Burglars and Eugenics

From the Indianapolis News. What to do with the burglar is n
 recent scientific inquiry from the point
 of view of eugenics. We of Indian lapolis want him caught and punished. 1 But how?" we might ask. as the
 watch asked of Dogberry If he will
 not be caught?" Dogberry's advice. was, Why then take no note
 him. and presently call the rest of the watch together and thank God you are rid of knave." But from the eugenic standpoint, ac- eording to Sir James Barr, the famous English student of the subject. we need the qualities of the burglar in bet tering the human race. Burglars, Sir 1 James holds, have qualities frequently cf high order. Many of them are mis- directed geniuses. They are often more honest than fnanciers. especially those I Of the prom oting' order, and, in view I of eugenics, 1t would be better to ellm- mate financiers than burglars some of whom would make magnificent ad- lministrators And generally Sir James I thinks that harm has come to the hu- man race from the tendency in certain parts of the world to prevent habitual I criminals from becoming parents. The lfal1acy lies in the inability to dis 1 tinguish between the qualities of ad- vantage to the individual and qualities of advantage to the race. Many burg lars have qualities of immense advant- age to the race. On this theory it may be, as suggested. that the instinct I of the masses Is more truly scientific l than the merely educated insight of the classes, and it sees in the romantic burglar qualities which. though misdi- rected, are in themselves admirable; hence the popularity of Rallies" and 1 his kind. But we do not get any where toward relieving the burden Of burglary with us by this sort of thing unless we make an applicatlo0 Possi 1 bly we might advertise for "tffe gentle burglar to cease from burgling'' as tho l song in Pirates of Penzance" has it, and urge him to devote some of the ad
 inirable qualities which eugenics hold | that he has to cleaning out the rest of l the burglars. Thus we might do | double stroke of business as London did when 1t adopted Jonathan Wild as thief catcher, and Paris when it put Vidocq at the head of the detective force.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, April Special. 1.-The market was very active during the day with good cables, steady spots. and thousand bids for the new crop. Some foreign selling marked the advance and the trading was nervous and within comparatively narrow limits. Liquida- ton was extensive. supplying all de- mands but. the demand continued up to the close though at lower prices Rains are heavy in many districts out side of Texas, the weather Is the weighty factor with apprehension of more rains within the next few days The belief Is current that without im- mediate settled good weather u large yield Is impossible.
 Reports from Georgia arc poor, anc Texas is less encouraging, but profit taking is so extensive that 1t may be difficult to maintain present. prices.

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans. April 22.-Cotton fu-
 lures opened steady at an advance of v to points on good cables and rs-
 ports of much rain In the cotton belt
 ever Sunday. Rivers reports were im-
 proved. Letters from many parts of
 the belt complained of excessive mois-
 ture leading to delay. Offerings came chiefly from profit-taking longs. At tho
 end of the first half hour prices were | 10 to 2 points over Saturday. Near the middle of the morning Of ferings from realizing longs became heavy enough to exert considerable pressure on the market.
 The trading months fell to points compared with the previous prices of Saturday. The forecast of clearing weather for the belt with the excep- ton of showers in Georgia and the carolinas helped to bring about this freaction.
 The list afterward strengthened iagain on fresh purchases by the pub lie. At noon the most active. months were 1 to points over the close of Sat- Iurday.
 Tn the afternoon the list was fea- tureless. At o'clock the list was 2 to points over the close of Saturday

 HEAVY IN COTTON
New High Records for Bull Movement Made Follow
 ing Weather Reports

Now York, April 22.-New high records for the bull movement were made in the cotton market at the opening this moru- ing on reports of further heavy rains in the south, but with the outlook for clear ing conditions tomorrow realizing was very heavy and the close was barely steady net point lower to 2 points higher
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of sq14 points, with July contracts selling at II Sic and october at Il soc on the call. while December touched 11.94c. or within points Of the predicted Pc level. This was better than due on the cables and heavy realizing was attracted Offer ings were we'll absorbed on a scale down as result of covering by sellers of last week and trade support. but prices gradually worked off to practically the opening figures clearing weather follow ing showers and thunderstorms in the Carolinas and Georgia this afternoon probably inspired some local selling for q reaction as well as increased the disposi- ton to take profits on long cotton on the decline. '---'-'-'-----------------'
 There was a good deal of trade buying | around the final figures of last week. however and the market during the early afternoon firmed up again on bulish pri- Vate reports from the south and the off eial detailed reports showing the precipi- tation to have been very heavy since Saturday morning in almost all sections of the belt. This second advance carried prices about Sd10 points net higher, but realizing became heavier in the last houl and the market closed at practically tn, 1 lowest level of the day.
 1 Private wires from eastern and centra sections of the belt emphasized the fur ther delay in farm work resulting iron | the gains reported over the weekend ant some of the advices from eastern bel points reported that it was raining agair l this afternoon. There were also reports of a firm spot situation on the afternoon advance and local bulls said that the re ports from the new crop start wer, strengthening the views of old croI l holders.
