DEADLY GERM DISCOVERED.
Claim of Berlin Scientist to Be Inves-
tiaated by Others.

Paris. Dec. 19.-The bacteriologists
connected with the Pasteur Institute
and germ specialists throughout France
have begun a series of careful expert
ments to test the justice of the claim
of DIR. Siegel, the Berlin bacteriologiat,
who has just startled the scientific
world by the announcement that he
had succeeded i'm discovering and iso-
lating the germ OF the hoof and mouth
disease one of the most dreaded
scourges of cattle. 1t had always been
the opinion of scientists that the germ
OF that terrible disease could not be
isolated because II was so small that
it passed through every kind Of filter.
Or. Siegel has named the bacillus Cy-
torrhytes and is so confident of his
discovery that he has tailed his repu-
tation as a scientist upon the. truth of
his statement. French scientists are
INCLINED TO be skeptical In the matter
and are awaiting corroboratlng re-
ports.

LEGAL Oath TO
BE SIMP[IF|ED
COMMITTEE ACTING ON BURTON
BILL WOULD OMIT 80
HELP NE GOD" AND
SWEAR"

Washington ID. c.. Dec. 19.-The bill
recently introduced by Senator Burton
of Ohio which proposes to change the
form Of oath in Federal courts and
elsewhere under the jurisdiction of the
United States is i'm the hands of the
judiciary committee Of the Senate and
Ia now being considered with a view OF
early action upon the subject. The bill
of which Charles j. Bonaparte. the
former Attorney General OF the United
states, and DIR. Ira Remsen. president
of Johns Hopkins University are the
sponsors, does not contemplate to
change the religious character of the
oath. The principal change which 1t
proposes is the omission of the express
sion $50 Help Me God" at the end OF
an oath and the substitution Of prom
Use" or declare" for the word swear
in the formula
Since the Introduction Of Senator
Burton's bill the attention of the ju-
dietary committee has been called to
the fact that several of the most prog
ressive countries of Europe have ma
terially changed and modernized the
ancient and antiquated forms OF the
oaths used in judicial proceedings. Nc
country has as yet gone quite so far
as Switzerland, the small but highly
advanced Federation which more than
any other country recognizes and
vouchsafes absolute freedom Of belief
and conscience.
As early as 1877, several Cantons OF
Switzerland. among them the Canton
of vaud. appreciating the incongrui-
ty of a religious form of oath under
so thoroughly liberal n constitution as
that of the Swiss Federation, eliminat-
ed the religious features of the oat
altogether and changed 1t to more
solemn pledge. 1t was found, after
number of years. that the change ol
the form. OF oath had a tendency e
weaken it's binding force and this logi'
cally led TO the suggestion to abolish
the oath in judicial proceedings alto
gether.
The Cantons OF Zuerich and Aargal
took the radical step of entirely abol
ishing the oath several years ago ant
the result has been SO satisfactory tina
there is no desire TO return to the ol'
system. When the Great Council o
the Canton OF Vaud at its late session
considered the draft of a new Civi
Code the abolition of the oath in an!
form from judicial proceedings wa
strongly urged and, after an interest
ing debate. a provision abolishing tn
oath was Incorporated in the new code
which will go into effect on Januar
| 1, 1912.

Rayner.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN TODAY
Senate is Expected to Ratify Step
Taken by Taft.
House Will Waive TAchnicaities So
Termination of Agreement Can
Be Brought About.

Washington, Dec. 19.-The Russian
treaty abrogation matter was taken up
by the Senate with the expectation of
the ratification of the presidents noti-
fication to Russia before adjournment
today.
Sulzer announced the House would
waive any technicalities in order to

Rayner Makes Stirring Aprsal.
A stirring appeal for the termination
Of the treaty Of 1892 with Rus
sia because OF determinations against
American citizens of Jewish faith i'm
connection with passport privileges
was made by Mr. Rayner, who is
member of the Senate committee on
foreign relations.
He argued that the treaty admits of
but one Interpretation and that Is that
citizens of the United States shall
have the same rights in Russia that
Russian citizens have within the
United states.
He said It was an American ques-
ton, not religious one, and that 1t
had now been settled I'm incident after
incident that no American Hebrew can
pass the frontier of Russia. He re-
ferred to proceedings in the French
Chamber of Deputies where the same
question has arisen with Russia and
Russia was made to yield. After dis
cussing the law i'm detail Mr.. Rayner
said:
There is no other remedy except to
terminate the treaty. We must submit
or give notice to terminate. Ii would
be cowardly act TO surrender. The
night of barbarism must close so fan
