Surgeons Take Steps
to Freeze Out 'Quacks'

NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-Each fellow
of the new American College of
Surgeons, 1850 of whom were elected
by the Board of Regents at meet
ing here yesterday, must sign a
pledge. This pledge follows: ITO
avoid the sins of selfishness; to shun
unwarranted publicity, dishonest
money-seeking and commerciahsm
as disgraceful TO our profession; to
refuse utterly all secret money trades
with consultants and practitioners;
to teach the patient his financial duty
to the physician and to urge the
practitioner to obtain his reward
from the patient openly"
The objects of the college, it was
said, were to raise the standards of
surgery in this country, so that only
competent men shall be allowed Z
practise To accomplish this the
Board of Regents will urge legis-
lation requiring supplementary de-
gree as a requisite TO practise sur
gerry. This degree II is planned to
grant to graduates o. recognized COL
leges by the medical school to be
established by the regents.

Says Tyros Are Trying
to Regulate Utilities

HOBOKEN. Jan. 10.-Dr. Alexander
C. Humphreys. president of Stevens
Institute of Technology, in Hoboken,
started off technical conference on
the engineers part in the regulation
OF public utilities in the institute au-
ditorium yesterday afternoon by con-
tending that the personnel of public
service commissions in general is far
from satisfactory. He said the COM
missions would be more equitable,
judicial and competent If the major
ity of the members were lawyers and
engineers.
The best results, he said, can be OBJ
tanned when men technically trained
in all branches of public utilities have
their full share in the formulation
of regulatory laws and the admins
tration and enforcement of these
laws. The conference was part of
convention of Stevens men and 1t at
tracted a goodly gathering of engi-
neers, many of much distinction.

PERSONAL TURN TO
ANTITRUST BILLS
Leave No "DebatabIe Ground
or "RuIe of Reason" to Save
LaW-Breakers.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-A SUBJ
committee of the House committee on
the judiciary has prepared three bills
which will be presented to the full
committee next Monday as an en-
bodiment of the administration an
THRUST legislative pragram.
The full committee is expected to
adopt these bills, and after a con-
ference with President Wilson. they
will go to the House for immediate
action.
The introduction of the bills is ex-
pected to follow Immediately Presi-
dent Wilson's message, which he is
scheduled to read soon after he re-
turns to Washington.
The bills were written with the
purpose of defining the "debatable
ground" around the Sherman anti
trust act without In any way amend
ing the statute. They are expected
to carry out the Presidents plans
The three great objects of the bills
are:
1. To do away with the community
of interests that has controlled the
commerce of the nation and to rebuild
business, whereby the individual will
be guaranteed defense of his affairs
from encroachment by any great
power.
2. To make directors of every cor
poration personally responsible be-
fore the courts for any infraction of
the law, and to make Jail sentences
the price of Illegal corporate activi-
ties.
8. To vest with the individual power
to bring suits against any corpora
tinr fhot no avadad tho law This
power has been exercised solely by
the attorney general heretofore.
The first bill prohibits the continu-
ance of the system of interlockine
directorates, which has frequently
been charged as one of the great in
strumentalities of monopolization.
The second bill prohibits trade
agreements and rebates of all sorts
1t provides that goods shall be sold
to all dealers at the same price and
under the same terms, allowing for
the difference in cost of selling and
transportation caused by remoteness
from the market.
1t specifically prohibits holding
companies of any sort unless the ac-
QUESTION of stock arises in the natu-
raj enlargement of the business.
The aggrieved individual upon his
own initiative may recover three
times the amount of the damage he
has sustained in the event that he
may have been the object of oppres-
sion. He may sue and enjoin cor
pora ton If he discovers that he is to
be the object of such an attack. Upon
proof of his allegations the district
attorney must. lay the case before
grand jury, and the directors of the
offending corporation shall be found
guilty and sentenced to Jail.

Seven Killed, SO Wounded
in Diamond Mine Outbreak

JAGERSFONTEIN. Union of South
Africa, Jan. 10.-Seven native laborers
in the diamond mines We're killed and
thirty-six wounded in the course of
an outbreak today. A few whites also
received injuries, but the trouble had
no connection whatever with the
strike of railway men. 1t arose in a
dispute about the death of a Basu,
which was said to have resulted from
the kick of white overseer.
The whites were driven by the ma
tiyes in tunnel of a mine. where
they defended themselves. In the
meantime the natives destroyed the
huts in their compound.
A body of 500 armed whites then
came onto the scene and dispersed
the natives after sharp fight.
The town is now under the control
of detachments of armed farmers
from the surrounding country, who
are supported by small force of
regular troops.

AUTO WA|TSFOR
THIEVES IN HOUSE
Paterson Silk Manufacturer
VainIy Pursues Them and
His So, 900 JeweIry.
Especial to the Newark start

PATERSON, Jan. 1o--William B.
Arnold, a wealthy silk manufacturer,
with two policemen, gave chase in his
6o-horsepower automobile after two
BURGERS who entered the Arnold home
at 25S Derrom avenue last night and
made off with $4,000 worth of diamonds
and jewellery. The thieves made good
their escape.
The Arnold residence is situated
near Eastside Park. Mr.. Arnold re-
turned home shortly before o'clock
The family were sitting down to din
ner when Mr.. Arnold's daughter said
she felt draft. An investigation
showed a window on the second floor
was open. Miss Arnold, who had gone
upstairs, heard q noise in one of the
bedrooms. She ran downstairs and
informed her father that iatruders
were at work.
M. Arnold started after his revolver.
He found the door of his room locked
from the inside. He then hurried to
a telephone to notify the police. While
so doing the intruders took alarm.
They used ladder which had been
raised to the side of the house.
The thieves jumped in an automo-
bile they had in waiting and started
at breakneck speed for Bergen coun-
ty. Policemen were on the scene in
a few minutes. Mr.. Arnold was wait
ing for them in his automobile. The
chase followed, Mr.. Arnold at the
wheel and the two policemen with
drawn revolvers. Hackensack and
several small towns In Bergen county
were visited but to no avail.
Investigation of the house showed
that the bedrooms had been rausacked
by the thieves, who got away with
$40 in cash besides the jewellery.

HUMAN PEDIGREE
REGISTRY URGED
Doctor Says Eugenics Would
Make Thoroughbreds in
Four Generations.

BATTLE CREEK, Mich, Jan. TO-
A eugenics registry office for the pur-
pose of developing race of human
thoroughbreds was one of the sug-
gestions of DIR. ]. II. Kellogg, of
Battle Creek, speaking today at the
National Conference for Race Better
ment.
1T only takes four generations to
make a thoroughbred when the prin-
ciples of eugenics have a fair chance
TO operate" said DR.. Kellogg 1--WE
have registers for horses, cattle, sheep,
pigs and even cats and dogs. If a
lady wishes to establish the standing
of her pet poodle she can do SO by
appealing to an official record and the
puny canine may lift it's head above
It's fellows as q born aristocrat, but
nowhere ON earth, as far as | know,
is there to be found a registry for
human thoroughbreds.
THE hope is entertained by the
members of this conference that one
of the results of the meeting may be
the establishment of such a registry.
Indeed, 1t seems the time has fully
come when a eugenics registry office
should be established in which may
be recorded the names of infants who
are born under eugenic conditions
and perhaps also the names of per-
sons who in person and pedigree are
able to measure UP to eugenic stand
ards"
DIR. kellogg prefaeed his plea for a
eugenic registry with resume of the
deteriorating influences now actively
at work-such as increasing sanity,
Increasing crime, high infant mortality
and decreased life expectancy. He
emphasized the Importance of pure
blood rather than blue blood. Some
of his recommendation for race bet
terment are greater activity of health
officials; health education in the pub
lie schools; biologic surveys of every
community; periodical medical exam
nation; health certificates before
marriage; sterilization of detectives
and, most important of all, the estab-
llshment of eugenics registers.
