Continues Its Attack
Upon U, S. President
MEXICO CITY". Feb. U-An uncon
firmed report was current In banking
circles hero today that Provisional
President Hucrto had signed a coerce
authorizing an Issue of 400,000,000 pesos
of flat money of Irredemablo paper
money made legal tender by law. For
eign exchange today touched thrco for
one. the highest point yet reached.
In spite of the protest made by Nelson
O'Shaughncscy, American charge d'af
fairs, and of the Instructions of tho
Mexican foreign offleo to desist from
attacks on President Wilson, Bl Im
partial today bore a three-column first
page headline:
"Board of Wilson lacks honor as does
he himself."
Tho article which follows comments cn
the recognition, by tho United States of
the new Peruvian .government within
four days after the success of the icVolt:
"This was done," tho newspaper says,
"In the faco of the declaration from tho
White Houso on March 11, 1913, that the
purposo of tho United, States Is to dony
sympathy to all revolutionary govern
ments, Vankeo processes work
only along tho line of evil passions."
With similar prominence, El Imparclal
publishes an account of the alleged fall
uro of 150 banks In the southern United
States becauso of President Wilson's
"Iniquitous Mexican policy."
An effort Is made by the newspaper to
show that President Wilson's policy Is
disapproved by the great majority of
people In tho United Stntes- and by
practically all those In the southern
states.

Scientist Says
Eugenic Scheme
is Impracticable
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 14. Dr. A. W.
Manler, head of the department of anat
omy In tho Stanford Medical school of
Stanford university. Is on record today
as saying that eugenics .would hover
mako a perfect man or a perfect woman.
"Nature's laws In the mating of men
and women are Immutable," he said,
"and breeding methods cannot be ap
plied to the human race."
' Neither sex, he said In an address, Is
Inferior or superior to tho other. Each
occupies a distinct sphere, and tho speak
er pointed out by pictures the difference
in their anatomy.
"I am In sympathy with the eugenic
movement," ho said, "but It can never
bo brought to the point Its foremost ad
vocates would have us believe. The mere
selection of perfect types will not neces
sarlly breed perfect types, nor accomplish
any good for the human race."

for the mining companies, at tho con
gressional strlko Investigation this morn
ing. The statement was made in explana
tion of a question asked of a witness, to
which A. V. Kerr, of counsel for the
copper mine strikers, objected on tho
ground that it was part of an effort to
shoVj that tho strike was "fostered and
fathered by led socialism." It was the
same question asked of another wit
ness yesterday arousing slmllur objec
tion: "Aro you a member of tho Finnish
Socialist socloty?"
Needn't Answer.
Jahn Jauhlhanen, tho witness, was told
that ho need not answer tho question
unless he desired. The witness replied,
however, that he did ' not belong to tho
socloty. Ho thought Its namo was
Jousl. Ho did not know its membership.
Mr. Kerr objected vigorously to the
line of cross examination. "At tha In
ception of the 'strike," ho said, "tho min
ing companies mado no claim that It was
being conducted by 'red socialism.' They
set up that a few weeks ago when every
other resort had been exhausted."
'is thero anything degrading In a
man admitting that ho Is a socialist?"
asked Congressman Swltzcr.
"No," replied Mr. Kerr, "but these
questions ara being asked simply to con
fuso tho Issue."
