New York, June 24.-Ralph Peters,

"Of course. these wagon carriers can
do it, and some OF the trolley compan-

The public would be down on us in

ECHO SAVES SHIP FROM
COLLISION WITH ICEBERG

New York June 24.-Captain Weeks
of the British freighter Isle Null
which has just arrived in port from
Lisbon. told today how an echo saved
his ship from collision with an ice
berg.
Just after midnight, June l6, in fog
gy weather off the Newfoundland
banks, Captain Weeks sounded the
usual second blast on the foghorn
and thought he heard another steamer
reply. He stopped his ship and after
waiting minute. he blew again. This
time he caught "a signal from star
board and apparently very close.
Realizing that 1t must be either the
whistle of another steamer he had
heard. or the echo of his own blast
thrown back by a big iceberg close by,
Captain Weeks sounded six alternate
long and short blasts, which were re-
turned just as he gave them. That
decided him to steer at once to the

EUCENICS LAWS
ARE RID!CULED
BY SCIENTIST
Speaker Declares They will Do
More Harm Than Good g

New York. June 24.-All the So
called eugenic laws like that of Wis
consin, requiring a clean bill Of health
before a marriage license is issued
which was upheld by the Supreme
Court of that State 2 few days ago
were called ridiculous at the closing
meeting of the Eugenics Research AS
sociation at Schermerholn Hall, Col
umbia University, by DIR. Charles B
Davenport of the Carnegie Institute OF
WASHINGTON, who has charge of the
Station for Experimental Evolution al
Cold Spring Harbor, l.. l. He said that
the well-meaniug attempts OF lcgisla
tors TO force physical betterment OF
the human race were likely, at the
present stage OF science, to do more
harm than good.
Before it's second annual meeting ad-
iourned the association received news

Most of them are useless. Nowadays,
when people get an idea about a thing
they become enthusiastic and rush to
pass laws before they know what they
are doing. 1t must be understood that
there are three stages of this problem
Investigation, education and legisla-
ton.
"We are now investigating, and we
must admit that we know very little Of
the laws governing heredity and fee

ming to develop these subjects. There
is a seething mass of information, but
pretty soon We will come out of this
with some very clear ideas, and then
people will get to known conditions
and how To remedy them. Finally
when these matters are put before the
public, we can pass laws that will be
sensible"

m'chIgan Statue Limiting Cam

byFederal Regulation
HOUSE COMMITTEES FINDING
Rep. Mapes, Member of Election
Committee, Makes Disputed
Point Clear

washington, June 2i.-Just how
much a candidate in Michigan for the
united States senate or house of rep
resentatives may spend in a campaign
under the corrupt practices acts. was
brought out by Congressman Carl T.
AGpes in a debate in the house. This
is question somewhat mooted among
Michigan congressman. Congressman
Lindquist especially has attempted To
get expert advice on the subject, and
mas obtained various opinions.
The confusion comes from the fact
that there is a federal as well as n
Michigan law on the subject. The
federal law provides that no candidate
shall give, contribute, expend, use. or
promise, or cause TO be given, etc"
more than he can give under the laws
OF his state. This is followed by a
proviso that candidate shall not
spend more than $4,000 in his cam
paign for nomination and election.
There is an apparent discrepancy be-
tween these provisions and the law of
Michigan which provides that can
didate cannot spend more than one
fourth OF his first years salary. This
in the case OF senators and represen-
tatives would be $1,S75.
Mr.. Mapes as a member of the COM
mittee on election of president, vice
president and members of congress
has made some study of this ques-
tion. He explained i'm the house that
where a state had no law on the sub
ject candidate could spend as high
as $1,000. Where a state has law
still further limiting campaign ex-
penses, however, the state law super
cedes the federal law.

BUTTE IS QUIET
AFTER NIGHT OF
Wild DISORDER
All Mines Working and no Further
Trouble Anticipated

Butte, Mont, June 24.-Butte was
quiet today, following last nights fresh
outbreak Of violence, and all mines are
working practically full-handed Nc
further trouble is anticipated, although
the feeling between the two factions
of the Butte Miners union is still
tense. Sheriff Drscoll and his depu-
ties got control of the situation late
last night and President NJ. Mcdonald
of the new union organization pre-
vailed upon his followers to desist from
further attacks on federation proper
ty or officials.
Violence between the factions broke
out anew last night. Three men were
shot, one of them being killed, by a
fusillade fired by deputy sheriffs in
clearing the union hall.
Charles II. Meyer. president of the
Western Federation Of Miners, and
other officers of the union. who were
to address peace" meeting in the
hall, fled through the rear door when
the shooting began. They are said to
have left the city for fear of attacks
by the seceders from the union, who
recently revolted against special as
sessments for the Michigan copper
mine strike and the use of card sys-
TEN.
Many armed deputies were at the
hall last night TO preserve order at a
meeting called TO outline plans for
settling the differences between the
factions. Many of the seceders. who
have planned to organize a new union
under the auspices Of the Industrial
Workers Of the World, were i'm and
around the miners headquarters.
The insurgents started to storm the
hall according to Sheriff Driscoll's
deputies stationed there, and several
shots were fired in the air to drive the
besiegers back. The impetus of the
rush was so great that the crowd came
on i'm spite of the warning shots.
Spectator Shot Dead.
More shots were fired and Ernest
Noy, travelling inspector for the Butte

only an onlooker \ bullet passed

No Adjournment Until the Anti.
Trust Measures Are Put
Through
REPUBLICANS GET WARNING
Told II viii Be Useless to Attempt
the Postponement of
Legislation

Washington. June 24.-The Senate
has begun work on antitrust les, sll
tion.
No one i'm the Senate is ready tt
predict when the program will he I'm
ished, or in what shape 1t will go to
the White House for the presidents
signature. Leaders of both parties are
convinced, however, that the president
ntonds to see that Congress stays here
until the antitrust work is done, and,
while there IL the same old desire to
get away. there are not many who
think adjournment possible until the
trust bills are passed.
An effort may he made during the
week to aid in expediting these bills
through the Senate. Democratic lead
ers are anxious to have the party ge.
together in conference and determine
its line OF action before the measures
are far on their way.
Notice to Republicans.
Many Democrats believe that q con-
ference will serve to give notice to Re-
publlcans that it will be useless for
them TO struggle against the Demo-
cratic determination to enact its own
forms Of trust legislation, and that
this attitude will aid in bringing about
adjournment late in July or early in
August.
While the Senate is dealing with the
antl-trust bills and at odd hours put
ting through the few remaining appro-
prlatlon bills, the House will be busy
with the sundry. civil and deficiency
appropriation bills.
House leaders expect to speed up the
appropriation bills so as to dispose Of
the remaining two, the pending supdry
civil bin and the general deficiency,
soon to be reported, before the end o
the fiscal year June 80. In carrying
this policy. there are to be night ses-
slons Of the House.
In the Senate, however, these bills
will be delayed beyond the beginins
of the new year to which they apply.
and it will be necessary to pass joint
resolution to extend the current appro
pration bills over such periods as may
hc unplovlded for by reason of ti.s
failure to pass the new supply meas
ures.
