DISCOVERY Of THE GERM
OF |NFANTlLE PARALYSIS
Announcement by Rockefeller
institute Director at Meet
ing Of Physicians.

BALTIMORE. Nd, March 15.-The an
nouncenent made to an audience of medi-
cal men here last night by DR.. Simon
Flexner director OF Rockefeller Institute
OF Research, New York city, that HE has
found the germ which causes infantile
paralysis, has aroused the keenest inter-
est among scientists and local physicians
eminent in their profession, who regard
it as one of the most important discov-
cries of recent years.
Statement by DR.. Flexner.
DR.. F'Iexner, who stated that the or
ganism was one of the smallest which
cultivation of it the use Of medium
freed from oxygen had been found nee
eesary, and that because it could grow
only in the absence of oxygen 1t would
never be found in blood or in any cavity
containing oxygen. In the cultivation OF 1t
tissue infected with the virus was placed
in a receptacle from which the air was
drawn by means OF a vacuum pump, and
under the resultant condition the virus
was propagated.
Dr. Flexner, referring to a treatise by
Dr. Rosenau of Washington, setting
forth the discovery that Infection with
infantile paralysis was caused by the
stable fly. said that in his own research
he had not been able to establish the fact
that infection is caused by the fly, though
he had no doubt that DR.. Rosenau had
done SO.
Result of Experiments.
In the course of his experiments, he
said, he had employed for observation
other insects which were allowed to bite
monkeys infected with the disease. and
had found that the insects thus became
infected with the germ and retained 1t
for a period Of eight days, but he had not
succeeded in injecting monkeys with the
disease by having them bitten by insects
so infected.
The discovery of a serum for the cure
of the disease is looked upon by medical
men here as practicable and possibly
early to be accomplished.

BELIEVED WILSON Is EVOLVING
POLICY OF FRIENDLY NON
INTERFERENCE.
TO HEAR BOTH SIDES FIRST
President in Conference With Mem
bers of the House Military Affairs
Committee Discouraged Idea Of
Making Plans For Volunteer Army.

Washington.-Whil President VIII
son has not yet announced the policy
which he thinks the American govern
ment ought to pursue toward Mexico
there is every reason to believe he Is
evolving a plan of non-interference In
the internal affairs of the Southern
republic. "a
Two incidents emphasized the trend
of affairs toward an attitude OF fr1eno-
ly non-interferenee. It became known
that the President in conference with
members of the house military affairs
committee had discouraged the idea OF
making preparations for a volunteer
army. Likewise Secretary Bryan's re-
quest for an appropriation of 100000
with which to transport destitute
Americans from Mexico in emergen-
cies developed a feeling in official cir
Giles that the American government
would endeavor in any crisis to re-.
move Americans expeditiously from
the trouble zones.
This procedure, it Is felt, would
minimize the chances for international
difficulty as any destruction of prop
erty would be cared for through in
Identification and there is every indi-
cation incidentally that the Wilson ad-
ministration will pursue a vigorous
policy toward recovering damages to
foreign property in Mexico.
With Americans out Of Mexico, or
at least out of those parts where
chaos may develop, the United States
government would feel less respon-
siblity for the progress of events
there and would assume the role Of
an observer rather than a participant,
the latter position being one which,
despite strong efforts from many
quarters, it is fairly well determined
President Wilson will not counter
nance.

CORPORATION COMMISSION SAYS
SOUTHERN EXPRESS. co.
OWES BIG SUM.
TELLS HOW IT CAME ABOUT
The Assessments Were on Gross Rev
enue and the Transportation Elk.
penses Were Deducted From This
Company Owes $2o,o41.s2.

Raleigh.-The corporation commits
sion has issued an order against the
Southern Express Company directing
that company to pay Into. the state
treasury $20,01432, balance of state
tax on gross revenue of the company
under the revenue act for the years
1909, 1910, 1911 and 1912. The com
mission finds that the Southern Elk
press Company deducted from Its
gross revenue the amounts paid to
the railroad companies for transpor-
tation charges before figuring the
franchise taxes to the state, which
the act provided should be two and
a half per cent for 1909 and 1910 and
three per cent for 1911 and 1912, this
tax to be on the gross receipts on
business within the state.
The balances of franchise tax held
to be due by the corporation commits
sion for the respective years are:
1909, $3.,716.25; 1910, $4,213; 1911,
$5,5O9.71; 1912, $6,575.36, these
amounts giving the total $2O,014.32.
The express company reported its
gross receipts, including amounts paid
for railroad transportation, to the
corporation commission in due form,
but deducted the railroad charges be-
fore reporting to the state treasurer
for tax payment. The corporation
commission contends that if the ex-
press company has the RICH to make
such DEDUCTION, 1t might deduct other
expenses before getting down to what
it's gross revenue would be, and in
sists that the figures on which the
company paid taxes for these years
were nearer net revenue than gross.
If some railroads, says the commits
sion, would arrive at gross revenue
by deducting expenses of transporta-
ton they would show no gross revenue
whatever.
The commission insists that the
position of the express company is
untenable.

BOND ISSUE SELLING SLOWLY,
BUT STEADILY AND Is HALF
GONE.
DEFICIT is HELD INTACT
No Progress is Being Made In W'P'ns
II Out, But the Corporation Tax IS
Expected to HeIp.-in Good Con-
dition.

Raleigh.-State Treasurer Lacy Is
finding a slow but steady sale for the
state bonds that failed to find bidders
last June, and he believes that ne
will have sold the entire issue or 81
142,5OO bonds by the early spring OF
1914. Thus far nearly 100000 worth
has been sold. The bonds were TO
take care of the $659,221 deficit of the
state that existed last March, and to
provide for the permanent improve
ment appropriations for state institu-
lions made by the legislature at the
last session. Of course, since the
failure of the bonds to find purchasers
the old deficit is being held intact by
short-term loans and the proceeds
from the bonds sold are applied to
taking care of the most urgent per-
manent improvements at the state in
situations.
The corporation commission as
state tax commission, has not re-
ceived enough of the county tax as
sessment returns for the 1913 tax
listing to form any comprehensive
idea of what will be the status of
the tax values under the new listing.
but it looks like there will be mate
rial increase. The commission Is
just on the eve of taking UP its an
nual task of assessing the taxes on
corporations throughout the state
and the net result of this work, which
will require a couple Of months. will
have a very important bearing on
the states financial problem. Treas
urer Lacy is making strenuous ef-
forts to see that the state license and
pecial taxes are paid in full.
While there is no hope of wiping
out the states present deficit, and
some estimate that there may be ad-
ditions of 100000 a year added for
the next two years, there are those
close to the affairs of the state who
really anticipate that when the net
results of the new. revenue act and
the new tax-listing and corporation
assessments are rounded up and the
revenue from these are in hand the
state will be in good condition.
