rem II. Lewis and his wife, Mrs. Mar
garet Reed Lewis, the former an asso-

fluid of known chemical composition.
DIR. Lewis has been experimenting
on the chick in the embryonic condi-

has finally succeeded in proving that
it is possible to cause the growth of
cellular substance, Of which all ami
mails and plants are made up, in
saline solutions without the aid OF
nourishment. The cells, it Is be-
lieved, make use of food stored up
within them.
This is considered a remarkable
accomplishment for which scientific
men have striven for years. 1t was
not until about 1880 that the cell
theory was discovered, and since that
time there have been many new de-
velopments. The theory up to the
time of DR.. Lewis discovery was that
animals and plants generate from pre-
existing cells and do not rise spon-

orally been accepted. The object DR..

Refusal of Board to Rent Fair
Grounds Skaters Plan.
NO OTHER PLACE AVAILABLE
Feared That 1t Would Reduce the At

Which Will Be Held in Mil
Waukee This Fall.

Madison.-But for the state board Of
agriculture, Milwaukee would have an
aviation meet this summer. Arrange
ments had almost been completed
when the whole plan was shattered
by the refusal of the board to rent the
fair grounds for the meet.
The Milwaukee Aero club, pioneer
of the two local aeronautic organiza-
tons, opened negotiations early in the
summer for a meet Glenn H. Curtiss,
the well known aviator and aviation
meet contractor" is the man with
whom the negotiations were carried
on.
The contract had been drawn up,
and the only things remaining to be
done before it was signed were to Sc
cure the signature of Mr. Curtiss and
to engage the fair grounds, the men,
bers of the club having assumed that
there would be no difficulty in the way
of securing them.
They were told, however, that mas
much as it is intended to give an avi-
alton exhibition at the fair this year,
the board would not rent the grounds
for the meet for fear that it would
tend to reduce the attendance at the
fair.
In vain the officers of the club point
ed out that the holding of the meet a
few months before the aviation exhibit
at the fair would have the effect of
arousing interest in the sport, and
thus increase rather than decrease
the attendance at the fair. They called
attention to the experience of other
cities, where the first meet held has
been comparatively poorly attended,
while succeeding ones have gained
steadily in attendance. The board was
obdurate.
An effort was then made to find an
other place to hold the meet. A suf-
ficiently large fenced-in area could not
be secured, however, and the club was
obliged to call off the meet.

The State Liquor Dealers conven-

of this amendment, which provided
that no persons may be members of
the association except owners of retail
saloons. This shuts out all brewers
or their representatives from mem

the representatives of the brewers
who were delegates.

NO SURE MERGER SAVED FIRM
KNEW NAUGHT OF WHITE HOUSE
FARLEY UNTIL PAST.
Schley of Moore G. SchIey Is drilled
by Congressional
Probers.

New York, Aug. 3.-When Judge Ell
bert H. Gary and Henry c. Frick, of
the United States Steel Corporation,
took a midnight train from New York
during the financial panic of 1907 to
see President Roosevelt in Washington
about the taking over of the Tennes-
see Coal e Iron Company by the Steer
of the brokerage firm of Moore &
Schley, Grant B. Schley, one of the
most interested participants in the pro-
posed transactions, knew nothing about
the White House expedition.
Mr. Schley, who was one of the or
ganizers of the Tennessee Coal & Iron
syndicate and it's associate manager.
so informed the house committee OF
inquiry into the affairs of the Steel
corporation. He further surprised the
committee by the admission that he
could not say whether the transfer OF
Tennessee Coal & Iron stock, on which
the brokerage firm had made heavy
loans was the means of preventing the
financial demise of the brokerage bust
ness.
Though denying any knowledge of
the existence of an alleged conspiracy
on the part of J. Pierpont Morgan and
his interests, or the United States
Steel Corporation, or both, to discredit
Tennessee Coal & Iron stock so that
the Steel Corporation could acquire
the vast holdings of ore and coal in
the Birmingham district; Mr.. Schley
averred that when the transfer of Ten
nessee stock to the Steel Corporation
was suggested, coming as it did upon
a bad money situation in New York,
he had pictured to G. w. Perkins, a
member of the finance committee OF
the Steel Corporation, how Tennessee
Coal & Iron would be of enormous val
ue to his corporation; how it's vast ore
and coal holdings were invaluable, and
how it's acquisition would enable the
corporation to enter the southern steel
market actively.

Intercepted Mr.. Schley for hours and
was followed by Representatives Stan
