.EUGENIC CAMPAIGN
Other Wives Of Prominent Of
iciaIs Form Women's Clinic
in Washington.

WASHINGTON, June 5.--Mrs John
Hays Hammond has launched a
movement here for healthy mar
riages.' At her home Mrs. Woodrow
Wilson, Mrs William Jennings Bry-
an and other well known official and
society circle women of Washington
met and discussed lays and means
to prevent the marriage of the phys
icaliy and mentally unfit.
A womans clinic will be held in
Washington with view to interest
Ing women of AL classes. An edu-
cational campaign is to be conducted.
Practical eugenies, are to, be taught.
Already $1,000 has been contributed
to help the work forward Among
the contributors and patronesses Of
the clinic are Mrs Wilson, Mrs.
Hammond. Mrs. Bryan, Mrs. Arthur
J. Parsons Mrs Henry c. Perkins
Mrs. Richard Wainwright, Mrs. julius
Lansburgh. Mrs. E. G. Siggers, Mrs.
G. d. Lamb and Mrs. Phillip Henry.
DR.. Elnora Folkmar a hygiene ex-
pert spoke plaintly to the women who
assembled at Mrs. Hammond's home
She advocated the examination by
health officers Of men and women
before they are given marriage IL
censes. She urged the following
methods to prevent the birth of "un-
fit children:
First-Education in sex hygiene, so
that the wife may know that the
husband has not only worldly capital
but biological capital"
Second the application Of correc-
tive measures in the economic sys-
TEN so that early marriages may be
the rule.
Third-the creation Of system
whereby the woman may have NOR
power Of selection in choosing a
husband
Fourth-The establishment Of wild
ows' pensions, so children may be
reared in their own homes
FIfth-More universal legislation
against the marriage Of persons phys
ically and mentally unfit. preferably
segregation and sterilization laws
such as now exist I'm many States.
SiXth-The wiping out Of the dou-
BILE morals standard Of to-day
Infant resistance is "a more impor-
tant consideration than infant NOR
tality.' said Or. Folkmar In the
District between so and 20 per cent
Of the children who die I'm their first
year are victims Of poor equipment.

licited by Nineteen Women in a

Statements lcredited to DR.. Samuel

Atlanta he had been solicited by wom-

The statements credited to Dr. Bat
ten are characterized as lies and a
SANDER ON the city by ministers who
claim they have made personal
investigations of the conditions
since the Teuderloin district was
abolished They declare that his as
sertions are absurd. and that Atlanta
is more free from the street evil than
any city its udze in the United States.
Chief of Police James L. Beavers,
whose vice crusade, eliminating in
the exodus Of the scarlet women, at

DR.. Batten is afflicted with an over
vivid Imagination. He probably saw
one woman on the streets at a com

that because she was on the streets
she was soliciting.
Or. White Has Investigated.
Il have personally investigated va
rious reports OF soliciting that have
come TO my attention and have not
been able TO find that any of them
are based on actual occurrences. l

DR.. Charles w. Daniel pastor OF the

the statements credited to DR.. Batten
as part Of a systematic effort to dis
credit the work Of the men who have
driven vice out Of Atlanta, and de-
clared the statements are lies and

anyone else made them. they are lies

What Or. Batten Claims.
According to Dr. Batten. he made
his investigation when he together
with Dr. Bailey. Of Philadelphia,
was in Atlanta about three weeks ago.
The Interview which Is credited to
him follows:
While l was In Atlanta three
weeks ago I had a splendid opportu-
rity to investigate conditions there.
While they have eliminated the red
light district completely. they have
not stopped solicitation upon the
streets, and some of the women of
the city are more corrupt than any
have ever seen.
