IS THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, JULY 9. 1921. if -T College Grads Practising Race Suicide, Is Charge Health Officer's Statement Stirs Tempest in N. E. A. Convention; International Congress Planned. Des Moines, July 8. An inter national congress of education, to be . held in 1923, was advocated by Dr. Augustus O. Thomas of Augusta, Me., in submitting a report of the foreign relations committee to the National Education association at its convention here. "The large number of organiza tions engaged in international activi ty tics is evidence of the growing de sire for a closer relationship between ' the people of the various nations," declared Dr. Thomas. In outlining the work of his committee Dr. Thomas said that the committee has devoted most of its time to the study of international educational agencies. He declared that the purpose of these agencies is to create a better understanding and to develop a greater sympathy among neighbors, to correct false notions which the people of one nation sometimes hav of another, and to promote free edu cation among free peoples. It would be the purpose of this congress to develop a spirit of universal educa tion and perpetual peace. Race Suicide Practiced. Race suicide is being practiced on a vast scale by American college graduates, Maurice Ricker, assistant director of the United States public health service, declared in an ad dress before the department of sec ondary education today. . Ht submitted a series of figures to substantiate his statement. "Investi gation by the federal health service," he said, "over a period of years indi cate that the progeny of 1,000 grad uates from such institutions as Har vard, Yale, Princeton, Vassar and Smith will not exceed SO in 100 years from now." A similar investigation conducted among illiterate foreigners, he said, showed thit in a like period the original thousand will be multiplied at least 100 times. The ratio, therefore, will be, he said, 50 men and women descended from educated parents to 100,000 in dividuals begotten by ignorant par ents. Shirk Responsibility. This condition, Mr. Ricker said, is premeditated, college graduates shirking the responsibility of chil dren. Mr. Ricker's statements creat ed somewhat of a minor tempest at the meeting. He urged that sex matters be taught openly in the schools. "It must be placed on the same footing as other sciences," Mr. Ricker de clared. During the discussion that fol lowed, Judge Ben Lindsey of Den ver raised the question whether the teaching of sex matters would not increase immorality. This conten tion was strenuously denied by Mr, Ricker, who cited figures to dis prove it. The association at its meeting to day adopted a resolution providing for the establishment of a bureau of economics at Washington to dissemi nate information on taxation, sources of school revenue and operation and management of schools. Omaha Is Honored. T. H. Beveridge, superintendent of the Omaha public schools, was elect ed a member of the committee to nominate officers for next year. In addition to attending arious ses sions of the convention he is great ly in demand as a speaker on the various programs. He has spoken on the work of Boy Scouts, Camp Fire Girls and the Phi Beta Kappa banquet. He was one of the leading speak ers of the department of visual edu cation. The work of the Omaha schools under his supervision has been used as an illustration of pro gressive educational achievement. Superintendent Beveridge has been commended by the delegates for the efficient way in which he has organ ized the city school system. The city of Omaha has 20 out of the 40 official delegates at the con vention. ' Receiver Is Appointed For Lincoln Public Markets Lincoln, Neb., July 8. A re ceiver was appointed today for the Lincoln public markets on allegation by Duane D. Samson, who says he is a creditor in the sum of $11,000, that the corporation is a bankrupt. Mr. Samson, who made the applica tion through his agent, Harry Han sen, to Daniel McLenahan, referee in bankruptcy, alleges that the Lin coln company is a corporation ex isting under the laws of Iowa for conducting a retail meat business with principal place of business at Des Moines, but with five stores in Nebraska, three at Lincoln, one at Hastings and one at York.

With a dog they had planned to drown in the Mississippi river standing guard over them, the bodies of two boys, Clark Waldorf and Frank Hayden, were found on the river bank to day following an electrical storm. They had been killed by lightning. Harmony Marks G. 0. P. Caucus On Tariff Bill Decision Reached To Permit An AmAnflmanta Ia Dye and Hide i 2 Schedules. ik By E. C. SNYDER. VT Washington Correspondent Omaba Be." Washington, July 8. (Special Tel egram.) From many republican sources it is learned that the caucus of house republicans to talk over the tariff bill and arrange for its passage after ample time for debate was far more harmonious than even the most optimistic partisan had anticipated. The only fly in the ointment was Congressman Frear of Wisconsin, a member of the ways and means com mittee that drafted the bill now un der consideration, who declaimed aeainst the dye schedule and de manded that a separate vote be had on that schedule because it was made in the interest of an American com pany that had stolen the formulas from Germany, or words to that effect. With a desire to placate every body who had a grievance against the committee bill, a separate vote was conceded on the Frear amend ment. A like provision was entered into on the hide schedule, there be ing a number of midwest members who want a duty on hides, although they insist that boots and shoes and harness be admitted free. Green Explains Situation. Congressman Green of the Council Bluffs district, an uncompromising protectionist and ranking member on the "ways and means committee, in reviewing the action of the republi can caucus last night said: "The onvilejre was given ot a separate vote on raw cotton. This was - very much of a surprise and caused consternation - to reign in certain quarters, both in the repub lican ' and democratic ranks. Jew England republicans were insistent that if raw cotton was put on the dutiable list, as desired by the south ern republicans, it would utterly ruin the cotton schedule and seriously injure the party. On the other hand, laree number or democrats are now wondering what they will do when a vote is taken upon it. They cannot vote for a duty on rawcot ton without being inconsistent with their party platforms and previous records. They cannot vote against it without drawing down upon them selves the wrath of their constitu ents. The republican leaders were generally against the duty as not one which could be levied strictly in accordance with the protective principles, as we export about 60 times as much cotton as we im port. On the other hand, there seemed to be a disposition among the new members to grant a tariff on nearly everything regardless of its nature and the previous stand of the republican party as evidenced by former tariff bills. Many Want Duty on Hides. "A very strong sentiment de veloped in favor of a tariff on hides notwithstanding the fact, generally admitted that if a duty ' was put on hides there would have to be a com pensating duty on boots, shoes and other leather goods. If this is done I am unable to see how the voter would get any benefit from the duty. The bill as k stands is a great im provement over the Payne bill in this respect. The Payne bill car ried no duty on hides, but did put a duty on shoes and leather goods, which are free in the pending bill. "The tariff on crude oil certainly presents a burning question. The opposition is so strong that this pro vision may go out. It is generally understood that the administration is opposed to it and the president would prefer, instead, a bargaining provision under which he might ob tain some concessions using the proposed tariff as a club. Our new merchant marine largely consists of oil burners. Many of the southern railways have oil burning locoma tives and many northern factories operate with fuel oil. The Standard .Oil company is said to be against the tariff, but in my opinion they will be able to take advantage of the situation, whatever the result will be. I think the chief troubles of the southern oil producers lie in the fact that they are in the grasp of a mon opoly and I am opposed to a duty on oil. The provision for free lum ber, which I favored, is entirely satisfactory." live Stock Growers' Pool Ready in Few Days Chicago, July 8. The $50,000,000 pool formed by bankers for the re lief of the live stock industry will be in operation in two weeks, it was announced here today following a conference yesterday, when a satis factory plan was made for redis counting live stock paper at federal reserve banks. The plan, approved by the federal reserve board, provides rediscount- mg of original cattle paper in ma turity of six months. The banks plan to renew the loans several times. The paper will be deposited with the Chicago Federal Reserve bank and allocated when rediscount is de sired by a member bank. Appli cations for loans in excess of $1,000, 000 already have been received. Jefferis Will Visit Waterways Congressman to Be Member of Party Which Will Make Canadian Trip. Washington, July 8. (Special Tel egram.) Congressman Jefferis will be a member of a distinguished company of senators and represen tatives who will leave for Canada Saturday as the guests of the Ca nadian government to get first hand knowledge of the "lake-to-thc-sea" movement which is now agitating the farmers and business interests of the middle-west. Reprcsentativvcs from 20 mid west states, including the governors j of these states, have accepted the invitation of the government of Can ada to spend a week in inspecting the waterways and the harbors on the Canadian side that figure in the "Jakes-to-the-sea" movement. The party will meet at Niagara Falls on the Canadian side on Sat urday and Sunday. After an in spection of the hydro-electric plants the guests will board the steamship Cape Eternary at Thorold, Canada, on Monday for a five-day trip on the St. Lawrence river, past the Thousand Islands and touching at the important harbors of 'Toronto, Quebec and Montreal. Congressman Jefferis will return to Washington on July 16 in ample time to vote on the tariff bill July 21. Mr. Jefferis proposes to see for himself the potential possibilities that underlie the building of a series of cailals from the Great Lakes to the sea for the outlet of the grains of the west, its coal and iron ore.

' 4 Highjackers Canada Bound Canadian "Mounties" Take Omaha Quartet to Face Trial at Regina, Sask. They've gone away for a lonfjr, long time, and no one knows if they'll ever come back.
