EXPLANATION OF BREACH GIVEN

Following reports Of a split on the

There is no truth in the report of a
division OF opinion among the members
OF the omcial board of the National
American Woman Suffrage Association, q
report which doubtless originated in dif-
ferences between the o1icers of the ma
tional association and the officers of the
Congressional union. The Congressional
union Is not at the moment even q
member Of the national association, It
having resigned as an AFFILIATED member
and has not yet been elected as an
AUXILIARY member of this association.
The last convention Of the associa-
ton left II to the board to appoint q
Congressional committee. II was i'm
possible to induce the members of the
old committee. now constituting part Of
the executive committee of the Congress
sional union. to work under the direction
Of the national board. The board insist
"a that the Congressional work in the
States should be carried on through
existing suffrage organisations and that
IL should be nonpartisan; In this re-
spect the board differed from the repre-
sentatives Of the union. Then. since
there could be no common policy to the
same end the board was obliged to ap-
point q new Congressional committee"

LIFE IN INORGANIC MATTER.
So Says Harvard Scientist, Startling
Savants.

Baltimore, Jan. 19.-Before a distin-
guished group Of scientists in the Johns
Hopkins physical laboratory this even
ing, DR.. L. ]. Henderson, Of Harvard
University, asserted that researches ex-
tending over many years had convinced
him that inorganic matter contained
latent life. Before the surprised savapts
had recovered from their astonishment
he added that he believed this latent life
became active under certain conditions
and that soon the line between the two
would be crossed.
Just as important. if not more 30, than
the missing link between the lower ami
NAL life and the human life Is the con-
Meeting link between matter that Is
wholly inorganic, wholly passive. and
that which is active and organic. DR..
Henderson believes that he Is on the way
to fnd that missing link. He believes
that the dividing line between the thing
that lives and the thing that is but does
not live will soon be established, and that
he will be able to demonstrate the proc
ess of transition between them.
