CANCER ORGANISM
DISCOVERED HERE
Germ Of Breast Growth
Found by Doctors Working
With Public Health Service.
BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

Isolation Of a cro-orgarism which
produces cancer was announced today
by the Public Health Service.
The discovery promises to be one of
the most significant in the recent his
tory of medicine. If further tests bear
out those already reported by Drs. T. j
Glover and j. L. Engle, scientists work
ing in the laboratories of the National
Institute Of Health here, the implication
of cancer-carcinoma Of the human
breast-has been found.
Discovery of the cause, 1t Is stressed,
Is far from discovery Of cure, bus Is
an essential preliminary.
The find was officially made public
in the weekly issue of Public Health
Reports which came out today with
the stated purpose of placing en- record
the production Of matastatlc malignancy
in one of group Of guinea pigs inocu-
lated with a culture containing spOre-
bearing micro-organism which was iso-
lated, ON a special medium, from the
tissue Of microscopically proved car
cinoma Of a human breast"
One Of Most Common Types.
This is one of the most commonly
experienced types of cancer. It may
mean, according to Public Health ServI
ice officials, that cancer can be con-
tracted Like some infectious diseases.
Cancer Is now the second leading cause
of death in the United States.
The announcement is Of especial
Importance because it has been made
public from one of the most con-
servative American institutions for
experimental medicine, whose officials
believe that Glover and Engle have
found one cause for cancer. Scientists
in the past have tried vain1y to find
the cause of cancers which seemed
to appear spontaneously. It was
known that some appeared as a result
of tissue irritations, but the cause OF
most of them has remained mystery.
Glover and Engle believe they have
definitely proved that cancer can be
caused by a germ infection.
Theories Apparently Upset.
The two doctors were independent
investigators, who were allowed use
of the hygienic laboratory facilities
and worked under the supervision OF
Public Health Service officials.
The discovery apparently upsets pre-
vailing theories of cancer. The idea
that malignant growths might be the
result of micro-organism and might
be transmissible has generally been
given up by medical investigators, after
long record of failures to find such
an organism, and attention has of late
been concentrated on the chemical
makeup Of cancerous cells.
The experiments are considered as
especially convincing, because the
guinea pig is an animal in which 1t
has been difficult to produce cancer in
the past.
The growth presumably produced by
the micro-organism in the breast re-
gion of the female guinea pig was di-
agnosed as having the essential char
acteristics of cancer by Surgeon R. D.
Lille of the Public Health Service,
who is in charge of the pathological
work of the National Institute.

Recess Appointment to Juven-
lie Bench Held Illegal
BY D. C. Lawyers

There is no vacancy on the
Juvenile Court bench unless
Judge Kathryn Sellers resigns,
and this she has no intention
of doing, according to Judge
Sellers friends, who today
rallied to her support follow
ing the naming Of Miss Fay L.
Bentley to fill the Juvenile
Court post.
Judge Sellers declined to COM
.ment on the appointment of Miss
Bentley by President Roosevelt
yesterday but her friends stated
that the appointment is plainly
in disregard of the intention Of
Congress when it created the
Juvenile Court.
Statute Is Quoted
Section two of the Juvenile
Court act provides that the
judge of Juvenile Court shall
hold office for the term of six
years, cor until his successor
shall be appointed and con-
firmed."
BY this latter qualification,
which is not included in other
statutes governing appointments,
it is plain that Congress intended
that no recess appointments
should be made in the office of
Juvenile Court judge, according
legal lights.
Friends of Judge Sellers further
point out that the last Administra-
ton recognized this provision Of
the law in the case of Miss Pearl
Mccall who had been named by
President Hoover for the post
after expiration of Judge Sellers
term. The Senate failed to con-
firm Miss Mccall, but after Con-
gresS ended its term. no attempt
was made to place Miss Mccall in
the post by a recess appointment.
District Attorneys Cited
That Congress intended no
recess appointments to be made
in this post is further shown in
the statute governing appoint
ment of district attorneys, it is
said.
In cases of district attorneys
it is pointed out that they hold
office until their successors are
appointed and qualified" If
Congress had intended that only
an oath of office was necessary
for recess appointment of Juve-
nile Court judges, the word
qualified" would have been sub
stituted for confirmed" in the
Juvenile Court Act.
In further support Of their con-
tention, friends of Judge Sellers
point out that the juvenile court
act goes so far as to provide for
filling of vacancies due to i'll
health or death. This is done
by action of the District Supreme
Court in designating a Judge Of
the municipal court to fill the
vacancy until the disability Of
the juvenile court judge is either
removed or the post properly

tracts.
Paul E. Shorb, Washington at
torney representing Reynolds, tes-
titled that a belated income tax
return on these payments was
filed just a month ago, on Sep
tenber 26. 3,
The payments totaled $50 ,000s

Although admitting the belated
return had been made, Shorb OBJ
jected strenuously to its inclusion
in the Senate committees record
He also refused to divulge what

Later, Shrob> admitted that
Reynolds told the Internal ReVe
nue. Bureau the $4,000 was sub

"Under the penal statutes,
the return should be classed as
. voluntary one"

Chairman Jesse H. Jones, OF
the Reconstruction Finance

ing announcement.
'"The Reconstruction Finance

covered from natural deposits

Today's increase in price was
said not to be indicative that
it would be stepped up every
day. So long as the American
price is above the world price, it
was said, it might result in a
stabilization of the world price,
which would permit the Amer
ican price also to become more
stable.
Finance Corporation"
The American price of gold,
$31.54, compares with 130 shillings
9h pence an ounce on the London
Exchange. The American price
increased 18 cents as compared
with an increase of 812 pence( ap-
proximately II cents) in London.
The American price was about
48 cents higher than the world
market price in London. This
was practically the same differ
entail established yesterday. The
Treasury plans to maintain about
that ratio.
The differential, officials said,
will have no effect on imports
of gold, since the American offer
is for newly-mined gold only.

BANK WARNED
Of GRAFT
IN CUBA
Chase Officials Letter Pre-
Ceded "UnIoading" of Bonds
on Public, Senators Hear
By International News Service

President Gerardo Macha-
dos cabinet was guilty of
graft and waste of. public
funds, James Bruce, vice
president of the Chase Ma
tional Bank, reported to that
institute in July, 1880, it was
revealed today at the Senate
banking inquiry.
The Cuban government squan-
dered $18,O0O,0OO on its new Ha-
vana capitol and sought to graft
on $40,OOO,OO0 water works,
Bruce told the bank after a per-
sonal investigation of the Cuban
situation. His report was placed
in the record.
Z Debt Refinanced Later
Bruce made this report only a
few months after the bank floated
a $4,000, 900 bond issue for Cuba
and advanced Machado's govern
ment a $2o,OOO,OOO cash loan.
The capitol had been built on pro
ceeds of earlier loans, which were
refunded by the bond issue.
Bruce revealed the State De
partment was worried about the
cuban financial situation in
July, 1880. He made no men,
ton in his report, however, that
the State Department had ap'
proved the $4,000, 900 bond issue,
sold to the American people a
few months earlier.
Bruce reported that Machado's
cabinet members "were all rub
ber stamps for their chief" with
the exception of Carlos Miguel
de Cespedes, the secretary OF
treasury. He called Cespedes
dangerous" and chars ED he
"wasted" public funds.
Loan Made to Cespedes
The Chase bank previously
loaned Cespedes $275,788. Bruce
said:
"Cespedes has ideas of his
own, and they are dangerous.
He wants to spend all the money
he can get. He spent $18,OOO,-

Bruce declared Cespedes wanted
to build a $40,000,00O water works.
