DIED FROM EXPERIMENT
Cbntracted Disease From Mi

to Pneumonia
Dr Courtland Y. White, city bac
teriologist, believes that the bacillus Iso
lated by Major H Q. Gibson, of the Brit
ish army. Just before his death In France
from pneumonia, probably Is the dlstlnc- ,
live germ of Influenza. '

fleer, with Major Bowman, of the Ca
nadian army medical corps, and Cap
tain Connor, of the Australian army
medical corps, had been experimenting.
In an effort to Isolate the bacillus which
Is the cause of the disease.
Major Glbfon had published a pre
liminary report of his work In the Brit
ish Medical Journal December 14, 1918.
Recently, when working with a peculiar
ly virulent strain of the baclllu", lie de
v eloped Influenza himself and died of
pneumonia which developed later
Oerm Not Visible Under mass
The British experimenters had con
cluded that the disease was caused by
a germ so small that it Is not visible
under the microscope and pastes read
ily through the porcelain filters used In
bacteriological work.
"I knew that similar work had been
done In France by Doctor Nlcalle." said
Doctor White today commenting upon
Major Gibson's death, "t knew that a
group of British bacteriologists wero
working along the same lines also. 1
Imagine both Doctor Nlcalle and Doctor
Gibson were working on the same
theory, which 1 believe Is the correct
one, namely, that the disease Is caused
by a bacillus too small to be visible, and I
capable of passing through the porcelain I

was able to set up the disease by in-
oculattng monkeys with cultures of this
bacillus. Whether this will finally be
denominated tho influenza bacllldV I
do not know,
"It Is clear that the Pfelffer ba-
j-clllus. Isolated In 1892, and heretofore
looked upon as the germ which caused
Influenza, Is not the true Influenza ha-
LClllUs. We have Isolated the Pfelffer
Laclllus In the recent epidemic, but It
kes not produce the bacteriological
action under test that would lead us
believe It caused the disease.
"During the last great epidemic of
nfluenza before this recent one, back In
1889, bacteriology had not advanced far
nough for much to be learned about
me germ which causes the dlseae.
rfeiffer naeillijo Found
Toward the end of the epidemic the
lifter taclllue was discovered. It was
ause of a laboratory accident when
IPfeiffer bacillus was being studied.
Utlng In the inoculation of one of
acterlologlsts wltn the germ and
development ot symptoms, of influ
enza, that led to the conclusion that
fth Pfelffer bacillus was the causative
agent of Influenza."
Doctor White said that the small
bacillus found by Major Gibson had not
'been Isolated here.
''Right after the epidemic we began
work in a big way In the city bacterio
logical laboratories. But the needs of
the war took away so large a part of

The Peace Conference plans to reach
agreements on more Important ques

15, according to Captain Andte Tar

He said the conference had four
vital problems to solve the Franco
German frontier, the Adriatic situation,
the UusMan frontier and freedom of the
seas. All these questions probably will
be completed In a foitnlght.
Captain Tardleu said France does not
desire to annex the left bank of the
Rhine, but only wants guarantees to
prevent Its use as a base for attacking
France. The Russian question will be
considered late next week.

wall of his room to gold.
"De fah, lah so man," he remarked,
pleasantly,
"Yes, Isn't It?" agreed the caller.
Casual chat ensued for a fleeting while

WORLD "GENIUS" DETAINED
Solemn Prisoner With 'Important
I Mission' Held for Observation
General disarrangement of the uni
verse might have been remedied this
morning had Maglsttnte Pennock at
Central Station hearkened to the pleas
of Thomas Krehse, professional fixer of
all things out of joint, nnd allowed him
to go free.
Instead, the magistrate was curious
about how tho world's wrongs were to
be righted, and held the man for further
observation.
Arraigned to give nn occount of him-
II, lIl.-llse an ;-tt-u Hiirir nc u,i-u.
With great solemnl-y he studied tho face
of hg nnrent watch, and answered:
"Court house, fifty-two minutes past
ten.
"You're on time, all right," said the
magistrate, glancing at the clock, "but
what has that got to do with It?"
"Why, Judge, you cannot possibly be
thinking of detaining me!" exclaimed
the prisoner Indignantly. 'T have Im
portant business to attend to. There's
the moon, and the stars, and the high
cost of living, and everything. I've got
to fix them all. U'bye,, Judge!"
Not so the Judge. It was a new speci
men to him, but he was willing to learn
more about It, and Krehse's dive for the
door ended in a patrolman's strong arms.

NAMES OF ANTI-VARE
VOTERS ARE RESTORED
Registration Commissioners
Lose Contest Staged in
Spring Primary Fight
The Superior Court has dismissed the
appeal of the Board of Registration
Commissioners from the decision cf Com
mon Pleas Ctourt No. 4, which last May
ordered nie commissioners to restore to
the voting list nearly 1000 names. These
names had been summarily dropped
without notice to the electors.
The decision of the lower court was
rendered In the proceedings brought by
John C. Winston and others for an In
junction against what was alleged to be
a Vare scheme operated by the commis
sioners The complaints attacked the
Jurisdiction of the commissioners to
make a revision of the voters' list at any
time they pleased prior to election. It
was argued that the meaning of the act
was a limitation of these powers to a
certain petlod prior to election day.
It was further argued that the Regis
tration Commissioners could not watt
until almost the eve of election and then
on their own vlolltlon start to probe the
assessor's lists.

NEEDS 75 M1LLI0I
Vast Sum Planned for 1911
Improvements and
Extensions
MOST ON EASTERN LINES
Much of the Work Was Au
ihorizcd in 1918, but
Not Done
The Pennsylvania Railroad this year
will need about 875,000,000 fqr cqulp-1
ment and extensions, according to Its an-J
nual budget.
Of this Bum, It la figured the lneil
east of Pittsburgh will need nearly)
860,000,000.
The estimates of the federal manage"?
for the lines east of Pittsburgh were
passed over to the corporate managers
early this week for recommendations,
suggestions and approval. In round fig
ures, the program for the eastern parj
of the big system foots up between
40,000,000 and $16,000,000.
In addition to that Is 811,000,000 asj
the cost of that part of the 7000 newl
freight cars allocated to the eastern 4
lines by the railroad administration.
Mneh Work Already Authorised
A large part of the work In tha pro
gram for this year Is that left over!
tiom 1918 uncompleted or not started,
a'though authorized, The lines east com
piled about 60 per cent of the 11
program, which, 4s authorized up to
December 1 last. Involved 3100.600.000.
For the entire Pennsylvania Railroad ,
system the 1918 program as first sharp
ly contracted by tho ratlroad adminis
tration, and subsequently expanded a :
tne need Became manifest, totaled $13.
400,000. That sum Included 186,100,.
000 fori additions and betterments, fit,.
700,000 for equipment and 16,600,000 for
new lines and extensions.
Labor shortage during most f last
)ear, difficulty In rettlnr minnlv hi.
terlals and the financial troubles e-f the j
railroad administration, which at tha
close of tha year owed the railroads of
the country 1381,807,000 on rental ac
count, held up a big part of the pro-
jectea worK.
Work Expected Authorized Seen
With the 3750,000,000 additional ap
propriation to the railroad administra
tion revolving fund It ls expected that
the Washington authorities will au
thorize general resumption of work cut
off a few weeks ago, when funds ran
out.
At that time about JU, 000,000 of. '
construction work on the Pennsylvania,
lines east of Pittsburgh was Btopped,
and several thousand men thrown out
of employment. Traffic on the Penn
sylvania Railroad now Is reduced to
about 70 per cent In volume of what It
was last fall. Thousands ot cars and
scores ot locomotives are laid up Idle.
