UPHOLD "PLUCKlNG BOARD"
Navy Officials Oppose Changes in
Promotion System.
From The Tribune Bureau.

Washington, May 20-Vigorous opposition
to the plan Of certain members Of Con-
gress to cripple or eliminate the ''plucking
board" of rear admirals, which controls
promotions in the navy, has developed, the
claim being that politicians seek to inject
features OF the spoils system.
Objection has also been made to the pro-
posal to make public the record Of the
board, or compel the board to keep record
of its work in each individual case. as II is
argued that much of the work Is confden-
tial and findings are sed on facts which
NAV prove misleading or deceptive when
made of record
The Secretary of the Navy Is a strong
advocate of the present system employed
by the "plucking board" and believes it
would be imprscticable to make any
cnange. He regards the rear admirals az
hest fitted TO determine the qualifications or
the various men in line for promotion or re-
tlrement and holds that their decisions
should not be open to question: as they are
disinterested.
Assistant Secretary Winthrop maintains
that the right Of appeal should be restrict
ed in the extreme and that the hand OF
the politician should be kept out OF the
boards business.

TWINS AT 80 BY EUGENICS
DR.. Gorton Willed for a Boy, bat
Is Father of Girl as Well.

Dr. David Allyn Gorton. the eighty
year-old Brooklyn physician who last July
married Miss Bertha Rehbein, his seCre-
tary. who had agreed to cooperate with him
in testing his favorite theory of eugenics.
is exhibiting to-day at his home, at No.
6&2 18th street, d fine pair Of twins. The
babies were born on April .. and. as the
aged father admits. are a 'marVellOusly
beautiful" boy and girl
While the physician contends that al
lection was by no means a missing guam
tity in his calculations regarding possible
progeny his marriage with his secretary
was based upon a series of scientific com
putations which he has been conducting.
sixty wears ago Professor Eufort. Ger
man scientist. came out with a pamphlet
which declared that whenever the proper
formula WAS followed parents could in
variablv determine. by sheer effort of will,
the qualities and sex Of the children which
they wished to have. So interested was
the doctor in this theory, even at the age
OF twenty. that he translated the work
into English
In a practice extending over nearly
sixty years" says Dr. GortoH. my theory
had been tested number OF times and
was never known 10 ldl. puIlnS an THESE
years | knew that the sex of children
could be controlled, just as horticulturiSts
control pollenation and I was surprised
that scientists seemed 10 know so little OF
the subject.
Il am the father OF three grown chill
dren. a son and two daughters. and all OF
them were obtained according To wish
under the same theory
Mrs. Gortou Is forty years old and the
daughter Of German parents Her con-
trasta in temperament to his own and her
racial fitness We're all analysed and
summed up before the physician popped
the question. D.. Gorton says he intends
20 live to be one hundred by adhering to
vegetable dict, working hard every day
and keeping UP his litelOn6 habit Of alb
staining from tobacco and alcohol

RAINS BABIES IN ROCKAWAY
Little Girls Fall Out Of Window in
Watching for Mother.

Political wiseacres standing near the
Long Island station. at Rockaway Beach,
last night, had their arguments cut short
by the sight OF a small child, clad only
I'm q night dress, hanging to grocery
store sign, a story and a half above the
pavement in North Fairview avenue.
George Brooks sprinted across the SIDE
walk. but before he reached the child
her strength gave away, and she dropped.
Another child, also in night dress, was
then observed lying on the grass. The
children were put In an automobile ana
hurried to the Rockaway Beach Hospital.
Mrs Joseph Lindsay later explained
the situation. She had tucked her two
little daughters, Annie and Florence, In
bed and told them she was going to the
store ON the ground floor. The children
unnamed out of bed and leaned out
,ytrdow TO watch their mother Flor
ence. who is three years old, lost her
balance and went out head first. In
irving To save her sister, Annie, who is
Az. vesrs old. also fell, but caught the
grocers sign.
The mother was so insistcnt that both
the little girls were sent back home. An

New Office Created by City with Mod
est Paw and Large Demands.

The title OF forester has been created for
the first time by the city OF New York for
the Department of Parks. Borough OF
Queens. Importent problems will confront
the forester. az in that borough there Is
largely virgin field for his operations
The thinning out and improving of Forest

The dearth OF this sort of talent is such
that the Commissioner finds It difficult TO
get the proper man at any salary. to say
nothing OF the modest compensation Oh
$3.50 year which he is able to offer. II
has been found that men thoroughly IA

A FAMILIAR FACE.

The other day somebody recalled. a
story that Bill Nye used to tell on
himself. Nye, who had a shockingly
bad memory for faces, once got
aboard the elevator in the old Fifth
Avenue Hotel in New York to find
that the only other occupant Of the
car was short, square, serious-look-
ing man, with an iron-gray bears
beard, and with cigar in his mouth.
HE looked at me and smiled said
Nye; "and then I knew had seen
him somewhere before. but who he
was or where 1t was we'd met
couldn't remember. l saw he want
cd to shake hands and so I showed
mine out to him first.
"'I don't believe you know me- he
said.
"'wen, said, Il know I've met
you somewhere. Your face is famil-
lar, but just for the moment I must
confess that can't place you. Where
was It We met anyhow
''It was In Washington City, few
years ago. he said. You called on
me at the White House; I was liv-
ing there then. My name is U. s..

Nye. Il was afraid I might ask him
