the tour of inspection.
After Mrs. Wilson had departed, the
fact that she had been through the office

YOU COLD FLOODED
Then You Have characteristics OF a
Criminal, Says Medical journal.

Chicago, May 3.-Cold bloodedness
is a physical characteristic of the
habitual criminal, according to sta
tistics published in the Journal of the
American Medical association The
temperature of murderers is found to
be strikingly subnormal. Abnormal
pulse and respiration are found to be
characteristic of the confirmed Grim
inal.
The figures were obtained from ex-
animation of more than 1900 convicts
in the Wisconsin state penitentiary.
Comparisons were made with statistics
of 100000 average Americans exam
ined for life insurance.
General physical degeneracy is
found to stigmatize the criminal. The
average convict is three inches below
the normal in stature, light in weight
and with small chest expansion. The
results agree with similar experiments
in British prisons. Comparisons be-
tween murderers and other criminals
show the homicides to be taller than
others and to lead them in chest
measurement and expansion.

WILSON is HOME
Returns to White House After
New Jersey Tour.
Has Truce Talk With McCOmbS
and McAdOO.

Washington, May president Will
son RETURNED to the White House at s
o'clock today after two days speak
ing trip through New Jersey. He eX-
pressed himself as pleased with his
reception in his home state and con-
fident that the reforms he advocated
ultimately would be accomplished
One of the incidents of the trip
which afforded the president much
satisfaction and which did not be-
come known until today was his meet
ing in New York with National Chair
man William F. McCombs and Secre-
ment at the home of Colonel E. NJ.
House.
1t was the first time that Chairman
McCombs and Secretary McAdoo,
who was vice chairman, had met since
the early days of the campaign. Diff
ferences of opinion as to the manage
ment of the campaign was said to have
existed between the two, though their
relations with Mr.. Wilson always were
of a, warm cordiality. In view of the
widespread significance, politically,
that had been attached to the situa-
ton. the president was glad to meet his
friends for a social chat, especially
since Mr.. McCombs was scheduled to
sail for Europe today for several
months rest.
The departure of Mr.. McCombs for
Europe revived talk here of the cir
cumstances under which he declined
the presidents offer to be ambassador
to France. There was an intimation
that while Mr.. McCombs was going
abroad for rest he might be offered
the same post later and would accept.
So far as is known the president has
not determined upon anyone else for
this post.
The president had no engagement
for the day and planned a holiday. He
started out walking early and did not
expect to be in his office except for a
brief period. Tonight at o'clock he
was to press a button opening a reli-
gious exhibition in Chicago.
Chairman McCombs, who sailed for
today to escape insistent Of
ficeseekers, announced that on his re-
turn he would continue his law prac-
tice.

Proceedings Before Court.

Jefferson City, May 3.-Arguments in
the contempt of court case against
William r. Nelson, editor and owner
of The Kansas City Star formed the
principal order of business on the pro-

supreme court. The case came to the
supreme court on appeal from Kansas

port held Mr.. Nelson had no ma
licious intent in publishing the article.
Attorneys for Mr.. Nelson and friends of
the court representing Judge Guthrie
were allowed an hour each for argu-

FIGHTING THE FREE LIST
Kansas Live Stock Association Doesn't
Want Meats Placed There.

Members of the Kansas State Live
Stock association, at their meeting in En-
poria this week, filed protests against
any move on the part of congress which
tends to put meats on the free list and
places a duty on cattle. A special COM
mittee composed of NJ NJ Sherman. John
A. Edwards. T NJ Potter, George Plumb
and Joseph H Mercer have sent the fol-
lowing telegram to each member OF the
Kansas delegation in Washington:
THE Kansas State Live stock associa-
ton at its meeting protested vigorously
against making meats free and placing
duty on cattle. Free meat benefits only
the packer and makes his monopoly alb
solute He will then control both the live
and dressed animals; he will dictate the
price to producer and consumer alike. For
relief from high beef give us free cattle
and a tariff on meat
Stock raisers who attended the Emporia
meeting were loud in their condemnation
of the free meat and protected cattle pro-
gram. They urge that such policy.
means the placing of the Kansas stock
raisers at the absolute mercy of the pack
ers' trust without lowering the price Of
meat to the consumers. Every member
of the Kansas delegation in Washington
will be urged to vote and work against
the passage of such measure.
