According TO Professor Kroebcr, O. in

make better human beings.
Hcrcdity,'' continued Professor
Nroeber, "is the most misunderstood
subject under discussion today. Ninety
nine per cent Of what is commonly at

"Scientists nave run riot with the
idea Until they fail to distinguish be-
twcrl heredity, which comes from the
insicc, and inheritance, which, like q
fortune, comes FROM the outside.
Civilization IS OF inheritance pure
and simple, not caused in the slightest
degree by heredity, Civilization has
progressed, but man mas stood still
and probably will always remain the
same.
''Alfrcd Russell Wallace was entire
ly right when he said that, IN spite of
the enormous advances of civilization,
human intelligence and capacity have
not increased in thousands Of years.
The cave man of the ice age possessed
the same mental capacities as tho An
glo-SaXon of today, and until this fact
is recognized all history will continue
to be misunderstood.
So far as civilization is concerned,
there is no such thing as an Anglo.

ing has made him an effective poet
and his idiosyncracies a great one, has
fundamentally false ideas of national
psychology, He does not know what a
race is or what civilization means.
Even Galton, founder of the eugen
les movement, and an eminent scientist,
was deludod through overlooking the
Influence Of civilization on man.
"Eugenics appeals to men who are
morally long haired and to the women
who are intellectually short t-haired.

improved human beings than to begin
by improving oneself and training one s
children better, The future of the

"GAG" LAW PROPOSED
TO STOP THE LEAKS
Publicity Given to Recent Executive
Session Of the Senate Arouses
Anger Of Leaders.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-Publicity
given TO recent executive proceedings
in the senate, it developed today, has
so aroused some members Of that body
that resolution has been introduced
and referred to the committee on rules,
directing the committee on foreign rela-
tions TO investigate into the sources
from which the executive information
is obtained
Publication of incidents in the de.
bate on the general arbitration treat

which gave rise to the resolution, which
was introduced in a subsequent eXocu-

diana. During discussion of the reso-
luton, senators were accused of vio-
lating their oaths in revealing execu-
tive affairs, and one senator proposed
that a law be enacted which would
make it a penal offensc for anyone TO
publish facts relating to matters held
secret under the senate rules
The question precipitated lively
debate behind closed doors, many SEN

One senator declared that IN this day
of growing public opinion against Sc

publicity would arouse such wave Of
Indignation that it would he impossi

COMMISSION WILL
Be VERY CAUTIOUS
Tangled Affairs Of "Borax'
Smith Not Likely to Be
Strengthened Out Soon.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 26.-The
tangled affairs of +. NJ (Borax) Smith,
including the United Properties com
pany, a $200,000,OOO New jersey cor.
poration, will not be financed along the
lines proposed by committee OF San
Francisco bankers who have taken
them in hand, until the state railroad
commits ssion has looked into them more
thoroughly. This was made plain to-
day by President Eshjeman of the COM
mission.
The San Francisco Oakland Terminal
railways, popularly known as the Key
route, which is subsidiary Of the
United Properties company, applied for
permission from the commission to issue
fve-year . per cent bonds in the sum
of Sl 100000, to secure 100000 worth
of 7 per cent notes maturing next Sep
tember. The notes were TO be financed
by San Francisco bankers, and the
whole transaction was described as
merely temporary to tide over crisis.
When Commissioner Eshleman found
that these per cent bonds, themselves
to secure an issue of notes, were in turn
TO be secured by underlying issues al
ready marketed, he made it plain that
the commission would not go on record
even temporarily as approving all these
underlying issues.
"When | look over the records Of the
subsidiary companies which comprise
the United Properties merger he said,
81 wonder whether there is anything
in finance that cannot be done.

prove a plan Of rcfnancing which did
not substantially contract the amount
