n enc were to ask number Of pay
sicians what problem most interests
the medical profession to-day. nine out
of ten would reply: The mystery Of
cancer" There are other diseases
which ere quite as hopeless as can
Ger. some that are more painful. and
some that cause more deaths; but
there is hardly another in the face OF
which physicians confess themselves
so helpless. In many directions. says
Youths Companion. the progress OF
medicine during the last quarter-cen-
fury. chiefly during the last decade,
has been marvellous. The discovery
that consumption is not hereditary.
and If taken in time may be cured;
the association of the mosquito with
malaria and yellow fever; the serum
treatment for hydrophobia and diph-
iberia; the isolation of the bacterium
of smallpox-these are all recent
achievements. Two great foes still
defy the doctors. One-pneumonia-
which ranks next to the great white
plague" In the number of its victims,
has lately been and still is the sub
ject of special study by an associa-
ton of American physicians; and
something has been learned about IT.
1t is known that 1t is a germ disease,
and that its characteristic microbe is
nearly always present in the mouth
and throat in a state of health; but the
knowledge OF these facts has not sug-
gested any effective way OF dealing
with the disease. Regarding cancer.
still less has been discovered; but in
many countries there are now special
laboratories, in which the minds of
the ablest students of pathology are
concentrated upon this one subject. In
these researches the United States is
bearing Its part. Not only are Ameri-
can physicians giving the subject their
closest attention as individuals, but
national association for the study OF
the disease has been formed, and spe-
cial cancer hospitals have been estab-
lished in several American cities. In
money. also. America is doing its
share. Mr.. Rockefeller's donations
have established an, American Patio
logical institute. where original re
search can be prosecuted by American
physicians; and Mr.. Carnegie's gener-
osity to a British laboratory has pro-
duced results OF great promise. From
one or another of these medical work
rooms may come at any time the joy
full message that cancer has been con-
Q-c=ed.

WILL PAY PROMPTLY.
San Francisco Encouraged by An
nouncement Of Insurance
Commands.

San Francisco.-Financia interest
to-day centered in the announcement
made b. the insurance companies that
they would soon pay losses of the fire
sufferers. II is believed that most of
the money will be put into general cir
culation and when it is distributed will
relieve the people of San Francisco as
no other means could.
This news was welcome. not only to
the policy holders. but also to the
banks that have been doing their best
for the public with the resources at
their immediate command necessarily
limited. II was official to the extent
that it was given to the subcommittee
of the citizens general committee and
duly reported at the general commit
tees daily meeting. The announce
ment was received with applause, news
from the insurance interests having
been awaited with much anxiety.
With their announcement that losses
will soon be paid the insurance inter
ests have made the concession that SAL
wage operations on property saved
from the flames can be proceeded with
with safety.
Policy holders may save anything
they can find without fear of risking
the loss of their claims for insurance
To a great extent the work of demol-
ishing walls and clearing away debris
has been postponed because OF the
doubt regarding the attitude the insur-
ance companies would take. The in
surance in the burned district is esu-
mated by the underwriters at $780,
900, 900.
At the meeting of the reconstruction
committee to-day a resolution was
adopted declaring that The wages for
public and private employment at or
binary and unskilled labor should be
$3.50 for nine hours. The resolution
was adopted. This rate has been fixed
by the Building Trades council.
Employers, pay your men some
thing at least daily. so that they may
be able to pay for their meals" is the
request made to-day by General
Greeley.

road Officials,

St. Louis.-Trafic officials of ST
Luis railroads and officials and en-
ployes of the Standard Oil and of the
Waters-Pierce Oil Company have been
subpoenaed to testify before the Inter-
state Commerce Commission in Chi.
cago May 10th regarding the special
rates and rebates enjoyed by the
Standard Oil and its subsidiary com.
panies throughout the West Follow.
ing are the points which the federal at.
torneys expect to bring cut in their
investigation.
First-That Rockefeller. who owns
Standard Oil, also owns a controlling
interest in many of the railroads of the
West and Southwest. being thus both
shipper and common carrier.
Second-That various alleged indie
pendent oil companies in the West
and Southwest are merely the Stand
ard Oil under other names.
Third-That the Standard was given
lower rates than other oil companies
and that the railroads paid to tho trust
the differences between the low .ate 1t
paid and the higher rates paid by its
rivals.
rourth-That these favors were OBJ
tanned partly through the fact that
Rockefeller owned the railroads as well
as the freight. and partly through fav.
ors shown railroad officials who have
the power to q ant rebates.
In all, siXty-five St. Lousians are
wanted TO testify at the hearing
Among these are officials and clerks OF
the Frisco. Burlington. Missouri Pa
cific. Wabash and Chicago. Peoria &
ST. Louis railroads.

CUTTING RATlONS

Number Fed Will Decrease from Now
on-No Run on the Banks-Tryins
to Prevent Drunkenness.

San Francisco.-With the increasing
severity of the regulations surround
ing the bread line" General Greedy
has hopes of soon eliminating from the
relief lists large percentage of the
people who are now receiving free
food supplies. 1t is becoming more
difficult every day for able bodied men
10 secure their army ration. When a
healthy appearing man presents him
self for food he is frequently con-
fronted by an offer of employment
and II he refuses to engage in the prof
fered work he is denied relief.
All the women must prove beyond
doubt that they are in need of assist
ance. Tickets, good for only a few
days food, are furnished them and at
the expiration of the privilege they
must again demonstrate their desti-
tuition before aid is given them. AL
ready there is big decrease in the
daily output of supplies and the on
cials expect that by June LIST their la
bors in this direction will practically
be ended 1t is anticipated that when
the savings banks are opened fer pay
ments TO small depositors there will be
further lessening in the number Of
the men and women who are now
forced to ask for their SUPPLIES from the
stations.
The sale of liquor in neighboring
COUNTIES is causing San Francisco po-
lice much trouble. Since the saloons
have been closed here, drinking places
have been established just across the
county line in San Mateo and the sa-
looms of Oakland across the bay have
recently been allowed to resume bust
ness. The result has been that thou
sands of idle men are visiting the re-
sorts and returning here much the
worse for liquor. Chief of Police Di
nan to-day issued an order that all per-
sons from outside points under the in
fluence of drink be turned back on a
return journey, and he detailed fifty
men to enforce his ruling.
Reporting for the finance committee
Mr.. Phelan announced that the outside
subscription for May 9Th amounted to
s1G5,190 and $10,500 from local
sources. This sum added TO the total
previously reported, and $4,000 un-
confirmed. makes a grand total of s4.-
$4,000. This did not include $500, 900
now held by the chamber of COM
merce of New York city awaiting the
plan for rehabilitation of San Fran
cisco. but it did include s250,000 al
ready given and reported.
There is now at his command in the
mint s1.246,i91 and in various banks
or in process of collection s1,067,1s
or total of s2,213,Gs0.
The bankers say that under normal
conditions the banks could not be
more prosperous than they are at pres
ent. The expected stampede for funds
has not materialized. and the deposits
exceed the disbursements. The limit
upon checks is still maintained, but
there is scarcely any demand for ready
money.
