TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER IS. 1921.
Curran or Hylan To-day.

Either the enrolled anti-Tammany
voters who go to the primaries to-
day want to save this city from
bankrupting misgovernment and
give its affairs sound management
fer the benefit of reasonable taxes
and rents, sufficient schools, well d.
rected and suitably paid policemen
and firemen, straight business and a
square deal, or they want to amuse
themselves at the expense Of their
pockets and the welfare OF their
families with freak issues and po-
litical Jokes.
II they want to get into this
municipal fight to rescue New York
from Hylanism they will go to the
primaries to-day and cast their votes
for HENRY ii. CUREAN to nominate
Etm for Mayor. II they don't care
what befalls the city in the next four
years, or how much 1t costs them in
dollars and in civic pride. they will
throw away their primary votes to-
lay for HASKELL or LA GUARnIA or
>,,ENxETr.
To imagine that HASKELL on a
vet platform for Mayor could make
i dent in the national prohibition
,ituation is as sensible as TO imag'
re that running for Alderman on
he question OF more street lamps
lie could gain control of the United
States Government. If HASKELL
wants to do anything about the Vol
.tead act, and II voters want him to
1t, let him run for the House of
representatives or the United States
'enate and let them elect him to
ongress.
To imagine that La GUARpIA could
> elected Mayor at this time, or that
could be nominated for Mayor
nder these circumstances, or that
could come anywhere near being
ominated, is no wilder a dream
nan to imagine that he could deliver
7ver this country to the League of
.ations.
To imagine that BENNETT can cut
ny figure in the rrimaries Of Greater
ew vork-vell, nobody does imag-
ie ANYTHING so nonsensical.
CURRAs II the only man 20 vote
,r at the primaries to-day, because
obody else. e-en l he could be
ominated. would havs a ghost of a
rance to defeat HYLAN. So II the
nti-Tammany voters mean business
- this campaign against HYLAS in
lie City Hall and MURPHY on top
New York the time and place for
lem to show !: is at the prima ries
,-day. II they don't want another
,ur years OF HYLAS, bungling the
lty's money. the taxes. the schools,
snts and everything. and IL thny
onf want another four years OF
ie Murphy crew fattenin, through
iylanism. the one thing for them
do to-day is to vote for CuRRAS.

Rent Determining Rules.
Objections to One Plan Of Apportion'
ing the Cost Of Repairs.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Refer
ring to the decision handed down by
Justice Kelby at the Appellate Term
Of the Supreme Court in Brooklyn 1t
would appear that one phase OF II is
open to question, looking at 1t from the
standpoint of an accountant. l refer to
the disposition of cost OF requirements.
Let US, just for the purpose Of Illus
tration. assume an expenditure Of $1,000
to cover the replacement items of boiler
sections. flooring. &c, and that In ac-
cordance with the decision this Item was
included as ordinary repairs. Assuming
further that the house contained twenty
apartments. It would result in each ten
ant being forced to pay $3.50 In the
current year-more than $40 a month
-as direct result OF this repair Job.
Let us now assume that In the fol-
lowing year no ouch expenditure was
made. 1t is hardly likely that land
lord would voluntarily reduce that years
rent correspondingly, but 1t is very evil
dent that only by such a reduction would
a tenant be treated justly.
VIII not this decision. II upheld. be
each year with just such cases?
In all other respects the decision APP
pears to be emincntly fair TO both land
lord and tenant. but In 30 far as IL re-
lates to replaccments and depreciation
II seems like an attempt TO carry water
on both shoulders. II the property Is
frss correctly valued the 2 per cent de-
rreciation allowed covers the purpose OF
maintaining It in the same condition
that justified the valuation. 1t follows
therefore that IL the rate SO allowed
Is a fair one II must over a period OF
years cover replacement expense.
Rcductio dd absurdun, Is perhaps the
most conclusive way to prove the point.
As q Hypothetical case assume the fol-
lowing facts:
Property assessed and valued at $40.-
900, containing eight apartments hav-
ing an average rental of sI5 each. or
$1,000 annual gross rental general cx-
pense. $500: 2 per cent. depreciation.
$500. net income. $4,000. or 12A per
cent. on the value OF the property. As
sumo further that. the building being In
danger OF collapse. reconstruction cost
ing 5000 Is inescapable; also that. no
Interior repairing or renovating having
been done for great many years, II
is now necessary to expend sonie $4,000
for this purpose. total expenditure OF
IS, 900, more or less. According to tho
decision the landlord would be permit
ted to adjust the rentals to produce
10 per cent. OF value. $1,000
General expense. .................' low
per cent. depreciation. ....,...... 800
Extra reconstruction and repairs. 5000
Total. ............'..... 'Si9,"V
This divided among eight tenants
would equal s1,7s7.5o or sf46.es a month
for an apartment worth no more than
SIS a month. Such rent would not
be upheld by any court. nor would any
tenant pay II.

room where he was speaking. Lord
Salisbury expressed the satisfaction
OF all England over the peaceful
solution that had just been reached
with the United States in the Vene-
Zuelan dispute.
Every man and woman OF British
blood" he said. has been taught
to regard a serious quarrel with the
United States as unthinkable. That
attitude of mind itself Is a guar
antee of peace between the two
countries.
But this conference. held under
the auspices of America ought 70
carry US q step further. II is the
beginning of q similar attitude
toward and between all other
peoples.
IF that is accomplished by the
assembly at Washington, then the
conference will have been the great
est event in the last 1900 years"
Speaking in similar strain, Lord
Curzon, foreign minister, declared
that the worlds return to peace
will best be accomplished by sub
stituting international action for
national action.
Both the league of nations and
the Washington conference" he
said, represent the conscious group
ing of nations toward an interna-
tional relationship which is better
than the balance OF power. Unity in
international action Is the sole rem
edy for the evils We are suffering" "

AWARD CONTRACT
FOR EASTERN HIGH
Builder Threatens Court Ac-
tion Against Commissioners
For Rejecting Terms.
Photo by National Photo

District Commissioners yesterday
awarded the contract for the COM
pletion of the new Eastern High
School within one year to George
E. Wynne, of the District, whose
bid is $959,70O. and ruled out the
lowest bid. $s5O,OOO, of George Hy-
man, also a local contractor, on the
grounds that Hyman has not had
proper experience" in such work
and that he had entered into an
improper alliance" with another
bidder, James L Parsons, ir.. for the
construction work. Hyman. through
his lawyer, w. Gwynn Gardiner,
says he will strive today to prevent
Wynne from starting the construc-
ton and will fight the Commits
sioners' award in the courts.
Gardiner claims that under the
law the Commissioners are obliged
to award the contract to the low
est bidder and that an injunction
will be obtained to prevent Wynne
from starting construction.

bacteria. The ultra-microbe is
tasteIess for all animals and man.
1t is absolutely harmless.
Successful Experiments.
DR.. Herelle has experimental sue
cessfully on men, buffalos and birds.
He has made them resistant to GER
tain diseases by introducing into
them the peculiar ultra-microbe
which had become accustomed to
preying upon the particular bac-
terium that causes the disease.
Bacteriophage Is Greek for "bac-
teria-eater." 1t has been described
like to a flea preying on a larger
flea.
DR.. Herelle explains his discovery
as follows:
There is only one species of bac-
teriophage able to accclimate itself
to parasitism on a very large num-
Der of species of bacteria. A strain
active against one bacteria can be
trained in a test tube to become
virulent toward a totally different
one.
The bacteriophage is, of neces-
sity, parasite that is not able to
develop except by penetrating into
the interior of a living bacterium,
secreting a bacterial solvent, and
then reproducing itself by feeding
on the dissolved microbe. 1t then
sends forth the young bacterio-
phages to prey upon other bacteria.
Will Act I'm the Blood.
The normal habitat of the bac-
teriophage is the intestine, and 1t
has been found in the intestInaI
tracts of healthy animals, both ver-
tebrate and fnvertebrate. But it
can be introduced in the blood as
well and act there. Whether the
bacteriophages protect the animal
or not depends upon whether tns
strain present is viruient to the
particular harmful and invading
bacteria In the case of a dysen-
terry patient it took six days for
the bacteriophages to become ac-
tive. In fact. the history OF a case
of contagioAss disease Is the refiec-
ton of the vicissitudes of the strug-
gle engaged in within the animal
or person by the pathogenic bac-
terra and the ultramicroscopic bac-
teriophages. But some bacteria,
such as those that live in a healthy
animal are able to acquire an i'm
munity to. the bacteriophages, DR..
Herelle has found.
The bacteriophage Is transmitted
in the same way as the harmful bac-
terfa, and an epidemic ends because
all of the people have been infected
by the bacteriophage carriers.
Or. Herelle declares that his dis
coveries are not antagonistic to the
fact that the white corpuscles Of
the blood provide a defense against
bacterial disease but that bacterio-
phages act in the case of animals
without natural immunity or that
acquired by disease or vaccination. :"

For many years I have lived on

Almost three weeks it took US to
complete the trip, and for fifteen
days we traversed heavy storms,
prevalent in the Atlantic at this
season of the year. Two days out
from the Azores we ran into a trop-

two life boats and a raft-swept

rated.

and destruction which have been
restrained but not yet abolished.
No single question to be discussed
In Washington is half as important
as that supreme Interrogation on
the lips of millions Of people as the
conference begins. The millions
care very little whether American
or Japanese policy prevails in the
Pacihc-whether the Anglo-Japa-
nese alliance exists or dissoIves.
what they do care about is whether
the conditions of their life are to
De improved or worsened.
The statesmanship of the world
went bankrupt in July, 1914. More
than four years later in Paris II
still disclosed itself as powerless,
The Washington conference is a
third test. Failure may easily have
consequences which would be in
calculable. That is why one nust
believe in success in the larger
sense, success which can only come
about when the world perceiyes Its
statesmen able once more to serve
the interests Of peace, not war,
and Of economic and material well
fare, not Of Industrial and financial
anarchy.
Masses Wiser Than Diplomats,
Success in the WASHINGTON CON-
ference, therefore rests primarily
not in the pursuit of national pol
icies. not in the vigorous cham
pionship Of parochial principles,
but in the constant endeavor 10

at the close Of their deliberations
to part after having contributed

Increase Of good will. and the dis
sipation Of distrust and suspicion.
no one can exaggerate the benefit
to all mankind
In the last analysis the instinct
Of the masses of the people in the
case OF this conference is Infinitely
sounder than the view of any din

people ask II peace, not policies:
