PASSES TWO DRASTIC BILLS.

Wisconsin Puts Through EngenIc and
Sterilization Acts.
Madison, Wis, July 28.-The Wis
consin legislature took a radical stand
on eugenic problems and adopted the
two most extreme measures on mar
rage and the future of race ever
passed in any state in the Union. The
two houses both passed bills provid-
ing for a health certificate with every
marriage license, and also a measure
providing for sterilization of undesir-
ables. Both bills go to the governor,
for his signature.
The eugenic marriage bill provides
that persons applying for licenses

DECLARES BANKS HAVE
FORCED DOWN u. S. BONDS
Secretary of the Treasury Sees Plan
to Arouse Fear of New Currency
Measure.

Washington, July 30.-Sensational
charges were made by Secretary Of
the Treasury McAdoo in connection
with the depreciation of the market
quotations on two per cent. United
States bonds to 951a. Secretary Nc
Adoo charges that "a number of influ-
entail New York city banks" have
forced down the price Of the bonds
Ito cause apprehension and uneasi-
ness about these bonds in order to
help them in their efforts to defeat
the currency bill"
Secretary McAdoo announced it was
not his intention to require the banks
to charge off the present depreciation
below par, but that the banks might
continue to put in the bonds at par in
their statements to the controller of
the currency, at least until some ma
terial change in conditions should
compel the adoption of another
course"
In his statement Secretary McAdoo
declared the 2 per cents. were worth
Notwithstanding their decline in
the New York market, and continued:
"The idea seems to be that the
country banks, which hold about two
thirds of the 2 per cent. bonds, and
use them as the basis for their circu-
lating notes, may be induced to unite
with the New York city banks in OPP
position to the bill If they can be
made to believe that the proposed cur
rency measure Is going to injure these
bonds and cause losses to the banks.
This Is of course unfounded.
Meantime, 1t Is folly for any bank
to sell government rs at sacrifice be-
cause of any apprehended legislation
adverse to government bonds, as no
such legislation will result. In the 124
years of it's existence, the, government
has, kept faith scrupulously with its
creditors, and it is not going to
change It's honorable character now.
If the necessities of any bank oblige
it to sell bonds at depressed prices.
that, of course is another matter-a
matter solely for the bank to deter
mine"

AMBASSADOR WILSON IN
FAVOR OF HUERTA REGIME
Enjoys Report to Secretary Of State
Is Given in Part-lntervention
Is Not Wanted.

New York, July 29.-According to
a special dispatch from Washington to
the New York Herald Sunday, it is
possible to summarize the most sig
nificant portions of the report which
Ambassador Wilson submitted to Sec
rotary of State Bryan on conditions In
Mexico
Ambassador Wilson thinks Generat
Huerta is big man and that his IS
the only government worthy OF the
name in Mexico. He suggests that the
Huerta government be recognized on
these conditions:
That it controls all Mexico up to the
twenty-sixth parallel, and is compe-
tent to hold and will hold constitu-
tional election at an early date.
That it come to an agreement with
the United States in regard to the
Chamizal boundary dispute occasioned
by the shifting of the course Of the
Rio Grande at Ell Paso. Tex.
That it come to an agreement with
the United States regarding control
of the Colorado river, whose shifting
course has endangered Americans IN
the Imperial valley of California.
That the perpetrators of the Alamo
murders be punished.
That all legitimate foreign obliga-
tons be discharged.
That authority be granted the Unit
ed States to enter northern Mexico
and suppress disorders above the
twenty-sixth parallel.
The ambassador does not favor in
tervention, but feels it his duty to out
line certain considerations to be borne
carefully in mind against such a con-
tingency. First, he said that all Amer
leans should be called out of Mexico,
and then the United States should de-
clare in the most emphatic terms that
it was intervention only to restore or
der and had no intention of remaining
in Mexico or acquiring territory.
