JUDAISM INDICATED
 BY DR. GRANTS VIEWS
Rabbi Calisch, Head of Gen. tral Conference of Rabbis,
 Welcomes Debate

Richmond. Va, Fob. 3.-Rabbi Edward N. caliseh, president Of tho central conference Of American rab- bis. welcomes tho much -debated nt- terances or the Rev Percy Stickney Grant. rector Of the Protestant Epis- copal church of the Ascension. New York, as a vindication of Judaism.
 In addressing the congregation Of Beth Ahabah synagogue here. Dr. Calisch said:
 Speaking broadly and generally and not in any detail as to specific doctrines or dogmas as given in the theology Of the church. Dr. Grant denies the belief accepted among Christians that Jesus had divine pow CT, that he was part of the Godhead itself-''very God Of very God"
 He holds rather as I understand it that Jesus was highly gifted re- ligious teacher. even the most highly gifted. but that he was no more divine than other human beings who all possess the possibility of divine conduct.
 ''1 have heard it expressed that there are many thinking Christians who are sympathetic with this view point and that Dr. Grant is speaking for more than himself or his congre- gation. I welcome this expression of Dr. Grants views for the reason that it is, first. a vindication of Judaism whose followers have been martyrized the centuries because of their devotion to this ideal of Gods unity, and, secondly, II welcome it as a new means by which the church itself can clear itself from which has been a source of schism. of dissension and, alas, of bloodshed."

League Drops Ruhr Issue.

Paris, Feb. 3, (By Associated
 Press).-The council of the league of
 nations at a secret, informal session today, declined to put the reparation or Ruhr occupation questions on it's program. This means that for the present there is no possibility of the league taking any initiative toward mediation between France and Ger many.
 A summary of the days develop ments follows:
 Relations between the occupying forces and the populations of the Ruhr and the Rhineland are report ed notably improved, although the German magnates are still holding aloof in bitter opposition to cooper ation.
 The railroads are again in opera ton in large sections of the occupied area but the mines are doing little better, largely owing to shortage of empty cars.
 The French declare they will feed the civilian population if necessary and they are moving food trains into districts where the railroad strike is still on.
 In Paris, the reparation commission reafirmed its action of January 26 in refusing Germany moratorium re- plying negatively to the request made in German note yesterday to reopen the separations controversy and re- examine the capacity of Germany to pay.
 Premier Poincare told the French cabinet the Ruhr situation could be considered satisfactory.
 The council of the league of nations in Paris took a final adjournment without going into the question e Ruhr occupation or reparations.

Hartford. Feb. 3.-Aceording to
 predictions of legislative leaders al
 Hartford. and based on n survey oi the business which the present legis.
 lature must handle. it IS safe 10 pre- diet that final adjournment Of this general assembly will come at least n month sooner than In the session of
 1921. May is the day most legis- lators expect 10 journey from Hart ford 10 their respective towns for the last time. House Leader Buckley's motion, carried by both houses, that the appropriations committee give consideration to all appropriation measures so that the final report of that committee might be placed be- fore the legislature by April |, has met with almost unanimous approval by members. It is considered q good business move. and upon its passage is based the fact that this will be a shorter session than usual.
 Small Chance for "Frcak" Bills
 While there are only about 100 bills less than in 1921, which must receive of committees and action by the assembly, considerable of the proposed legislation is duplica- ton so far as the bills go, and there Is also quite bit of so-caled freak" legislation proposed that will un- 1oubtedly be disposed of in short order when the time comes. Con- 1ecticut legislatures have been noted tor their conservatism, and the pres .nt one is no exception.
 In past sessions, it has been the custom for the appropriations com- nittee to wait until the last few days ,f the session before presenting the general budget bill to the assembly. This was considered necessary so as Q include all measures. Major Buckley maintains that committees lnd others interested in appropria- ions matters can arrange early hear ngs and reports so that the budget Ill in this session may be before the 1 egislators on the first of April, giv- ng ample time to all members for areful perusal and consideration of Il parts of this tremendously impor- ant bill. Of course this was not inn ossible heretofore, as preparations ere under way for adjournment and ne bill generally came in too late for etails and minute consideration.
 Appropriations Requests.
 Plenty of measures wait for the ap- ropriations committee and it's par lg knife. Many are worthy, and len again many bills were presented l which the amounts have been laced high enough so that the par lg process might leave amounts yreeable to the proponents. A

F. A. Searle and Howard $. Hart Opposed - Quigley Takes Fling at Curtis and Other Political Enemies.

The power Of the common council to exceed appropriations made by the city meeting board when the subject matter concerned is salaries and when the council feels that 1t is advisable to overdraw -on this item. was ae- knowledgod by the city meeting board last night when that body. by a vote of 3a to i9. levied special tax Of s-i0 mills to make up anticipated departmental deficits. Il major portion Of which was caused by the payment of salaries i0 per cent in excess of those authorized by tho board.
 The meeting was held in the Cen tral Junior High school auditorium and was attended by b3 members. this number being slightly less than one third of those eligible to take part In the evenings discussios. Mayor A. NJ. Paonessa presided and Col A. l.. Thompson. city clerk, read the call for the meeting.
 Hall Leads Winning Fight
 After the call had been reaE. Chairman E. r. Hall of the board or finance and taxation submitted d I. tax to bs collected on next years grand list for the purpose of provid- ing the departments with funds that will be necessary to carry on the years work. He moved adoption Of the resolution.
 Finance Commissioner F. A. Searle, who recently opposed recommending that tax be laid to make up sucn deficits as are caused by refusals to cut salaries as ordered, then took the floor and said:
 Before we vote on this resolution, 1t would be well to review the &C., tion that brought about this condi- l tion and caused this meeting tonight. | One year ago the board of finance and taxation. in regular procedure, held hearings and listened to the needs of departments. A budget was prepared and then submitted to~ a smaller committee to revise. It was then presented for the approval of the full board. The sub committee had spent much time on this matter and its recommendation were adopt cd.
 The budget was passed on to the common council in due course and that body undertook to revise the budget. Their revision was to the extent of restoring certain cuts that had been made by the finance board. 1 The budget adopted by the common council was referred to the city meet

FLU GERM DISCOVERED SO SMALL IT
 E MACNlF2ED 1000 TIMES AND S
 THEN ONLY SEEN UNDER MICROSCOPE
Rockefeller Institute of Medical Research Now Hopes to Evolve a Cure or Preventive for This Dreaded Winter Disease.

Schenectady. x, Y. Feb, s.-Hope, Of thousands Of sufferers from epi, demic influenza for cure or pFeven, ton were raised today by the an, nouneement Of the discovery Of the cause and the isolation Of the germ,
 The announcement was made by Df. simon ". Flexner. director oi the Rockefeller institute Of medical research. who attributed the discoy- cry to Dr. Peter Kolitsky and Dr. Frederick T. Gates, also Of the in- stitute.
 Germ Is Microscopic.
 The isolation will permit experi- mentation with antidotes and anti. toSis. So small is the germ that 1t must be magnihed 1000 times before it is seen distinctly under the miero- scope. The germ lodges in the nose and throat during the first 35 hours of influenza infection. then attacks the lungs in such a way as 10 make them susceptible to other germs in the nose and throat. notably those Of pneumonia and bronchitis.
 Describing details Of the discovery, Dr. Flexner says:
 Effect Blood First.
 The effects are of two general classes: first. as they affect the blood and alter the relative number of red and white blood cells through the de- struction of one variety Of the latter.
 The second kind of effect from the germ causing influenza is far more significant and consists of mild in- juries to the substance of the lungs recognizable under the microscope.
 This new bacterium. found thus far only in cases of epidemic influenza in the early hours of the disease. is SO small that it can pass through pores of an earthenware filter and when magnified 1000 times is just capable of being seen distinctly under the mi croscope.
 Affects Lung Tissue.
 Tt has been given the name of bac- ,erium pneumosintces which. trans ated into simple English, signifies hat this germ injures the lung tissue n such a way as to deprive it of the power, ordinarily possessed of it, Of the attacks of the common of the nose and throat.
 In health these common bacteria Ire easily destroyed by the lung tissue, out as result of the injuries induced oy bacterium pneumosintees they are now enabled to lodge ana multiply in he lungs. thus producing these seri- ,us inflammations to which the names
