STATION CAR LINE BILL
MAY Be AGREED UPON

While some progress was said to have
been made by the cOnferees on the
trackage bill at their meeting yester-
DAY, II cannot be said that the extern
sion Of the street railway tracks 20
Union station is by any means out Of
the woods
one OF the House conferecs said after
the meeting vat no progress had been
made. On iH2 Senate side. however.
there was more optimistic feeling.
and It was stated in one authoritative
quarter that there had been progress.
and while no agreement is In sight
there Is reason 10 believe the next
meeting will put a radically different
phase on the situation, with prospects
for an agreement.
The plan for compromise whereby
the street railway systems will be. put
under the control Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission has not yet been
abandoned. II is being considered. and
some Of those most interested deem il
possible a compromise viii be patched
up along this line.

Objects of Society.

The declaration Of principles adopted
by the meeting takes the ground:
That nothing can be held TO advance
the condition OF humanity that guilds
IN what IS of lesser consequence by
tearing down what IS OF immeasurably
greater consequence.
That since the discovery Of anaes-
thetlcs all agCEizing experimentation on
animals is violative Of this fundamental
law, and IS both morally wrong and
practically unnecessary
That even should measurable advan-
tage to the human race apparently come
from such experimentation, the cost
would be too great to be compensated
for by any purely physical benefit re-
ceived; the cost in the long agonies
inflicted on our helpless fellow creatures
of the animal kingdom; cost IN the loss
10 our race of the finer qualities Of
heart and mind which our civilization
has been so long in building up, and in
the consequent brutalizing OF our people.

or from the standpoint that there
