The day should come, according to eminent British zoologists, when science will be able to determine and to control the power of growth. The interest taken in this subject was shown by the numerous audience which attend ed a lecture on intersexuality before the British Association by Dr. F. A. E. Chew. Dr. Chew is the scientist who last year reported the result of some re markable experiments during which he changed hens into crowing cock erels. The continuation of these ex periments, he said, had resulted in the complete reversal of the sex of hens and cockerels. But his lecture this year dealt chiefly with goats. A case was krtown to him, he said, of a goat which had won prizes when an immature female and which came later to assume male characteristics and in behavior was a male. v "I believe," he said, "that an animal possessnig the functions of the female can undergo such a com lete transformation as to function as a male."

The woman told, a '.physician site was the 'aged healer's nurse and that She was leaving to visit u spiritualist in St. Louis county, Mrs. Agnes Schlatter, a lecturer for a church publication, came hero from Kansas City, Mo., last night ami de clared she iH'lievfd her husband bad. nu t with foul play.

Mrs. Schlatter said she had been wait iitj; several days for him, in Kansas City, whence they planned to go to Salt Lake City, where Schlatter was to'enter the church . The la milady at the rooming house told police that the woman with Schlat ter gave her name as Mrs. Madelynf Mack and on another occasion she said she was Mrs. 'Schlatter.' A death certi ficate was withheld until the' coroner's jury could determine cause of death.

LLOYD GEORGE IS FIRM Key to the Problem Will Revealed at Unionist Meeting. Be LONDON, Oct. lit. (l$y The As sociated 1'iess.; The Driusli political lever has now reached its licigut and there is every indication Hint tno maxi mum temperature will be maintained lor some days. very body is guessing us to when the crisis -will pass and what turn it will take, but the answer is as yet unreveaJed and the future remains obscure pending ' tomorrow 'n unionist meeting at the Carlton' Club," which is expected to give the key to the j'ro''lem. One uuti-eoaatioii iiewspuper, the Dany Mail, today attributes to l'rime Minister Lloyd (j corgi) the definite statement that he will resign oflicc if tho uuiouist meeting declares against AiiHtcn Chamberlain, . whose outspoken adhesion to tho I'reinicr has aroused strong opposition in the party ranks. Mr. Lloyd George.'s statement is said to have been iiiade at a private meeting last night of the liberal ministers and undoi'-secletni ies. None of the papers nearest the premier,- or any other, con firms this or professes to know exactly what .passed ut the meeting, although all agree that Lloyd George received general cordill support. Whether or not the l'riem made the declaration attributed to him, some of the best informed political correspon dents believe be, will resign if Mr. Chamberlain is voted down, ut the Carl ton Club. It would then be lip to the King, it accordance with political pre cedents iu this country, to invite tho conservative party to try its hand at forming a cabinet. . If, ou the contrary, the meeting gives Mr. Chamberlain anything approaching strong support the i'remier, u is reiter ated, will advise the king to dissolve parliament,' and, this being done, will appeal to the i-ouutry on' u coalition ticket . Thus, if these prophet be correct, the dissolution of Parliament semes iiu iiiiuiit in either case, as it is not sup posed the conservative could carry on without the prominent und tried lead ers who would quitjho government with Chamberlain if he resigns. Among the other reports published by the morning papers is one to the effect that tho ministers started new efforts yesterday to ensure postponement ot tho general elections uutil January, prompt ed, it is said, by fear of a complete split in the conservative party, fcucli a con tingency, however, seems almost invi- table to the disinterested observer, and one of tho surest prospects of the pres ent ferment seems to be a new align ment of parties which will obliterate some of Britain's oldest political land marks.
