Aienists Go on Record Favoring
Dry Legislation in All
of States.
WANT THE PUBLIC TAUGHT
Medical Profession Urged to Carry on
Campaign Of Education Among
Their Patients.

Chicago, Ill, July I5.-The alienists
and neurologists who are meeting at
the Hotel La Sale came out yester-
day condemning unqualifedly the use
of alcoholic drinks.
A resolution presented by the COM
mittee on alcoholism as a positive fac
tor of insanity In which IL was recon-
mended that the medical profession
should carry on a persistent campaign
OF educating the public to the harm
full effects of alcohol, and take the in
itiative in securing legislation to pre-
vent the sale of alcoholic beverages,
was passed without a dissenting vote.
The report was presented by DR.. A.
NJ. Corwin of Chicago. secretary of
the committee. DR.. Charles Read, as
sis:ant superintendent of the Chicago
State Hospital for the Insane, is chair
man of the committee. and the other
members are DIR. w. S. Lindsay OF To-
peka, Kas.; DR.. Tom B. Throckmor-
ton OF Des Moines, Iowa. and DR.. Theo-
dore DiIler OF Pittsburgh. Pa
Ready With Statistics.
There was almost no discussion of
the resolution. Dr. Corwin said the
members OF the committee we're ready
with statistics and other information
10 substantiate their recommendations
in case there had been any objection
Following is the full report:
Whereas, In the opinion OF the alien
lists and neurologists of the United
States, in convention assembled, it has
been definitely established that alco-
hol when taken into the system acts
as a definite poison to the brain and
other tissues; and,
Whereas. The effects of this poison
are directly or indirectly responsible
for a large proportion Of the insane,
epileptic. feeble minded, and other
forms of mental, moral, and physical
degeneracy; and,
Whereas, The laws of many states
make alcohol freely available for
drinking purposes, and there fore cater
to the physical. mental, and moral de-
generation of the people; and,
Whereas, Many hospitals for the in
sane and other public institutions are
a multitude of inebria-es; and,
Whereas, Many states already nave
established separate colonies for the
treatment and reduction OF such in
ebriates, with great benefit to the in
dividuals and 10 the commemorative;
therefore be it
Resolved. That we unqualifiedly con-
denim the use Of alcoholic beverages
and recommend that the various state

PLAN TO DIG UP
ANCIENT MOUNDS
Davenport Archaeological Soci.
ETY. to Make Researches
During Fall.

Search for prehistoric treasures in
the Indian mounds on the Robertson
and Lowry farms near Montpelier VIII
be begun by the Scott County Archae-
illogical society next September, &C
cording to plans decided on by the
organizers of the society.
In both places the mounds are on
high hills overlooking the Mississippi
river. They have never been dug
open, although the knowledge OF their
existence has been known for years.
Owing to their shape, 1t is expected
that both groups q, mounds have more
than an ordinary significance in the
history of the prehistoric inhabitants
of this part of southeastern Iowa.
There are seven mounds in the Rob
ertson group, situated on a high hill
overlooking the river, three miles be-
low Montpelier. The mounds are in
semfcircle formation and one still
stands over Is feet higher than the
surface of the adjoining land. 1t is
supposed that this large mound will
yield rich finds to the archaeologists.
The Lowry mounds, so called from
the owner of the farm on which they
aer situated, are also on hilltop. but
are very fat and are not expected to
return as important relics. There are
three mounds in the group.
Permission has been secured from
the land owners In each place to allow
the excavation of the mounds. The
society has decided to wait until COOL
er weather before undertaking the
laborious task of digging open the
mounds, following experience several
years ago when an attempt was made
in the middle of the summer to dig
open a burial mound in Schick's pas
ture. The attempt was abandoned be-
fore any finds had been made.
Since the society was formed and
affiliated with the American Archae-
illogical society. many farmers have
written saying they believed mounds
were located on their farms and they
would be glad to give permission for
excavation. There are known to be
several mounds near New Era in Mus
catine county. A letter was received
a few days ago by the society from
farmer living seven miles southeast of
Albany, saying there were number
of mound builders remains on his
place he was anxious to have explored.

Three Accidents Occur in Family in
Few Days-Word was received in the
city of the death of Albert j. Carlin,
on June 81 at Laramie, Wyo. Carlin,
while stepping from an oil car to a
box car, grasped a grab-iron which
pulled out and dropped him between
the cars. The wheels struck his chest
and the ten remaining cars of his train
passed over his body. AS he had just
accident his disappearance was not no
ticed until the train had advanced sc
miles, and in the interim, three passen-
ger trains passed over the body. The
death of Carlin was the third consecu-
tive accident occurring in the Carlin
family in as many days. On the 25tb
of June his sister Loretta was nearly
drowned in the Des Moines river; on
the 26th his brother Joseph fell head
first from a scaffold % feet high which
broke while he was at work in Iowa
City; and on the 9th the elimination
came when Carlin was crushed be-
meath freight car wheels in Montana.
On Jan. 6, of this year Carlin was in
ternally injured while switching at
Wyo., and was confined for
two months in a Denver hospital. Up |
on recovery he returned to his former |
position and exactly two months later, |
the fatal grab iron on car which had |
been inspected the same day dropped |
him to his death. Carlin had been mar |
ried but two months to Edna Harrison |
Of Des Moines and the young bride has |
been in a critical condition since the |
death of her husband. Carlin was "a !
years old and until two years ago had |
made his home in Davenport. Four

BY HERBERT QUICK

The Panama Canal has always been
in great favor in the central portions
of the country as prospective regu-
lator of railway rates.
1t is time, however, for the manu-
facturers of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Kentucky, Michigan, Wisconsin, Min
nesota, Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Ne
braska and all regions similarly stu
ated to awake to the probability of
changed business conditions when the
canal is opened.
Can they hold their Western bust
ness when the Eastern and Southern
States are able to ship through the
canal? At this time the Midwestern
manufacturer is favoraby situated for
getting business for several hundred
miles back of the Pacific coast. These
regions have to be served by railways
and the Midwest has the shorter haul
But suppose that, with the cana
opened, the Eastern manufacturers
are able to ship for half or two-thirds
the railway tariff? Will they not be
able to distribute from San Francisco
Portland, Seattle and Tacoma on such
terms as to empower them to take
the business from the Midwesterners!
VIII not the water rates from the
Eastern and gulf ports via the canal
plus the railway rates eastward from
the Pacific, be less than rail rates from
the Midwest? In other words, VIII

Canal Will Develop River Transportation

not the coast region which can most
easily be served from the Pacific ports
be extended hundreds of miles east
ward, to the prejudice of the Midwest
ern manufacturer and the advantage
of the Eastern concerns?
So good an authority as the trans
portation editor of the London Times
thinks so.
The remedy, however, is in the
hands of the midwest. If waterway
/ brings on a great new commercial
fight, waterways must be used to win
it. The cure for the evils of water
ways, If any develop, is more water
ways.
The Missouri, the Ohio, the Missis-
sippi, the Cumberland, the Tennessee
and many other midwestern rivers
must give the same treatment which
| the Rhine. the Danube, the Volga and
other European rivers had had.
They must be improved. Their chan
nels must be deepened. New sorts of
boats must be built for the economical
handling of freight. Public docks and
wharves must be equipped with mod
ern freight handling machinery. Bust
ness must go to the gulf by water and
| by water to the Pacific coast-and to
| all the rest of the world.
! Within two years men who have al
ways laughed at these streams will
| have ceased to laugh. They will be
organizing to promote waterway de-
velopment to save their own financial
skins.
