A negro. said 70 have killed man

two lieutenants attached TO Commis-

bars. A struggle in the apartment OF

The prisoner gave his name as ROD

in the afternoon he rang the bell OF
an apartment AZ West 98th ST. When
he got no answer he entered with the
aid OF jimmy.
Disorder met the eye Of Lieutenant
John Shey when he reached the apart
ment at $3.50 o'clock with Lieutenant
Patrick f. Mccormick. They had been
out on case and intended 10 MAKE
out their report until they saw that
Shev's home had been ransacked.
As Shey tried TO pass into his bed
room he was halted. A hard effort car
ried him against the muzzle OF one or
his own revolvers in the hand OF Dig

zle of a gun at the mouth Of Reiss.
Search OF the prisoner revealed TWO
gold watches, pearl necklace, law

whistle. He said he had been out or
work and in such hard luck that ne wa

by LymphOid Action.

Tint the antagonism Of lymphold cells

human race was the hint thrown out

the Rockefeller institute, in an address

Socictv At the Hotel Manhattan.
Cancer cells. we have found ne

they will continue to grow, but they
cannot be transplantsd from a mouse
10 rat successfully. The growth
quickly recedes II this is done, and we
have found the reason is that these
cancer cells from a different species
are surrounded by a wall Of lymphoid
cells
"Ru, if the rat is first X-rayed. which

We canno; say vet. although We maF
nave something to say about II later
but THIS Is not the time or place
IL vas explained after the meeting
y; one Of the doctors present that this
discovery seemed to indicate that by an
inverse process the trsnsplantation Of
lymphoid cells from one animal into
generous tissue Of an animal Of dit
ferent species might furnish a means
Of killin0 the cancerous growth.
Or. Fleyner told also Of some new
experiences the surgeons IN the war
ana having in infections resulting from
wounds.
"lufections have been found when
develop much faster than an. hitherto
known" he said. I'm fact. sometimes
they are so far developed in six or
seven hours from the time the wounds
arc received that even surgery cannot
stop them. The surgeons at the front
have recognized the gravity OF TINS
situation and are trying 70 meet IT,
Conditions in this respect are worse
than in our Civil War.
"Tetanus has occurred. also. in an
unprecedented number Of cases. We
have found that injections Of mag
nesium sulphate into the tissues causes
state OF complete relaxation OF the
involuntary muscles. which may be
made TO last for hours. This IS very
important in the treating OF tetanus,
as il does away with commissions. Inc
only drawback is that il may paralyze
the muscles Of respiration, but we have
also devised a small portable instru-
ment for artificial respiration IN case
OF this. and We have sent great many
