0'RYAN SEES MEANS
TO CUT 5 CENT FARE
Thinks Unified System Would
Eliminate Waste From
Transit Here.
HARDNESS RAPS MAYOR
Commissioners Voice Hope for
Successors to Study Plan
of Reorganization.
HARDNESS RAPS MAYOR

Both Gen. John F. Organ and Leroy
T. Hardness, members of the Transit
Commission, in public addresses yester-
day expressed the hope that whoever
may be their successors in that body
will give careful consideration to the
merits of their plan for the reorganiza-
ton and unification of the city's transit
facilities.
Addressing the members of the Lions
Downtown Club at luncheon, Gen
O'Ryan said THE only weakness of
the Transit Commissions plan is that
it is in the interest of the public and
therefore Is not looked upon favorably
by the politicians or the companies"
Concerning the fare question, he said /:
Experts assure us that under the uni
fed system waste would be so thor
oughly eliminated that the cent fare
would be positively maintained. with the
possibility that it might be even re-
duced."
Commissioner Harkness, speaking at
the monthly luncheon meeting of the
New York Board of Trade and Trans
portation, reiterated his criticism of
Mayor Hylan's plan for new subway
construction as financially unsound and
disruptive in principle.
THE Mayors plan is frankly for mu-
nicipal ownership" he said land for
the proposed recapturing of transit lines
under the old contracts. The city has
the right TO take back certain lines under
the dual contracts of 1913, but 1t cannot
take back the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
lines. Hence such an attempt would
bring disruption"

CARREL DISCOVERS
NEW USES IN BLOOD
Explains How White Corpus
cles Build Tissue and Check
Disease.
ACTS THROUGH OLD AGE
Surgeon Tells Scientists of
Regenerating Cells That
Are Dormant.
ACTS THROUGH OLD AGE

The white corpuscle OF the blood plays
tance in the building up Of body tissue,
the healing of wounds and the checking
Of disease, according to DR.. Alexis Car
rel. A paper he had prepared on the
subject was read yesterday before the
National Academy If Science at the
Rockefeller Institute. Avenue A and
Sixty-ffth street.
DIR. Carrel said that his experiments
had shown him that there was in the
leucocyte, or white blood corpuscle, a
powerful agent which is most active in
protecting the parent organism against
infection. in stimulating the growth OF
new tissue and in regenerating cells that
lie dormant. In his experiments with in
fected tissue he found that the leucocyte
secretions rapidly replaced the tissue
which had been destroyed by Infection.
In cases where the corpuscle was not
present. he said, healing was either
greatly delayed or failed TO take place.
The white corpuscle is active even in
extreme old age, according TO DR.. Carrel.
1t was common knowledge, he pointed
out, that body tissue generally ceases to
grow in the adult after q certain age is
attained, but that the leucocyte is still
at its work of regeneration was indi-
Gated. he said, by the fact that even in
extremely aged persons new tissue grows
to heal wounds and TO restore broken
bones. This TACT could be explained, he
asserted, by the hypothesis that leuco-
cytes bring to adult tissues substances
which they need for their regeneration
a hypothesis which was substantiated by
the observation that the beginning OF the
healing process seems to depend on the
coming of the leucocyte.
One difficulty In the building up of old
tissue and the possibility of DIR. Carreps
experiments leading to the discovery of
a method for rejuvenating the aged was
seen in the surgeons statement that he
had noted in aged persons decrease in
the secretion of leucocytes, a decrease
which was enhanced as time went on.
The surgeon made no predictions as to
the possibilities of his discovery leading
TO the prolongation of human life.
DR.. Carrels paper was followed by an
address given by Hideyo Noguchi,
japanese scientist, who told of his ex-
periments in fighting the Rocky Noun
tain fever, disease with a mortality
cf 20 per cent. occurring in the Rocky
Mountain and Pacific coast States.

DIVORCE MILL SEQUEL
BLOCKS ALIMONY PLEA
Court Leaves Way Open to
Mrs. Toffen to ReneU Suit.

Justice O'Malley yesterday denied the
application of Mrs. Ethel ]. Totten for
$500 a month alimony and $1,000 counsel
fee pending trial of her suit for separa-
tion against Samuel r. Totten, who has
been Vice-Consul in Buenos Aires.
The separation action Is a sequel to
the interlocutory decree of divorce which
Justice Seeger in Westchester county
awarded Mr.. Totten two years ago. Her
bert +. Miller who in April, 1921, was
accused of operating a fake divorce
mill. represented Mr.. Totten. The pro-
ceedings before Justice Seeger in his
case are said to have been proper, but
the final decree was refused by Justice
Seeger several weeks ago because Miller
had not been admitted to practice in
courts of the State and had no status in
the action
Justice O'Malley denied the applica-
tlon for allmony and counsel fee with
out prejudice to a renewal upon proper
papers which will show that the inter-
locutory decree of divorce has been va
Gated or declared void and of no effect
by order of the court"
