64,5O0 ANIMALS USED
IN CANCER RESEARCHES
George Crocker Fund Laboratory
Finds Half Dozen So-Called
Cures Ineffective.

NEW YORK, December 13.-The
George Crocker cancer research fund
laboratory at Columbia University
made use of $500 animals in the
course OF it's investigations concerning
cancers during the past year. as shown
in its annual report. issued today. The
animals included $4,000 mice, 10000
rats. 800 rabbits, 1000 guinea pigs and
1900 chickens and other fowl For
tests with radium alone $4,000 mice
and $500 rats were used. In addition
a special strain of mice is being bred in
which spontaneous tumors frequently
develop.
Upon these animals with tumors
either spontaneous or artifcially pro-
duced and upon human beings whose
concer growths were hopelessly inop-
erable, the laboratory staff tested the
effectiveness of half a dozen so-called
cures for cancer. The report states
that none of the agencies tested was
shown to exert the slightest influence
on the tumors treated.
The Investigations with radium are
said in the report to have led to i'm.
portant quantative results and to have
shown that only three factors are con
oerned in the action of that element or
cancer cells-the amount of radium
length of exposure and the distance be
tween the radium and the tumor tissue

of their child. They were married Jan
uary 80, 1907. and have one child. Mrs

serted her in April, 1908. Since the al
legged desertion, she declares. he mas
not contributed to her support.
Through Attorneys James b. Flynn
and Harry A. Hegarty the wife says
her husband frequently stayed out un-
til 2 o'clock am. and on such occasions
was abusive on his return. sometimes
pulling her nose and striking her
During the time they lived together
she tells the court, her husband did not
give her one cent of his wages and did
not furnish her zone particle of cloth
ing, not even a pair Of shoes"
Shortly after the birth of the baby
she says one of her girl friends pre-
sented the infant with a silver dollar
When she told the husband of the gift
she asserts, he took the said dollar
from under plaintiffs pillow and spent
it for his own use, pleasure or pur-
pose"
Justice Mccoy issued a rule on the
husband to show cause Friday why he
should not be compelled to pay ALI

His Ideas on Reconstruction

MARTYR WAS SILENT
ON NEGRO SUFFRAGE
Urged an Election in Arkansas to
Be Conducted Entirely Under
States Laws.

COLUMBIA, Mo-, December 13.-New
material on the life of Abraham Lin
coin was brought out in an address be-
fore the State Historical Society of
Missouri by Walter B. Stevens of St.
Louis. former Washington correspond
ent of the st. Louis Globe-Democrat
and later secretary of the Louisiana
purchase exposition.
Mr.. Stevens theme was Lincoln and
Missouri" and he made public, pos
sibly for the first time, letter which
President Lincoln sent to Gen. Steele,
whose military district included the
state of Arkansas. The letter is dated
January 20, 1854, and, said Mr.. Stevens
in his address, "is an answer to the
historical controversy as to the course
Mr.. Lincoln would have pursued had
he lived out his second term"
Letter in Bixby Collection.
The original of the letter is now in
the collection of w. X. Bixby of St.
Louis.
In his letter." said Mr.. Stevens, "the
President authorized the organization
of state government by an election
on the condition that it be assumed at
said election, and thenceforward, that
the constitution and laws of the state,
as before the rebellion, are in full
force. excepting that there shall b.
neither slavery nor involuntary servi-
| tude, except in the punishment of
crime whereof the party shall have
been duly convicted; but the general
assembly may make such provision for
the freed people as shall recognize and
declare their permanent freedom, pro-
vide for their education, and which
may yet be consistent, as a temporary
arrangement, with their present condi-
tion as a laboring, landless and home
less class
The language as to freedom" said
Mr.. Stevens, ''is the same as was incor-
porated in the thirteenth amendment
to the Constitution of the United States
nearly two years after this letter was
written by Mr.. Lincoln. Gen. Steele was
ordered to proceed with the election,
allowing all to vote who would take
the oath of allegiance prescribed in
the Presidents proclamation of Deem
Der 8, 1863. Polls were to be opened
and the election on this change in the
Constitution and for governor was to
be conducted in accordance with the
laws of Arkansas. Gen. Steele was in
structed to have the votes counted and
to recognize the new governor and to
declare the Constitution as amended in
full effect

eight recommended by the general
board For additional reserve ammuni-

whereas the general board recommends
$l1,000,000. They recommend some-
thing more for other craft. My total
for the FIVE years is $500, ,482,214. The
general boards total is s499,S76,000. a
