Professor Charles r Davenport, the great authority
heredity, says After score of generations the
given characteristics may still appear unaffected by
the repeated unions of foreign germ plasm" This
means that every individual possesses multitudes of
good and bad traits which it is impossible for any sci
entitc investigation to disclose consequently when
mating any two persons no matter how entirely free
from faint they may seem to be, there is telling
whether they will have perfect imperfect children
Another thing that works against the evolution of
a perfect man woman is the tendency of nature to

The perfect man woman is out of the question, and
the reason is that each individual has within him. in
less latent form, all the tendencies and char.

a man or woman is perfect in mind and body does

"BlackmaiP' to Charge of
Miss Jessie E. Cope
Special to The Tciesrafh

Chicago. ILL.,. Dec. ;. - Indictments
charging violation of the Mann White
Slave Act were returned by the Fed
eral grand jury in Chicago against
Colonel Charles Alexander, multimil-
lionaire member oil the firm of Alex
ander Brothers, of Providence, r. l..
and director in the Canadian SteeI
Company. The indictments charge
him with transporting Jessie E. Cope
of Los Angeles, Cal. from one State
to another for immoral purposes. Miss
Cope is said to be prominent in the So
cial life of Los Angeles.
II is said that Colonel Alexander
met Miss Cope two years ago while he
was wintering in Los Angeles and paid
her much attention. In her state
ment to the Federal grand jury, she
says he told her he would secure a
divorce and make her his wife. Act
ing on his suggestion, she says, she
came to Chicago in February, 1918,
and stopped with him at the Grand
Pacific Hotel. Later they travelled TO
New Orleans, spending some time
there, and also travelled to the East
living as man and wife, and that they
also journeyed across the country to
California together, still maintaining
the illegal relations.

State Game Officials Who Took I

BY Justice l

Lewistown. Pa. Dec. 5.---At a hearing
before Justice of the Peace VanNstts
yesterday. Charles and A. II. Baum. OF
Harrisburg, state game wardens,
charged by William PETER. of this
county with larceny for conhscating an
eagle that he had shot In the noun
tains near Granville. were discharged
from custody. and PETER. who shot the
huge bird was fined $40. Justice Van
Natta based his decision on an opinion
that he received from Attorney Cen
eral J. G. Bell. Lawyer Aikens acting
for PETER. charged that the game war
dens exceeded their authority in enter
ing tho home of teXidermist Pltman
without a search warrant and remov-
Ing therefrom the eagle, which Pltman
was mounting for PETER
The bird with a spread of wings of
over seven feet is being mounted and
will be placed in the capitol museum.
Friends of PETER here will raise
runds to take the case to the courts in
an effort to recover the eagle which
they claim was Illegally taken Local
sportsmen have volunteered to sub
/ scribe the amount needed to carry the
case to the courts. PETER refuses to
pay the fine and has been placed un-
der bail for a hearing next Monday
morning.
Lawyer Aikens made a strong point
when he said that eagles are not game
birds. and nowhere in the law does il
say that wild birds not game. shall be
confiscated. as is the rule when pros
tected game is illegally shot.
