.
But you've had protection for a hum
dred years. Why haven't you done
it?" persisted the Maine Senator.
Senator Smoot, however continued to
lay the failure to develop the beet in
dustry TO tariff agitation.
Former Congressman Ralph Cole OF
Findlay, Ohio, appeared before the
committee to oppose free sugar in be-
half of Ohio beet sugar interests, and
Edward Gay, of Louisiana, for cane
sugar interests, also opposed the bill.

The States are expected to spend

might withstand the rush OF the waters.
The damage of the flood throughout
the entire valley is staggering. Farm
ers, wealthy last week, are today prac-
tically penniless. Millions in grain has
been washed away. All seed corn is
lost, and the water has spread over
farms within radius of fifty miles
of Cairo. Some of the farmers say II
will take years for the lowlands TO
dry out. Tse steamer Three States re-
turned from a rescue trip last night
with $1,000 worth, of live stock which
had been picked up at various points
The steamer plowed its way over
rich farms and found in the midst of

huddled on "a scaffold which has been

then within two feet OF the scaffold,

Conditions in Hickman, Ky, were
critical today. The tents sent by Gov
4 ernor McCreery and the Government
supplies will not reach there until this

and the suffering is intense. The town
is under ten feet of water and it is i'm
possible for the local authorities to care
