Minneapolis, Dee. 30.-One dead
two seriously burned and fifteen or
more injured or overcome by smoke
is the result of the cutting of the Hig
Gins tenements on Minnehaha avenue
et 4.20 a. m. Twenty-seven families
were routed from their beds and sent
shiyering and half smothered into the
10 above zero atmosphere.
The fire started in the apartments
of Mrs. Lorraine Buckliff, in the mid
die of the big tenement, and spread
with wonderful rapidity. Mrs. Buck
lift was lighting an oil stove when an
explosion occurred, the unfortunate
woman receiving the full force Of the
flying flame and oil on her clothes.
Mrs. Mary Foley, who resided with
Mrs. Buckliif, attempted to save her
companion and in doing so received
injuries that may result fatally.
Residents of the neighborhood were
aroused by the explosion and screams
of the women and several men en-
tered the burning building and awak-
ened the inmates. A. V. Wells rescued
three children from an upper apart
ment, falling to the ground after
carrying out the last child and break
ing his arm. Stephen Lewis, barber,
was overcome hy smoke while engaged
in the work of rescue and was seri-
ously burned but will recover. Occu-
pants of the apartments lost every
thing they possessed in the way of
furniture and clothing and none car
ried insurance.

MEANS BIG SUM FOR STATE
Minnesota inheritance Tax Law Held
Constitutional.

st. Paul, Dec. 30-The supreme
court has handed down an opinion in
the case of Jesse Foot, as county treas
urer of Ramsey county, against Il. w.
Bazille, as judge of the probate court,
in which the court holds the in
heritance tax law constitutional and a
valid legal enactment.
Judge Razille held in the case of
the probate of the last will and testa-
ment of the late Paul d. Ferguson
that the law was unconstitutional.
The decision of the supreme court
is exceedingly important. For years
attempts have been made to frame
an inheritance tax law that would
stick.
The ruling of the supreme court at
once makes available nearly 100000
In inheritance taxes which have been
held up pending the courts findings.

AMERICAN BISHOPS PROTEST.
Pope Grants Audiences to Persons Not
Worthy of the Honor

Rome, Dec 30.-The Vatican au-
thorities have received remonstrances
from several American bishops against
the audiences granted by the pope to
Americans, who, in the opinion OF
these bishops, were not worthy of the
honor, which, it is added, created dis
satisfaction among the faithful.
The pope has also been informed
that among the persons presented to
him few days ago was an American
woman who had been divorced. This
irritated the pontiff, who declared that
such a presentation must not occur
again.
The officials of the Vatican are also
recalling that two Americans recently
refused to kneel when the pope ap-
peared and the persons having author
ity in these matters have been or
dered to be more strict in arriving at
decisions upon applications from Amer
leans for audiences of the pope. Amer
lean applicants in future must be rec
commended by their respective bishops
or have their applications supported
by a recognized official here.

HALF MILLION LIABILITIES
BOSTON BROKERS FORCED TO
ASSIGN BY THE ADVANCED
PRICE OF STOCKS.

Boston, Dec. 30.-H. r. Leighton &
Co, stock brokers of this city, as
signed during the day for the benefit
of creditors. The liabilities are stated
to be S500,000. The rising market is
said to be the general cause of the
suspension.
The firm was not a member of any
stock exchange but had branch offices
in various New England cities and
transacted a large brokerage business.
At the Office of the firm the state
ment was given out that the trouble
was due to the failure of member OF
the Boston exchange to meet his OBJ
legations and to the fact that money
could not be recalled at once on GER
tain outstanding investments.

TRY TO ARRANGE TERMS
LEADERS OF MOSCOW REVOLU
TioNIsTS WILLING TO CALL
OFF STRIKE.
DISORDERS EXTEND TO NEW PLACES
PROVINCES IN HEART OF GREAT
RUSSIA AFFECTED FOR THE
FIRST TIME.

st. Petersburg, Dee. 30.-The cor
respondent of the Associated Press at
Moscow telegraphs that the scattered
revolutionists there are only able tc
keep up feeble show of resistance to
the troops and the workmen's council
realizing that the revolt is crushed, is
negotiating terms for the strikers who
participated in the uprising with the
view of calling off the strike. Never
theless the radical papers of st. Pc
tersburg continue to infiame thei1
readers with stories of desperate fight
ing in the streets of Moscow, repre-
senting the revolutionists as being in
complete possession Of ten square
miles of the city, which the troops
with all their authority and machine
guns are unable to pierce. These pa
pers print columns of descriptive mat
ter representing the revolutionists
fighting valiantly behind barricades,
standing on heaps of corpses of their
comrades.
Although now it is only a question
of time when the flames of revolt will
be extinguished the Moscow revolu-
tionists have made good use of their
instructions to start fires elsewhere.
Rebels in Complete Control.
For the first time the provinces east
of Moscow, in the heart OF Great Rus
sia, are affected. At Zlatoust, a town
In the government OF Cofa, where
large government arms factory is stu
ated, the workmen seem to be in COM
plete possession Of the town. At Sa-
mora, near Nizhni Novgorod, also a
large manufacturing town, 10000 work
men rose and attempted to march on
Nizhni Novgorod, but We're met by
troops with artillery and were routed
with the loss of several score of men.
Eventually the worklnen were driven
back to Samora, where they erected
barricades which the artillery have
been firing at for two days. The
workmen used bombs freely at Sa-
mora, which is now separated from
Nizhni Novgorod, but a rising is ex-
pected at the latter place, which has
about $4,000 inhabitants.
The government has intercepted tel
egrams showing that the Social Demo
Gratis and workmen's councils have ar
ranged for armed uprisings at Kieff,
kazan and Krasnoyarsk and for
general insurrection in Poland, which
will be proclaimed Dec. 81. At Kief
and Kazan the authorities believe the
movement has been nipped in the bud
by the arrest of the ringleaders and
the seizure of arms.

original source. The cancer In the new
animal is simply an abnormal piece of It's
sue of the old animal retaining its original
habit and reaction in its new home. Can
GER in fact, is not an intruder from with
out, not an originally free livign animal or
plant which has acquired the deadly para
site habit. but is piece of the actual It's
sue of an animal that has acquired new
mode of growth. The most important prac-
teal side of this conclusion is the recogni-
ton of the non-infectious nature of the dis
ease. 1t Is true that surgeon might con-
ceivably succeed in grating piece of can
cerous tissue from one person to another.
just as he Is able to graft Il piece of skin.
But for practical purposes the disease is
neither infectious nor contagious and the
proceedings to be employed against IL must
be different from those found useful in
smallpox or enteric fever, and have
not to fear that somewhere amongst us. I'm

there are permanent foci of infection.
A second point of great practical and
theoretical interest that the investigation
has already established Is the relation OF
cancer to age. In the course of their work
the members of the scientific staff have
discovered that cancer exists In a. very
large number of different kinds of animals
In fishes. amphibians. reptiles. birds and
mammals. They have been able to show
that the death rates from cancer through
out the different forms In which It occurs.

an external parasite that has gained en-
trance to body. A single point will make
the difference clear. The same microbe
may infect many different kinds of organ
1sms, may appear in different phases and
give rise to different symptoms in the diff
ferent hosts. None the less Il retains its
identity as a separate organism. If 1t be
possible, and in the vast majority of cases
1t Is possible, to infect some animal with
microbe that has been obtained from
different kind of animal, then the disease
assumes the form of that found not in the
intermediate host, but In the new host The
disease may pass from creature to creature
in each case assuming so to speak, a tenn
porary garb which Is the effect of its re-
action to the tissues of It's host, but 1t re-
tains Its essential Identity as a specific
organism. 1t has been found possible to
graft cancer from one animal to another
animal. but the phenomena are very differ
ent. In the first place the transference can
be made only between animals that are
very closely allied; cancer behaves in this
respect, exactly in the same fashion as
graft of normal tissue or TRANSMISSION
of blood from one creature to another.
The allen graft or blood is killed In its
new surroundings: 1t can live only in sur
roundings biologically very closely akin
to those from which Ii originally came.
Next. when it has succeeded, It displays It
self merely as case of continuous growth:
It retains the habits and reactions Of it,

HUNTING DOWN CANCER.
Incessant Study Gradually Bringing
Us to It's Cause.

From the London Saturday Review
1t is evident from the second scientific
report of the Imperial Cancer Research
Fund that important progress is being
made. Gordon is slowly being drawn
round the disease: every method of inquiry
clinical, experimental and statistical-is
being employed. and If neither cause nor
cure has yet been discovered. the limits of
the area within which these will have to
be sought are rapidly growing narrower.
1t is now possible, with almost complete
certainty to exclude from future inquiry
the Idea of a specific infection. So many
diseases. the origin of which some half
century ago was unknown. have been
proved to depend on the Introduction into
the living body of a specific living para
site, some bacillus or protozoon. that the
tendency of inquirers has been to seek for
microbes in every case and there have
been innumerable reputed discoveries OF a
cancer bacillus The history of cancer, as
ii is now known. Is Homogeneous with the

greatly increase with age. If an animal.
like man. be long-lived, then there is
much higher death rate from cancer among
those who have reached the prime OF life
and have begun the descent toward the ces-
sation of vitality than among those who
have still youthful tissues. So. also, IN
the case of relatively short-lived animals,
such as mice. the young suffer much less
from cancer than the old. They are not
Incapable of suffering from It, for cancers
grated artihcially on young mice grew at
least well those grated on old mice
But cancer does not naturally appear In
the young. The meaning of this conclustosp
is made more clear by another set OF in
vessigations. The different tissues OF an
organism do not grow old at the same age:
some like skin, grow old very slowly;
others. such as some of the tissues connect
ed with reproduction. have much more
limited period Of normal life. The incidence
of cancer on the different organs and It's
sues of the body Is in close relation to the
relative ages of these tissues or organs.
1t seems, in fact. IL every organism and
every part of organism has Its period
of youth. maturity and decline. the length
of these periods being different In different
creatures and in different parts of the crea-
turs. A grated cancer will grow at any
age: but the tissues of themselves tend to
become cancerous in very markedly great
er degree after their inyolition O. declin-
ing period has set In.
