'EUGEN|C Law
BADLY TANGLED
In Wisconsin, Where The
EdiCt Prevails.
AFTER THREE WEEKS TRIAL
New Law Creates Great Con.
fusion Among the Mat
ing Couples.
IL MOTHERED by MRS. HIPKE

Milwaukee. Wis, Jan. 24.-Wis-
consin, the first State to go into eu-
genics by law, is considerably up in
! the air.
The eugenics law, forbidding the
mating of the diseased and unfit.
has, after 30 days trial, been de-
clared unconstitutional. but it is
still "a law, because an appeal has
been taken to the Supreme Court.
SO marriage license clerks and cou-
pies with strong bunch to hitch up
are breathing hard and thinking
deeply over the situation.
The attack upon the law came,
not from the sentimentalists who be-
lieve that Dan Cupid can be safely
trusted, but from the doctors who
dislike the legal limit of SO, named
in the law as the charge for making
physical examinations.
The marriage law was passed
largely through the efforts of Mrs.
G.. A. Hipke of this city. AS the
wife of a physician she had seen
the terrible results of the black
plague upon the children of the dis
ease.
She had a close view. through her
husbands profession, of the final
harvest of the sowing of wild oats
in the second generation. She saw
the babes born blind, children
brought into the world with minds
darkened and vacant, the epileptic,
the insane, the wreckage of good
women.
The law passed by Wisconsin pro-
vided that all men and women must
submit to physical examination
before being permitted to marry
and that they must take to the Ii
cense clerk certificate that they
were free from venereal disease.
The doctors declared that they
could not issue such certificates
without making what is known as
the Wasserman test. which involved
an expensive, time-taking examina-
ton. If they made the test they re-
fused to do it for a SO fee, the figure
named in the law. Also many doe
tors in the State We're not provided
with the means to make the test.
A. A. Peterson tried to get Ii
cense to marry Hattie Schmidt Four
doctors refused to make the test. |
The clerk refused license. Judge |
Eschweller ordered license issued
a certificate. upholding the I
of the doctors that the |
test was necessary and |
deciding that the law was unenforce-
able because few doctors were able
10 make such test.
While the law was in force the
of marriage licenses drop
ped to one-fourth the normal num-
Der. The cause of this was mostly
because men and women would not
submit to an examination.
Many couples went to other States
Tor marriage ceremonies. although
he law contained severe penalties
or such evasions.
Some few contented themselves
