nized that expedition is necessary If maxi mum results are to be obtained should there be another outbreak of the fever next summer. No attempt will be made to divest any state of any of It's consti- tutional rights or powers for the efforts of Congress will be confined to providing the best possible machinery for the keep ing out of the disease at the ports and the prevention of the spread of the in- lection from one state to another in case if should develop again. In addition. it is hoped that provision may be made which will enable the marine hospital ser vice to render local assistance whenever requested by the local authorities, similar to the splendid assistance rendered New Orleans last summer.
 Mir. Williams has made an exhaustive study of the subject and is convinced no sound argument can be brought against the proposed programme. that the only opposition to it will come from people who do not understand the importance of the mosquito dogma and the urgent necessity for many radical changes in the methods of fighting the disease as shown by recent discoveries and experi- ences-Surgeon White actually invited all yellow fever victims outside of New Dr. leans who could not get proper treatment at home to come to New Orleans, and more than one hundred came in, were treated in the New Orleans hospitals un' der the new methods and in no case did secondary infection develop from any of them. Dr. White says this again proves the correctness of the mosquito dogma of transmission, for 1t shows that where the health authorities have knowl- edge of a case of fever and see that 1t is properly screened no one else can con- tract the disease from that case. Hun dreds of non-immune nurses lived in the New Orleans fever hospitals for two months and not one of them had the fever-but then. not one of them was stung by a mosquito during that time, be- ing in screened hospitals. The education al work done by the marine hospital surgeons has been far teachings. and It is hoped that this important work which will eventually prove the bulwark of the south's defense against yellow fever Will be provided for by the present Congress for through education alone can every city, town, hamlet and state in the south by brought to a proper realization or the importance of proper health laws ana the proper enforcement of them.

OLD BELIEF ATTACKED
A NEW SOLUTION OF EVOLUTION
: OF OUR SOLAR SYSTEM.

CHICAGO, August lila Places ring"
creation OF the universe. which has stood
service for more than a century in the SCI
entifc world, was torn to pieces yesterday
by Prof. F. R. Moulton of the University
of Chicago, who believes that he has made
the real solution Of the evolution of our
solar system. Assisted by Prof. Thomas c.
Chamberlain. head of the geology depart
ment, Professor Moulton has been working
for more than four years to disprove the
ring" theory and to set up what he terms
the Spiral theory. The results of their
researches were made known yesterday in
a lecture THE Evolution of the Solar
SYSTEM" delivered by Professor Moulton.
The Ring Theory.
THE ring theory was brought out by
La Place in 1906 and has been accepted al
most universally up to the present time'
said Professor Moulton. The theory which
Professor Chamberlain and myself hold is
the spiral theory. We believe second
sun-a disturbing summoned down near
our sun and caused our sun enormous
tides thousands of miles high. The tides
were similar to the tides of the sea One
tiue was at the point nearest the disturbing
sun, and the other tide was on the opposite
side
THE matter shot toward the disturbing
sun. Ordinarily it would have been straight
up, but the disturbing sun moved around in
an elllptical sort of orbit. Consequently all
the masses thrown off were in a spiral d.
rectlon, one after another, which accounts
for the orbits of the planets
The swollen masses were attracted to
the large nuclei, which made them into

NEW MAYOR 70 RHAVANA.
Senior Bonachea is Installed by Execu
tive Decree.

In accordance with the pact arranged
Tuesday between the moderate party and
Gov. Nunez the nationalist leader, Presi-
dent Palma tonight issued a decree pro-
claiming Senior BonaChea mayor of Ha-
vana The decree overrules Bonachea's veto
of his own election and its ratification by
Gov. NuneZ.
Senior Bonachea. who has been acting
mayor since the removal of Juan Francisco
OFarrill took as a ground for his veto the
fact that he had not received a majority of
the votes cast by the city council. the two
other candidates having jointly more than
he. President Palma's decree. however
holds that the military order under which
the veto was made had no application In
this case. which should come under another
law entirely.
The decree does not take the subsequent
count. Nodarse, who belongs to the presi-
dents party, declined to relnquish his claim
10 the mayoralty, so that ii became neces-
sary to install the Nunez candidate through
q decree, thus ending the controversy, which
has been going since President Palma
ousted Mayor O'Farriu
The combination of moderates and ma
tonalists now hope to retain control OF Ha-
Yana city and province.

tcaly without debate, passed bill today
for the liquidation of the remaining half of
