MAYOR GAYNOR TAKES QUIET
 FLING AT ANDREW CARNEGIE

"I have had to explain the matter in Europe by giving my personal experience, and several times I have intinated to my legal advisors here that ] might have se- rjously to consider fixing my residence elsewhere Gas many do, though still re- 1iding here) not to escape taxes, but to lispel the general impression that l was not obeying but evading the personal tax law.
 But it is important that the masses un- derstand what millionares do. We must Justify our existence. By all means let our city real estate be taxt heavier or the needed sum raised otherwise, and the per- sonal tax be abolisht as incapable of just assessment or collection"
 Mayor Gaynor replied in part as fol- iows:
 Your letter is one of many, but the cDly one expressed in the new smpliied spelling. l felt 'compelt to differentiate you in that respect. But what of the fate df Roosevelt when he tried to make other people try it, yea or nay?
 "Of course ] have no wish to advocate anything contrary to the intelligent will of the community. If it calls for the re- real law now I shall have it prepared and sent to Albany. Or maybe a law giy- Ing us local option in the matter would be more prudent"

Albany, N. Y. February 13.-A strong hope of curing cancer, or at least greatly ameliorating the condition of cancer pa tients by means of inocuation is held out in the report of Harvey R. Gaylord, di- rector of the cancer laboratory of the statts department of health at Buffalo. This hope is based on extended experi- ments during the past year in the inocu- laticn, or vaccination of various animals mainly rats, with the cancer virus.
 "It appears said the report, that where the resistance of the animal is not sufficiently awakened by one inoculation of the tumor, this resistance can be heis htened by repeated doses, and in a considerable proportion of cases. immun- ity can be raised to point which will bring about a cure. It is needless to point out that this process Of repeated vaccination, which has cured in the pro- portion of 25 to 40 in rats. might well be applied to these cases of late cancer in

AsQUIYH SILENT
 ON HIS POLICIES

London, February 13.--Runlor is busy witf the prime minister's visit to the King at Brighton on Saturday, but Mir Asquith went immediately for the week. end into the country and neither the names of the new ministers, nor any thing authentic regarding the govern ments policy has been allowed to leak out. It is believed that final decision will be taken when the premier com net council tomorrow. It Is said, how ever, that at the last moment, Mir As- quith yielded to the extremists and the Redmondites and, on the ground that a discussion of the address and the budget would postpone the question of the veto of the House of Lords until after Easter. has consented to introduce the veto bill before the budget, even though this course endangers the budget and may bring about another general election in a few months.
 A significant statement was made last nighs by one of the liberal whips, J. M r. Fuller, who in speech at Towbridge, admitted that within the last three days difficulties had arisen which made it quite possible that the House of Com mons would reject the budget. They did not know what attitude the Nationalists might assume, he said, and it was quite possible that they might within a few months have to fight another general election on an issue of supreme impor- tance to the democracy of the country
 According to the latest report, Winston Spencer Churchill will succeed MT. Glad stone at the home office, Augustine Bir- rell and John Burns retaining their pres- ent posts, as chief secretary for Ireland and president of the local government board, respectively.

Prices have been crumbling in the south as well as in the north and the Steel corporation has been prompted to place supporting contract for 35,OO0 tons of standard bes- semer iron with the Bessemer Pig Iron Association for shipment during March, April and May. The output of pig iron and steel ingots in January by the Steel corporation was a little less than In De- cember Sother steel works increased output Production by merchant inter- ests was slightly less than during the preceding month. Furnaces in the south are carrying heavy stocks. The unified orders of Virginia furnaces are less than one-half of the stocks on furnace banks

Managua, February 1S.-President Mad rig and members of the government are seriously concerned over the recent report of the taking of Matagalpa by the insur- gent general, Chamorro, but whatever they have learned concerning the details of the revolutionary movement in that district, they have not permitted any of the facts to leak out preferring appar- ently to stand on the first announcement that the government troops had with drawn from Matagalpa and that there fore no resistance was altered to Cham OTTO and his men, This has given rise to various rumors that the government is making an attempt to surround General Chamorro, who, unless his progress is stayed, is likely to reach Managua within a short period.

New York, February 13.-Andrew Carne- sic has written Mayor Gaynor in simpli- fled spelling, commenting the mayors recommendation that the personal prop erty tax be abolished, and relating his own experience as a tax payer on $5,000,- tvO. The mayor, still bent on his little qup, nudged MT. Carnegies spelling, and replies that his serious purposes must be guided by the will of the community. The correspondence was given out by the -layor tonight. MT. Carnegie wrote in Part as follows:
 As a contributor to the personal tax I venture to thank you for calling atten- Lon to the folly and injustice. Every year communications appear in the press de- bouncing rich citizens for defrauding the city by paying only mere fraction of t,eir personal property. Few understand that the law only requires individuals to pay upon what they are assesst.
 Speakers in New York every now and and then held me up for reproduction be- fore audiences, because I only paid upon S, s,0oo, 900 of personal property, seemingly ignorant of the fact that this is all the law requires. It is the assessment made py the commissioner.

is to the effect that the Wall street in- terests who are opposing the measure have about concluded that the House or ganization cannot longer help them and are now depending entirely upon the Senate to kill the bill.

BRITISH DIPLOMATS

London. February 1s.-America is gaining considerable experience of the delays of British diplomacy, particular ly in matters in which colonies ere in terested and have to be consulted The replies to two proposals of the state department, these suggesting the call ing of conferences on the opium ques- tion in the far east and for the regula- tion of sealing in the Pacific are being held up by India and Canada, to which they were referred by Great Britain.
 Another cause, the general election and consequent pre-occupation of the members of the cabinet, is responsible for the delay in replying Q M Knox's proposal that the international prize court, established by The Hague con ference, should have its powers en- larged, so as to become a permanent court of arbitration.

STRONG HOPES HELD OUT OF
 CURING DANGEROUS DISEASE

human beings in which surgery has noth- ing to offer and the outlook is hopeless.
 'As we strongly urged the legislature in previous reports, the time has come when we should begin experimental work with human beings. To do so it is nec- essary that number of patients should be maintained for this purpose. Funds sufficient to enable us to maintain ten patients is the least amount which can be of value if this work is to be under taken.
 Other investigations of importance con- ducted by the laboratory have had to do with the prevalence of many forms of cancer in fish and the possibility of in lection by human beings. It has been found that cancer of the thyroid in par ticular Is of frequent occurrence in fish of the trout family.
 Tt is a very remarkable coincidence" says the report. that the area of the United States which includes the greatest concentration of human cancer cases is almost identical with the area through which the various members of the trout family arc distributed"
