Battle Creek, Mich, Jan. g.
Among the interesting subjects for
discussion at the first annual con-
ference on race betterment to take
place here Jan. 8 to IL will be that
of Dr.. Victor Vaughn, president of
the American Medical association
who will outline the career of Martin
Kallikak, and his two sets of chill
dren. Kallikak, who was a person
of some prominence, became the fa-
ther of an illegitimate son about
the beginning Of the Revolutionary
war. The mother was feeble mind
ed woman whose name has been lost
to history. From the son there have
descended in direct line 4SO. individ-
uals, only forty-three of whom have
been normal, healthy and sane men
and women. After the war Killikak
married woman of good stock and
from this woman there have descend
ed 496 individuals, all except three
of whom have been normal in body
and mind. To discourage such unions
as Kallikak's first and encourage
such as his second, is the task under
taken by the conference. v, H.

GOVERNOR TRAMMELL IS
INSPECTING NEW PRISON FARM

Jacksonville, Jan. 6.-Hon. Park
Trammell, governor of Florida, spent
yesterday in Jacksonville. Governor
Trammell left last night for Raiford,
Bradford county, where he goes to
make an official inspection of the
new prison farm recently established
there by the State. Under an act
passed by the last Legislature the
number of convict farms was in
creased from one to two, the first, or
original farm being located at Ocala.
The Ocala farm is being used by the
State almost exclusively for women.
The last Legislature also made it
possible for each individual county
to hire out it's own convicts. AS
there was a weak response to the in
vitation to obtain the services Of the
convicts through the medium of the
individual counties, the State had to
proceed with a plan to hire them in
bulk lots. AS usual, Governor Tram
nell is looking healthy and hand
some, and hundreds of friends greet
ed him during his stay in the city.

SUGGESTION TO UNCLE SAM
FROM MR.. MILTON

Editor Telegram: VIII you please
tell Uncle Sam to bring his machin-
cry from Panama across to Florida
and use it awhile? l would tell him,
but he wouldn't pay any attention to
me; nobody hardly ever does.
We want water way across this
State, say commence at the mouth of
the St. Mary's river and open it to
the head and then open the Suwan-
nee river to the mouth and then we
would have it. 1t wouldn't take
much expense compared to the Pana-
ma canal and then he could use
some of the machinery to good ad-
vantage in the Everglades.
If those Indians come to the Ever
glades they will want all that lana
drained SO they can make living
on it, don't you think SO

HOPES FOR REST OF
CIR v ABANDON. D
(By Associated Press }

New York, Jan. 6 6.-Hopes that
eight more of the crew of the tank
steamer Oklahoma, which sank off
Sandy Hook Sunday, had been saved
in small boat, were this morning
abandoned when the revenue cutter
Seneca, which went to the rescue,
reported that she had picked up an
empty boat from which it is believed
the men were washed overheard. The
steamer Bavaria which picked up the
captain and seven of the crew of
forty, reported that IA boat contain
ing eight men left before the ship
sank and it is thought this boat is
the one the Seneca found. 1t is
thought here that the Oklahoma did
not suffer an explosion, but broke in
two following a heavy fight with the
waves. The Bavaria with the sur
vivors arrived in Boston today.

TO MOVE FOR REMOVAL
OF WHEAT DUTY

Winnepeg, Jan. 6 6.-Conservative
Member Harvey C.. Simpson plans to
make significant move in the Man

day. The significance lies in the
fact that the motion comes from
member Of the government, and ad-
vocates the removal of the counter
vailing duty upon wheat to give the
farmers the benefit of the Under
wood tariff. The resolution is doubly
significant following the recent

Government found that free wheat
would be in the interests of the peo.
pie of Canada then free wheat it
wouldbe.
