prisoners. Napoleon and the Empress jose
phine were seated in their coach waiting for
the horses to be changed when the petition
was received When he saw that the paper
came from England he exclaimed to the driver,
Away, away"
But Josephine cried out: But stay, you
see from whom this comes-Jenner"?
"Ah We can refuse nothing to that NAME"
answered Napoleon as he signed the petition.
In November of 1900 great numbers of
certain English parish came to be vaccinated
who would not be vaccinated the year before.
DIR. Jenner found that it was not because SO
many of the people had died of smallpox, but
because Of the great cost of collins. The
church wardens had gotten together and CON-
PEELED the people to be vaccinated
Strange to say much opposition continued
in England. minister preached sermon
against vaccination, in which he said that
"it was no new art, Job had been innocu-
lated by the devil" German physician
tried to prove from the Scriptures that vac
cination was nothing less than anti-Christ.
But the German Royal Society recognized the
magnitude Of DR.. Jenner's discovery by making
him an honorary member of the society.
Later all of the learned and scientific societies
of Europe followed its example.
A society was formed in London to spread
vaccination. The deaths from smallpox fell
from an annual average of 2018 during the
latter half Of the century to 622 in 1904 In
1902 DR.. Jenner received a grant of $4,000
from Parliament as a reward for his laborS
and loss of time, and for making his discovery
public when he might have patented 1t. This
grant did little more than pay the expenses
of the discovery. 1t did not make him indie:
pendent enough to go on with his work. The
calls on his time became greater. He was
unable to return to his practice. Many per-
sons wrote to him for information that could
have been obtained from his printed works.
The London doctors seemed unable to get
over the fact that a provincial doctor had
made the discovery. Many false statements,
both within and without the profession, were
made to underrate what he had done. Some
said that DR.. Jenner was not the inventor OF
vaccination. How can a man invent law
of nature?" they asked Others asserted that
it would make horns grow on peoples heads
like cows. DR.. Jenner paid no attention to
these reports, but kept steadily on with his
work of vaccinating all who would come.
Several doctors in India who felt that DIR.
Jenner not getting square deal presented
they had raised by popular subscription as a
rendered to humanity.
In 1904 the allied sovereigns held con-
ference in London DR.. Jenner was in the
city at the time and presented to the
Emperor of Russia, the Duchess of Gutenberg,
the King of Prussia, Butcher, Platof and many
other distinguished visitors.
His wife, after many years of feeble health,
died in 1915. He then retired from public life
and never left Berkeley again except for a day
two at time
His own death occurred in 1923 and he was
buried beside his wife in Berkeley Cathedral.
His trials and tribulations had been many, but
he had lived long enough to see the triumph
Of his great discovery.

at intervals. In this way fresh vaccine was
carried from arm TO arm The expedition
succeeded beyond its utmost expectations. The
results gave DR.. Jenner much genuine salts
faction and in some measure repaid him for
the anxiety and suffering he had endured from
the unjust attacks of many of his own coun-
trymen.
IN March of 1900 Dr. Jenner was graciously
received by his majesty the King The
doctor was dressed in velvet and girt, with a
sword in honor Of the occasion.
The Napoleonic wars were then in progress.
Napoleon had all of his soldiers vaccinated
who had not had smallpox. DIR. Jenner once
sent petition to him to hberate some English

Low Irish Income Tax
 Draws British Money

Dublin, June 20, (P--The lower income tax of the Free State as compared with England, especially with the recent addition 10 the British tax in the Snowden budget, has led to the hope that many wealthy Irlshmen who moved to England when the Free State was established will come back to Erin.
 The normal tax in England is now 50 per cent higher than the Saorstat rate and the super tax is also considerably lower here.
 Moreover there IS no immediate prospect Of increased taxation in Ireland The budget for the com ing year shows deficit Of roughly 56.750.o00 on a total income Of Sl21,25o,o ,o00, but the excess is re- garded as largely abnormal and will be raised by borrowing rather than by increased taxation

Hoover Suffers Reversss By Parker Rejection and Overwhelming Passage of Pension Bill.

Washington. June 20. (UP)- Cla!mlng the 1880 tariff act and the 1929 federal farm board law as it's |najor achievements, the second ses- slon of the list congress will ad- JouFn next week, probably Wedncs- day, to 90 before the people at the polls
 The session has been almost con- tinuous since President Hoover was inaugurated. and while there was much political discussion, little in addition to the two main items was rassed
 The record shows Mir Hoover fered only fairly well, at the hands O. this congress although he had a strong majority in the house and at least a theoretical and numerical majority in the senate He got very nearly what he wanted in the mat ter of farm relief and tariff act which included the flexible tariff clause and omitted the debenture
 His major reverses were suffered in the overwhelming rejection Of his veto upon the Spanish War Veter- an pension bill and the defeat ot his nominee, John J. Parker Of North Carolina. 10 be q justice of the United States supreme court.

This is particularly true of the law enforcement reform bills drawn by the Wickersham commis- son and ardently sponsored by the executive. Of thees measures on.y the bill transferring prohibition en- forcement 10 the justice department and the one improving conditions ln penal institutions have become laws. The half dozen others chang ing procedure In the courts are held up either in the house or sen- sta by the crush of other business.
 Proposals 70 repeal the Eigh- teenth Amendment have been stifled in committee 2s well as dry pro- pcs8ls to make the buyer of liquor equally guilty with the seller

 Among the measures ground be- tween the conflicting wills Of the two houses are: the Norris Muscle Shoals bill proposing limited gov ernment operation Of the Tennessee river power project; the Parker bus hlll regulating the newly developed Interstate rlo-orbus traffic; the Con- zens resolution proposing to suspend railroad mergers temporarily, the Harris bill restricting Mexican immi- grafton: and the three Wagner bills b create government agencies 10 meet the unemployment situation.
