TO CHECK CRIME.
Legislature Will Be Asked to
Pass Sterilization Law.
Bill Will Be Introduced Thru
Board of Control.

A bill for the sterilization of GRIM
inal insane is being drafted by a COM
mittee comprising DIR. T. c. Biddle,
Judge Whitcomb, DIR. w. S. Lindsey
and Harry c. Bowman of the state
board of control The passage of a
law preventing births from detectives
has been the desire of Doctor Lindsey
for years. and he has been pleading
for such a law at medical meetings
held in Various parts of the state.
At a recent meeting of the Shawnee
County Medical society, Doctor Biddle
urged the cooperation of the society
in fighting for the passage of the bill.
Two years ago an unsuccessful at
tempt was made to pass law along
the same lines. This was shortly after
a meeting of alienists and neurolo-
gists at Chicago attended by Doctor
Lindsey.
Lindsey Kansas Leader.
At that meeting, the danger facing
the human race by the inter-marriage
of detectives and criminal insane was
the paramount subject and steps were
taken to pave the way for sterilization
laws in every state in the Union. Doc
tor Lindsey was empowered to ap-
point a Kansas committee.
Under the proposed bill, detectives
in the state asylum and asylum for
the criminal insane at Lansing will be
placed under observation for a year.
At the end of that time if the super
intendent believes them incurable he
may Sterilize them, both men and wo-
men. Women more than AS years of
age will be free from the operation.

U. S. UP IN The AIR
Hear Nothing From Carranza
on Border Protocol.
Seriously Concerned Over ST.
Ience of Mexican Chief.

Washington Dec. 7.-Serious con-
Germ is shown at the state department
over the continued silence of the Car
rama government with reference to
the protocol with the American gov
eminent which has been in Carranza' S
hands nearly a week. The date set
for the reconvening of the American
Mexican commission is December 8.
What action will be taken in case no
word as to CarranZa's having signed
the agreement or of his intention to
sign it is received before the recon-
vening of the commission, could not
be predicted by Counsellor Polk of the
state department. No information of
any kind that would indicate the de
facto governments attitude toward the
protocol has been received at the state
department.
Admit Q. S. Money Free.
The department has received from
Mexico City copy of the decree just
issued by General Carranza permitting
American currency to be imported
without the payment of duty and au-
thoriZing its circulation in Mexico. The
decree is interpreted to mean that
Mexico has been obliged to find sub
stitute for Mexican currency, which
has so deprecated that its use in COM
mercial and industrial transactions is
hazardous. The navy department is
trying to obtain from Admiral Caper-
ton, commanding the naval force Off
the west coast of Mexico, further in
formation concerning Arnold Vogel,
German consul at Colima.
The department was informed by
Admiral Caperton yesterday of the
kidnapping of the consul and this gov
eminent has no additional information.
The German embassy forwarded to the
foreign office at Berlin the state de-
partment's notification of the kidnap-
ing of Consul Vogel TODAY
Any action on the Vogel case will be
taken by Berlin, it is stated, at the
embassy

UPHOLD DEPORTATIONS
Cites Hague Convention War Rules in
Reply to Belgium Protest

Amsterdam, Dec. 7.-According to
the Nordeusche Allgemine Zeitung of
Berlin, the Spanish embassy in that
city has handed the German govern
ment a protest from the Belgian gov
eminent against the deportations of
Belgians- Commenting on this, the
paper says that the action of the Ger
mans was in conformity with article
43 of The Hague convention.
After denying that there were any
scenes or horrors during the deporta-
tons or that any Belgian had been
forced to do work forbidden by inter-
national law, the newspaper says the
coercion was necessary in the case of
workmen who refused to work. In
regard to the requisition of raw ma
terials it is asserted that this was in
accordance with the needs of the army
and in agreement with article So of
The Hague convention.

GOING UP
Mercury That Makes the Clock Tick
Correctly Advances in Price.

In the pendulum of one of the
standard clocks used by the railroad
as regulators, there are twelve pounds
of mercury, put there to compensate,
by its contraction and expansion, for
the changes in the swing of the pen
dulum owing to changes in tempera-
ture.
Before the European war. the mer-
curry for the clocks cost IS cents a
pound. Now it costs $1.25 a pound,
and for a time the clock makers were
required to pay 50 a pound for quick
silver"
1t is said that there are but three
mercury mines in the world in oper-
alton, and that two of them are in
Europe, and their supplies are I'M
available to the United States. 1t is
also said that the company which
owns the mine in the United States
which is now producing the entire
supply owns still another mine, which
it declines to open as long as it can
get the high prices by limiting the
supply to the output of the one mine.

ANTI-SUFFS MEET
Root Outlines Reason for Op-
posing National Action.
Would Destroy Local Govern
ment in VOteleSS States.

Washington, Dec Former Sena-
tor Root, in a paper read here today
at the opening session of the anti-suf-
frage convention, outlined his reasons
for opposition to the proposed consti-
tutional amendment to enfranchise
women.
Il am against having the constitu-
ton Of the United States amended so
as to impose woman suffrage on the
states which do not wish for it, not
merely or chief because my judgment
does not approve of women suffra ge,
but for a much more vital reason -
said Mr.. Roots paper. 1T is a de-
struction of the right of self gov
eminent and a subsection of the peo-
pie of New York to government of
others. Having failed to secure the
assent to woman suffrage of such
states as South Dakota. and West Vir-
ginia and Ohio and New York and
Pennsylvania, the advocates of woman
suffrage now seek to compel such
states to accept it against their will
and to compel them to carry on their
local government and select their rep
resentatives in the national govern
ment in conformity to the opinions of
people of other states who are in favor
of woman suffrage. l think such an
attempt is contrary to the principle of
liberty upon which the Union was es-
tablished and without which it cannot
endure. Without the right of local
self government we should lose the
better part of our liberty
More Power Thru Home
In her keynote address, opening to-
day the national suffrage convention,
Mrs. Arthur NJ. Dodge of New York,
president of the National Association
Opposed to Woman Suffrage, said
In protesting against the imposi-
ton of political duties on women, we
know we voice the feelings of the ma
jority of the women of the United
States. After siXty-five years of or
ganized effort, woman suffrage is en-
tirely mistaken. We believe that
woman has more power in uplifting
civilization thru the home than man
thru his vote"
