Flexner Transfers Vital Organs.
A paper recently read before the
American Association For the Adj
vancement OF Science in the Universe
ty of Chicago reveals the fact that DR..
Simon FleXner of New York city has
succeeded in transplanting arteries
from enc animal to another success
fully. The experiments have thus far
been confined exclusively to the lower
animals, but the favorable results in
this field are believed to point the way
to a successful application of the prac-
tice to human beings, and predictions
have even been made that a similar
process could be applied to the lungs
liver, kidneys and other parts Of the
body, substituting healthy animal it's
sue for unhealthy human tissue.
To Explore South America.
A party of Boston scientists under
the direction Of George Melville Boyn-
ton has organized an expedition to ex-
plore the wilds Of South America. A
Gloucester fishing vessel has been
hc;.ght and will be christened the Dis
covery. There will be about thirty-five
men in all, and the trip is expected to
last five years. Operations will be con-
fined chiefly to the unXeplored regions
south Of the Amazon river. but the ex-
petition will eventually follow the
Amazon to its source and cross the
Andes. coming out at Punta Parma,
Peru. In the party will be botanists,
mineralogists. ethnologists, taxider-
mists and photographers.

Roosevelt Brownson Controversy.

Roosevelt Brownson Controversy.
The action of Rear Admiral Brown
son in resigning his post of chief Of
the bureau of navigation drew from
the president letter addressed to Sec
rotary Metcalf, in which he plainly
showed his irritation and even indigna-
ton at Brownson's course. The pres
late bureau chief in rendering his res
ignation because he did not agree with
the president and the department re-
garding an order issued before he came
into the bureau as to the control of the
hospital ships as "unseemly and i'm
proper and coupled with the various
controversies among the officers of the
navy and their adherents as to details
OF naval construction and methods of
training has undoubtedly been preju
dicial to the interests of the navy and
may seriously impair the confidence In
the navy, which is essential to secur-
ing the legislation which is so sorely
needed by the navy" He further says
that there is no room for difference
of opinion as to the gross improperly
of the admral's conduct in resigning
sooner than carry out the orders Of his
superior officers in such matter. The
officers of the navy must remember
that It is not merely childish, but In
the highest degree reprehensible, to
permit either personal pique, wounded
vanity or fractional feeling on behalf
Of some particular bureau or organiza-
ton to render them disloyal to the In
terests OF the navy and therefore of

warehouse receipts IN order to make
advances to the farmers. 1t is believed
that the loss of the independent pro
ducers exceeds that Of the trust to
which they have sold tobacco Gov
ernor Wilson says that these raids will
make it harder for the growers to get
living prices; will shake the faith of
the people in the protection of the laws
and will force capital and valuable i'm
migration to shun Kentucky without
the least chance of helping the men
who formed these conspiracies. Fur
Their, lie declares. it means the peniten-
tiary for these men and for their dupes
and that there can be no possible hope
that the Kuklux Khan can govern
Kentucky. Russelville is n town of
5000 inhabitants, thirty-one miles from
Hopkinsville the scene Of the last big
raid.
Powers Jury Disaerees.
The jury in the case of Caleb Powers,
charged with the murder of Governor
Elect William Goebel of Kentucky,
failed to reach an agreement and was
discharged. The jury stood ten for ac-
Quittal and two for conviction. Judge
Norris set Monday. July 6, as the date
for new hearing for the accused. The
jurors who stood for acquittal signed
a request to Governor Wilson to re-
lease James Howard, who is serving q
life sentence for completely in the Goe-
bel murder. The jurors say that the
testimony introduced in the late trial
entirely innocent.
New Jersey Railroad Tax Valid.
The New Jersey cSart of errors and
appeals has affirmed the constitution
ality of the Perkins main stem railroad
tax act thus putting upon railroads
the burden of taxation at the average
tax rate" of the state, payable upon
assessments made by the state board
Of assessors. This means that the rail
roads of New Jersey must pay about
400 per cent more taxes, an increase of
about $2,500,OOO on main stem prop
crty.
Pettibone Not Guilty.
The trial of George A. Pettibone at
Boise City for the murder of Governor
Steunenberg ended in verdict of not
guilty and was followed by the dis
charge of the prisoner and the drop
ping of the case against Charles A.
Meyer, president of the Western Min
ers' federation. The only persons now
held for the Steunenberg murder are
Orchard andFSimpkins.

the country as a whole" The presi-
dent states that there have been so
much misrepresentation and exaggera-
ton that he wishes the secretary to
make HIN a statement as to the exact
facts concerning which there has been
dispute and particularly wishes him to
get the opinion of Admiral Converse,
who until last spring was chief of the
bureau of navigation and whose high
professional standard Of conduct and
knowledge render him peculiarly fit to
give judgment.
The day following the publication of
the above letter the president gave to
the public the letter of Admiral Brown
son resigning his position as bureau
chief. This letter is dated Dec. "a.
After referring to the honor conferred
upon him in appointing him to the post
he was then holding he intimates that
his usefulness in that position will be
Impaired by the lack of confidence
shown in placing q medical officer In
command of a hospital ship contrary
to his advice, a course which he con-
siders CLEARLY opposed to the intent of
the law, n radical departure from es-
tablished naval usage and fraught with
danger to the efficiency of the fleet"
In view Of this he felt that there was
no alternative but to tender his resig-
nation.
Doctor to Command Relief.
BY direction OF the president Secre-
tary of the Navy Metcalf signed an or
der directing Surgeon Charles f.
Stokes to take command of the hos
pital ship Relief. This is the last step
In the controversy which resulted in
the resignation of Rear Admiral Brown
son from the Office of chief of the bu-
reau of navigation. In connection with
this action the president transmitted
to the secretary letter defending his
course and citing the precedents in the
American and other navies for such
procedure.
Taft Urges Higher Pay.
In his annual report Secretary of
War Taft presents figures showing a
rapid decrease in the strength of the
regular army in recent years, the net
loss last year being no less than 4,42S
men. The secretary declares that,
while many reasons have been adj
vanced in explanation, sufficient one
is to be found in the inadequacy Of
army pay. He recommends the adop-
ton for the army Of the navy system,
under which the president is author
lied to fix the rates of pay within de-
fined limits, as a means of obtaining
better discipline and a higher eff
cheney. He also recommends the crea-
ton of a general service corps to re-
lieve the soldiers of the vast amount
Of unmilitary work they are now called
upon to perform. In his opinion the
military service should be so attractive
and desirable that it will not be diff
cult to get and hold the class Of men
needed for the enlisted personnel. The
estimates for the support of the mill
tary establishment during the next fis-
cal year are $11, 1881 greater than
last years appropriations. BY far the
greater part of the increase Is for coast
defense works.

Just been completed ut Syracuse. 1t Is

Rockefeller to Chicago.


A belated New Years gift TO the
University of Chicago was that of So
1900 from its founder, John u.
Rockefeller, making a total of $23, 000.-
900 that he has given to that institu-
dion. This places Chicago third among
American colleges in point of endow-
ment, Stanford being first and Har-
ward second.
Decision Against Fraternities.
The stand taken by the Chicago
school board forbidding the members
of secret fraternities in the schools to
take part in literary or athletic con-
tests has now been upheld by the ap-
pellate court.

Augusta and induced them to sign q
pledge not to raise any tobacco this
year and to hold their 1907 crops. The

other features of the present naval ad
ministration. One clause of the act
which explains its character, says: "Of'
ficers in the various staff corps OF the
navy shall hereafter have actual rank
and title as now established. This pro-
vision shall In no case carry with 1t
command over any vessel Of the navy
department, but such command shall
be exercised only by line officers"

for which Admiral Brownson contend

president led to his resignation from

letter of regret, in which, after eX-
pressing his interest In the success of
the party, he said, "Our country needs

Bryan Hailed at Chicago.
Jackson day at Chicago was a far
different affair from that of the New
York gathering. There the banquet
given by the jefferson club was the
scene of Bryan love feast, in which
GOO Democrats cheered riotously the
words of the Nebraskan. Most Of the
speeches lauded President Roosevelt as
the man "who had appropriated the
Bryan platforms and made them popu-
lar with the people," All pleaded for
harmony for the approaching triumph
under "the leadership of the matchless
Bryan" In his speech Bryan called the
Republicans "the party of the aristo-
Gratis" which sees every measure of
law and policy from the viewpoint of
plutocracy. He described the Democ-
racy as "the other 100000" All
they needed to do was to convince the
people that the Democratic party is
democratic.
Taft on Labor lnjunetions.
Secretary Lewis Of the Ohio Fedora
ton of Labor has received a letter
from Secretary Of War Taft replying
specifically to four questions of inter-
est to labor, as follows: First, that he
sees no objection to a law restricting
or defining the power Of the courts to
issue injunctions and specifying the
language in which they may be franz
ed, but he points out that such laws
generally are the province Of the states
and that federal law would not apply
beyond the jurisdiction Of the federal
courts. Second, he sees no objection to
a provision that no restraining order
shall issue except after notice to de-
PENDANT and hearing. as he believes
that the purposes of a strike and strik-
ing men may be entirely lawful. Third.
as to the fixing Of certain limit Of
time in which to hear application for
injunctions he believes that this is nee
essary except where the power of issu-
ing eX parte injunctions be retained In
the court. He admits that the issuing
of ex parte DEGREES has in the past CIV
en- rise to ABUSES and injustices."
Fourth, he does not deem it unreason-
able to have provision giving the per-
son charged with contempt in violation
of. an injunction the right to object to
a hearing by the same judge who is
sued the injunction. These views he
expressed in a speech at New York
Jan. 10.
Foraker Rejects Taft Plan.
The Ohio Republican committee at
its recent meeting decided to give the
members of the party an opportunity
to express by direct vote their choice
for a presidential candidate on March
IL, when delegates to the Republican
state convention will be selected. Sen
ator Foraker has issued statement
declaring that he will not abide by this
action of the committee.
