Guinea Pigs Intermittent
CarrierS'of Cholera Germs

Correspondence Of Tha associated Press.l
Manila, Sept. 20.-What is con-
sidered by insular health officials as
most important discovery, has been
disclosed by DR.. School of the gov
ernment bureau of science, who has
been experimenting with guinea pigs.
His experiments have shown that
guinea pigs are intermittent cholera
carriers in that they can be inoculated
with the cholera germ and later will
throw off the germ. Then without
further incubation, feeding Of bile
brings back the cholera germ.
These experiments, say local health
officials, explain remarkable condi-
tons which have been found to pre-
vail at Bilibid prison, the big insular
prison in Manila. During the slight
epidemic OF cholera which has been
affecting several provinces OF the
islands, inspections at Bilibid have
discovered cholera carriers among
prisoners who, On previous exainina-
tons, were found to be negative.
Cholera infection appeared afterwards
when there had been no possibility Of
their exposure to the disease.
Cholera carriers are big problem,
in the Philippines, and through DR..
Schools discovery, local health Of
ficials hope to be able to solve the
problem of effectually killing. the
propensity Of certain individuals to
harbor the deadly germs.

BACKING THE MAYOR IS GIVING THE LOEB
RULE is TOO MUCH For STREET CAR MEN

The $4,000 organized street car
men of Chicago served notice on
Mayor Thompson yesterday that the
mayor hadn't got their votes in his
vest pocket. Through their delegate,
John ]. Bruce, at the Chicago Fed
Grafton of Labor meeting, the men
who run the street cars of Chicago
told the mayor they won't stand for
the way the mayor is backing up
Jake Loeb and the school board,
which last week discharged 68 teach
ers, Al of whom had records as ''su-
perior" and excellent"
The best friends Mayor Thompson
has had in the organized labor world
are the street car men. Since the
mayor joined with States Atty
HOyne in the big wage raise for car
men after the strike a year ago, the
car men have stood by him. They
refused to join with other labor
unions in the protest against the
mayors civil service policies, his
garment strike methods and other
moves hostile to organized labor.

friends have turned against him. The
Loeb rule is too much. The car men
can't see reason or decency in the
mayor patting Jake Loeb on the back
for the dismissal of public school
teachers because and only because
those teachers are members of a
labor union.
John J. Bruce, who spoke for the
car men yesterday, is the delegate
who refused some time ago to join
in the federation's criticism of Mayor
ThompsOn's policy on the automatic
phone deal. On the floor yesterday,
however, Bruce nailed the Loeb dis
missal of excellent" and superior"
teachers as a vicious" attack on the
very bottom principles of organized
labor.

THOMPSON asking him to use his

the mayor. I think Thompson is
back of this. Even though he has
done a good deal for the car men, I
say it is Bill Thompson who is re-
spOnsible.
Let us get up petitions and go to
the City Hall and see that the mayor
puts the right kind of members on
the school board.

the school board.

JAKE LOEB MAY BE NOTIFIED
HE'S IN COURT CONTEMPT
Will Jake Loeb be arrested in New
York this week before he gets
through with a speech before the Ma
tional Educational assn? Or viii
he not?
Wednesday night Loeb is on the
program with other school board
presidents to speak before the school
administration department On the
same day Atty I. T. Greenacre, for
the Teachers Federation, and States
Atty Hoyne are to file petition in cir
cult court asking that Loeb and his
school board majority be cited for
contempt of court
The Loeb rule giving the school
board power to discharge any teach
er known to be a member of the
Teachers Federation was declared
illegal in circuit court and a decree
issued forbidding the board from en-
forcing the rule. The Loeb majority,
however, has challenged the circuit
court judges, laughed at the injunc-
ton writ and specifically voted to
throw out of the public schools Al
teachers whose records are excel
lent and superior" AS these
teachers are members of the fedora
ton, the petition is of the Teachers
Federation and the states attorney
will recite that their discharge was
solely because they are federation
members and by this action the Loeb
majority. has kicked the circuit court

TRADE WAR rs
NOT EXPECTED
EnaIand's Black List VIII Lead to
Nothing Worse Than
Few Notes.

WASHINGTON, July 20-The pos
sibility of a trade war with England
over her black list policy was depre-
Gated by many officials here To-Day.
They said for one thing that the
Bryan arbitration treaty might pre-
vent the United States from taking
any retaliatory measures before n
year. By that time the necessity for
the black list very likely will have
ceased.
Another difficulty which the gov
eminent will encounter, is that Of
proving that steamship lines are VIC
lating the interstate commerce act in
refusing freight of black listed firms.
In the past the steamship companies
always have refused to lay complaint
against the British authorities and
have claimed there was so much
cargo they were justified in not TAX
ing that of a doubtful nature.
The state department is expected
to take the matter up shortly with
the British government, however, by
note and informal negotiation in an
effort to obtain notifications Of the
British order.

WAVE OF CRIME
SWEEPING BERLIN
Newspapers Do Not Publish All Of the
Suicides or Details Of
Murders.

THE HAGUE, July 2-(By maiD-
A wave OF CHASTITY murders, suicides
and other crimes of horrible character
is sweeping Berlin.
Mental depression or insanity, due
in some instances to the loss OF rela-
tives in the war and in others to lack
of proper food, is held to be respon-
sible by German criminologists. Dur
ing the past few weeks a sensational
murder or suicide has occurred nearly
every other day in Berlin. Many of
these are being hushed up and others
get but scant attention In the Berlin
newspapers because CT the over
whelming interest in the war.
Two girls robbed another in a Ber-
