NEW LIGHT ON CANCER

Especial Gable 10 The Tribune. ]


London. July 21.-New light of the
cancer by the work Of the Imperial
Cancer Research Fund during the year.
At the annual meeting Of the Fund yes
terday Sir William Church. the eminent
physician. announced that the relation
ship that cancer bears TO the animal
which il affects is an individual one. In
plain words cancer is not catching. The
report OF Dr. Bashford, general super
fully demonstrates that it is wrong to
make statements Of a disquieting nature
about the increase OF cancer.
In general cancer is caused by the
chronic irritation Of any particular part
Of the body. Thus in Tibet. malignant
growths on the abdominal wan are
caused by continual wearing of vessels
containing hot charcoal. and in the
cancer. in China men are exceedingly
Liable 10 cancer of the gullet. but in
women the disease is unknown. the rea-
son being that the men bolt rice when
f. is hot, being served first, while the
women have to wait and then the rice
is cooling and non-irritating.
1t was disclosed that small progress as
yet has been made In the experimental
laboratory in com batting the scourge.
Sir William Selby Church. president Of
the Royal Society of Medicine said that
methods for preventing the successfuf
implantation Of cancer had been tested
on mice affected by spontaneous cancer
and had given mo evidence Of power
either to hinder the growth and the dis
semination Of the disease or 10 prevent
recurrence of spontaneous cancer after
the removal Of the primary tumor.'
Some methods by which other investi-
gators claimed to obtain immunity
against propagated concer with vaccines
and serums had been tried in the labora-
tory, but the results had not yet been
successful. The experiments of DR..
Bashford afforded evidence that the can

selves after the meeting OF the Soaro
of Estimate yesterday as satished
that the city was going to do business
with the 3. r. r. on all the lines so
long as no acceptable agreement hao
been reached to have the INTERIOR

ment to make II was evident that,
while he was glad that the INTERIOR
ouch proposition had been beaten, he
did not relish the fact that his advice
as TO not dealing with the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit Company on the pro-
posed terms had been ignored.
Controller Prendergast said: 81 am
bound to be pleased with the action
taken to day. Frankly would have
been better satisfied il il had been
possible to divide the routes between
the Interboroueh and the B. r. 7.
The conditions on which the INTERIOR
oueh based its proposal prevented
this. Tho adoption Of the corporate
stock budget report and the approval
Of the Lexington avenue contracts
will assure tho completion OF that
line in time for it to be included in
the new system"
President Mitchell said: This means
the end Of delay and tho digging Of
subways. There should be no further
causes to delay matters. X is a mat
ter Of great satisfaction to mo that
there is to be none, as believe.
Whatever else may come, there is to
be no hitch in approving the con-
tracts for tho Lexington avenue
routes. Personally would have been
glad to have given the lnterboroueh
a share on the new lines, but the In.
terboroush would not be reasonable"
Chairman Wilcox said: 81 would
have been glad to have seen the terms
Of the nterboroueh accepted, and had
that company take it's part in our
carefully worked out scheme. AS tho
Interborough's terms did not prove
acceptable to aiority Of the Board
Of Estimate, believe we should do
the next best thing, and go ahead with
