SCIENCE CANNOT
 BREED GENlUSES
But Dr. Hutchinson Tells Ma tional Health Body it Can
 Prevent Detectives

Washington, Sept. 20-Dr. Woods Hutchinson, famous physician author. today, declared before the National Health association that Scierce can not bring about the birth of geniuses but that it can prevent the birth of defectives.
 While geniUses are exceptional g said pr. Hutchinson, they don't pro duce themselves, bioIogically they are accidental variations and their fam lilies are often deficient in some re- Spects. It is not necessary to desire that geniuses shall be reproduced. We have an abundance of good duali- ties for good heredity and these exist in 30 percent of the population. Five percent are geniuses and frye percent defectives. We can afford to disre- gard the five percent of the geniuses and endeavor to prevent the defec- tfves.''
 Following is the slate of officers to be elected, tonight: .
 President, Dr. Rudolph Herring, New York, Vice-Presidents, Dr. W. B. Ball, Harrisburg, Pal, Dr. James Roberts, Ontario, Canada. Dr. J. E. Monjaras, Mexico. Secretary, Prof. $. M Gum, Boston.

this city and South Amboy. The
letter was referred to the city att
torney, so that the subject would be
Investigated and legal action taken,

ance OF a five cent fare.

Alderman Lawrence G. Dalton
said the subject had been threshed
out With Public Service officials and
