Colored People held in Baltimore. The
subject assigned to Professor Loeb
was "Heredity and Racial lnieriOrity.'
Here are Il few extracts from the adj
the occasions:
The modern work on heredity has
shown that hereditary characters are

The formation of purposes in life is
a serious thing. We ought to form
purposes now that will satisfy us

that reach no farther than the little

that extend beyond the fleeing period
appointed to us in this life and that

Income Following Deficit in 1907.
Rental Income

Wireless telesraphy seems to he grow
ing in popularity in this country. if the
statistics of the business in 1912, as COM
pared with 1907. are to be taken as a cri-
terror. From net deficit in 1907. the
business as a whole in 1912 showed a net
income, according to statistics just issued
by the bureau Of the census. The gross
income increased S582,367 or .27 per cent
over 1907.
"A great part of this income. it is de-
clarcd. was the rental of wireless APP
paratus for ship equipment. The great
decrease in assets-S22, 5S1 100, or IS )

for separation of the railroad and its sub
sidiary transportation lines Yesterday
with 7. ". Gregory and Jesse G. Adkins,
attorneys for the Department of Justice.
1t was the first appearance here of repre-
sentatives of the New Haven system
since Chairman Elliott agreed to meet
the administration demands for a COM
riete reorganization several weeks ago.
Proposals made by the New Haven
lawyers were listened to carefully. The
department representatives made it plain
about the promised reorganization in as
short time possible. Attorney Cen
eral McReynolds is said to feel It is about
time the road brought its plans to light.
The conference was largely devoted to
the question of the disposition of the
Boston and Maine stock held by the New
Haven il is understood II is proba Bile
that the first suggestion of the road that
this stock be placed in the hands of
trustees. the road run by them and the
stock gradually disposed of to others

accepted.
While Mr.. Gregory and Mr.. Adkins in
sisted upon more speed. il was pointed
out that the Department of Justice did
not intend to drive the New Haven i'm
mediately into the market with securi-
ties which it might find difficult to get
rid of. The plan for a trusteeship for
the Boston and Maine may be followed
when the disposition of the trolleys and
outside steamship lines is taken up. The
retention of the so-called sound lines by
the New Haven was left, tempora rily, at
least to the interstate commerce conn
