new LIGHT ON INFECTION
FOUND IN PLANT DISEASES
Discovery May Be One Of Most I'm
portant Since Pasteur and Lis

By the Associated Press.
COLUMBIA, Mo-, September g.
Discoveries made by DR.. Carl G. Vim
son, professor of horticulture at the
University of Missouri, in experiments
with plants, tend to show that some in
! fectious or virus diseases are caused by
chemical compounds, or engines, and
not by microbes.
While his research work has been
based solely upon the study of plant
diseases, it has shed light on all ultra
microscopic infections, including in
fantile paralysis. and is described in
the current issue of the Journal of the
American Medical Association as pos
sibly one of the most important ad-
vances in the theory of infectious dis
eases since the work of Pasteur and
Lister.
DR.. Wilson'S research work shows
that the active principle of the virus
disease is not a living thing, capable of
self-multiplication and subject to con-
troll through immunity induced by a
specific serum, but is an arrangement
of atoms within the living tissue itself
causing degenerative changes.

While it has been known that Calvin
Coolidge was going to support the re-
election of Herbert Hoover the unstint-
ed praise given by the former President
to his successor in office in the article
called THE Republican Case" in the
Saturday Evening Post this week came
somewhat as surprise to the political
world.
Mr.. Coolidge's article is far more
effective campaign document for the
Republicans than any of the keynote
speeches. His treatment Of the depres-
sion and the difficulties facing Presi-
dent Hoover and the latter's methods in
meeting the crisis are a weaving to-
gether of the Republican argument with
the mastery hand of man who knows
from long experience in politics what it
is that the average man wants to know
and likes to hear.
Mr.. Coolidge does not try to appeal to
Democrats He recognizes that numeri-

Rapid Transit Train Hits Automobile
at Crossing Near Milwaukee.

MILWAUKEE, Wis. September 6 (P).
Fred A. Bushey, 3d. Milwaukee, was
killed and IS persons were injured last
night, when a speeding Rapid Transit
train, Eastbound from Waukesha, col
lided with an automobile at a crossing

Among the more seriously injured

skull fracture; Mrs. Little Church, Al,
of Winnetka, H., chest injuries.
Hospital attendants said Dague was
probably fatally injured. but the others
were expected to recover. Others given
hospital treatment are Milwaukee resi-
dents.
Bushey's automobile. in which he was
riding alone, was hurled about hun
dred feet against passenger station.
The first car of the train overturned
and rolled down an embankment,
throwing the occupants violently out OF

Veterans Sign Affidavits That
Explosives and Guns
Were Secreted.
D0DDS WILL PRESENT
EVIDENCE ON FRIDAY
Declines to Make Public Names of
Witnesses for Fear They Might
Be Approached"

Evidence intended to support charges
that explosives and guns were secreted
In the Bonus Army camps prior to the
riotlng here will be laid before the Dis
trict grand jury Friday by the Depart
ment of Justice.
Three World War veterans who were
members Of the B. e. F. today signed
affdavits in this connection at the Of
flee of Assistant Attorney General Nu-
gent Dodds, special Government prose-
cutor in the grand jury proceedings
growing out Of the riots.
Dodds said the statements of the
men, who have excellent war records.
were given voluntarily. The trio agreed
to appear as witnesses at the resumed
grand jury hearings, he said.
The Justice official declined to make
public the names of the men, express
ing fear that they might be ap-
preached"
Dodds said this trio and a number of
other witnesses will be called before
the grand jury. He said that in adoi-
ton to adding to the record" of the
inquiry, the witnesses may attempt to
Identify certain rioters whose photo
graphs are in possession of the Gov-
ernment.
May Identify Owners.
There is possibility, Dodds ex-
planned, that the witnesses can pick out
the owner of the explosives and arms
from pictures exhibited to them, in
which event indictments might follow.
One of the affidavits, signed by O
veteran wig vas awarded numerous
decorations .z5r exceptional bravery un-
der fire u che front line trenches, al
leges that the deponent saw seven and
one-hah sticks of dynamite and several
decorating caps in the billet of a bonus
marcher at Camp Marks, Anacostia.
There has been frequent reference in
the past to reports of the finding Of
dynamite at Camp Marks, the con-
sensus being that If dynamite was
found, 1t was confiscated by bonus army
officials and destroyed.
It Is believed the grand Jury Friday
will receive the first definite testimony
concerning dynamite at the camp.
Two Others to Testify.
Two other veterans with exceptional
war records will testify they saw guns
and pistols at Camp Glassford, Third
and Pennsylvania avenue, where most
of the rioting later developed. One OF
these veterans was an Ice cream bar
vendor and circulated among the billets.
One of the witnesses will say he saw
several revolvers on one bonus marcher.
Unless the witnesses are able to iden-
tify the owners of the arms from pho
tographs made during the disturbances
there Is little likelihood that the grand
jury will do more than accept the testi-
mony and add it to the lengthy record
Of the riot hearings.
So far only three indictments have
resulted from the inquiry, these being
handed down against a trio charged
with assault in connection with the
throwing of bricks during the riots at
Third street and Pennsylvania avenue.
This trio is awaiting trial, the men
being at liberty under bond.

vantage and that If he can persuade
Republicans to stay regular he will be
doing his candidate the best service.
There is something naive and yet
sophisticated about Mr.. Coolidge's han
ding of the Republican case, which can
be understood only if it is realized that
the former President wasn't writing for
the critics, but for the average man who
has been inclined to show his discon-
tent by attacks on the President and
his capacity as well as upon the Re-
publican regime for the economic condi-
tions of the last three years. Mr.. Cool
idge follows Republican strategy pretty
closely in dividing the depression into
three parts-the period before the Brit
ish went off the gold standard, the
panic that followed and now the period
Of recovery through the reconstruction
program of the government.
Like other Republican leaders, Mr..
Coolidge places much of the blame for
Americas troubles on events outside of
the control of the United States. He
even refers pointedly to the HAIRY fall

today to issue his third formal state
ment since his resignation last Thurs
day night, and political observers be-
lieve this statement may be an an
nouncement that he will run for re-
election, provided a special election is
held this Fall
In the two previous statements-one
accompanying his resignation and the
other issued last Saturday-Walker did
not say definitely that he would be a
candidate. He said only that he was
placing his case in the hands of the
people Of New York.
A conference between Walker and
New York City Democratic leaders ap-
peared today to be a possibility, with
reports that John F. Curry, Tammany
leader, was coming here from Lenox,
Mass, where he has been spending a
short vacation, and that John H.. Nc
Cooey, the Brooklyn leader, was en- route
from his Summer home at Breton
Woods, N. H.
Neither Curry nor McCooey has stated
his stand on the possibility of backing
Walker for reelection. Curry has
made no public statement at all since
Walkers resignation and McCooey's
only remark has been that it wasn't at
all certain whether Walker would run.
Mayor Walker spent the Labor day
week end at the home of A. c. Bs1men-
thai, theatrical producer, in Westchester
County.
He was to leave there late today and
