were met with excuses. Finally he ad-

EUCENICS TO RULE
RACE PROPAGATION
Prof. Conklin Would SubStl-
tute Artificial for Nat
ural Selection.
tpv telegraph 70 The Tribune ]

Princeton. n. j., April s.-With the
assertion that society Is making
mistake IN failing to substitute inteih-
gent artificial selection for natural sc
lection in the propagation OF the human
race" Professor Edwin Grant ConKlih'
~ princeton University, one of the
foremost biologists OF the world Ola not
n,nce words to-day in declaring MS
firm belief in eugenics.
His defence Of eugenics in ite most
o,,ren,e form was elaborated in the
9Th lecture Of his series on "Heredlty
and Environment in the Development
Of Man." His special topic for to-day
WAS Control Of Heredity Eugenics.
While it is not his belief that breed
ing men like animals is practlcaoie
for immediate adoption, he maintains
that it would be desirable. He said
in part:
"There is every evidence that man
has evolved from natural or VIII
state. All that man now ls ne mas
como to be without conscious human
guidance OF heredity, and the question
may well be asked, Is It possible 10
improve on tho method OF human
evolution?
"The method Of evolution In the past
has been the elimination OF the unft;
only in the case OF civilized man are
the most UNIT as we'll as the most III
preserved and given equal opportunl-
ties of leaving offspring. The result
is that there has been no Improvement
in heredity.
"The mistake has been not in pre-
serving the weak and incompetent, Tor
civilized man could not well do other
wise, but in failing TO substitute IN
telligent artificial selection for natural
selection in the propagation or the
race. In perpetuating the worst lines
and eliminating the best.
'If a superior power would deal With
man as man deals with domestic ami
mails. no doubt great Improvement
could be effected in the human breed.
Society is I'm some respects such
power and it Is already undertaking
TO limit the reproduction of those VINO
are socially most unfit
1t will some day come to put pre-
MUM upon tho reproduction of its
best elements, instead Of discouraging
or retarding them, as at present. III
will some day come TO recognize tue
firtherance Of human evolution as a
supreme ethical obligation. as the high
est religious duty OF mankind"

man from Atlanta who wes passen-
ger on steamer on which Burns was
returning from Europe. The young
man expressed his regret that Burns
had not become interested I'm the case
before the arrest and conviction OF
Frank. Through him Burns read in
newspapers of the trial and concluded,
from the accounts he saw, that Frank
was guilty. Later, while he was In
Key West, three citizens Of Atlanta,
including two personal friends OF
Frank, saw the detective and asked
him to undertake an investigation OF
the case.
Burns said ne refused at first on the
ground that If Frank were guilty his
investigation and final conclusion to
that effect could only hurt the defend
ant. while if the invest igation tended
to throw doubt of guilt upon him IT
might serve TO thwart justice. Franks
friends here declared that they be-
lieyed he had not received fair trial.
that he was innocent Of the crime, but
that if guilty they wanted indisputsble
evidence of his guilt.
Burns then took the case. His in
vestieations soon showed him, he said
first. that public clamor after a crime
wave" had resulted in the police MAX
ing extraordinary efforts TO adduce
evidence tending TO convict Frank,
and, second, that a report making out
Frank a man Of abnormal character
istics was commonly circulated through
the city, putting public opinion strong
~ against him.
His Inquiries then convinced Burns
that Frank was a perfectly normal
man. On the other hand, the testi-
mony Of physicians was 10 the effect
that the one who attacked Mary Pha-
gan was abnormal.
Burns interviewed many Of the wit
nesses who testified in the case. NJ

investigation he said he was convinced
that he knew the murderer.
There was no mystery about the
murder of Mary Phagan," said Burns
THE tracks OF the murderer were

speculation as to what would be the ultl-

The opinion was expressed on all sides
that the loss Of Torreon was blow from
