MILWAUKEE, D*( 20—On and
after January 1, 1014. men who wish
to marry in this State must present
certificates of health signed by repu
table physicians. The eugenic law
passed at the laat session of the Leg
islature goes into effect on that day.
and not even the cleverest lawyers
have been able to find any way of
avoiding It. It also provides that any
person going to another State to mar
ry can not return to Wisconsin with
in a period of one year unless he pre
sents a physicians certificate. In
tent to defraud is punishable with
imprisonment of from one to thirty
years.
There lias been much discussion of
the new law by physicians, clergy
men and social workers In this Staff*
Many approve of it, while others as-
• *ert tha; it will work no good. The
medical profession, however, appears
generally to regard the statute with
favor.
Severe Penalties.
The law provides that any physi
cian issuing a false certificate shall
be deprived of his license to practice,
and any person disclosing the result
of an examination by a physician,
shall be charged with a felony, and
upon conviction shall be sentenced
to from one to five years in the pen
itentiary. The law sets forth that the
cost for medical examination shall be
$3. to be paid by the applicant.
Following are some opinions ex
pressed by leading clergymen and
physicians of Milwaukee:
•‘The statute,*’ said Dr. William
Becker, a prominent physician, “which
compels male candidates for matri
mony to present a certificate of phys
ical and mental health would, theo
retically, be conducive to the better
ment of mankind if both sexes were
equally subjected to the law.
Both Should Submit.
“Viewed In the light of a civil con
tract, both parties entering Into the
agreement should share equally in all
responsibilities, as well as In all priv
ileges of the same. With the man Ir.
possession ,i certified halo, but In
doubt ns to the woman s mental and j
physical state, the woman Is lowered i
to the plane of a quasi chattel and
the legal maxim of “'•caveat emptor*
becomes applicable.
"A considerable per cent of women
bent on marriage are mentally an
physically tainted. Is the woman's
aptitude for marriage less important
than that of the man?”
This was the opinion of the Rev. H. J
<' Beale, of the Congregational
Church#
I have grave doubts as to whether
this particular law will be of any |
great advantage The matter is too
vague and the possibility of evasion j
too great. Besides, it come® perilous
ly near to the line which separates
Individual freedom from social con
trol"
"There is likely to be much adverse
criticism of such a law," said Dr.
Nellie Wentworth Cargill, "and I
would not be surprised to hear of its
early repeal. The man who is clean
will resent a physical examination,
the man who is unclean will evade the
Issue
"The law In itself Is a good one and
probably has the support of the en
tire medical profession, as well as the
thinking people of other professions
"That the law may be changed ti
include women is inevitable. The
woman infected in a previous mar
riage may be a disease carrier and o
disease transmitter without her
knowledge What men are ignorant
of the possibility of them infecting
their mates*’
"It will not be objected to by men
of clean lives, nor by parents of mar
riageable daughters.”

"Blue Jay,” Is Discovered
by a Relative.
MILWAUKEE. Dec. 20. While a
fortune awaited him. Walter Lilly has
lived in a squalid .shack in Minneap
olis, so completely losing his identity
that his name even was forgotten and
he was known simply as "Blue Jav.”
He was found after an eight
months’ search by an attorney, acting
in behalf of George H. C. Lilly, a
half-brother, also one of the five heirs
to the $400,000 estate of Henry Lilly.
"I have «ime papers which will
convey to you one-fifth of the estate
of yc-ur father and it is a good-sized
sum," the attorney informed him.
"Is that so?” said Lilly, exhibiting
no surprise or emotion of any sort.
"I thought I might get something
some day,” he added, in an uncon
cerned manner, as if he were dis
cussing the prospects of a casual ac
quaintance.

TOPEKA, Dec. 20.—The first impor
tant issue which the Kansas women
will present to the people of the Stale
is fhai of making the wife a partner
In her husband's business.
The women now have the right to
vote and they propose to use this rignt
to remove some or the inequalities that
affect property rights. The women wish
the probate court laws simplified, and
tin* extension to the wives of all the
business rights of their husbands.
Mrs l\ P. Elmore, of Kiowa, is lead
ing the tight for equal property rights.
Kansas was one of the first States to
exbend to women the right to hold
property in her own name and by her
own right, without the interference of
the husband. , ,
••The wife should be the partner of
her husband not only In the home but
in the business." said Mrs. Elmore.
Burns Rats to Death;
Cruel? Court to Say
CLEVELAND, Dec. 20.—"Is it cru
elty to animals to burn rats to
death?"
This question will be decided in the
local courts when Stephen Carman
will be tried on a charge of cruelty
to animals, preferred by H. K. Ferry,
officer of the Humane Society. Ferry
caused Carman’s arrest after he cre
mated five rats.
A local attorney will defend Car-
ma t free of charge. He will contend
that it is no more cruel to burn a rat
than it is to give it rat poison, the ac
tion of which, he claims, is slow and
painful.
Remarkable Surgical Feats Cure
Sufferer From Infantile Paral
ysis After Years as*Cripple,
PHILADELPHIA, PA., Dec. 20.—
The latest steps in surgery, involving
such remarkable feats as the passing
of tendons through holes bored In
the bones of the leg and the fixation
of tendons in grooves gouged In the
bones, were revealed at a meetiny of
the Philadelphia Academy of Sur
gery in the College of Physicians.
The unusual operations were per
formed to cure paralysis of the lower
leg resulting from that scourge of
babyhood, infantile paralysis. Dr. j.
Torrence Hugh described the opera
tions as “the last word in surgery” as
applied to cure of paralytic toe droop.
He said the tendons were severed
from their attachments to the atro
phied muscles and reattached to oth
er tendons.
