Sacred Problems of Sex Should Be
jTaught Child Says Eugenics Expert
Declares False Modesty of
Parents Causes Misery and
Sin
MEN RESPONSIBLE
FOR SOCIAL EVIL
Scorns Politicians Who Ex
ploit Fallen Women and
Saloonkeepers
The child -who learns or the sacred
problems of sex In the language of
tlie gutter will tend toward the gut
ter, think as of the gutter, and trass
Into obscurity.
Such was the truth hurled into the
teeth of women who this afternoon
crowded Zion Lutheran Church to
hear Dr. J. Aspinall McCuaig, of New
Tork, head of the educational depart
ment of the National Christian 1 <ea
gue, who during the next three weeks
will deliver a series of "Eugenics" lec
tures at Zion Lutheran Church, Fourth
street, near Market.
This afternoon's lecture on "The
Native Instincts of the Child" was for
women only and hundreds of mothers
crowded old Zion Church to hear Dr.
McCuaig who ts recognised as one
of the greatest authorities on eugenics
in the world. His address was filled
with clear, concise, true ringing phil
osophy, proving that sex instincts
when allowed to develop without, con
trol cause untold degeneration, misery
and sin.
Concerning the Social Evil
Dr. McCuaig has come to this city
bearing the recommendation than no
less an authority tbnn Dr. Howard A.
Kelly, tho eminent surgeon of Balti
more, Md., who some time ago gave a
lecture on the "Social Evil" in this
city that led to a city-wide crusade
against houses of vice in Harrisburg
which has not yet ceased and will not
cease until every known resort has
been closed by the police. Dr. Mc-
Cualg's statements coincide in nearly
every particular with those of Dr.
Kelly. He opened his lecture scries
yesterday afternoon with an address
to men onlj' in which he declared that
men are primarily and fundamentally
responsible for the social evil and
commercialized vice.
Should Train Child
in his lecture this afternoon Dr.
McCuaig pointed out that every chil'J
is born with certain dominant forces,
a.nd that unless the child is trained ID
the control of these forces the grav
est danger impends. False delicacy
on the part of the parent, the speaker
declared is causing more wrong doing
than any other thing in the world.
Dr. McCuaig said in part:
"The greater danger which con
fronts the child is that through a
false delicacy on the pnrt of tho par
ent the child will grow to the age
where It goes out into the world—to
kindergarten or primary school, un
taught. by the mother in the funda
mental truths concerning sex and the
mysteries of birth and procreation.
Then instead of learning the truth,
which is that sex Is a spirit (not an
organism an so many wrongly be
lieved), anil the most beautiful and
sacred of nil God's gifts to man, it
will get half truths and untruths in
the language of Hie gutter, that will
give the child the impression that sex
is a tiling that is essentially unclean.
Chilli's Soul Poisoned
"Not only will the mind and even
the very soul of the child be poisoned,
but all confidence between the child
and tlie parent will be destroyed and
it will make it almost Impossible for
the mother to impart to the child any
of the lessons of control without whicli
the child be doomed to light an un
equal battle with the world."
To-morrow afternoon at. 3.30 an
other lecture in the course in "Eugen
ics" will be given in Zion church. It
will deal specifically with "The Care
of tho Boy ami the ('are of the Girl,"
pointing out tlie different instruction
that should be given to each. At 7.30
o'clock Dr. McCuaig will address a
mass meeting of men and women in
the same auditorium under tlie direc
tion of the Civic Council of Churches
on "Causes of Crime." •

DIRTY CHIMNEYS ID
BAD FLUES CAUSE OF
TOO MANY FIRES HERE
Fire Chief Declares Entire City
Should Have Thorough
"Chimney Inspection"
Harrisburg is having too many fires
as a result of defective flues and dirty
chimneys, according to Fire Chief
John Kindler. In reference to the
numerous alarms recorded during the
pas thtree weeks, the Fire Chief said:
"Harrisburg needs a thorough
chimney inspection. The high cost
of coal is bringing many people to
the necessity of using logs in their
furnaces and heaters. This Alls the
chimneys with soot and when there is
a real hot lire and a high wind trouble
icsults.
"Some limes a fire is likely to break
out during the night as a result of
dirty chimneys and serious results
may follow. Cheap buildlngß with bad
flues are also factors in many fires."
Harrisburg firemen were kept, busy
yesterday because of chimney fires.
An overheated Hue at the home of
C. A. Veneberg. 324 South Sixteenth
street, caused slight damage and ga\ e
tiie firemen a ru;i at~nbor yesterday.
A lighted cigarct thrown oit an awning
at 1534 Derry street last night gave
the firemen another run. The damage,
was slight.
The Camp Curtin Company was
called out early this morning to fight
a blaze at the store of W. L. Keene,
Maclay and Moore streets, where it
was said a bad flue started a blaze

HARRISBURG, PA., MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 9, 1914.
WANT A FORTUNE?
PROVE YOUR NAME
IS MINNIE, PLEASE
Salt Lake City Attorneys Looking
For Niece of Man Who
Left Big Estate
Is your name Minnie?
If so you may be the heir to a big
estate. Here's the story:
Thomas Morgan who had Quite a
bit of money in the banks at Salt
Lake City, Utah, died in June, 1912,
leaving the settling of his estate in
the liapds of Marioneaux, Stott, Mc-
Klnney and Powers, attorneys of Salt
Lake City. ,
Somehow or other Thomas Morgan's
heirs couldn't, be located and Marion
eaux. Stott, etc., attorneys, didn't know
what to do with the money in the Salt
Lake City banks. Not long since they
learned that a Mrs. P. B. Haslet, sup
posed to be a. niece of Mr. Morgan,
once lived in Harrisburg, Pa., and that
a picture of Mrs. Haslet was taken by
John D. Lemer, then a photographer
of this city. Last week Mr. Lemer,
who lives at 1215 North Third street,
received the following letter:
Dear Sir: Many years ago, you
took the pictures of a young la.dy
whose uajnc we do not,.,
vnow, but" w'losi l married name is
Airs. P. P. Haslet. The lady's
first name was Minnie. You also
photographed an elderly man and
an elderly woman, whose names
we do not know, but we suppose
were related to Mrs. Haslet. Mrs.
Ilaslet is supposed to be a niece
of Thomas Morgan, who died in
this city June, 1912, leaving con
siderable estate, to which Mrs.
Ilaslet is probably an heir. Think
ing that you may be a.ble to give
us some information that may
lead to the discovery of Mrs. Has
let's whereabouts, we write you
this letter, and will greatly appre
ciate your kindness if you will
write us. giving any and all in
formation you can.
Hoping that we are not Impos
ing upon you an that you will
write us at your earliest conveni
ence, we are,
Yours very truly,
Marioneaux, Stott, McKinney,
and Powers.
Unfortunately Mr. Lemer has de
stroyed all his negatives, having re
tirod from business long ago. He has
asked the Telegraph to aid in the
search for Mrs. Haslet.

'a new organization with progressive

President Wilson, Governor Glynn, of
New York, and William P. McCombs,
the Democratic national chairman, in
a conference at the White House to

evidences of preparation here for the

most important admittedly is the
status of the Empire State democracy.
_ With a spirited city election in New

tion and with contests in various parts
of the State between Tammany and

RESOLUTION SEEKING
EQUAL SUFFRAGE IS

Leaders and Friends of
the "Cause"
QUESTION TO BE DISCUSSED
Senator Ashurst Asks That Amend
ment Be Made to Con
stitution
By Associated Press
Washington, Feb. 9.—The question
of equal suffrage confronted the Sen
ate to-day. It came before that body
In the shape of a resolution proposing
an amendment to the constitution ex
tending the right of suffrage to wo
men.
The resolution was first on the cal
endar of business in the Senate and
as there was no unfinished business
betore that body it wus called up im
mediately after the routine morning
business had been disposed of. When
Senator Ashurst, of Arizona, who is
sponsor for the resolution, called it
up there were present In the galleries
woman suffrage leaders and many
friends of the "cause."
The prospects for a vote on the
resolution to-day, however, were not
good for the reason that several sena
tors had previously given notice that
when the question was reached they
wanted to discuss it. There was a
possibility that the resolution would
go over to allow senators an oppor
tunity to prepare their speeches.
Senator Ashurst was confident that if
a vote was not reached to-day the
Senate would act during the present
session.
The resolution proposing a consti
tutional amendment to give the ballot
to women was severely reported by
the Senate woman's suffrage commit
tee last June.
Consideration of the proposed con
stitutional amendment for women suf
frage was referred again in the Sen
ate to-day because several senators
gave notice they wished to discußS it
later. A large KatherinK of suffrage
supporters which packed the galleries
expecting to see the resolution pass
was disappointed.

EXEMPTION PLANK IN
PARTY PLATFORM NOT
FAVORED BY WILSON
President Let It Be Known Today
He Regarded Toll Policy
as Unwise
WILL NOT FORWARD MESSAGE
Believes Attitude on Panama Sub
ject Is Well Known in
Congress
By Associated Press
Washington, D. C., Feb. 9.—Presi
dent Wilson let it be known to-day
that, from the first he regarded as
an unwise policy the insertion In the
Democratic national platform of the
plank favoring the exemption of
American coast-wise ships from the
payment of Panama canal tolls.
The President feels that a platform
declaration on such a subject la re
lated to circumstances that arise all
over the world as well as In the
United States, and that only the ele
ment which the United States can con
trol in the situation ought to be con
sidered. He feels that a change of
circumstances has arisen in the Inter
national aspect of the situation which
necessarily would change the attitude
of the American government and the
attitude of the country on the subject.
Should Be Limited
Mr. Wilson told callers to-day that
tho whole international situation and
the point of view of governments was
to some extent involved in the settle
ment of the controversy. He Intimat
ed that platform declarations should
be limited to matters of domestic pol
icy and should not embrace relations
with foreign governments.
It is said to be the President's view
that treaty relations with other na
tions might be embarrassed at which
is construed as a violation of the
Hay-Pauncefote convention were to
be Insisted upon by the United States.
Only England Protested
It was made clear, however, that
only England had protested. The
President told callers that Great Bri
tain through her representatives had
not approached the American gov
ernment on the question in any way
since Viscount Bryce left here a year
ago.
The President told callers he did not
intend to send a message to Congress

Furniture Sales
All over the continent Febru
ary Furniture Sales are going
on. If one could compute the
value of all the furniture that
will be sold this month and write
down the figures the total would
be dazzling.
Yet a few years ago little or
no furniture was sold in Feb
ruary.
It was one of the dullest
months of tho year.
What has made the difference?
Intelligent inerehnndlaing and
Intelligent advertising.
Just read over the furniture
advertising which appears In the
Telegraph almost any day this
month. It gives some Idea of
the aggressive and progressive
things that are being done.
It reflects the live, up-to-da e
energy of our merchants.
Yet this is only one day's story
of the advertising. Bach day It
has something new and different,
something of great Importance to
say.
Headers of the advertising in
the dally newspapers are the peo
ple who keep In the most Inti
mate touch with the world's
work.
