After II O'Clock many supporting or

The most influential factor in the mar

lative position of the Northern Securi-
ties group, resulting from Tie uiStilpu-

held in bulk by the Northern Securities

that he has almost certainly demons.

generation by virtue of the action Of
radium. He began ten years ago ex-

cytnogen, which Pfuger declared had the
elements of life. He tried to grow it
IN culture media without result.
Observing that radium had several
qualities Of cytnogen, he experimental

with sterilized bouillon, the ordinary
culture medium, in test tubes, and after
a day or two produced minute globular
cultures. Sub-cultures were made and
a high-power microscope revealed dis

dunno TO SEIZE CAR LINES.
Will Take Prompt Action When the
Franchises Expire.

Chicago, June 22.--The immediate
seizure of the street railway lines wher-
ever the franchises have expired, and
similar action in the future as fast as
later franchises run out, is the plan
of Mayor Dunno and his advisers in
traction affairs, according to reports
emanating from the city hall last even
ing Whether the city should seize the
tracks is question. The traction com
panies insist that the tracks belong to
the companies which laid them. The
city officials assert that the tracks be-
long to the city as soon as the franchises
expire, just as house belongs to the
owner OF the ground after a lease ex-
pires. Members Of the city council
local transportation committee are very
strongly opposed to this proposed move
by the mayor, and win fight any effort
he might make in this direction. CIar-
ence 5. Darrow, the city's special trac-
ton counsel, thinks the mayors scheme
a good one.

SADLY BOWS
To Dissolution OF Norway

SEPARATION ASSURED
His Pathetic Speech to the Riksdas
on the Bill for Terms
With the Storth-
ing.

Stockholm, Sweden, June 22.-The
government yesterday introduced a bin
in the Riksdag, asking authority to en-
ter into negotiations with the Norwegian
| Storthing to draw up conditional set
Element of affairs between the two ma.
lions, which were formerly united.
The Premier, in an explanation to the
Riksdag, declared that the interests of
Sweden would in no way be served bv
Iresorting to coercive acts in an effort 10
bring Norway back into the union. King
Oscar, who has been deeply affected by
the revolt of Norway from his rule.
made pathetic speech on the subject of
the dissolution of the union to the coun-
ell.
Speaking to the council, the King
said: 1t is painful step which the
Council Of State calls on me to take.
Ny conscience tells me that have dur
ing my reign always striven toward the
object | had in mind at the time of sue
cession, namely, the welfare of the
brother peoples.
1T is truly painful to me to CON
tribute to the dissolution of a union in
which / thought saw the independence,
security and happiness of the united
kingdom. If, however, l am ready to
act thus, it is in order to avoid worse
evil, and in the conviction that the un-
ion, without mutual concord, would
bring no real advantage to Sweden.
Il have acted in accordance with my
conscience and always in conformity
with the constitution. The bill present
ed to the Riksdag does not aim at reply.
ing to injustice by acts of coercion. A
union into which Norway would be
forced in such manner would be of
little value to Sweden"
The King concluded with expressing
the hope that God would give the Swed-
ish people strength and unity to regain
within their own frontiers what they
had lost by the dissolution of the union.
