SUN SPOTS, QUAKES,

1 nitrd Prs I.eael Wlrr.)
Rants Clara, Cal., Keb. 28. That
every earthquake for months past has
been predicted for weeks or months In
advance by Dr. Albert Porta, Father
Rlcard's association at Santa Clara
university. It Is claimed at the uni
versity observatory today.
Among; thoae which the doctor fore
told. It (vat stated, were the shakes in
southern Japan, In New York, at Reno,
In Canada and those recorded at St.
Igrnatius college, Cleveland, and in St.
Louis more recently.
Forecasts were now beitiK made, it
whs . learned, as far ahead as next
December, but for some reason which
was not explained, it was oaid tbey
would not be given out for the pres
ent. Between earthquakes and sun spots,
it Is the Santa Clara observer's
opinion, a direct connection exists.
According to their theory, when the
revolving; sun brings a spot within a
tuadrtlatoral 70 degrees square on the
side of the sun facing the earth, there
ts a danger period which increases as
the spot nenrs the solar axis, and
when it crosses the axis there invar
iably Is an earthquake.
The quake's location, if Dr. I'orta
Is correct, depends on the spot's posi
tion on the sun.
In his weather forecast for March.
It was learned that Father Ttlcard sees
only four storm dates: March 1 and
2: 7; 10 and 11, and 17. The detailed
report Is to he published tomorrow.

'SELF-MADE MAN' IS
E, DR.
W.
SAYS
Former Portland Physician
Addresses the Commercial
Club,,
There Is no such thing as a self
made man," declared Dr. Woods Hutch
inson in addressing the membership
of the Commercial club at luncheon
today. "He was born that way, that
is vigorous and healthy." The 'state
ment was received with a wave of ap
plause that indicated hearty approval.
Dr. Hutchinson is In Portland today
ei route to California to iflll lecture
engagements. Nine years ago he lived
in Portland ar a practicing physician,
but now he makes New York his head
quarters and writes magazine articles
In the Interest of the improvement of
mankindr This evening he will Kg
guest of honor at a dinner at the Port
land given by a number of members of
the medical profession, ' intimate
friends of his.
Eug-enics Gets Bap.
Dr. Hutchinson indicated in his talk
today that while the science of eu
genics may be of importance, all chil
dren arcj born alike, with a very
small exception, :uch as from 2 to i
per cent, who are borne by degener
ates. These oil belong to one class,
l e contended, and can be graced back
to a mere handful of tramps and
chicken thieves. Had they been elimU
uated from society in tvisej days, there
would have bc-'n none today. j
"The pedigrees of the . people of a
community are pretty much the same,"
he explained. "The theory of breed
ing lower animals do not apply to
man, for man is far too high to bo
bred on such standards., besides, we
breed the lower animals to; our advan
tage, and not necessarily J to the ad
vantage of the animal. For Instance,
I do not think the high bred hog finds
is'advantageous to carry 250 pounds
of extra fat, but it Is of advantage to
the butcher.
"Poverty." Dr. Hutchinson continued,
"Is due largely to disease, and disease
of the jrrown people may ht traced as
developments of trivial diseases dur
ing childhood."
Moat Tots Born normal.
He contended that the great major
ity of children are born normal and
if properly fed, housed and cared for
will grow into strong, healthy men and
women. The more abundantly growing
children are fed, the greater will be
the working returns of" the community
in which they live.
Employers, he pointed out. are begin
ning to discover this and they no
longer see how little they can get men
to work for but instead devote atten
tion to see how well they can afford
to pay them.
Therefore, he said, 'it is up to any
community to make the coming genera
tion what it wishes to make it. Even
in the slums, he said, children are born
normal and among them as many gen
iuses as among the upper strata of
society.

just a suspicion of a frosty tinge in
the air.
Several hundred persons camped

started for Santa Monica before day
light, and when the sun rose scores of
automobiles were parked all along the
speedway, while the boulevards to Los

DEWEY TALKED-WAR

L,
American Told German Hej
Would Search Every Ves
sel, by Force if Necessary,
(United Press Leased Wire.)
Berlin. Feb. 28. That Admiral Dew
ey seriously talked war with Germany
at Manila in 1898 was asserted today
by Admiral Von Diederlchs. the Ger
man naval commander, who quarreled
with him there, in an article in the of
ficial Marine Runds.
The statement, which is an amplifi
cation of Von Diederlchs' earlier an
swer at Baden Baden to Dewey's ver
sion of Manilar bay happenings.; in his
book, relates that Dewey graduallv
talked himself into a rage in insisting
that the Germans permits his officers
to make the necessary investigations
to establish the Identities of neutrat
warships at the blockaded port.
"He said," recounts Von Diederlchs.
" 'I shall stop every vessel, whatever
may be her colors; and if she does not
stop, I shall fire at her. And that
means war. do you know, sir?'
"When the phrase, 'If Germany
wants war' was used again, I took my
leave. I was under the impression
that this incident, in itself trivial, put
a match to a mass of explosives which
had long been accumulating ln Admir
al Dewey's mind from suspicion, rumor
and newspaper reports."

today ln surmort of hpip AtnfHntlno a
claims concerning the circumstances
under- which the large sum obtained
rrom the sale of exposition souvenirs
got in to the lady managers hands.

botham's advice. It had increased to
$67,760.11 in 20 years and It was ready
at any time to be turned over for the
uses to which it originally was dedi

the money was exposition money and
not the lady managers' at all, the late
Potter Palmer offered to put $200,000
with It if it were turned over to the
lady managers for women's and chil

differing assertions with proof.
