Paris. Oct. l3-Has the tabled foun-
tain of youth been discovered? Per-
haps. But it is already a positive fact
that man is worth as much as his in
testinal gland. This saying should
now replace the old one that "A man
is worth as much as his arteries"
At the same time the American pub
lie should not be misled into believ-
ing the mystery of life has been
solved. The importance of the scien-
tific discovery of which speak is so
immense that II needs no exaggeration
to be sensational. I assert this:
An enormous step has been taken
towards the abolition of old age and
decay.
II is already a mathematical success
with animals, but not yet with human
beings. chiefly owing to the lack of
opportunities to test men.
We may. therefore. hope for much.
but must wait a while before we
can feel positive that We no longer
need have fear OF ills and decay
brought about by age.
Sensation. Is Sprung.
Ny communication to the medical
congress in Paris caused a sensation
the world over. It startled the sci-
entists assembled here as well as the
general public. 1t is not an idle as
sertion. I cited facts and instances
which amazed the medical men.

POLICE PAY BILL
PASSES HOUSE
Measure Also Provides
Against Men Ahliating
With A. F. of L.

After devoting the entire afternoon
to discussion of the District bill pro-
viding for increases in salary to mem
bers of the Metropolitan police force,
the House late yesterday passed the
measure by vote of 22S to S.
Policemen. who sat in the galleries
while the Representatives were con-
sidering their wage measure, were
jubilant over the speedy and favorable
action taken by the Lower House, and
soon spread the good news among
Their companions.
Those interested in the bill believe
it will receive quick endorsement in
the Senate

subcommittee, which drafted the bill,
declared this action by Congress
in repudiatinG affiliation with A. F. of
L.. should serve as "a note Of warning
and advice" to state and municipal au-
thorities. who are faced with siml-
lar menace and may not, perhaps, ap-
preciate it at this time
The anti-strike section was strongly
supported by both Republicans and
Democrats, the only opposition coming
from members actively affiliated with
labor organizations. Two efforts were
made to strengthen the prohibition,
but these were voted down on the
ground that it was sufficiently strong
in its original form to meet the situa-
tion.
The Washington police union only
few days ago withdrew their affiliation
with the American Federation of La
Dor. after notice had been served by
the District Commissioners that fall
ure to take action would result in the
discharge of all members who re-
mained in the union.
The police pay measure provides for
a total increase of $345. .42O. made up as
follows: On superintendent, increase
from $4,000 to $500; two assistant
sueprintendents, increased from $500
to 5000: thre inspectors. increased
from 5000 to 81, 100; four police sur
geons, increased from $40 to 81. 100;
twelve captains. increased from 5000
to S, 800; twenty -one lieutenants, in
creased from 81, 90 to 5000; fifty-six
sergeants, increased from 81, 400 to g.
800: 4sS privates Cthird-class), in
creased to H.660; eighty-six pri-
Yates of clas two. increased to
S1,56O; 235 privates (frst-class), in
creased to S.4so; twenty motorcycle
men, an increase of $40. making a to-
tai Of $50 allowed dthem for purchase
and upkeep of motor vesicles; thirty
five patrol drivers (second-class). an
increase of $50 attendant upon auto
matte conversion into the police force
as regular members
The police pay bill also provides that
the patrol drivers shall be members Of
the metropolitan police force, but shall
not be rated above class two privates.
The measure contains a special Sec
ton which forbids members of the
force to become affiliated with any or
ganization which may call a strike or
order cessation Of work.

Helena, Ark, Oct. AFTER day
Of turbulence in the lower part Of

Helena, indications early today ar.
that there will be an early return to
normal conditions following the race
war in which several battles were
fought two miles north of Elaine yes

morning it is learned that seven ne
groes and three whites are dead and
many of both races injured.
The arrival at Elaine this morning
of five hundred United States troops
from Camp Pike, accompanied by
Governor Brough, somewhat eased
the tension. The arrest Of twenty
alleged instigators of rioting includ-
ing one white man, said to have been
the leader Of the negroes, is also be-

struck with mighty blows. He pre-
ferred the battle-axe to the rapier be-
cause he could cut deeper, and the
trip-hammer to the sleGge because he
could hit harder. It was his impetu-
GUS courage, his ready acceptance of
every challege, his fighting quality,
that captivated the popular imagina-
ton and welded to him, as with
thongs of steel, great body Of sup
portors. whose loyalty to him was phe-
nomenal, and who followed him in ev-
cry fight and wheresoever he led with
faith and devotion which were in
themselves the highest personal trib-
ute. No quality of Mr.. Roosevelt's

robust patriotism, and as long as men
live and love courage, he will have q

kind.
More than any man in our history,
Mr.. Roosevelt, in his fundamental
characteristics, resembles Andrew
Jackson. Like jackson he was q
fighter; like Jackson, he believed abb
solutely that what he stood for was
right; like Jackson, he thought that
everybody who opposed him was
wrong; like Jackson, he was impati-
emit Of red tape and undeterred by OBJ
stacles; like Jackson, he incurred
bitter enmities and attracted passion
ate friendships; like Jackson, he was
arbitrary, but he was forceful and
compelling. I recall the interesting
fact that Mr.. Roosevelt once told me
in the White House Of his profound
admiration Of Jackson, which was not
unnatural, since they were SO much
alike In their general attributes.
Like all men Of genius, Mr.. Roose-
welt had his eccentricities, and like
all men Of impetuous force, his judy
ments were not always right. He
could not have been human il he had
been infallible. No one will claim
infallibility for Mr.. Roosevelt, or for
any man, and while 1t was not always
possible to agree with his views and
policies, no one could be so partisan
or blind as to deny his great virtues
or to give just recognition to the IN
valuable services he rendered to his
country.
