AMERICAN WOMAN
TO AID OPIUM FIGHT
Mrs. Wright's Selection Seen
as Tribute to Work of
Herself and Husband.

The appointment of Mrs. Hamilton
three assessors chosen by the Council
OF the League of Nations to assist the
advisory committee on traffic in opium
has been received here as a hitting
tribute to the work done by herself ana
her late husband, Dr. Hamilton Wright,
III combating the opium evil.
The advisory committee on traffic in
opium was created by the council during
its recent meeting at Paris in accord
ance with a resolution adopted by the
assembly. 1t will consist of one rep
resentative from each of the following
eight countries: Holland. Great Britain,
France. India. Japan. China. Siam and
Portugal. The active work of the COM
mittee will be done by three assessors
chosen exclusively with regard to their
special knowledge of the question, with
Sir John Jordan of Great Britain, Mons.
Henri Breanier Of France and Mrs.
Wright. The travelling expenses and
subsistence allowance of the assessors
will be paid by the league.
The first meeting of the advisory COM
mittee will be held some time during
April, in order that report on the
opium situation all over the world will
be ready for the council not later than
June /. This report will include de-
tailed statements in regard to all meas
ures adopted by the various countries
for the control of the traffic in opium
and other dangerous drugs. Under the
resolution adopted by the assembly a
special invitation will be addressed to
the United States to take part in the
work of the committee. In case OF
favorable answer the council. is author
lied to add an American member TO the
committee. Such an addition would be
made regardless OF the appointment OF
Mrs. Wright.
Mrs. Wright's selection Is the more
interesting because 1t is an example of
a woman taking UP the work begun by
her husband after ne has been rendered
incapable OF carrying 1t on. d.. Ham
ilton Wright was one OF the principal
anti-opium workers during his life and
was known as such all over the world.
He acted as the representative of this
country at the Hague Convention on
Narcotics and later ne went to Paris as
member OF the Peace Commission.
While there he was killed in a street
accident.

pate Deadlock Suggestions.

tie Jersey City approaches to the new
vehicular tunnel was discussed yesterday
at joint meeting of the New York and

ne. Commissions The meeting ended
with the adoption by the New York
members OF resolution calling on the
Jersey City authorities for an official
statement as to whether the proposed
widening Of Fourteenth street, Jersey
CITY. is a condition upon which they
would insist before authorizing the clos
Ing OF Eleventh street. Members OF the
commission sought to diss!pate every
suggestion that they had become dead
locked over the matter of charging street
widening costs in Jersey City 10 tunnel
construction.
The New York Commissioners evident
ly felt that the proposal to charge the cost
of widening Fourteenth street. Henderson
street, Twelfth street and Jersey avenue
to the construction work was In the ma
ture OF an added consideration and not
included in the estimates first made by
Clifford M. Holland. chief engineer o.
the other hand, the New Jersey members
ccntended that In order to obtain the
full revenue from tunnel operation the
approaches on the New Jersey side would
have to be widened. and that the work
would be proper charge against the
total cost OF the job.
At the next meeting. next Tuesday, the
question Will be taken up again.

The alleged insult by Assistant Dis

scribed by him when he resumed the
stand yesterday in his defence in the
trial before Supreme Court Justice
Weeks. in which he and Louis f. Swarts.
formerly his law partner. are charged
with conspiracy and failure to prosecute
Bourasse.
While motoring in New Rochelle to
call upon sister of Mrs. Mary Coync,
Bourasse's second wife, Mr.. Kilroe said
he told the actress he feared her bigamy
action could not be upheld in court "She
accused me OF double-crossing her and
siding with her husband" he said. Il
told her she was crazy and a liar. These
words were what Mrs. Bourasse re-
ferred to when she testified l had in

Did you put your arm around Mrs.
Bourasse in the automobile?" his coun-

Mr.. Kilroe's counsel countered with the
objection 1t would be just as germane TO
inquire why the Almirall Grand Jury did
not indict Bourasse for bigamy when II
indicted the Assistant District Attorney.
Justice Weeks stopped the argument by
calling attention to the fact that the
question OF conspiracy between Mr. Kill

sideration for the jury
Joseph NJ. Proskauer of Mr.. Kilroe's
counsel brought from him the statement
that one of the duties OF prosecutor
is to consider the final disposition that

Vegetable Life
Germ Isolated

a-- vegetable matter that is possible
ot recreation must Of necessity have
living force within itself As the
germ Of life IS In the seed. some part
ot the vegetable is q living or vitamic
part.
Begins Experiments on Yeast
Beginning his experiments with
vitamines about a year ago, Doctor
Cox found il possible to extract them
from yeast. once he isolated the
vi-aUic cell from yeast he went on
70 other vegetables and fruits. After
obtaining the yitamic cells from fruits
and vegetab. IS he placed them under
the microscope and found that they
were similar in shape, appearance and
action to the yeast vitamine.
However. after extracting the vita
mic properties from fruits and vege-
tables, DR.. Cox knew no more about
tie vitamiEes than that they reacted
in a certain way.
"AIl I know is that l extracted the
living viramic property. the part that
IS alive he said. 1T is like setting
aside that part Of the grain which
creates new life.
