THE SCIENTIFIC CORNER
Organized Society-Human and Sub
Human.
Pv Robert n Harden

In all the realms of nature there
are but three groups of beings that
live in what we are pleased to call
organized society: ants, bees and
apes. To the last named species man
himself belongs.
In this remarkable fact, social
psychologists find the genisis of pri-
Yate property and the reason for or
ganized warfare. Ants, bees and apes
are the only beings that fight wars
and the only ones that own property.
Attempt to pilfer the honey which a
tribe of bees has stored for the Win
ter Season and all the little members
of the colony will swarm out of the
hive, circle about the intruder and at
tack him in organized formation.
Ants, likewise store up bits of food
and will engage in tribe warfare with
members of any other tribe that dare
to modest their supply.
Apes in the tropical forest like
wise live in a social group, love and
respect the other members.
Man, the highest ape and the apex
of the animal world is the chief exam
pie of a social being. He alone of all
animals, has the power of reacting on
and changing his environments, and
like the bees, the ants and his little
siman cousin is primarily a war
rior, just as the bee considers his
hive and his store of honey his pri-
waite property, and the ant-hill is for
hidden territory to all save who have
contributed to its material wealth of
food, just as man has divided up the
planet, fencing it off into farms, town
lots and nations, and prohibiting all
persons save the members of some
particular family, race or nation from
encroaching on it and will according
to the law of self-preservation shoot
looters or foreign invaders.
Students of organized society di-
vide its history into the following
stages: - tribal communism, chattel
slavery, feudalism and capitalism. =
Most ants are living in the state of
tribunal communism. Some tribes
keep slaves and domestic animals, the
great tropical ants of South and Cen

Residents Of Kentucky Village
Terrorized by Receipt OF
Mysterious Warnings.

LEXINGTON, KY, Oct. IA
sensational development in the
poisoning of three children a month
ago at Newport, Ky. came yester-
day afternoon when the Campbell
county grand jury returned an in
dictment containing three counts
against Miss Ida Werner. aunt of
the children, charging her with will
full murder.
DIED AFTER DRINKING MILK.
The woman is forty-two years old
and had lived near the children all
their lives. The murdered children
were Stanley, four months old; Carl.
aged two years. and Shirley. four
years old, children q Charles Will
liams and wife, Of Newport.
The three children Dad been in ex-
cellent health until ls9t September Is,
when they drank mil from a bottle

house by dairyABanl4 The bottle had
beea opened. Az becAme i'll and died
under such cifc6sisst ances that an Of
ficial investigation was demanded.
County Prosecutor Blaine McLaugh-
lin, after going over the case, an
nounced publicly that wiIful murder
had been committed.
The Werner woman testified at the
coroner's inQqest ana told Of the tots
having drunkyshes milk. She dispiayed
no emotion. however. at the recital.
although, Il II alleged. she had been
in the house when the three died.
McL.aughlin and other officers never
stopped working on the case after the
coroner's jury had found the children
were poisoned.
Analysis showed the milk had con-
tanned enough arsenic to kill several
people. Every town within radius
Of fifty miles was then searched for
traces Of persons who bought arsenic
but the prosecutor was unable to find
such a clue. He announced several
days ago, however, that when the
GRIND jury acted sensatiops would
develop.
Friends believe the indicted woman
IL unbalanced mentally. She always
seemed to have a deep affection for
her three little relatives, IL is said.
WARNINGS CAUSED TERROR.
Since the williams children were
murdered several parents of children
in Ludlow, KY, two miles from New
port have been kept in a constant
state Of terror by anonymous notes
telling them their children were to
be poisoned.
The latest warning was received
yesterday by one family, which was
told their child had poisoned candy.
but 1t was knocked from the hand
before the child could eat it. Postal
authorities have been appealed to to
investigate the source of these
threats and the children OF the
threatened families, as well as others
in the town, are under constant
guard.
The williams family was stunned
when IL became known that Miss
Werner had been indicted.

"Is your name Lilly?" he asked.
Miss Garner screamed for help and
started to run. whereupon the negro
grabbed her arm and dragged her
across the road toward the woods. In
an effort to silence her screams he
pointed a revolver at her.
"If you make any more noise I'll
kill YOU" he warned her. ....
