FINDS X-RAY CHANGES SEX
OF UNBORN INSECT LIFE
Union College Professor Expects No Practical Applica
ton in Transmission of Hereditary characteristics
but Foresees Gain to Therapeutics

SCHENECTADY, June ASSOCIATED
Press) .-Announcement that ne had
succeeded in changing the sex of unborn
banana flies and otherwise altering their
hereditary characteristics by use of the
X-ray was made by James w. Mavor,
professor of zoology at Union College. in
a commencement week address to-day
before alumni.
While he did not predict any practical
application of his discoveries in altering
the transmission of hereditary charac-
teristics in animals or plants. Prof
Mavor said he did expect they would be
of great help in making "a sound foun-
dation for the therapeutic use of X
rays"
1T is of more than academic interest
to prove that the mechanism of heredity
can be modified by an external agent
such as X-rays," he said. although
the whole animal was exposed to the
rays while the eggs were in the mother
this striking and far reaching effect on
the inheritance of the offspring was
produced without apparently affecting
the body of the mother herself in any
way"
The banana fly was selected for the
experiments, he explained, because the
great mass of data concerning its
hereditary characteristics already in
hand made it possible to check accu-
rately any alterations effected by the
X-ray.
Among the hundreds of mutations
which have been found by those expert
menting with the fruit fly he con-

DRY RAIDING SQUAD
DESCENDS ON HOTEL
Enforcement Chief Won't Say
Whether Associations Com
plant Is to Blame.

On a search warrant issued by United
Prohibition Agents Roffman, Mccain
and Steffano raided the Hotel Nomis at
$50 West 125th street yesterday after
noon and seized three cases Of what
they declared to be real beer and a
dozen one ounce bottles of whisky which
were behind the bar of the hotel. A sum-
mons was served on John c. Armstrong,
who said he had been operating the bar
only for the last three weeks.
Prohibition Enforcement Chief Ralph
Day refused to say whether this raid on
the hotel was In any way connected
with the fact that the Hotel Mems Asso-
citation had made a complaint to the
President about laxity of enforcement in
this city,
Early yesterday several patrolmen In
rowboat engaged in a fruitless chase
of supposed rum schooner near Throggs
Neck. On land the lubbers were more
successful and followed seven motor
trucks with New Jersey licenses that
started from a nearby landing. At the
"Interborough Drug Company" 4S9 Ire
mont avenue, where the trucks drew up,
the agents arrested Max Weiss, who
lives there, when cache of 600 cases OF
whisky. 100 cases of champagne, 10 bar
rels of whisky and five drums of alcohol,
representing an aggregate bootlegging
valuation of about 100000, was found.
Another man, perhaps surprised Gus
toner, slid down a rope from a rear
window and made off.
Officials of the New Jersey Wholesale
Drug Company Of Newark were yester-
day notified by Charles Fl. Brown, Fed
eral Prohibition Director, to appear be-
fore him next Friday and show cause
why he should not revoke their permits
for engaging in the liquor traffic SINH
lar notice was sent to the Federal Drug
Company, also of Newark.
A merry anti-prohibition riot occurred
late Thursday night in Sayreville, N. J..
when more than 800 persons mobbed
the policemen who arrested Steve
Strauck, Michael CIVIL and his wife,
Fanny, and Stephen Wallace, in Strauk 8
home at McCarthys Corners. The
crowd was made up almost entirely Of
foreigners. and they tore the clothes
from the policemen as they emerged
from the house with the prisoners
Strauk made his escape, but the rest
sponded to a hurry call for help.
Strauk was later arrested in the woods
nearby and charged with violation Of
the Volstead act and with having a still
and a barrel of whisky in his home
Wallace was charged with assault and
battery upon his wife and resisting an
officer. and the Gzwils with aiding and
abetting the others to resist arrest.

tinued, there are some. the inheritance
OF which is related to sex. For ex-
ample, il a white-eyed female fruit
fly (white eye is a mutation) is mated
with an ordinary red-eyed male IN
dividual of the same species all the
sons will be white-eyed like their
mother, and all the daughters will be
red-eyed like their father On the
other hand. If a red-eyed female be
mated with a white-eyed male all the
sons and daughters will be red-eyed.
Now if a red-eyed female be treated
with a certain dose of X-rays and
mated to a white-eyed male some OF
her sons will be white-eyed like their
father In similar way. If a white
eyed female be treated with X-rays ana
mated with red-eyed male some or
her sons will be red-eyed and some OF
her daughters white-eyed. In some
cases as many as II per cent. of the
sons have been of this exceptional kind.
Had it not been known that ex-
ceptional flies like the mentioned
white-eyed daughters and red-eyed sons
do very rarely arise In nature from
matngs of white-eyed females with
red-eyed male ones, we would have had
little hesitation in calling them muta-
tons"
Prof. Mavor then explained the action
of X-rays in altering the minute cells,
the chromosomes. whereby hereditary
qualities are passed from one genera
ton to the next This action of the
X-ray on the immature egg cells of
the fly brought about the alterations in
sex. he said.

DO NOT WANT A JOINT
TRIAL WITH MORSES
Gibboney and Barber Say Co.
defendants Are Unpopular.

Contending that the standing Of other
defendants indicted in company with
Charles w. Morse and his three sons in
connection with the charge OF using the
mails to defraud would be prejudiced by
the fact tina. the question of Morse S
release from Atlanta was the subject of
SO much discussion at the present time,
counsel for Stuart G. Gibboney and
William A. Barber insisted yesterday
that they should get trial separate
from those Of Morse and his sons. The
counsel for Barber and Gibbony also
asked Judge A. N. Hand In the United
States District Court that their clients
be granted a speedy trial. Judge Hand
reserved decision.
In an affidavit drawn up by Col.
Francis Caffey, former United States
Attorney, who is defending Barber and
Gibboney, it was stated that the de-
fence which will be presented by his
clients at the trial will be strongly an
tagonistic" to some Of the defendants
indicated in the case. Col. Caffey's affi-
davit stated that after lengthy consid-
GRAFTON of the case neither he nor his
associate counsel could find any reason
why Barber and Gibboney were indicted
by the Federal Grand Jury in company
with the Morses, Rupert M. Much and
Henry z. Broughton.

UPTOWN BANKS WARY
OF TAKING 500 BILLS
NeW Counterfeits Deceive
Many Cashiers.

So many counterfeit 800 bills have
been received by the banks in Wash
ington Heights, Harlem and The
Bronx, in the last two weeks that yes
terday the banks announced that every
person who rendered a bill of that de-
nomination must sign an identifi-
cation blank. The bills have been raised
from 81 notes. and the work is so clev-
erly done that many bank cashiers

made their appearance at Belmont
Park, and soon afterward began COM
ing into Manhattan and Bronx banks,

Representative Larsen (Dem., Ga.)

as a smoke screen. Representative

tivity of the department in prosecut-
