MAY PREVENT CANCER.
Discovery Which It Is Believed Will
Insure Immunity,

NEW YORK, August 16.-The Rookie
feller Institute announced yesterday
through the Academy of Science at
Washington a discovery by two of its
Investigators whereby immunity from
cancer, it is hoped. may be obtained.
The investigation was conducted by
Drs. James B. Murphy and John J. Nor
ton over period Of two years. They
discovered that in the white lymph
cells of the blood there are the neces-
sary factors in making animals i'm
mune from cancer. A decided increase
of the white lymph cells gives abso-
Lutte immunity, the physicians declare
they ascertained.
The Investigators treated several
mice with serum of lymphoid tissue.
and say the number of white lymph
cells in the animals almost doubled
within few days. The increase of the
cells can either be natural or through
the injection of lymph tissue. 1t is
found also that two kinds of animals
and humans were immune from cancer
those naturally immune and those in
whom immunity was induced through
the previous injection of the lymph
tissue.

LONDON, August 16. 1855 a.m-Miners
meeting at various places in the south

resolutions expressing dissatisfaction
at the delay in completing a new wage

The south Wales coal strike was sup

that time that the terms of settlement
granted substantial increase in
wages to the men and involved conces-

outer trench the British have estab-

sisting Of two short sectors. Back of
the southernmost of these sectors lies
another trench. serving, evidently. as a
support to an artillery redoubt located
on the summit of Cape Ari itself. This
may be called the center of the British
position, though the left flank of the
British consists of a single short trench
on a hill about 400 yards north OF the
extreme point of the northern sector.
The British right flank. or southern

NATIONAL EDUCATORS
IN SD CONVENTION
Representatives From Twenty-S Seven
Foreign Countries on Hand for
Opening Session.

OAKLAND, Cal, August 16.-Every
incoming train and steamer continued
today to increase the hosts OF dele
gates that have gathered here for the
hfty-third annual convention Of the
National Education Association, and 1t
was estimated that 10000 were on hand
for the opening session. Representa-
tives from twenty-seven foreign coun-
tries are expected to participate in the
.thirteen-day convention. The National
Council of Education. the international
kindergarten Union, the American
other allied organizations will meet in
conjunction with the parent body.
Politics. it was apparent today, would
claim the interest of many delegates
until the fight for the presidency of
the National Education Association is
settled next THURSDAY: The leading
candidates are Miss Grace Strachan,
Brooklyn. n. Y. and David B. johnson.
president of the Winthrop Industrial
and Agricultural College of South
Carolina.
Speculation was rife as to which of
the candidates, DR.. David Starr Jordan,
chancellor of Stanford and president
of the association, would support. 1t
was assumed that the delegates from
the south would favor Mr.. Johnson, and
that the eastern delegates would lean
toward Miss Strachan. A nominating
committee was TO be appointed today.
Atlantic City After 1915 Meeting.
Atlantic City, n. j., is being urged by
energetic campaigners for the next

Gov. Hiram W. Johnson was to vel

Mrs. Philip Snowden of London. were
other speakers on the program OF the
opening session.
Representatives of the various foreign
countries were to be heard at the aft
ernoon session, which was to be devot-
ed to a review of educational progress
since 1900. Among those who are ex.
pected to deliver addresses are Prof. F.

THE British and French have been

in men rushing a trench silently with
bayonets fixed. Noise has stimulat-
ing effect at times. while its absence
acts in an opposite direction" he said.
The afternoon was made interesting
by visit from a British aeroplane
which dropped three large bombs.
Throughout the day the sniping from
both trenches continued. A Turkish
battery on the British left flank added
to the picture by taking a pot shot at
some part Of the opponents trenches.

What Allies Had Planned.
The Galiipoli campaign plan Of the
allies, according to officers of the Of
toman army. was to take the forts
guarding the entrance and lower
reaches of the Dardanelles. For this
purpose landings were made at Kun
Kale, Sid-el- Bahr Ari Burnu and Kaba
Tepe. Essad Pasha is of the opinion
that of these only Kaba Tepe was
feint. insisting at the same time the
assertion of the allies that the Kun
Kale landing had also been a sham
maneuver is due to the fact that the
allied troops could not keep the
ground they had taken there. The
landing at Ari Burnu was intended as
flank attack upon the Ottoman
forces opposing the allied troops set
ashore at Sid-el-Bahr. BY occupying
the narrow part of the peninsula be-
tween Ari Burnu and Maidos. the Aus
tralians and New Zealanders now
hemmed in at Ari Burnu were also to
cut off the land line Of communications
of the Turkish troops at Sid-el-Bahr.
Meanwhile the troops landed at Sid-el-
Bahr were to advance north and in so
doing take the Turkish forts on the

Large Forces on Frontier.
Reports that the Germans and Aus

at from 100000 to 100000 men along
the Serbian frontier preparatory to
campaign to crush the Serbians and
open a way for the shipment OF mu-
nitions to Turkey, have been received
from various sources in the past week.
There have been several clashes be-
tween the Serbs and Austrians on the
frontier in the past few days, but
nothing to indicate that Serbian terri
tory has been invaded.
Belgrade was occupied by the Aus
trians, after a siege December 2. 1914.
but was reoccupied by the Serbians
twelve days later, following a herce
battle. The recapture of their capital
by the Serbs was followed by vic
torious campaign, which cleared their
country of invaders. Until few days
ago the Austrians made no further at
tempts to crush their small neighbor,
and the intervening time has been oc-
cupied by the Serbians in reorganizing
their forces and preparing for a re-
sumption of military activities.

ISLAND WHARF WILL
NET CITY BIG GAIN
Bowman Points Out Financial Ad-
vantages;' Means Ultimate Re-
.moval of Market St. Dock

How Harrisburg will be the gamer
financially by leasing the less than
half an acre of the Island shore to the
Harrisburg Light and Power company
for GOAL wharf, and provide way
for the eventual elimination OF the
unsightly landing at Market and Front
street, was pointed out to-day by City
Commissioner Harry +, Bowman, su-
perintendent of public safety.
The ordinance will be before Coun-
Gil Tuesday on second reading and
members of the City Planning Com
mission and representatives of the
electric light company will attend.
The measure which was offered by Mr..
Bowman grants the company the use
of the plot on the island for a period
of ten years with an optional term of
an additional ten years in return for
the yearly supply of 1900 tone of coal
for the filter plant. The coal now
costs 95 cents per ton. Mr.. Bowman
who is preparing some data on the
subject for Tuesdays meeting, gave
out some interesting figures on the
question. He had referred to some
old councilmanic files of ordinances to
Isubstantiate his figures.
City Would BE Gamer
Harrisburg, TO my mind, should
certainly take advantage of this offer
because it will surely be the gamer.
of the island, 471s acres for $S.25O,
and a lictie later sold about 29h acres
to the Harrisburg Athletic Association
for $4,49S.67. In 1907 the association
sold a half acre to the Peoples Bridge
company and in 1909 the city bought
back what it had originally sold to the
association nor $4,000, so that the
city has an Investment now in the
island of S13,751.43. At six per cent.
that means an income of about $S25.
And" concluded Mr.. Bowman, the
half acre which is now desired for
a wharf-just one-ninety-fo of the
while property which represents an in
vestment of nearly $14,00O-will net
ITO suggest that all the coal fleets
could be unloadec at Paxton street
lis entirely out of the question on the
face of it. In the first place the fleets
couldn't be handled there; there isn't
room enough. Furthermore the peo-
pie down there would surely protest,
and rightly so, against the anchoring
of that big fleet. AS for the right of
the city to impose a tax for wharf IA
cilities, / also doubt that.
According to the terms of the Har-
ris grant as l understand it, we can
not give up any portion of the water
front for any buildings such as hoist
or hopper which the company will
need. If this can't be done l don't see
how such q charge can be imposed.
Furthermore, If this could be possible,
do you think the city could charge the
