STERILIZATION

Report to Committee for In

The sterilization of criminals, to pre-
vent an increase in criminality, was
not given TIE support of the American
Institute Of Criminal Law and Crimi-
nology at its closing session in the small
bah room Of the New Willard today.
The report of the committee, which had
been expected to create vigorous dis
cussion by criminologists who desired
the organization to record its approval
Of medical operations on criminals, was
given by DIR. William c. White. super
intendent of the Government Hospital
for the Insane, in the absence of Joel
D. Hunter, of Chicago, the chairman.
Charles A. Boston, of New York city.
and the Rev. John Meloy, professor
Of moral theology at the Catholic Uni
versty favored the continuance OF the
committee for further investigation OF
the subject. but opposed the institute
taking action at this time for the rea-
son that IT had not been determined by
scientists that criminality is heredit-
able because the effects of the
operi ION the system were likewise
under. rfnined.
The report itself stated that the COM
mittee members We're unanimous that
there had not been as yet any
thorough scientific and intensive re-
search to determine the consequential
advantages or disadvantages to the in
dividuals who are sterilized." An ap-

WILSON BORROWS
EYE TO SIGN BILL

If President Wilson'S signature
to the war tax bill lacks in
Wilsonesque construction, it
is because the President used
other than his own "eyes"
in affixing his name to the
measure. He had to bor-
row Senator Huges' lamps"
said one Senator, lapsing in
the parlance of the street.
The solon meant that the Pres
ident was forced to borrow
the New Jersey statesman's
eyeglasses to sign the bill.
The President dashed in from
the golf course to the Capt.
tol and hastened to the Pres
ident's room. Then realized
that he was without glasses.
Senator Hughes loaned the
Chief Executive his "eyes"
of the horned, tortoise-shell,
wide ribboned variety.

tary board has been notified of the
appearance Of a fatal disease known
as anthrax in a herd of horses near
Esmond. 1t was thought that the
state had been rid of the disease COM
pletely, and this case has brought
surprise. The germs live for years
and there IL no way of telling when
or where it may appear. The vet
erinarian who made the post norton
examination, as well as the o of
the owner of the horses, became in
fected and it was through the ex-
pert treatment of the Mayos at
Rochester that their lives were
saved. The livestock board has or
dered that the floors of the barn at
this farm be torn up and burned, and
that the barn be thoroughly d~isinfect-

 Gen Mills points out that his criti- .cfsIn is entirely imperSonaI and is made flor the sole purpose of setting. forth an accurate statement of exist ing conditions vt tn the view and in the hope of leading to a needed re- form
 One method of providing this reform is to found, in Gen. Mills opinion in the passage of a bill for the conpensa- ton of the militia by the federal gov ernment.
 Gen. Mills reiterates his plea for the creation of militia reserves, pointing out the inevitable delay that would hamper the country in the event of a war in obtaining recruits.
