OLD AGE IS CAUSED
BY FESTN- hICROBE
Paris Physician Advances Theory That
Action of the "MacrOphages"
Can Be Counteracted.

PARIS, July 2-In lecture on old
Age" delivered by DR.. Menchnikof
here, the speaker expressed the opinion
that senility was produced by certain
physiological conditions which cause the
benehcent species of microbes called
"macrOphages" 10 inrease too rapidly.
Then in their turn they become in
furious.
These parasites flourish In the large
intestine. which mammals possess,
whereas in birds 1t IS almost entirely
lacking. The result was shown IN the
person of the doctors own dog. which
was decrepit at eighteen, while the doe
tors parrot, aged seventy, appeared 20
the audience hale and lively.
1T stands proved, says the doctor.
that senility is an infectious disease,
and il should be possible to treat it Ike
other maladies-to cure II or prevent it. -
The hope was expressed by Dr.. Mench-
nikoff that a serum would shortly be
discovered to counteract the 'macro-
phages" and prolong human life; mean
time he recommended the consumption
Of curdled milk.

APPARATUS FOR MILKING
cows BY ELECTRICITY

A newly invented apparatus for milking
cows by electricity Is reported By Con
sular Agent Warner at Gera. Germany.
lie SAYS:
Rubber hoods are attached 10 the
udder Of the cow. These hoods are con-
nccted with a vessel for receiving the
milk By means OF a rubber tube, from
Nh.ch the air is exhausted by means OF
the electrical device. IL is claimed that
the suction thus secured resembles very
closely the sucking Of "A calf, and that
for this reason the cow lets down her
milk more freely than when MIXED by
hand
1T Is also claimed that absolute clcanli-
ness Of the milk may be secured when
this method Of milking X employed.

GERMANY BOYCOTTS
AMERICAN DENTISTS

BERLIN, July 2.-The last issue Of the
German Dentists Zeitung." makes an
nouncement of German imperial de-
cision, which viii prevent more than
400 American and foreign operative and
dentists from using the IL

All Americans who persist in placing
such titles upon their signs viii be fined

Want Protection.
The reason given for the unjust de-
cision Is that these titles are presented
in the United States by private institu-
tions, not conducted or watched by the.
State government for protection against
swindle and fraudulent diplomas.
For years the German dentists have
been trying to break the great reputa-
tion or American dentists ia Europe. and
to place their own college diplomas is
the foreground. but their intrigues and
Jealousy have been Of no avail until this

Direct Taxation.

In passing upon the second point Of
objection, that the acts provide for di-
rect taxation on the property and priv
ileges Of the people OF the District OF
Columbia. exclusive OF the States, and
are consequently repugnant to the con-
stitutional rule OF apporuonment. Jus
tice Anderson said that the objection
was not deserving Of serious consnlera-
ton for the same reason that. unless
the sums appropriated by the acts can
properly be said to be gratuities. Con
gress has unGoubted right TO tax the
people OF the District of Columbia, as in
is wisdom it may see fit. to pay some
part Of the expenses necessarily incident
TO the elimination of grade crossings, and
thus lcsscning the dangers TO which they
are subjected. lie said: This comes
clearly within the exercise of the police
power. and IS such an elementary propo-
sition that It would serve no useful pur-
pose to make any citation OF authority"

Opinion of Court.

1he opinion of the court dealt with all
the points which had been urged By
Willard against the consutuuonality OF
the acts.
Al disposiilg of the first point OF Oh
lection. that the several acts originated
IN the Senate. and not in the House Of
Representative. and must therefore be
held 10 be void because repugnant to
the Constitution. which requires all
bills for raising revenue to originate IN
the House of Representatives. Justice
Anderson said:
1t is manifest from a mere reading
of the acts that they are acts. not FOR
the raising of revenue, but for aboli-
ton of grade crossings The raising OF
revenus IS a mere incident 10 the carry
ing into eject of the main objects Of
the acts"
The decision OF the Supreme Court
Of the United States in the case OF
Twin City Bank VS. Nebeker. 167 L. S.
2o2, was referred 10 by the court TO
show that the term revenue blls' as
made use Of in the Constitution applies
only to those that levy taxes in the
strict sense OF the word. and not to
bills for other purpose which may
incidentally create rev ecae"

JOSIAH WILLARD
PROTESTS IN Vain
Justice Anderson Denies
His Petition.
OPINION OF EQUITY COURT
Would Enjoin Treasurer of United
States From Paying District
Money to Corporations.
OPINION OF EQUITY COURT

The protest of Josiah Willard against
the payment of certain money by Ellis
II. Roberts. Treasurer OF the United
States. and the District to the Phila-
delphia, Baltimore and Washington
Railroad Company. Baltimore and Po-
tomac Railroad Company, Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company, and the
Washington Terminal Company, for the
construction Of the Unions Station was
yesterday overruled by Justice Ander-
son, sitting for equity business.
The amount involved. which Mr.. Mi
lard sought 10 enjoin the Treasurer from
paying TO the railroad companies is
$4,000, provided for by the act of Con
gress making appropriation for the
building Of the Union Station.
In August last Mr.. Willard begun pro-
ceedings in the District Supreme Court
asking that rule should issue against
the Treasurer Of the United States and
the Commissioners requiring them to
show cause why they should not be re-
strained from paying over the money to
the railroads named and the Washington
Terminal Company. and also TO enjoin
the defendants from accepting the
funds This action was asked for by
the court on the ground that the act OF
Congress appropriating the money was
unconstitutional because it originated in
the Senate and also for the reason that
the construction of the Union Station
is private enterprise and 20 appro-
pirate public money for such use is
against public policy.
Mr.. Willard said after the decision Of
the court was auuostncod fl.of az. rr-r,f,fd

for the District and if necessary to the
Supreme Court of the United States.
Mr. Willard was represented by A..
torney w Preston Williamson, Mr.
Roberts by District Attorney Beach, The
District Of Columbia by Corporation
Counsel Duvau, and the railroad com.
panies by Messrs. Hamilton & Colbert.

Question Of Gratuities.

on the third, ard last, objection, that
the sums appropriated by the acts are
gratuities, Justice Anderson said:
Without discussing IN detail the vari-
Gus provisions Of the tgo acts Of 1901
and the act OF $685. IL Is sufficient 10 say
that they all have for their object the
elimination Of grade crossings in the
District Of Columbia. The two acts of
1901 provided for two separate terminals
in different parts Of the city one il
South Washington, and the other IN
East Washington, bat it was subse-
quently sought by Congress TO 50 far
modify these two acts rs TO make pro-
vision for one union terminal, since
by virtue Of the two acts of 1901 two
sections OF the District would be sub
iected 10 railroad uses and incumoered
with bridges and elevated tracks. Hence
the act of 1903 was passed"
lie then quoted from certain portions
Of the acts 10 show the consideration Tor
which the sums complained OF were APP
prOpriatcd according to the express
terms of the acts themselves, and said:
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1904-07-03

How can it, therefore. be seriously
commended that these moneys are APP
propriated for a private. and not a pub
lie or governmental use? 1t is purely
and simply a case Of legislation in the
nature Of the exercise Of the police
power OF the Government to pay for
safety given TO the people out Of the
taxes raised. All measures which have
for their object the safety of the lives
and health of the public come within the
police power.
1T would be idle to enter into dis
cussion of the many cases cited by
counsel for the defendants showing it TO
be entirely competent for the Legisla-
ture, under the police power, to require
the elimination OF grade crossings. and
10 cause the expense OF such elimination
TO be borne Ia such manner as In its
wisdom might be dictated.
