DROP DISARMAMENT
FOR THIS SESSION.

WASHINGTON. May 4.-PrOp0-
sails for international disarmament
are to be delayed for the present in
the house under a decision understood
to have been reached today by Re
publican house leaders. This is said
to square with the desire of President
Harding not to have the disarmament
question agitated in congress in the
present state of international rela-
tiOnS.
Various suggestions for disarma-
ment declaration either i'm the naval
appropriation bill or as q separate
measure have been put forward in
the house and senate. but their spOn-
sOrs are expected to receive no help
from the Republican managers in
urging immediate action.

JUDGE WILLIAM II. MooRE.s i'm

(UDGE WILLIAM II. MOORE'S i'm
ported English hackney stallion
- Marlboro Is one of those rare
horses that biological sharps describe as
pure dominant for bay. meaning that
he never gets a chestnut colt. The agri-
cultural college professors might call him
homozygqua q to color, which Il their
way of saying that In him coat color is
fixed or stable character received in
dominant form from both his parents
and transmitted TO all his offspring
Marlboro not only has got no chestnut
colts, but has got all bays or browns
like himself. The only ones that could
possibly be called exceptions, Judge
Moore says. are the foals of a gray mare
which We're sprinkled with gray hairs.
Up to date breeders are beginning to
pay attention to horses that stamp their
OWN color on all their offspring in this
way. If a sire can thus control color,
they say, there is n chance that he may
be dominant also in transmitting other
characters like speed In the runner or
the trotter. or like form and action in
the hackney,
Marlboro seems to confirm this theory
No other sire in the history OF the breed
ever made such n record at his age
IA years. Though few in numbers, his
onsprng nave swept everything before
them in recent years at the National
Horse Show and other leading American
shows. Their star performance how
ever, was IN winning the 81. 900 F'our-in-
Hand Challenge Cup offered by William
du Pont Cor the best team of registered
hackney bred by the exhibitor With
fours b! Marlboro Judge Moore won the
competition three years in succession.
showing eight different horses by the
same size and never the same team twice
Like all bay horses that get no chest
nut colts, Marlboro inherited his color
from both his sire Matthias, and his
dam. Dairy Maid. Matthias was by the
bay horse Grand Fashion H., out of the
chestnut mare Ophelia, yet he was a.
most a pure dominant for bay, chestnut
foals by him having been very few
Clarence Ii. Mackay's Land o. Burns is
one of the few. Dairy Maid was by
Dart bay, from Rachel, also bay, and
Marlboro's dam seems TO have produced
no chestnut foals.
Among thoroughbred racehorses there
are some noteworthy examples of great
sires that controlled color as well as
speed. Tho Godolphin Arabian was one
of them. He got Several gray colts. and
two that We're described in the old rae

inss calendars as duns, but no chestnuts.
Out Of forty-seven OF known color forty
one were bays or browns, like their sire
No one knows anything about the sire
or dam OF the Godophn horse, but from
, the color Of his offspring 1t is q safe in
ference that both were bay or brown.
Highhyer unbeaten himself and sire of
40 winners, was another such horse.
though his reputed daughter. Little
Laura. has been registered as chestnut.
Highfyer's dam was by the Godolphiu
Arabian.
Among modern thoroughbreds st.
Simon is the most conspicuous example
of the pure dominant for bay. This
great progenitor invariably stamped out
the chestnut color in his immediate Off
spring, while at least two of his promi-
nent sons-Desmond ana st. Florian--
and six of his grandsons have demon
strated the same power
In the evolution of the breed of trot-
ting horses Rysdyk's Hambletonian was
sthe first great sire, and though he got
1885 foals, not one of them was a chest
nut. He seems to have inherited his
power in this respect from his maternal
grandsire. the imported English hackney
Bellfounder, bay that meyer got n
chestnut colt. Hambletonian's greatest
were apparently pure dominants for bay.
The latter got 100 trotters and PAGERS
that earned records of 2: 80 or better.
with no chestnuts among them. George
Wilkes is credited with SO in the list,
one of which. Blondine. PAN. is de-
scribed as chestnut. but her paternity is
not fully established, as her breeder is
unknown. Bingen. 2:06& the famous
grandson OF Electioneer. left no chest
nuts among his immediate offspring,
and his noted son Bingara seems to be
equally potent in the control of color.
While ii is thus noticeable that some
of the greatest sires among the runners
and trotters have controlled the color OF
their offspring to the extent OF stamping
out chestnut, there are other great sires
that seemed to have no control of color
Peter the Great 2:07H. in many re-
spects the most remarkable sire of
trotters ever known. Is one OF them.

chestnut ancestor Is four generations
away, he gets many chestnut colts.
