NEW LAW ATTACKED.
Eugenic Marriage Measure to Be
Tested by Milwaukee Man.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, January 3.-Early
next week an application for writ of
mandamus to compel County Clerk L..
G. Widule to issue marriage license
to Alfred \. Peterson without the sub
mission of a medical certificate as de-
manded by the eugenic law will be pre-
sented in circuit court, said Harry r.
McLogan, an attorney, today.
That the measure is unrea sonable and
an unjust exercise of police powers will be
contended. and. further, that it is class
legislation in that it demands something
from the man with no corresponding as
surance to him of the absence of disease
In the woman.
For a third cause he will set forth that
the law discriminates against physicians
under thirty years of age, the majority
of them being capable and If anything
better qualified for the reason that they
have eceived later and more advanced
medical teachings than the older men.

NEW YORK, January

NEW YORK, January s.
With seventy-six-1nile gale from

great storm OF Christmas night,
the New Jersey coast points today
and tonight underwent perhaps the
worst experience they have had ill
many years \ high surf ran
along the entire coast, and it was
feared that with the coming OF
high tide toward morning the seas
would wash over much territory
which did not suffer in the previ-
Gus storm.
So far no loss OF life has been
reported. The damage to proper

hundreds Of thousands. Most OF
this has been done TO dwellings,
and other structures which the
storm OF two weeks ago lett with
out protection by breaking down
hulkheads and weakening others.
Seabright, as in the previous
storm. again bore the brunt of the
seas attack, because of its ex-
posed position on a narrow sand
spit between the ocean and the
Shrewsbury river. Today bulk
heads that had withstood the
previous storm gave way, addi-
tional sections were flooded and
more summer dwellings, wrecked
or badly undermined. The Octa-
gon Hotel, damaged already to
the extent OF $4,000, may become
a total loss.
Church Is in Peril,
The old St. Peters Church at Galilee

and the lawn washed out. Fishermen
worked hard to save the church.
Along the bulkhead front the waves
beat with tremendous force and power
Frequently they rose TO height of thirty
feet when they broke. When darkness
came little progress had been made by
workers along shore to stop the seas
ravages with temporary bulkheading. To
add to their difficulties the electric lights
went out, leaving SeabriEht and vicinity
in darkness. After u time the lights were
started up again.

Injuries When Struck by
Rockville Car.

Mrs. Blanche Hall. twenty-eight years
old, carrying her fonr-year-old daughter
Mildred in her arms, was struck by a
south-bound Rockville electric car at
Wisconsin avenue and @ street northwest
last night about $50 o'clock, the child
being instantly killed, while Mrs. Hall
was painfully injured.
A few minutes after the accident the
mother experienced the ordeal of riding
to Georgetown University Hospital in an
auto patrol wagon with the body of her
child 1t was not until after the hospital
was reached however, that she learned
her child was dead.
Artis II, Waters of 1888 33d street

sides at Rockville, Md. were taken to the

to notice the car on its way south
from Rockville.
Applied Emergency Brakes.
Motorman Waters said he was
operating his car on the down grade
at "a rate of speed that gave him full
control of the vehicle. despite the fact
the tracks were wet and slippery. AS
soon as he saw Mrs. Hall and the child
near the tracks he said, he applied the
emergency brakes. and did all in his
power to prevent an accident.
Mrs Hall. it is thought. was struck
BY the front dashboard of the heavy
vehicle The child fell between the fen
der and wheel guard and was rolled
along the tracks in front of the car d
distance of about thirty feet. Her skull
was crushed and she sustained other in
iuries.
Several policemen from the nearby po-
lice station assisted in getting Mrs. Hail
and the child to the hospital. They were
not certain the child was dead, but ply

Department of Labor Agent
Announces Failure of Me-
qotiations for Peace.
RECOGNITION OF UNION
ROCK THAT CAUSED SPLIT
Some Miners Petition Company Not
to Recognize Federation and
Statement Is Issued.

HOJGHTON, Mich, January S.-Et-
forts to end the strike of copper min
ers by Cancellation failed tonight. John
B. Densmore Of the Department of
Labor SO announced after a final effort
to bring the warning interests to-
Sether. He did not hesitate to blame
his failure on the uncompromising at
titude of the mine owners
The rock that split the negotiations
and shattered hopes Of peace was the
question Of recognition of the union.
I'm a nutshell the question is whether
the union men should go back to work
with or without discrimination. The
companies refused to do anything but
discriminate against members of the
union" said Mr. Densmore.

Struggle to Bitter End.

TT means a struggle to the bitter
end said o. n. Hilton. chief of counsel
for the Western Federation of Miners
who has represented President c. H
Meyer here since the latters deporta-
tion. "The outcome is due entirely to
the attitude of the companies. They
wanted everything and would concede
nothing"
The unions last word was an offer to
withdraw the Western Federation from
the field. its place to be taken by union
affiliated with the Michigan State Fed
Grafton of Labor, the United Mines
Workers or some similar body. This
was rejected absolutely by the com
panies.
The employing interest suggested to
Mr.. Densmore that a secret vote of the
men on strike. if properly safeguarded,
would show a majority of them in favor
Of returning to work outside the union
fold. When this was broached to the
federation men there was an immediate
declination to submit the case to any
such test.

Not Formally Announced.
So far as can be learned no formal an
nouncement cards have yet been received
in the city. the first information seeming
to have gone out to close personal
friends of the family in the form OF prf-
yate letters.
Although the prospective BRIDES father
has large interests in this city, he has
never maintained a residence here. He
has an Office, however. In the Wyatt

more tonight He said a full report
Of the efforts put forth would be made

He has set his departure for tomorrow

Statements by mine managers prac-
tically took the same grounds for re-
fusal to treat with the union as that
issued in Boston tonight by the execu-
tive heads of the Calumet and Hecla
Company.
1t was simply case of asking US to
burden ourselves with an organization
whose history is one of violence said
F.. W. Denton of the Copper Range Con-
solidated Company. THE proposals that
reached US were mere subterfuges, did
not go into the merits of the question
and sought to force us to recognize in
directly an organization with which we
will have nothing to do and have never
treated with
