Plan for Closer
Relation of Techs.

Pitsburg, Pa. Feb. 25.-Dr. r. c.
MacLaurin president of the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology, who
was invited to confer with committees
from the Carnegie Institute of Tech
nology and the University of Pittsburg,
on plan for closer union of the in
stitutions, was compelled to return to
Boston early today and only informal
discussions of ethe proposed chang
took place. Two plans are proposed,
one by which the engineering depart
ment of the university will be trans
ferred to the Carnegie Institution and
another by which students in the en-
gireering departments of either may
have studies in both. No statement
was given out by any of the parties
to the conference, but it was under
stood that Mr. MacLaurin carefully
outlined his ideas and gave valuable
suggestions.
IF the two schools seem favorable
to the union, may return to assist
in whatever way | am able in formu-
lating plans like those which united
the engineering courses of Harvard
and Boston Tech said DR. Mac
Laurin.

Peroxide of Hy=
drogen Kills Hens.

Rochester, n. Y, Feb. 25-John b.
Cramer, president of the Penn Yam
Board of Education. had a fine flock
of chickens which he was desirous OF
selling. He was told by a prospective
purchaser, who looked at some OF the
eggs that the eggs were not white
enough for the New York market, to
which he was shipping.
A friend of Mr. Cramer advised him
that small doses of peroxide of hydro
gen fed in water or mash would aid
his hens to produce eggs of the prop
er degree of whiteness. He tried the
experiment and thought the eggs We're
growing whittier, but not fast enough
to suit him. He then increased the
doses His hens soon stopped laying
eggs of, any color. and week ago one
of them died. Today all that is left of
his flock of 80 is one old rooster which
Mr.. Cramer would like to give away
TO some worthy person.

CONSUL GARRETT ON
WAY TO INVESTIGATE
VERCARA HANGING.

Laredo, Texas, Feb. 25.-The ranching
country along this portion of the Texas
border tonight awaited with intense ex
element details of the hanging by Mexi-
can Federals of Clemente Vergara. the
Texas ranchman whose execution was
officially confirmed today in messages to
Consul Garrett at Nuevo Laredo.
Consul Garrett Immediately left for Hi
dalgo near. where Vergara's s body was
said to have been left hanging, to ar
range for its disposition and begin an in
vestigation Late tonight no word had
come from him that would explain the
reason for the long interval between Yer
gara's death and the time the news be-
came public, or the contradictory atti-
tudes of the Mexican Federal authorities
who promised his release and those who
executed him.
Federals at Nuevo Laredo made nc
comment today nor would they admit
that Vergara had been executed by Fed
erals 1t was pointed out by those in
touch with the border situation, howev-
er, that this faction controls the terrific
ry where he met his death and that his
frequently expressed complaints which
are said to have led to his death, had
been that Federals were stealing his
horses.
Discussion here today of Vergara s
death showed much bitterness but no
outbreak was feared.

DECLARES HERED|TY
IMPORTANT PHASE
OF SOCIETY LIFE.

Princeton, \. j., Feb 5.-Edwin Grant
Conklin head of the department of BIZ
ology in Princeton University, in lee
ture today declared that the time has
come when society must take account OF
the immense importance of heredity in
the development of man.
Hitherto all the attention OF society
has been fixed on education and ENVIRON
ment." he said Hereafter more atten-
ton must be given to improvements OF
heredity or eugenics'
AT the present rate of reproduction,
Prof. Conklin said, the more highly edu-
Gated classes would be unknown within
a period of 50 years. Eugenics is right,
he continued, in insisting that the higher
classes pay more attention to reproduc-
ton. The lower classes are increasing
In number and the outcome of it will be
that the higher classes will be swallowed
up by the lower, he said
Prof Conklin decried the feminist
movement of today because 1t showed un-
mistakeable signs of women escaping the
duty of motherhood, sign which means
degeneration of the race in time, he said.
