From them are recruited paupers,
industrial inefficients (poor servants,

holes. Probably 25 per cent. of the
criminals are feeble-minded, which Is

MINDED
A BIG MENACE
PROF. GESEI1L POINTS OUT UN-
REALIZED PREVALENCE OF
THIS AFFTICTION ABOUT
COUNTRY.
ACUTE INTHIS STATE
Important Address Given BY Yale
Man At Conference On Mental
Hygiene.
Method Of Determination.

I. New Haven, Jan. 10-Cranks, genius
es and freaks are all types of the fee
blem1nded, displaying the same
psychology, according to Prof. Arnold
L. GeseII of Yale University, who ad-
Vanced that opinion last night in his
talk observation-disclosures at the
Mental Hygiene conference at Wool
sey hall, and he maintained that 1t
is often difficult to distinguish be-
tween actual idiocy and genius Of one
type or other. To ILLUSTRATE this par
ticular point in his lecture Profess
sor Gesen threw upon the screen the
picture of a patient in an English
asylum, who had perfected the most
remarkable hand carved battleship
finished in the minutest detail. This
man, however, was so destitute of
mentality that outside of an inStitu-
person.
DR.. Gese11 is director of the juve-
nile clinic established at the Yale Med
zeal school for the mental exaInina-
ton of children and the educational
needs of special children.
FeebIemindedness Prevalent.
He first discussed the little known
prevalence of feeblemindedness. He
cited the results of a recent survey of
one generation of families (1880-1913)
in q. village of a thousand Inhabitants
(and thirteen saloons0 Sixteen per
cent. of these families proved to have
one or more feeble minded members
and 10 per cent had insanity These
figures represent only one village but
degenerate type. The recent author
itative estimate of the number Of
feeIblem1nded in the public schools of
New York city is probably applicable
to villages and cities in the country
at large. There are probably fifteen
thousand feebIeminded children in the
desks of the New York public schools.
The school system can not, however
cure this observation-disclosures. Many of
the children are not even recognized
as being feeb1eminded. Moreover
their deficiency is constitutional

The individual rarely has the inteIli-

GOVERNOR NOW
PROBES CHARGES
TELLS COMMITTEE he Will
LOOK INTO THE STATEMENTS
MADE AGAINST CAD
WE'LL.
SITUATION IS. CHANGED
If Executive Then Decides To Send
In Name 1t May Get Needed
Eighteen Votes.

Hartford Jan. 1O-From reports
around the capitol the chances of w.
State highway commissioner depend
largely upon the outcome of an inquiry
into the charges against him by. the
Governor himself. 1t is not yet clear
that he can muster the necessary Is
votes in the Senate if the Governor
sends his name in finally, but he is
considerably nearer to it than he was
"a hours ago.
When the committee of Democratic
Senators visited Governor Baldwin to
confer with him upon the Caldwell
matter they found the Governor quite
open to argument. He told them that
he was glad to hear. any objections
they might have to Cadwel1s nomina-
ton and was personally glad to have
an opportunity to hear such objections
before the name was Asent into the
Senate.
The Senators then went over in de-
tail the charges that had been made
against the New Britain engineer at
| the Senatorial gathering in New Ha-
ven last week Governor Baldwin lis
tened to what was said and then an
nounced that in justice to the Sena-
| tors, to Engineer Caldwell and to him
self, he would investigate the charges
before sending the nomination to the
Senate
The tntination was of course that if
the charges We're true the name would
not be sent into the Senate. With
that understanding the Senators left
the Governor.
It now appears that upon the com
nittee which waited on the Governor
were some of the Senators who de-
clared last week that they would not
vote for Caldwell. At least two of the
members of the committee are known
to have said since the meeting with
the Governor that If Governor Bald
win, after due investigation of the
charges made, decides that, they are
without foundation and sends in Cad
wells name, they VIII vote to confirm
him.
In other words. these Senators hold
the position that a Democratic row
over the highway conrnissionershfp is
just exactly what the Republicans are
playing for and they assert that they
will not be a party to it.
If CadweIf's name is sent in, he will
need Is Democratic votes to receive
confirmation. 1t is said that If the
Governors investigation shows him
blamelesS in the charges made he
stands a. very good chance Of getting
the necessary 10 votes.

FEAR DAMAGE

New Haven, Jan. 1o-Oyster1nen in
this city who have extensive beds of
the btvalves planted in the shallow
waters near shore have suffered con-
siderable loss as a consequence of the
recent high winds, and storms along
the Sound. which have dashed the
waves to unusual heights. and have
washed some of the beds to the sur

cannot possibly bear fruit. NO esti-

protected by their distance from the
surface, presumably, although none of
the big dealers had made any inves-
legation yet of the beds to ascertain
the exact damage done
All of them agreed, however, that
. they would probably sound the wa
tiers, a process hitherto impossible on
account of the high seas, for any pos
i9sh1e damage to the crop.
Whatever the result of the fnvesti-
cation, the crop this year will not be
materially affected, inasmuch as it
requires from three to four years to
grow from the seed to the marketable
product

not been actually destroyed, sand

asked for further negotiations by to-

would be ordered to quit London
forthwith.
1t Was expected mat, during the "A

from their governments authority to
turn the anbassadorial conversations
into a formal aInbaSsadorial confer

the Balkan states demand, with the
exception OF g cash indemnity

worrying the diplomats. RDUnnania's
declaration that she had broken off
NEGOTIATIONS with Bulgaria and would
immediately send troops into the

people do not stop to realize the great
danger from their employment Our
Commission, continued the speaker,
has received reports from various sec
tons of the state where people are
employed in the preparation of food
stuffs, and still we know of law
which can prevent it. If we are to
stamp out this disease, we will have
to take up this important question
and Iegis1ate to not alone do justice
to the public but to the consumptive
worker as well. A careful conSunp p
tive is not dangerous. It is the care
less one which we must guard against.
The speaker declared that in his
opinion the physical condition of a
person had more to do with the
bringing on of the disease than the
occupation in which they are employ
ed. The statistics gathered of people
employed. show how complicated this
problem is. For instance, it is com
monty thought that the position of
hostler in a stable would be a very
hea1thful occupation for persons who
are inclined to have lung trouble, and
still the death rate among this class is
much greater than among textile fac
tory operators, the figures being 267
per 100000 against 207 per 100000
among mill workers. And if we go
further, we find that among the coal
miners, who work in dust and damp
ness, the percentage is only 100, while
the death rate among servants which
we usually consider a very hea1thfu1
occupation, is about three and one
half times greater.
Mr.. Gunshanan said there are many
agencies at work in the state combat
ting this Disease and much legislation
is desired, but without education
among all the people, so as to give
good healthy public opinion to back
it up, legislation would be q failure

Headlights Too Bright

Manager ]. E. Sexton of the Nevada.
Eureka Railroad was in Carson last
week with other railroad officials in CON-
ference with Governor Oddie relative to
the headlight bill which has been intro.
duced In the Legislature.
What constitutes an efficient head
light was the burden Of the CONVERSE
ton. IL is claimed by the railroad men
that the headlights of 1900 candle power
proposed in the new bill are inimical to
safety; that the glare from such head
lights is so severe as to blind the vision
of AN engineer. making it impossible for
him to see objects plainly. 1t was held
that the electric headlights now used on
passenger engines are as high.powered
as consistent with efficiency. and even
some of these, running mp to 800 candle
power without refectors. were said to
be too brilliant for best results.
Governor Oddie has since signed the
new headlight bill and it Is now a law.
