800 DETECTIVES ON CASE

About three hundred detectives yes
tcrday continued the search for the muir
derer of John Hildenbrand. who was

but little progress was made toward
solving the mystery.
Every pawnbroker in the city was

body of his victim. The police believe
that cocaine, the drug under the infu-
ence OF which they think the murderer
committed the crime. will eventually
lead to his undoing and capture.
Either, they say. the man will boast OF

detection by attempting to pawn the
watch or two other articles OF jewelry
Ne stole from another fiat.
Miss Sophia Hildenbrand said yester-
day that the body OF her father would
be buried tomorrow.
II hope that the police find the man
soon" she said, mot because I want to
see him punished. but because an ex-
ample is needed to other burglars who
work with little trouble or danger In
this neighborhood and who may at any
time become murderers to save them
selves from Jail. For some time past.
owing to the frequent burglaries, we
nave not dared to leave the house alone
for a moment. Perhaps IL 1t were not
for this constant fear of being robbed
my father would not have stayed alone
1n the house and SO met his death.

WAR STRIKES TAKEN UP
BY MACHINISTS' UNION
MunitiOn Makers Want Better
Pay-WilsOn Hears Navy
Yard Mems Plea.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 1s.-The execu-
tive board OF the International Asso'
citation Of Machinists met in Washing
ton to-day. The first session was taken
up in considering various requests Tor
sanction to order strikes unless the de-
mands OF local organizations for better
hours and wages are granted. Some OF
these requests came from machine too
employees Of Wilmington. Del.
There has been an extraordinary de-
mand on the executive board, II was
said. for organizers, and several Will be
sent out to start unions In localities
where this class OF labor has not here
tofore been organized.
But we will not be able to meet all
the demands for organization" said
President w. II. Johnston Of the inter.
national union to-day. "A majority OF
the highest skilled workmen among the
machinists are already organized. Tht
m%achinists enter more largely into the
munitions business than any other ont
branch Of organised labor.
This business liz f%iourishlng Just al
present and we have chosen that III
dustry TO make our demands for i'm
proved conditions. They are the best
able to grant the request. They ought
to do 1t. our industry has not beer
getting what II deserves"
President Johnston seemed pleased
over the report that came TO the meeting
from the White House as the result OF
the conference between the representa-
tives Of the machinists in the Washing
ton Navy Yard and the President. The
navy yard workInen want the wage scale
that existed before July 1 in the Gov
eminent yard restored. They came
away from the conference feeling thai
the President would grant their request.
President Johnston came from thu
Bridgeport. Conn. strike zone, feeling
that before the conferences now on ar,
ended the machinists will get practically
everything they are contending for. HI
said the concessions already la tc
the machinists are to be commended
and On the remaining points In contro'
versy he expects to see favorable re
suits.
President Johnston said 10000 ma
chinists from the United States had gon,
abroad since the war began. attracted
by the higher wages and improved con
ditions. and that unless conditions wer,
improved I'm the United States there
would be further migration. and the

STEP MAY Be TAKEN
In CANCER IMMUNITY
Rockefeller Investigators Give
Out Results Of Latest
Experiments.

pr. James p. Murphy and pr. John
who have long been transplanting can
GER In mice, have arrived at the conclu-
sion that the lymphocytes In the blood
are necessary factors in cancer immu-
nifty. This opinion they give in a short
paper In the July issue Of the Proceed
n0s Of the National Academy Of Sci
ences. issued by the academy, whose
home office IL in Washington. II. e.
The conclusion of DIR. Murphy and Or.
Morton, II substantiated. particularly In
the case Of human beings. may be Of
value In attempts to find "A cancer serum,
physicians believe.
The W investigators say that from a
astrological standpoint there liz "A strik-
ing resemblance between the phenomena
of failing tissue graft in "A host Of for
eign species and homologous cancer
graft In an ANNA with natural or in
duced immunity. In both cases they
have constantly found a local lymphoid
reaction. This appears early and lasts
until the destruction Of tissue in the
cancer graft Is complete.
Experiments with "A chick embryo,
which has no means of defending itself
against cancer or other foreign tissue.
have shown that the embryo, IL supplied
with adult lymphoid tissue. becomes as
able to resist the caucer growth as an
adult animal. And an adult animal
which has been deprived of most of its
lymphoid by small doses OF the N-ray
becomes powerless to cope with cancer
tissue.
ITO summarize" say Dr. Murphy
and DR.. Morton. we ave shown hat
"A marked increase in the circulating
lymphocytes occur after ANGER inocu-
lation in mice with either a natural or
induced immunity. When this lymph
old reaction Is prevented by "A pre-
vious destruction Of the lymphoid tissue
with N-rays the immune states are de-
stroyed. Hence 1t would seem fair 10
conclude that the lymphocyte is "A nec-
essary factor in cancer immunity"
