Russia Decides Upon Stern Measures

London.-The Russian government
has decided upon stern measures to
suppress disorders at Tabriz and other
disturbed Persian towns. The disloca.
ton Of the telegraph lines makes it
impossible to get reliable narrative Of
the outbreaks. yet it cannot be doubted
that situation of the greatest com

whether Persian independence ever

EXPECT A DEADLOCK
WESTERN WOOLMEN DO NOT BE.
LIEVE DUTIES WILL BE LOW
Erred DURING SESSION.
Opinion is Based Upon Belief That
Senate and House Will Fail to
Agree, or President viii Veto
Bill If One is Passed.

MISUNDERSTANDING Mcclure OF
the National Woolgrowers' associa.
ton, and other representatives of the
western woolgrowers in Washington,
are expressing the opinion that there
will be no legislation lowering the
tariff on wool during the present SEES
sion of congress. This opinion is
based upon the belief that the senate
and house will get into deadlock on
the question, resulting in no legisla-
ton, or if the Democrats, aided by
the Republican insurgents, secure the
passage of bill reducing the tariff
rates below what the conclusions of
the tariff board show they should be,
the president will veto the bill.
In the house the Democrats are di-
vided between advocacy of free wool
by the Bry antics and a low ad valo-
rem rate by Underwood and his sup
porters. The outcome in the house, it
is believed, will be a bill placing an
ad valorem rate of 20 per cent upon
wool importations, which would be
about - cents per pound on secured
wool at present market prices and
cents per pound less than the rate
which would be acceptable by the Re-
publicans and by those engaged in the
woolgrowing business. If the house
bill carrying ad valorem rates of rs
per cent should receive the support
of Senator La Toilette and his insur-
gent allies it would pass the senate,
but it is believed the president would
veto it or any bill not conforming to
the conclusions of the tariff board
and not CARRYING specific duty rates.

WOULD IMPROVE HUMAN RACE
Assistant Secretary of Agriculture
Would Classify all the Peoples
of the World.

Washington.-The classification of
all the peoples of the world in a great
international census, giving each per-
son number in a single world series
to the end that the human race may
be improved by scientific marriage
was the plan advocated Friday night
by w. w. Hays, assistant secretary of
agriculture, in an address before the
American Breeders association. one
of the organizations making up the
American Association for the Ad-
vallcement of Science Mr. Hays pro-
poses a classification of all human
beings, both as to mental aptitude
and senetic efficiency.
THE world numbers" said Mr.
Hays, would serve to joiS genealogies
into one numerical system, so that
all relationships could be traced. Each
person would have a number of per-
centage that could be averaged so as
TO give the family values of each per-
son.
The proposed plan would divide
people into classes. but the classified
ton would be beneficial because il
would be based on racial efficiency.
The wholesome consideration of ge-
netic facts will lead to less divorce.
greater temperance and better morals
Raising the average efficiency of the
human race probably would also in
crease the number of geniuses and
leaders"
