ALCOHOL IS NOT
CAUSE Of "HEAO"
ON THE NEXT DAY
Connecticut Scientist Proves
Whisky Bad Without
Such Contents. y

WATERBURY. Conn. April 1s.-Prof
D. D. Whitney. of Wesleyan Univer-
sity, where Prof. Atwater proved, by
putting students in a glass cage, that
alcohol is a food. has gone further. He
has demonstrated to his own satisfac-
ton that liquor Is just. as poisonous
with the alcohol taken out of 1t. More
over, he has learned that the French
mans claret and the Yankees cider
are the most poisonous of all.
Prof. Whitney discovered all this by
reversing a colloquialism and making
a fish drink like man. His announce
ment reads:
''The harmfulness of intoxicants is
not removed with the removal Of al
cohol from their composition. With
their alcoholic contents reduced to the
same percentage. ordinary cider and
claret are the most poisonous beve-
RACES and brandy, gin, and whisky
are the least poisonous"
Worms Die of Drink.
Or. Whitney studied the report Of a
committee of fifty experts on the liquor
problem. TIE committee said alcohol
was the only poisonous ingredient of
to the same percentage OF alcohol their
Injurious effects would be equal.
AS the victims of his experiment, Prof
Whitney used rotifers, small water
creatures which the dictionary says
have multitudinous ciliae on their heads.
Outside the dictionary they are fish
worms. The rotifers are all dead nov.
Hard drinking killed them. DIR. Whit
ney placed varying amounts of differ
ent liquors into the water in which
these ANIMALS lived and noted in what
percentage of alcohol they could live
thirty minutes, and in what percentage
they could live two or three days and
produce young. Tests were made with
wines, such as claret and sherry: with
malt liquors; with distilled liquors, such
as whisky, brandy and gin, and with
pure alcohol.
Claret Is Poisonous.
In experiments in which sherry and
claret was evaporated and the residue
put into water. It WAS found that these
two dealcoholized beverages were even
more poisonous than pure alcohol
In the summary of his report, Dr.
Whitney says:
THE results, perhaps, explain why
different alcohol beverages have such
different effects upon the drunkard,
even though an equal intoxication is
produced. II is generally recognized
that brandy produces a certain type of
drunkenness, and that cider produces
another type widely different Many
other liquors also produce a particular
type of drunkenness each. These types
are doubtless caused at least partly by
the non-alcoholic ingredients in the
liquor"

INSPECTION LAWS
HAVE DIMINISHED
BOILER TROUBLES
Greater Safety Secured for
Railroad Employees and
:. for Passengers.

The legislation by Congress last ses-
sion for the Government inspection of
locomotive boilers has already pro-
duced important results. according to
Herman z. Wills. of the Brotherhood
Of Locomotive Engineers Mr. wills
was in Washington much of the time
last session and was instrumental in
getting the legislation passed.
Mr.. Wills says that as a result OF
the enactment Of the law the railroad
managers have been giving much
more attention to the condition of the
locomotive boilers than they have
done in the past. This has been done
without waiting for the law. to go
into full effect.
The three chief inspectors who will
have charge of the administration OF
the law have been named. They are
and C. d. Robinson. They are now
engaged in getting up the require
ments as to civil service examinations
for the fifty inspectors who will be
named under the law,
Mr.. Wills says that in recent years
the competition between the big rail
road systems for business has been so
keen that the managers have had their
minds on only one thing-that is, to
haul the biggest loads with the least
outlay. They have neglected to give
due consideration 10 the safety OF loco
motive boilers and other appliances and
arrangements. The result has been
much loss of life among employees. Now
that their attention has been forced to
this question of safety of boilers, they
are endeavoring to enhance this safety
without waiting for Government inspec-
ton.
The next thing the railroad employees
are Interested in is legislation that will
require the railroads to leave certain
margins of space for safety to employees
along their tracks. Not the least i'm
portant phase of legislation intended to
minimize the loss of life to employees Is
that II reduces loss of life to passen-
gers This is especially true of inspec-
ton of boilers.

MAJORITY FAYORS
PROPOSED MERGER
OF CIVIC BODIES
Prominent Business Men
J. Say Consolidation Will
Soon Be Effected.

John B. Sleman. jr's morning mail
today swelled the total vote on the pro-
posed Chamber of Commerce. Board of
Trade merger to 423 The result so far
'is an overwhelming demand for the con-
solidation of the two bodies, the vote
standing 35 in favor, 90 against, and 6
undecided. A total of 1,2g1 members
were asked yesterday to express their
opinion on the question. A third of
them have already responded. and near
ly all of these are In favor.
The result of the canvas by mail is
very encouraging to the hackers of the
movement to effect at an early date
the combination Of the two big business
bodies of the District They feel today
that the actual merger will now lie
Drought about, that sentiment in favor
OF such action has SO crystallized that
the day for further delay has passed
The president of an affiliated organ
zation OF the Chamber of Commerce.
Joseph Strasburger. of the Retail Mer-
chants' Association. declared that no
further delay in bringing about the
merger should be brooked. He pointed
out the absurdity OF the present exist
ence OF two organizations by showing
that he Is not only president of the re-
tail branch Of the Chamber Of Com
merce, but that he is chairman of the
subcommittee on retail trade of the
Board OF Trades committee on indus
trial interests. and that precisely the
same questions in many instances come
before the two bodies and practically
before the same men. He (Strasburger)
pointed to this as an instance of the
absurdity of the present system Of do
ing things twice, at double expense Of
time and money, when half of it all
could be saved through the existence of
one organization
IF l were one of the men responsible
for bringing the merger thus prominent
ly before the attention OF the members
Of the Board of Trade and Chamber of
Commerce." he said. 81 would see to II
that nothing would now stand in the
wav of accomplishing the fact. The
matter has been talked over and over
and everyone seems agreed. Let the
thing now be. done"
Other prominent officials in both bod
les today are very optimistic over ac-
complishing tho merger within a short
time.

and Elections has served to bring to
light two interesting facts:
First. That the Privileges and Elec-
tions Committee will be stacked against
direct election of Senators.
Second. That the same committee at
the same time will be stacked in favor
of Senator Lorimer.
It is likely the test will come in the
Senate Thursday on the question .wheth-
er the resolution for direct election of
Senators shall be referred to the Judi
ciary Committee or to the Committee on
Privileges and Elections. The matter
was left hanging fire when the Senate
adjourned Monday. Senators who are
