Milwaukee, Wis, June 21.-A Dit
ter attack on what he termed the
traffic in glands" was made To-
day by Herbert c. Noonan, presi-
dent of Marquette university, ana
one of the best known educators IN
the state. He denounced the prac-
tice as a violation of the morai
law, not alone by the person VINO
submits to the operation, but oy
the surgeon who, for fee, trans
plants the glands. His statement
is expected to arouse dissenslon
in the medical ranks because OF the
recent operation upon Harold r
Mccormick of Chicago and lis
standing as president of the 1arg.
est medical school in the state and
his professional rank.
Mosaic Law FOrbids.
Buying and selling human
glands in an operation of trans
planting is a grave violation of the
moral law" he said. ''The moral
precept, thou shalt not kill, for
bids not alone murder or suicide
but likewise mutilation of the hui
man body. An organ or member
may be amputated only when the
good of the entire body demands
such an operation. An operauoL
involving the removal of a gland
from one person and transplantine
it in another, is not lawful and
constitutes a grave mutilation and
one, which If not performed tc
save life, constitutes a moral
wrong

and covered the roads leading west
of Mercedes, is expected between
midnight and dawn Thursday when
the crest of the upper flood is due
to reach the edge of Starr county.
This upper flood, the result of a
L
county, Texas, last Saturday. is re-
markable in the history of the rlv-
er, not only because it has exceed
ed all previous records. but also
because of its slow movement and
sustained volume.
Fear Further Spread.
From a stream normally 200 to
300 yards wide and Is inches to
I.six feet deep, the Rio Grande has
become so feet deep at the flood
crest and from three-Quarters of a

Reports on the balloting at the
Burnside shops of the Illinois Cen

Chicago to canvass the returns. The
general chairmen are expected to
arrive Friday and Saturday, in

CON CON TO PASS UP REVENUE ARTICLE
University Head DenOunces
Traffic In Glands; Calls
Ii violation of Moral L0lU'

Even though man gives his con-
sent to the removal Of his glards
so that they can be transplanted
into another's, that consent does
not make the operation moral. A
good intention does not change the
fact that man is contradicSing
Gods dominion over life and
death. Such gland operation Is
intrinsically wrong and a good in
tention does not transform vice
into virtue. II it did every evil
deed could be made virtuous. The
act in itself, the intent and circum-
stances must be considered. \
Poverty No Excuse.
"The principle involved in Gods
supreme dominion over human life
And the willingness of the victim
to dispose of his glands for con-
sideration cannot be used as an
argument that the operation is
proper. Even the direst poverty
would be no excuse to earn money
in this manner.
Should people who submit to
the removal of such glands from
tAeli UOuy tdhe SOuAoSl WIN
moralist they would have to re,
fuse such requests, even though
all the gold in the world were Of
fered as an alluring bribe."
Recently DR.. Noonan clashed
with Professors Shea and Ross o1
the University of Wisconsin on the
question of birth control, insisting
that the doctrines along that line
as promulgated at the state uni
versity were atheistic in charac-
