served upon the Massachusetts, Senator

majority vote in the Senate. approximately

I'VE Democrats, will vote against the
treaty in its entirety.
Senator Sherman, Republican, of Illinois.
went so far as to announce that he would
bolt the Republican party rather than
accept any substantial change in the
Americanizing principle of the original
Lodge reservations. Senator Borah, OF
idaho, and Senator Brandegee. Of Con-
necticut. took virtually the same position.

lowing tcrse statement to the press a few
minutes after the momentous conference
adjourned late this afternoon
After months Of delberation and de-
bate the Senate agreed on certain rcserva-
lions which of themselves represent the
compromise. 1t is admitted by everybody
that these reservations-called the Lodge
reserva tions-were the very least that
should be adopted for tha r-ctection Of
America. In the language of Senator
lodge. they constituted the irreduciblc
:ninimum.'
personally, I am unable to see how
there can be any compromise upon the
least possible protection to America, or
upon reservations which are the irreduci-
bic minimum in safeguarding American
institutions. For one, l desire to express
this view. To me there could be no COM

No sooner did the Republican strong
rsservationsts and ''irreconcilables' read
in this mornings newspapers that the b.
.partisan conference which has been meet

near a compromise agreement than the
storm began to break in the Senate corri-

Appellate Division, Sustaining
Lower Court, Finds Mr.. Nix
on Without Power.
THE DECISION is SWEEPING
While Dealing with One Traction

Public Service Board.
THE DECISION is SWEEPING

The Appellate Division of the Supreme
Court yesterday upheld the contention OF
the city authorities and the ruling of the
lower court that the Public Service Com
missioner has no power to increase fares
on the traction lines. The issue was taken
to the Appellate Division as test case
Although the decision was specifically
upon the application of the Manhattan
and Queens Traction Company, which op-
crates cars from the Manhattan end of the
Queensboro Bridge to Jamaica, the re-
ceivers for the New York Railways Com
pany. as well as the Interborough Consoli-
dated Corporation and Public Service Com
missioner Nixon, all Joined in the appeal.
The appeal was taken from the injunc-
the Supreme Court Special Term. restrain
ing Commissioner Nixon from entertain
ing the application Of the Manhattan and
Queens Traction Company for permission
to increase its five cent fare by a system
of zones. The opinion of the Appellate
Division was written by Justice Frank C.
Laughlin and concurred in by all his asso-
ciates The court holds. as did Justice
Finch. that neither the Public Service
Commissioner nor any one else has the
power to authorize the traction company
to charge more than five cent fare in
view of it's contract with the city under its
franchise. the latter being granted on the
expressed stipulation that the company
should not charge more.
No Ruling on Need Of Relief.
The court did not undertake to say
whether the company should have H.
nancial relief but declared that any such
relief sought should come from the Leg
islature or the Board of Estimate. In
other words, ii would require special leg
islation empowering the Public Service
Commissioner with authority to increase
fares after n hearing. or an amendment
OF the franchise by the Board of Esti-
mate.
Most of the points argued on appeal
have been very fully considered in the
able opinion delivered by Justice Finch
at Special Term" said Justice Laughln
in writing the opinion. But in view OF
the gravity of the decision to be made and
Of the great public importance of having
the question as to whether the Public
Service Commission has the power TO
change the fare of the appellant traction
corporation for transporting passengers
speedily and authoritatively decided we
deem it proper to state briefly and pointed
ly why the Public Service Commission
has not such jurisdiction.
1T was provided in the franchise that
the consent OF the city was granted upon
the condition that the company should
not charge any passenger greater rate
of fare than five cents for one continuous
ride and should not exceed three cents
for the bridge transportation, or five cents
for two tickets. If the Commissioner
were permitted to proceed with the hear

Pneumonia and Influenza.

8u0 tuIfuCnLb.
Influenza has been gradually reaching
the epidemic stage since the first OF the
year." DR.. Copeland explained. THE
excess of the number OF deaths from
pneumonia over influenza means that the
latter disease was i'm progress before the
recurrence OF influenza became marked.
There is no indication. however. that
the epidemic will reach the proportions IL
did in 1918. There is every reason to be-
lieve. from an analy sis of the figures. that
the disease is waning in its strength.
II have compared the statistics of this
morning with those of October T. 1918. a
corresponding date in the period of the
epidemic of two years ago. The figures
for that day reveal there were double the
number of deaths from influenza and six
times as many deaths from pneumonia.
II believe a good many cases have not
been reported this year to the Health
Depa rtment. I also believe that many OF
those reported as influenza cases are SIM
ply heavy colds. The physician who does
not report an influenza case is violating
the Sanitary Code and on conviction is
liable to Imprisonment in the penitentiary
for one year and fine of $500. A ply
sician or any other person who knows OF
such a case and does not report IL to the
Health Department Is equally guilty and
Is subject to the same punishment.
DR.. Parks Experiments.
"Dr. William II. Park, one of the great
est bacteriologists in the country. and
who is the director of the Bureau OF
Laboratories of the Health Department
during the last eighteen months made an
extensive study Of vaccines as prevent
ives for influenza, and I regret TO say
II has been found that vaccines for that
purpose have been found to have no vir-
tues The only positive thing developed
by the medical profession generally in the
last year and a half is that the disease
is hand conveyed.
"Dr. Park conducted an experiment in
factory employing three thousand per-
sons. Half of the employees were inocu-
lated with "A composite vaccine containing
germs supposed TO be responsible for
colds, influenza. various types of pneu-
monia and various types of pus-producing
germs, and IL was found that one-tenth OF
one per cent OF those vaccinated were In
worse condition after the test than those
who were not vaccinated.
The vaccine does seem TO have some
value in the prevention of pneumonia" DR.
Copeland added but in view of the fact
that pneumonia seems to be a rather in
frequent companion OF influenza this year
the Health Department does not room
mend it's use. However. the department
is prepared to supply the vaccine to any
physician whose patient may desire IT,"
Dr. Copeland announced that the Health
Department is thoroughly equipped for the
handling of the epidemic. He said tina,
there was a conference during the day OF
the heads Of every bureau and department
in the Health Department and that all oi
the heads reported they are ready for any
demands that might be made on them.
The Commissioner said that he was in.

and is sure TO attract much public at

Mr.. Hoover's name has been frequently

certain that his demonstrated ability in
the great war his reputation as a man
who has done great things. his official ex-
perience without political associations, his
courage and ability to stand the fire OF
personal and political attack, his training
and position as a business man and his
record of disinterested and uncompensated
patriotic service would lend an unwonted
glow to his candidacy if he were nominated
BY one OF the great political parties.
The heretofore unsatisfied yearning for
a business man which so often finds eX-
preston among business men would be
gratified by his nomination. But party
regularity is still strong enough In this
country 10 prevent the election OF candi-
date on an Independent platform Only as
candidate OF the Republican or OF the
Democratic party will Mr.. Hoover be for
