I THREE CAUSES OUTLINED Priest Opposes Teaching Details and Ss js Reenlts Mast Be At tained by Training That Makes Character. BCFFAI5. X. T Ana. 27. Scientists and educators of world-wide fame, at the fourth International Congress on School Hygiene, in special session to day, agreed with practical unanimity that the time had come when the at titude of the world's educational Insti tutions toward sex hygiene should bo revolutionized. They saw In the silence of the past on the subject a growing: and real menace to the future of the race that must be eombatted by a sys tem of education without exaggeration or morbid suggestion. Public opinion, they maintained, al ready had reached the point where this revolution was demanded. Dr. Charles W. Eliot president of the congress; Rev. Richard J. Tierney. S. J., of Wood stock College. Maryland, and other prominent delegates discussed the sub ject at a symposium attended by the entire congress today. Oplnloa Changing, Says Eliot. "A remarkable change In public opinion has taken place In regard to sex hygiene." Lr. Eliot said, using the term in Its broadest sense. "The policy of silence was almost universal. Med ical discoveries have contributed to the shtft In public opinion, which also has been moved by the many signs of phys ical deterioration, consequent on the rush to city life. "The most Important question Is: Wltat force can now be put in play against the formidable evils whlcn gravely threaten the very life of the race? No one force or agency can be completely relied upon." This attack, he said, must be made against the three principal causes of the present evil conditions: Klrst.lust in men: second, complete lack of moral principle In certain classes of woman, and. third, depravity of those who make a commerce of these two. HrJtu la t lom Declared Failure. "Commercialized vice should be at' tacked In all its forms by all the powers of the' law. The ancient pol icies of toleration and licensed segrega tion and regulation must be uprooted. Segregation has nowhere been success ful. Regulation is a confessed failure. The laws against undesirable marriages need to be revised. Rev. Father Tierney said his convlc tions were not favorable to the move ment in all its details; neither were they adverse. "Eliminate the details of sex hygiene, train character, teach purity that Is noble and possible, that vice Is vile and carries Its own punishment, that marriage is inviolable, that the family is sacred, knowledge is not moral power. Christ, not hygiene, will cleanse the world, was his advice. He also urged the abolition of "ant mal dances" and the discontinuance of co-educational institutions for senior students.

Continued From Finn P. will depart late tonight or tomorrow Sheriffs and Deputy Sheriffs of Ver mont and New Hampshire who Were ready to string themselves along the border line and setso Thaw In event of his deportation. Hep Real With 4nekee. . Jerome and Kenned will confer at Quebeo with the Attorney-General of the province in the hope that he, as the province's chief officer of the Crown, may be able to open the legal lock that holds Thaw in Jail. The three point In which Thaw's lawyers were successful In the first legal skirmishes were: 1. New Tork State lost the right to be party to the proceedings in oourt. t. Counsel for the state failed In their efforts to have Thaw arraigned before a Magistrate and the committ ment on which he Is held quashed. This would have released him to the immigration officers. I. Judge Qlobensky granted the plea of ThaWs counsel for a discontinuance of the writ of habeas corpus which might have brought about his release today. This remedies a strategio blun der made last week by Thaw's attor neys, who apparently did not realise then that in 'seeking their client's re lease they were playing into the op position's hands. Thaw Thanks Canadians, From his cell tonight Thaw issued the following statement: "May I ackwnowledge the fair play accorded by every one since my arrival in Canada, and express my gratitude for the sympathy shown by Canadian people in my present struggle to regain my liberty and to thank specially all the Canadians that I have come in con tact with personally. It is much bet ter than I deserve and entirely at var iance with the malice shown in New York. "It is only fair to make clear that the people of New Tork are all right; no unfairness can be found in the peo ple of New York. A proof of this was found in the vicious opposition to giv ing me an honest jury trial shown by the undemocratio Attorney General. He and his pais know that a New York Jury would stand for fair play, too." The unexpected burst of sympathy in Thaw's behalf for until today resi dents . of Sherbrooke had appeared apathetic came when Judge Globen- sky declined to allow Samuel Jacobs, of Montreal, chief counsel for New York, to submit arguments against the discontinuance of the habeas corpus writ. Jacobs had arisen to address the court after Thaw's attorney had be gun their. arguments to have the writ abandoned. At this point J. N. Oreen shields. Thaw's leading defender, de manded of Jacobs: 'Whom do you represent the State of New Yorkr Conasel for State Ignored. His lordship: "Gentlemen, you need not discuss lu" Mr. Jacobs: "Do I understand that your lordship will not hear any argu ments on the other wide " The court: "'I will not hear you." Jacobs: "I ask that it be noted In the records that we have no status in this court." His lordship: "Make no entry." Jacobs: "My lord, I want to bring to the court's attention that the man who has made the complaint against him (Thaw) is an Interested party. In asmuch as he is liable to damages, and ssk that the entry be made, my lord. that you refuse to hear any other party. we except especially to the Judgment of the court on this matter The court: "Do not make such en try." The words came sharply and then from the back of the courtroom came the cry: "Give him fair play." A woman screamed and the crowd surged forward. Prisoner Bewa Prvfsuadly.

Wae Are Working to Secure H Is Release. the courtroom throng swept toward him. sweeping oourt attendants and po lice aside in its rush. The prisoner sought refuge in the ante-room used by newspaper men and soon afterwards was on hit way back to jail, again cheered by the crowd outside. When court reassembled this after noon the crowd, double that of the morning, arose as the Judge took his seat. A hush fell over the room. Then the court apoke, first in English, then In French. "I must say I was shocked this morn ing," he said, "to be a witness of a most disgraceful scene in this court, one which would give a poor idea of the dignity with which the sittings of our court are held, and which I trust and hope will be taken as the exception, not the rule. I have long been at the bar, and I have been some time on the bench, but I must declare that I have never witnessed such a scene, and if any attempt is made to repeat the con duct of this morning, I will have the guilty parties put In jail." Reeoaamltmeat Is Ordered. In the face of such solemn warning not a sound escaped the crowd when the oourt sustained Thaw's counsel in their contention that they were within their rights in withdrawing the writ of ha beas corpus. Ths court held, in brief, that a man may discontinue any pro ceedings he has undertaken in his own behalf, provided that there Is no spe- clflo law forbidding it. "I therefore grant the application," he concluded, "and order him (Thaw) recommitted to jail to be dealt with ac cording to law on the charge that stands against him." Opinion differed tonight as to whether this meant that Thaw would remain in jail until some high Dominion official interfered, or whether he could demand trial by Jury at the King's Bench next October. Mr. Jerome said, that in his opinion Thaw ultimately would be sent back to New York. The immigration authorities said to night that they would keep agents on the soena, pending developments. Coun sel for Thaw shrugged thsir shoulders and said that the next move was up to the State of New York. Crowds Coatlane Cheering. Thaw, flushed and happy, returned to the hilltop jail, while the crowds, which began cheering at the Courthouse when he emerged, kept up their plaudits as hs passed. A prisoner by his own elec tion, he has staved off the first move to return him to the asylum, where for five years he was a prisoner. Developments In the case tomorrow and the next day depend largely on the outcome of the trip of Jerome and Kenney to Quebeo and the renewed ef forts whloh it is understood will be made to have the magistrate who com mitted Thaw. Alexis Dupuls. of Coati cook, rush the commitment. RAILROAD HEADS CONFER Southern Pacific Officials Called to San Francisco Meeting.

DETENTION IN CANADA. right by Underwood & Underwood. Harry Thaw aad LI berry In His Dash JUDGE IS ACCUSED House to Investigate Federal Jurist in Georgia. CHARGES ARE NUMEROUS Attempted Bribery, Nepotism, Dissi pation of Receivership Assets and Use of Drugs Among Accusations Made. WASHINGTON, Aug. 27. Ths House today adopted a resolution authorizing investigation of charges against Judge Emery Bpeer, of the Federal Court of Georgia. The Investigation will be con ducted by a sub-committee of the judi ciary committee, which originates im peachment proceedings. In response to repeated demands by Republican Leader Mann, Chairman Clayton, of the judiciary committee, to day gave the House the substance of the charges made against Judge Speer In a report from Attorney-General Mc- Reynolds. These charges set forth that Judge Speer attempted bribery; took money from court funds for private purposes; contrary to the law employed nis son-in-law about his court and of flees; violated the bankruptcy ' laws; violated laws relative to the selection of Juries; violated Supreme Court man dates; decided in favor of his son-la law In matters relating to fees; used court officials as private servants; al lowed the dissipation of assets of es tates in the custody of the court; es tablished receiverships without notices to owners; refused to allow the dls missal of litigation giving relatives generous fees; allowed money to remain without Interest in banks in whlch-rel-atives were interested; unlawfully seised and ordered sold property in litigation, and used drugs. It is probable that the investigation will not be undertaken before late in the Fall. The Judiciary committee of the House tomorrow is expected to ac cede to Judge Speer s request for post' ponement, which was accompanied by an affidavit from Dr. 8. R. Rodgers, the juaga s pnysician, saying that his pa. tlent was a hay fever sufferer, and that it would be dangerous for him to come to Washington at this time of the year. The doctor, who said he had been Judge Spear's family physlolan for 22 years, declared that the Judge "does not yield to any conduct or habits which would receive the condemnation or disap proval ot nis pnysician." This was in answer to a charge that the Judge used drugs. New Paving to Be Testea. "Bitucrete," a new form ot paving. will be given a tryout in the Grove- land Park district.

JJ fOEASED IliGOI TAX IS VOTED DOWN All Democratic Senators and 13 Republicans Oppose Bristow's Plan. NEW AMENDMENT OFFERED La Follette Proposes Further Levy on Incomes Above 910,000 and Predicts Further Vacan cies In Senate. WASHINGTON. Aug. 7. In a verbal tilt marked by sharp debate on both sides. Senator juaFollette today pre dicted the retirement of Senator Gal linger, of New Hampshire, the Repub llcan leader, and others of "his t5pe" because of their failure to adjust them selves to changing industrial condl tlons. The collequy followed Senator La Follette's declaration that Republican Senators who were voting against a heavier Income tax on big Incomes In cluded many who had "always opposed the establishment of any Income tax. He was commenting on the defeat of the Brlstow amendment proposing a tax running up to 10 per cent on in comes of $100,000 and against which II Republicans and the solid Democratic side had voted. "I am sorry there Is a division on the Republican side," Senator La Fol lette said. "There is a new day com ing in this country. If the Republican party will not aee it, then its place will be taken by some party that will. Galllager Makes Retort. He recalled that he had predicted "vacant seats" six or seven years ago and the prediction bad been filled. "It is true that some Senatora have disappeared from this side," Senator Gal linger retorted, "agid it is equally true that the Republican party has been put out of power by some men who sympathize with the Senator from Wisoonsln in his extreme views. "The Republican party has been put out of power by the people of this country wlro sympathise with the views which I am now expressing." Senator La Follette cried, shaking his hand. "and they will put more men out of the Senate of the type of the Senator from New Hampshire before we get through with the disposition of these issues." The defeat of the Bristow amend ment by a vote of 46 to 16 came at the end of a short debate, in the course of which many Republicans had urged a heavier tax on the larger Incomes of the country. The Democrats voted solidly sgainst the change and were joined by the following Republicans: Senators Bradley. Brandegee. Catron, Colt. Gallinger, Lodge. McLean. Oliver, Penrose, Root. Smoot, Townsend and Weeks. Changed Basts Proposed. Senator LaFollette proposed another amendment as aoon as this was de feated, changing the basis of the tax. It proposed an increase of one-half of one per cent on each $10,000 up to $o0.000; an Increase of one per cent on each $10,000 from $50,000 to $100.- 000: and a Jump from seven per cent to 10 per cent for all lnoomes above $100,000.

It will provide: A tax of five per cent, or five times the normal corporation tax, on the in come ef any concern that produces or sells from one-quarter to one-third of the total amount of any given line of production; ten per cent on corpora tions producing or selling from one third to one-half of the total: and of 20 per cent on corporatlona producing or selling more than one-halt ot the total.

ARMOR BIDS ALL ALIKE THREE COMPAXIES' FIGCRES SAME IX EVERY CLASS. Daniels Requests Confernece to In quire Into Process of Telepathy Steel Men TTse. WASHINGTON. Aug. IT. When bids on a larger quantity of armor for the American battleship now designated No. it were opened at the Navy De partment today it was found that the bids of the Bethlehem Steel Company. Mldvale Eteel Company and Carnegie Steel Company were identical On all clasaea. and also Identical with the bids submitted previously by the same companies for armor for the Pennsyl vania, now building. . Secretary Daniels held up all the bids and does not propose letting con tracts until another effort has been made to secure competition. With this end In view be asked the officials of the Midvale. Bethlehem snd Carnegie companies to confer with him. "The Secretary has requested a con ference." says a statement from the Navy Department today, "with a rep resentative of each bidders bidding the same figure. He is1 desirous of learn- from each by what process of telepathy they arrive at the Identical figures in their bids. It looks like the only hope for relief from exorbitant prices is for the Government to establish an armor plant. "These gentlemen profess that no understanding in prices exists between them and each attests in an affidavit submitted with their respective, bids that said company 'Is not engaged In any such combination, agreement, eon piracy or understanding as ia pro hibited by the Naval appropriation act of August 22. 1112.' Without delving at this time Into the cause of this sur prising coincidence in uniformity of bids, the Department cannot but note with disfavor the agreement that exists. They speak more eloquently than any explanation which may be offered; they prove conclusively that competition for this enormous amount of Government business is a farce.
