ORIGIN OF INFANTILE PARALYSIS
is TRACED TO THE BARNARD

ST. LOUIS, July 29.-A demonstra-
ton Of his theory that infantile par
alysis was originally disease Of fowls
and is transmitted to children by the
larvae Of the fly, was today presented
to the st. Louis Medical society by DR..
F.. w. Saunders. The theory, which
was originated by DR.. Saunders. was
accepted by many of the physicians
who heard him.
It was the elimination Of months

DR.. Saunders first called attention 10
that fact that infantile paralysis, which

Extent of Business.
THE 240 legal reserve companies
in this country last year had assets
of over S4,l64, 100000, which is about
four times the amount of our national
debt. If We could gather in this room
today every penny, five. ten. twenty
five and fifty cent piece. every silver
and gold and paper dollar that is in
from California to Maine. we would
find that all of this would lack S50A,-
100000 of equaling the assets of the
life insurance companies in this coun-
try. The annual income OF the life in
surance companies last. year was more
than $SS6,000,o0, One-half of this
amount is spsnt for candy each year
in United States. which Ia more money
than the federal government collects
each year, exclusive of the postoffice
department which Is not considered

paid out last year s579, 100000. and
still had on reserve for. the security
of policyholders s3,645, 100000 and
surplus in addition Of over a half
billion. Over two billions of new in
surance was written last year, maxi
ing the total amount in force over
eighteen billions. The business Of life
insurance has doubled in nearly
every department in the last eight
years and grows stronger and stronger
with the increase"

GUIDED, THE COURT WILL
DEVOTE TODAY TO HEAR
ING ARGUMENT.

The judges of the State corpora
ton commission learned more about
electricity and high power transmits
sion lines yesterday than they could
hope to acquire in q years course
from a correspondence school. The
information concerning kilowatts,
volts, amperes and other things was
disseminated by experts called to
Richmond by the Virginia Railway
and Power company TO testify in the
complaint brought by citizens OF
Chesterfield county against the power
company.
The suit. filed with the commits
sion some months ago by Chester
fieldians, seeks to have the Virginia
Railway and Power company remove
the high power transmission line from
Richmond to Petersburg which the

entire day, and was resumed yester-
day, the examination Of witnesses be
ing concluded at 4:30 O'Clock. The

AS on the previous day, except for
the verbal complaints Of the Ches-
terfield citizens present, the testimony

experts occupied the stand the entire
time of both morning and afternoon
sessions yesterday. The witnesses
were Superintendent T. =. Sampson,
Of the Southern Power company, the
big Duke hydro-electrical develop
rent, who makes his headquarters
in Charlotte, and z, W. Sotham, of
New York, probably the best known
electrical engineer In the country.
These men told the commission OF

under their supervision and from
their testimony the counsel for the
power company sought IN show that
