The railroad committee Of the senate
yesterday had hearing on the Dill
to give the railroad commission au-
thority to direct the railroads to make
excursion rates TO the fairs. This was
resisted by the railroads. The arsu-
ment for the law is that the railroads
have virtually placed the fairs OF Iowa
on blacklist and will not grant them
rates which are granted for other pur-
poses or IN other states. 1t Is also con-
tended that the railroads would really
profit by the reduced rates and NOT
suffer. There is no doubt, and this
fact was. shown the committee. that the
state fair has suffered from the fact
that reduced rates which had been
granted for many years have been
withdrawn in recent years.

REPRESENTATIVE YOUNG
RESIGNS FROM HOUSE
Michigan Lawmaker, Against Whom
There ls . Contest, Gives
Up Fight.
TELLS HIS COLLEAGUES GooD-BY

Representative H. Olin Young of Michi-
gan, Republican, surprised the House
yesterday by announcing, after a speech
reviewing the contest filed against his
election by William ]. Macdonald, Pro-
gressive. that he had sent his resignation
to the Governor Of his State to take i'm
mediate effect and had also fled a copy
of the resignation with the Speaker.
Mr.. Young related that the circum-
stances which brought him to the action
of yesterday had been long and seriously
considered by him. He had taken but
two other men into his confidence-it later
transpired than one of those confdents
was Republican Leader Mann of Illinois
and the step was taken without preju-
dice to any one or in favor of the con-
testant, but in order to clear the way for
the quick consideration of the merits
of the contest by the House. Then Mr.
Young bade farewell to his colleagues Of
the House expressing to both sides, with.
out division of sentiment his sorrow at
the enforced course
The contest against Mr. Young hinged
upon the misprinting OF Mr.. MacDonald's
name on the ballots used in Ontonagon
County, Mich. There were ass of these
ballots cast for Sheldon William J.
Macdonald. Throwing out these ballots
as defective gave Mr.. Young a plurality
of 215. Counting them for Mr.. MacDon-
aid gave Mr.. Macdonald a plurality of
243. Every citation of the Michigan law
covering similar cases backed up the
contention of the election examining boar1
of Michigan that Mr.. Young was elected,
and the Governors certificate was given
him.
Following the resignation of Mr. Young,
Representative Murdoch of Kansas, the
Progressive leader, recited the course
OF the Progressives in the contest case,
and managed to get into squa bible with
Representative Fitzgerald of New York.
who referred sneeringiy to Mr.. Muir
docks Chautauqua lectures. Mr.. Fitz-
gerald said:
The gentleman from Kansas is ere
ating an uproar of enthusiasm around
the Chautauqua circuit telling how he
sat all night in his Office on the evening
of March II, 1909. and watched the light
in the offic of Speaker Cannon, where L
was engaged with Mr.. Cannon and the
other standpat leaders of the Republican
party, plotting to grab control of the
House of Representatives for the old
standpat machine. Mr.. Murdock's de-
scription is graphic and is warmly ap-
plauded. 1t has only one fault 1t is
not true. I have taken the trouble to
investigate and ! want to tell the House
that the Speakers room in the Capitol is
not visible from Mr. Murdock's office
by night or by day, either"

continued:

Marshall Among Missing.
When the Committee on Military AZ
fairs arrived at West Point on board
the Aston yacht Mona it was minus Vice
President Marshall, who was scheduled
to be the guest of honor at the War
Academy. AS far as the committee
knew, the Vice President was lost. AS
a matter of fact, the Vice President was
attending a meeting of Maryland school
teachers in Baltimore, but Mr.. Astor and
ais guests did not know it
And because MIR. Marshall was missing
and. moreover, he sent no word of his
whereabouts, fear was entertained that
he had viewed with unfriendly eyes the
fact that the Senate committee had left
Washington half hour before scheduled
time. Maj. James Otis Woodward, who
accompanied the committee, says that
notification of the change was given,
hut that some of the members of the
House Committee on Naval Affairs failed
20 get the notice.
1t was expected that Vice President
Marshall would leave Washington late
Friday night and board the yacht Mona
at New York. But when a half dozen
messages failed to elicit an answer from
him the quest was given up. and the
Mona proceeded up the Hudson.
1t was declared by one of the Senators
that the committee would recommend to
Congress that the cadet corps at West
Point be enlarged by additional yearly
appointments of 800 more youths.

DIR. NOVEL; TALKS
OF CANCER SERUM
Does Not Make Claim that Discovery
Is Cure, but Says 1t Alays

Boston. May lO.-Dr. Howard w.
NOVEL;, of the Boston University School
of Medicine, consented to discuss today
for the first time his experiments with
an anti-cancer serum. Since the an
nouncement a few weeks ago that DR..
Nowelrs experiments had shed new
light on the treatment OF cancer, the
eyes of the entire world have been CEN
tired upon his work.
DR.. NOVEL; reported that fifty patients
have been treated with the serum.
That in every case the pain has prac-
tically ceased within forty-eight hours.
That some Improvement is apparent in
each case.
DR.. NOVEL; does not make any claim
that he has discovered a cure for can
Ger. His serum, he believes, may lead
to important discoveries, but at present
II is in the experimental stage, and he
does not feel that the time is ripe for
publication of its composition.
The first noticeable thing about the
treatment" said DR.. NOVEL; tonight, lis
that it has resulted in the relief from
pain in all the cases under care. Some
have varied a little in the length Of
time required to relieve the pain, but
relief has always occurred within forty
eight hours OF the first treatment. and
thus far the suffering has not returned
in any case. From the beginning of my
treatment no opiates are used. and every
relief has been due apparently to the
action of the antitoxne.
"All the patients had been relieved
of pain before the second treatment. and
while they do not show a great improve
ment some improvement is apparent in
each case. This Is indicated by demand
for more food. more ambition to get up
and walk about. and a general sense OF
comfort"
In 1901. there were Nl71 deaths from
cancer in the United States: In 1911 there
were 44,024. Most of those who died
were elderly men and women averaging
fifty-nine years of age. Cancer is one
OF the greatest medical mysteries OF
the world today. So far the only rem
