Prisoners are permitted largely to
organize themselves for necessary
duties. A captured non-commis-
stoned officer is placed in charge OF
80 or 40 fellow prisoners. Basket ball
is the most popular prisoner recre-
alton.
Few prisoners show much disap-

they want merely to let the folks
back home know they are alive. This

Discovery of Artificial
Life Bears on Heredity

Life has been caused to develop
artificially in surprising new way,
it was learned at California Institute
of Technology. Discoverer of the
new method that has a bearing on
heredity is noted woman scien-
fist, DR.. Ethel Browne Harvey Of
Princeton university.
Fragments of sea-urchin eggs
containing no nuclei, and thus no
chromosomes, have been caused by
entirely artificial means to develop
and multiply until, from one cell,
500 have been produced. In her lat
est research, DR.. Harvey explained,
she has been able to develop this
queer form of life to the point where
the freak sea-urchin creatures are
almost able to swim. Efforts to
carry the development of individu-
ais further by treating the unique
living forms with vitamins and hor-
mones have failed, she admitted.
The Princeton woman's work
proves that, contrary to previous
belief, a cell requires no nucleus to
be made to start dividing and so
multiplying into additional individu-
ais. The former idea was that no
real development of new individ-
ual could occur without the aid of
bearers of heredity contained in the
parent nuclei.

The children were born in Penn

fled and escaped from Maryland.
Opinion of the Court:
The right to seize and retake
fugitive slaves, and the duty to
deliver them up, in whatever state
of the Union they may be found,
is, under the Constitution, recog-
nized as an absolute positive right
and duty, pervading the whole
Union with an equal and supreme
force, uncontrolled and uncontrol-
liable by state sovereignty or state
legislation.
The act of the legislature of
Pennsylvania upon which the in
dictment against Edward Prigg is
founded, is unconstitutional and
void; it purports to punish as a
public offense against the state, the
very act of Selling and removing a
slave by his master, which the Con-
stitution of the United States was
designed to justify and uphold.
Kentucky in 1922.
AS the Constitution of the United
States does not authorize any but
white persons to become citizens,
it creates a presumption in an &C
ton by a cOlOred person claiming
to be a citizen of another state,
that no state made persons of color
citizens.
Indiana in 1866.
A free man of color born within

this state is a citizen of the state
and of the United States, within

Alabama in 1859.
Under the Constitution and laws
of the United States, and of the
State of Alabama, as existing il
the year 1859, free Negroes or per.
sons of color, residing in Ohio
whose ancestors were slaves, were
