and the Vc 0. I. Oo.'h contentions, In

next few years W'H amount to a very
considerable sum. nnil therefore the

"A a matter of several million

U considered in pfficrmanent and not

the possibility of developing the gas

This would lead to thd production of

Soldier Republican Party Seeks
.to Rout Machine Forces.
Bosses Worried
IGNORE COMPROMISE OFFER
The "Soldier Republican Party"
formally f-tnrted a political offensive
In Aldan. Delaware County. Inst night,
nnd there are Indications that the ma
chine forces In that section will be com
pletely routed.
Influential citizens of the borough in
dorsed tho new party at n quiet meet
ing In the home of one of the residents,
and -declared they would roll up their
sleeves and go to work for the cnndl
dotes who will bo named by the new or
ganization. The now party, started a few weeks
ago as n joke, but the regular machine
Republicans of the borough took It so
seriously that the joke became a reality.
It has thrown n scare Into the camp
of Republican machine followers, it Is
said, who realize that they probably
will have a stiff battle at the coming
September primary.
Regular organization supporters
rhriH'gcd their shoulders nnd elevnted
their eyebrows on hearing that some of
the World War veterans Intended to
run for offices In the borough. Now
they nre stroking their chins and won
dering what is to be done about it.
Although the soldiers candidates will
make n bid for nomination for borough
offices on the regular Republican ticket
they will conduct their campaign under
the slogan of the Soldier Republican
Party.
Influential citizens of Aldan, ns well
as those at the county unitMedia, will
help the soldier movement, it is said,
by sending speakers to help In the coin
ing campaign.
The vetenuiH have tentatively selected
the following candidates for the offices
named, nnd all fought in tim World
War : Burgess, Frank W. Hagamnn ;
Collector of Taxes, Benjamin F. Kr
kcrt : Councilmen, Bertram Kdwards,
Rnliih F.nrlo and .Tnmos Glllcn. Two
public school tenchers will be named
os candidates for the School Board.
Convinced tlint the soldier movement
might sweep the machine followers out
of office, a lender of the latter, It Is
said, has already tried to trade or com
promise. This leader, it is said, offered
to support two of the soldiers' council
manic candidates If the veterans would
turn In for the gang candidates for
Burgess. Tho offer woh ignored.
As no financial reward 1st attached to
t'ie borough offices, except In the case
of tax collector, promoters of the new
movement cannot be charged with com
mercialism. Frank W. nagnman, prospective
candidate for Burgess, Is one of the or
ganizers of the new movement. He hns
offices in the Harrison Building, Fif
teenth nnd Market streets.
"We want' to obtain real Improve
ments," he said, "nnd the new move
ment is pledged to that caue. We es-pi-clally
need adequnte sewers. The bor
ough expects to flont a $-15,000 loan for
this work. Should the candidates op
posed to mnchine rule be elected, they
will see that the money is properly ex
pended nnd endeavor to obtain for the
residents 100 cents for every dollar."
We expect to hold onr meetings right
out iu tho open in order that the people
of the community may see what we are
doing at all times."

DOCTOR RISKS LIFE
TO PROVEA THEORY
Prof. Rosenbergor Now Knows
You Can Detect Poisonous
Olives by Odor
DUBS PET MOUSE "MOTHER"
Ripe olives containing deadly poison
can be distinguished from non-polson-ous
ripe olives by their odor.
Dr. Handle f Rosenberger, pro
fessor of hygiene and bacteriology nt
Jefferson College, believed this and
risked his life to prove It.
He Is still alive and kicking on the
top tloor of the Jefferson College build
ing, nt Tenth nnd Walnut streetH.
among his test tubes, milk samples,
microscopes, slides, guinea pigs, white
mice nnd rabbits.
Dr. Rosenberger did not-cnt ripo
olives with it bad odor to prove thnt
they would kill him. He ntc ripe olives
with a pleasantly aromatic odor, nnil
Ills' loyal assistant ate them, too, to
lu-ove that If an olive smells all right
It will not cnuse death by poison.
The baetVrloliiglst took a keen Inter
est in tlio recent case ut Grecnsburg.
Pa., where three persons died nfter
eating ripe olives at n dinner party.
He not only obtained some of the olives
taken from the snmo bottle ns those
which killed the three persons', but he
also got ripe olives from the store nt
which tho deadly olives were obtained.
How to Tell 'Km
"Here is one of the deadly olives,"
said Dr. Rosenberger, pulling tho corl
from a bottle and shoving It forwnrd.
'Hie olive nnd its liquor gave forth nn
odor slightly sharper and more cr
gttmcy than roquefort cheese. The
liquor was clouded.
He had noticed that odor Immediately
upon opening the deadly olives. Th
odor was absent In the other bottles of
olives obtained at Grecnsburg.
Dr. Rosenberg had nlso noticed this
in previous studies of botulism. II"
wns convinced thnt olives affected by
the poisonous bacillus could be dis
tinguished by the odor.
Three guinea pigs were inoculated
with the liquor from the deadly olives.
One was given n large quantity. It
died in sW hours. Another wns giver:
i small quantity, through inoculation,
nnd it died iu twelve hours. Still an
other wns Inoculated with the liquor
after it had been filtered. The third
pig died in forty -eight hours.
Bread was soaked ill the liquor nnil
was fed to both guinea ijigs and white
mice.
"Did they die, too?" Dr. Rosen
berger wns asked.
"Hello, Mother"
"No," he saidK lending the way to
his menagerie.
"Hello, mother." he said, petting a
mother mouse nlTecttouately on th"
nose. "Vou enjoyed the olives, didn't
you?"
He then pulled n inbbit's ear, spoke
n few words to tho guinea pigs that hail
survived their olive-juice dinner, und
'cturncd to his laboratory.
After the three guinea pigs hod died
of inoculntlou from the lll-smelllng
olive liquor Dr. Rosenberger took sev
eral olives from one of the pleasantly
odored bottles and ate them.
"What did your wife say about
that?" ho was asked.
"She didn't know." he replied.
As ho worked with his tubes nnd
retorts Dr. Rosenberger then told of
the origin ot 'botulism, or bacillus
botulinus.
"Botulism," he said, "wos originally
described following poisoning from
meat, especially sausage, and wns
known for a long time as sausage
poisoning.
"It is due to tin organism colled
bacillus botulinus. That has been
found In most prodncts cnuslng cases
of poisoning. Apart from meats nnd
sausage, the mini- train of symptoms
hns been found following the eating of
other foodstuffs, particularly home
canned, vegetables, ns beans, corn and
asparagus, and within the last two
ycirs cases have come to our notice
through the eating of ripe olives.
Hero's n Warning
"Any food that is Infected with this
organism gives off n rancid, offensive
odor. A person who opens canned or
bottled stuff nnd detects an untoward,
randd odor should throw the contents
away, for the simple reason that while
the organism cannot be found, a deadly
poison has been found nnd a mouse or
guinea pig succumbs to one-millionth
of a cubic centimeter of thnt poison.
"This can be demonstrated by tbe
inoculation of nnlmnls and feeding of
animals, ns this is one poison thnt
causes symptoms ond death through
the alimentary canal, whereas most
poisons nre deadly only through In
oculating either tho skin or blood.
"In thct.0 recent experiments, while I
Inoculation of these ollies caused death !
in tnreo guinea pigs, no effect wns no
ticed in mice nnd guinea pigs wben fed
upon these same olives.
"The symptoms come on In a vm
short time after eating food. The pro'
nounced symptoms complained of are

double vision, difficulty In swallowing
nnd pnrnlysis of the muscles of the
throat and extremities.
"Very rarely is n person saved who
exhibits these symptoms of botulism,
although a scrum has been made and
used iu n small number of cases. The
number is too small to say whether
the mtiiiii Is useful or not."
Asked why ripe olles cnuse the fntal
poisoning, while green olives, rniely
have caused It. Dr. Rosenberger
said :
"One theory why ripe olives pro
duce symptoms more than unripe olives
it. that the olive is really ovcr-rl
!r-rlpe,
of dc-
nnd possibly In an early state

Spirit of Co-operation Prevail.
Werjleln Is Pleated
A spirit of co-operation between City
Council and the Voters' Dengue toward
effecting n satisfactory leaso for th
Frankford Dlcvntrd Line is indicated
by n statement issued today by Richard
Wegleln, president of Council,
Suggestions concerning amendment
to the lease made by counsel for tho

Transportation and Public Utilities
Committee by Mr. Wegleln nt its next
meeting.
Mr. Wegleln said :
in response to n letter sent by dm
two weeks ago to the Voters' League
of Philadelphia. In which I stated 1
would be very glad to consult with the
new organization on mutters pending
In Council. I received n message from
Jnmes Collins Jones, ono of the attor
neys of the league, suggesting n con
ference. "I visited Mr. Jones at his office in
the Bullitt Building nml the vnrlous
amendments suggested to the proposed
lease between the city and the Philadel
phia Rapid Transit Co. for the opera
tion of the Frnnkford L'lcvntcd were
discussed.
"Mr. Jones mode several helpful
suggestions which I nm giving con-.
Blderntion and which will be submitted

"Didn't Know It Was Loaded"
Patrolman Conrnd Hnss, of the
Brnnchtown stntlnu, failed to notice R
enrtridge in his pipe when he lighted it
Thursday nt the station house. Ho
will leave the Jewish Hospital tomor
row. Where, within $100 qf the
new Hupmobilt! price, would
you match the sound, known
value of the Ilupmobilc? If
you pay more, would the
value be equally greater?
At n lower price, would less
car value and inferior per
formance satisfy you.
