There are no Mexican war veterans

state librarian and the county clerk of
the enumeration of soldiers in Wayne
township.
There are only three Spanish Ameri-
can war veterans and seventeen civil
war veterans. One of the Spanish
American veterans enlisted when he
was but II years of ago. Theodore
Cook is the oldest civil war veteran.
Mr.. Cook enlisted with the Fiftieth

The total enumeration this year was

cent of increase is considerably larger
than in former years.

SHOULD SEGREGATE
INSANE SAYS PROF,
r. D. Meyers, of Indiana Uni
yersity, Talks to Ply
sicians.
MANY FEEBLE MINDED
Local Minister Censures
County Clerk-Kallikak
Family.

Prof. r. ID. Meyers, of Indiana Uni
versity, gave an address before the
Wayne County Medical society yester-
day afternoon on the subject of "The
Halifax Family" a study in heredity.
"There are many students attending
schools in Indiana as many other
states who are physically developed
though their minds are childish" said
the speaker This fact has been ascer-
tanned through the complex system
worked out by French scientist. The
scheme of the system is to work out a
number of questions which are ey-
tremely simple to start with and grad
ually become more complex. These
questions are asked a number of chill
dren of normal minds and the places
where they break down and fail to
answer the question is taken as the
height of their advancement. When
these same questions are sometimes
asked adults it is ascertained that
there are many who have the bodies of
men and women though they only
have the mental capacity of child"
This result is the outcome of feeble
mindedness to which may be attribut-
ed, epilepsy and insanity according to
Prof. Meyers. In the course of his talk
it was systematically shown how 480
invalids, feeble minded persons, insane
inmates of houses of ill fame, and al
coholics were brought into the world
through an indiscreet act of a soldier
named Martin Halifax who took ad-
vantage of a feeble minded girl during
the war which resulted in the birth of
a child, who continued the work of
bringing these forms of persons into
the world.
Burden To Country.
How these people are increasing in
numbers was explained and what a
burden to the country they are be-
coming, was illustrated by showing
how this one family was filling up in
sane hospitals. penal and charitable
institutions throughout New England
Statistics were read showing that
of the 100 cases tried in the Newark
juvenile court, 81 We're feeble minded
children; of the 81 girls in the re
formatory In Newark, So are feeble
minded. Other institutions reported
that 40 per cent of the inmates were
feeble minded.
Segregation Necessary.
"The remedies for these conditions
are few, though if we could segregate
them into colony we would be com
paratively SAFE" he said.
According to Prof Meyers the mum
Der of feeble minded persons would
be reduced from 100000 to 100000
within one generation if they coult
be segregated. The problem of stamp
ing out this evil is a greater one thar
the reform problem now being cam

SLEEPING IN CHURCH.
II Used to BE Rudsiy lnterruptsd "
Olden Times In England.

Olden Times In England.
One John Rudge is on record as hav-
ing bequeathed to the parish OF Try
sull, in Shropshire. England. 20 shil'
lings year to be paid to "a poor man"
employed to 60, about church in sum-
mer to keep people awake.
At another English church, that of
Acton, in Cheshire. it was the practice
during the middle of the last century
for one Of the churchwardens to pro-
coed through the church during service
with huge wand in his hand where
with IL any one of the congregation
We're observed to be asleep he was in
stanEly awakened by tap on the head.
In Warwickshire similar custom
prevailed. A warden bearing a stout
wand shaped like hay fork at the end
stepped stealthily up and down the
nave and the aisles, and whenever he
saw an individual asleep he touched
him SO effectively that the nap was
broken, this being sometimes accom-
plished by the application of the fork
to the nape Of the neck.
A more playful method obtained in
another church. The beadle went about
during service carrying long staff, to
one end Of which was attached fox's
brush and to the other a knob. With
the former he gently tickled the faces
of the women sleepers, while with the
knob he bestowed sharp rap on the
heads Of male Observation-Disclosures.

paigned against in various parts of
Indiana.
Following the speech of Prof. Meyers
a general discussion on the subject en-
sued. Those who attended the meet
ing represented large per cent of the
Richmond Ministerial association,
nurses and a number of teachers. Ad-
Olson Parker spoke on conditions in
this city, and said Richmond was not
exempt from conditions similar to
those portrayed by the speaker.
County Clerk Blamed.
Rev. B. e. Parker stated that he
had been compelled to perform mar
rage ceremonies for persons for
whom he entertained grave fears.
"How some of them ever get by the
county clerk is more than I can I'M
derstand," he said. IF I were clerk |
would be careful to whom l gave out
license"
DIR. J. N. Study said he did not see
how some persons secured marriage
license. 81 do not believe a minister
is doing his duty when a ceremony is
performed where there is the slightest
doubt as to the mental capacity of the
applicants"
Another member of the society re-
ferred to marriage ceremony which
recently resulted in prosecution of one
of the contracting parties in the cir
cult court.

LETTERS RECEIVED
BY POLICY HOLDERS
Democratic House Member
Says It's Trick of Insur-
ance Companies.
BY CLYDE Il. TAvENNER, M. c.

WASHINGTON, May S.-The great
insurance companies are spending
100000 or SO in two-cent stamps COM
planning to their policy holders, the
burden of the< complaint being that
sessed against the dividends of the
company as proposed by the Under
wood tariff bill, will in the end fall on
The policy holders.
The purpose is, of course, to rouse
he thirty million policy holders of the
United States to their danger" SO
that a deluge of letters may brighten
the Democratic house into exempting
insurance companies from the tax.
And the public. having been gulled
often in the past by the insurance
companies, is swallowing this latest
bunk of the insurance kings, and many
letters of protest are being received
by congressman.
A little analysis of insurance
finance, however, shows how ridicu-
lous is this threat of the companies
to pass the income tax along to the
policy holders. They will no more
think of doing it than they will of
closing up their affairs because their
incomes will be taxed
For many years the insurance COM
panies maintained the fiction that the
dividends paid to policy holders We're
actual dividends. Dividends were the
bait held out by the companies to at
tract business. The agents and adyer-
Using literature told of the wise in
vestments and economical manage
ment of the companies, which enabled
them to permit policy holders to share
in the profits. Thousands of people
believed this, and insured themselves
in the companies paying the highest
dividends.
Then congress passed an excise law
taxing dividend corporations. At once
the insurance companies asked for ex-
emption. Their dividends to policy
holders, they explained land truth.
fully this time), were not dividends at
all. They charge the policy holder too
much for insuring him go per cent
too much is the exact figure), and they
each year graciously return part, but
not all, of this overcharge and call ii
a dividend.
The government, however, decided
to take the companies at their adver
tised word, and imposed on their net
profits out of which they declare divi
dends, the one per cent excise tax
which, by the way, was never passed
along to the policy holders.
The Underwood bill simply substi
tutes for the one per cent corporation
tax a one per cent income tax. An6
the companies are trying to Fighter
their policy holders by telling them
they will have to stand this tax in re
duced dividends.
Is this threat likely to be carried
out? The New York insurance inves
| tigation showed that in 1907 the insur
ance companies earned net $135, 600,
900 on a capitalization of only $40,

WASHINGTON, May s. Sever
al thousand pounds of trotol, used
as an explosive for harbor mines,
was shipped from the Dupont
powder works in Delaware to San
Francisco today under orders of
the war department. The ship
ment, 1t was declared at the de-
partment, has no connection with
the controversy with Japan over
the alien land law in California.
Major w. Cole in charge of the
work of laying mines in harbors
said that on January II bids were
asked on 10000 pounds of trotol
to be used for harbor mines and
some of 1t would be used on the
Pacific coast. The shipment to-
San Francisco does not in anv
way have connection with the
Japanese situation, he added.
