Body Not Dwarfed by Weed,
Says Meylan, After Ex
haustive Tests. :
EXAMINES 687 STUDENTS
Tobacco Does Xot Dwarf .Height or
Lungs, but May, in Some Cases,
Affect the Heart, Says
Physical Director.
NEW YORK. March 1. (Special.) Dr.
ioorpe L. Meylan, physical director of
Columbia University, hug Just completed
KtatjBiics showing the effect of the use of
tobai-co ami alcohnlic beverages upon 6S7
students, mostly freshmen, who have at
tended Columbia in the last two years.
The results contradict to some extent
the finding of Dr. J." V. Seaver, the Yale
physical director, who, in a recent series
of similar tests, discovered that the use
of tobacco tcnu:d not only to stunt the
growth of undergraduates, but also to re
turd their mental development. Dr. Mey
lan has found that the physical condition
of the smokers that is, their weight,
"height,, lung capacity and total strength
is, on the average, better than that of
the non-smokers.
- Age- May Be Factor,
To fiome extent this superiority may
he explained by' the fact that the smok
ers w.tc older, their average age being
10 years and 10 months, as against 19
years and S months for the non-smokers.
About !'0 per cent of the smokers ex
amined were freshmen in Columbia Col
lege and the schools of mines, engineer
ing and chemistry. The remaining 10 per
cent wTe new, students in the Jaw and
graduate schools of the university.
Out of the 6b7 men examined, 141 used
alcoholic beverages, or nearly 2t per cent
of the tot ul number. This represents a
proportion of one smoker out of every
thrie In freshman class. Great care was
taken in examining the men, and the fig
ures are said to be exceedingly accurate.
Accepted Theories Itefuted..
The two most significant facts brought
out by the tost, according to Dr. Meylan,
are that smoking does not affect the lung
capacity, as is generally, supposed; nei
ther does ft seem to have any effect upon
the height of the Individual. On the con
trary, it was found that in these meas
urements as well as the others the smok
ers excelled.
It is pointed out by Dr. Meyltfn, how
ever, that by lung capacity he does not
tm-an what is commonly called ''wind."
"When a man is short of breath he is
said, among athletes, to have no "wind,"
hut this, according to Dr. Meylan, has
nothing to do with the capacity of the
lungs, but with the condition of the
heart, which he admits may be affected
by tobacco.
Effect on Heart and .Nerves.
.. The inference drawn by Dr. Meylan is
that the popular belief concerning the
injurious effects yf tobacco is largely ex
aggerated. He makes no attempt to deny
that smoking has its bad effects upon
the luitrt and the nervous system, but he
does maintain that smoking may be in
dulged in . by the average healthy indi
vidual In moderation without appreciable
damage to his physical condition.
"Most school text-books on hygiene,"
he said In explanation of his theory,
"contain the assertion that nicotine not
only stunts the growth but reduces the
lung capacity. 1 do not think thatj there
is evidence to support either of these
statements. As a matter of fact, we
know very little about the effect of to
bacco upon the human body.
,-I am one of those who are Inclined to
class tobacco among those peculiar sub
stances which sic poisonous to certain
individuals. Pome persons, for instance,
cannot eat strawberries without being
poisoned, though the majority of us are
not so affected.

AI.KANY. N Y.. March 1 The Tublic
Service Commission lias decided that

the application of the Krie Railroad Com
pany for authority from the commission
to issuo such dividends upon its first and

A.trittirie that the ciH hlfTids declared

When any one of the. conditions of the

case, the commission has nm authority to
Issua'.an order authorising the desired issue.
ly the declaration of a scrip dividend
and -the Uaulng of the warrants evidencing
the same, the' company secures, nothing
which It did not possess before, a dividend
is the dividing of property among the atock
holders; It is the direct opposite of secur
ing of capital. It is parting with it. A
promise to divide in the future is simply a
promise to part with that property in the
future. The corporation secures nothing by'
the dividend. After- declaring the divi
dend it possesses no capital which it did not
pOAseas hefore. The money which it prom
ises to divide at a future time wrll remain
the money of the corporaUon. It can be ap
plied to any lawful purpose of the corpora
tion at the discretion of the directors', and
after the declaration of a dividend payable
In the- future It has no more power or
authority over the fund which It promises
ta divide than it had before the declaration
of the dividend.
Since one of the conditions or the issuing
of an -evidence of indebtedness under sec
tion ." is- the securing of capital for the
uses of the corporation, anil the commission
must certify that the capital so to be se
cured is reasonably required for certain pur
poses. It Is clear that the warrant evidenc
ing a scrip dividend cannot be issued under
that section for the plain Reason that no
capital is secured thereby.
FORCING THE VSE OF PHONES
Nine-Hour Law Causes Railroads to
, Discard the Telegraph.
CLEVELAND. O.. March 1. The nine
hour law for railroad telegraphers, which,
becomes effective next Wednesday, is
hastening1 the.' use of the telephone in t.e
operation of trains, according to A. S.
Ingalls, assistant general superintendent
of the Lake Snore Road, in an interview.
"I believe." said Mr. Ingails. "that the
new law regulating working hours will
bring about In one year what it would
have taken ten years to accomplish In
the direction of new use of telephones on
railroads. Since October, tests have
proved so satisfactory that railroads in
many parts of the country "have stirred
themselves." .
UP FOR FLEET
LOS ANGELES TO SPEND $16,000
IN ENTERTAINMENTS.
Oregon Colony in Southern Califor
nia Plans Picnic for
Pioneer Day.
LOS ANGELES, March L (Special.)
In anticipation of the coming of the
Atlantic squadron, for anchorage in the
waters of the harbors adjacent to this
city, extraordinary preparations are being
made for the entertainment of the officers
and men of the fleet. Present Indications
are that the vessels will be &o disposed
in the adjacent harbors as to satisfy
the greatest number of sightseers. The
ships will probably be strung along from
Long Beach and San Pedro to Redondo,
Venice and Santa Monica. At least $16,-
000 will be spent by the leJfal committee
in the entertainment of the marines. Of
this sum the county has appropriated
$.--010 out of the general fund raised by
taxation and thereat the people are
raising a howl. There is a similar com
plaint in the city, arising from the, ap
propriation by the City Council of a like
sum from the municipal treasury. But
there will be a hearty welcome, a joyous
reception and an elaborate entertainment
covering the entire time the ships are
on l!his coast.
The last Legislature introduced an in
novation In the political code that is
raising a storm of objection among the
rank and file of all political parties. The
new law provides that In all cities where
the primary election law is in force each
elector shall declare the name of the
political party with which he intends to
affiliate at the ensuing primary election;
and if the elector declines to state the
fact he shall not be entitled to vote at
the primary election. This declaration
shall be made by the elector at the time
of registration. Many voters are de-.
dining to declare themselves, holding that
such declaration would practically tie
their hands and not leave them frte to
express their choice at the polls. There
Is much objection to the new law.
Down at Brawley,. in the Imp?rial val
ley, they are experimenting with the
growing of cantaloupes under canvas.
The gardeners expect by this means to
protect the early tines from the wind
and Xrost and thereby be enabled to send
their melons to market fully three weeks
earlier than ordinarily. The muslin pro
tector costs about eight cents for each
hill and consists of a square of muslin
the size of a handkerchief, held by
crossed wires over the tender vines. The
wires are stuck into the ground and to
them the corners of the muslin are tied.
The wind is conquered and the covering
thus afforded prevents the , frost from
nipping the tender shoots.
The local colony of Oregonians has per
fected the organization of the Oregon
Society of Southern California. Seymour
Condon, of Pasadena, is the president
and definite arrangements will soon be
made for an Oregon picnic and outing
on Pioneer day. The site selected will
be at some beach or mountain top and
the day will be a rallying one for all
former residents of Oregon and sojourn
ing Webfeet.
ANDREW HAMILTON DEAD
Former Life Insurance Counsel Suc
cumbs to Heart Attack.
ALBANY. X. T., March 1. Andrew
Hamilton, formerly counsel for the New
York Life and other insurance companies
and in charge, for many years, of in
surance litigation and legislative mat
ters in this country and Canada, was
found dead this morning in bed at his
home In this city. He was about the city
yesterday afternoon and last night ap
parently in normal health and his death
was entirely unexpected, although he had
boon falling to some - extent ever since
the death of Mrs. Hamilton last July.
An autopsy this afternoon disclosed an
acute dilation of the heart, which must
have caused practically instantaneous
death at some time during the night.
Judge Hamilton. so called because
he was twice elected judge of the Albany
"ity Court, was widely w known, tn a
popular way, by the connection of his
name with disclosures regarding political
and legislative masters during the in
surance investigation of 1IH5. Judge
Hamilton was 54 years old. He was for
nrly District Attorney of Albany
County, clerk of the State Court of Claims
and during the past 10 or 15 years had be
come widely known as an authority upon
corporation and especially upon insur
ance law., .

San Francisco Will Spend
$500,000 for' Protection .
Against the' Plague.! !
READY RESPONSE TO CALL
In Addition to High Rents, Taxes
and Insurance, Citizens Will
. Also Raise $100,000 for
. -Fleet Entertainment.
BY 'TP. A. SINSHEIMER.
SAX FR.VNCJ9CO. March 1. (Special.
All of San Ktaneisco has its hand out
asking for money. Moreover, it man
ages to collect. Though times are not
propitious, the need is urgent and re
fusals are rare. The city is 'raising- the
largest amount .it ever undertook to ob
tain by public contributions, anS there is
little reason to doubt that Jt will get
oil if hoa Ciit.ntit fnf '
In the first place the citizens health
committee has undertaken to raise $500,000
to stamp out all traces of bubonic plague.
At the same lime the committee in charge
of the fleet celebration has fixed its mark
at $100,000. Insurance is high, business
is no better than elsewhere, the unem
ployed hold weekly meetings, but courage
is high, the new crops are coming on
and the old pockets still yield up their
gold.
. The citizens have pledged SflO.OW to Dr.
Rupert Blue. Federal expert in charge of
the sanitation, and mean to collect it to
the last cent. The fleet committee has
arranged an elaborate programme that
must be paid for. Everyone agrees that
the money must be collected1, so the pay.
ments are cheerfully made.
Comes at Bad Time.
It would be a simple problem in ordin
ary times for San Francisco, under ordin
ary conditions, but both the times and the
conditions are unusual. The citizens axe
assuming large financial burdens at this
time in addition to the usual run of
taxes, insurance and the thousand and
one little obligations. In the first place
every neighborhood in San Francisco has
its imprevement club. The improvement
clubs carry forward large movements
necessitated by the fire that cost big
money. The North Central Improvement
Club, for Instance, composed of men in
the financial district, paj' out of their
own - pockets for the sprinkling and
sweeping of the streets, in their neighbor
hood. The Geary-street Improvement
Club has installed ornamental street
lamps and pays for. the lighting along
the thoroughfares.-- The Mission Improve
ment Club carries forward expensive pro
jects in the Mission district.
Another item of expense has been added
in the reorganization of all the private
charities which, until recently, were cared
for to some extent in the general relief
work. Bazaars, fetes, dances and the
usual run of entertainments crowd, the
calendar for the benefit of the charitable
organizations. Moreover they all make
money, and lots of.it." At the police
man's ball, an annual event given as a
benefit to the widows and orphans fund,
the sum of $16,000 was cleared this week.
On Saturday comes the blossom fete for
the Telegraph Hill Settlement Club. The
benefit play for the Children's Hospital
has just been held. The coming week will
witness a renewal of the charity festival.
Big Checks Tour In.
Hardly had the announcement been
made that $Tfl0.O0O was wanted for the
campaign against the rats before the fire
underwriters sent their check for $10,000.
The Merchants' Exchange announced that
It would raise $100,000 among its members.
Several business houses sent sums of $1000
and $fi000. Individuals have offered $100 a
month as long as heeded. The largest
contribution, however, will come from the
Southern Pacific. It will be a .monthly
contribution of generous proportions, the
exact sum to be announced later. The
Santa Fe and other railroads will con
tribute generously. .
Something like $-"i.000 has already been
raised for the entertainment of the fleet.
Another $30,000 was counted on from the
saloons, but this sum may be withheld
as an agitation has recently been begun
to raise the liquor license fee from $500
to $1000 a year. In view of the agita
tion, the contribution may be withheld.
Great headway has been made in the
fight against the plague during the last
week. The entire state has been aroused
and a thorough house-cleaning is going
on in almost every city in California,
The slightest violation of the strict sani
tation ordinances is vigorously prosecuted
by lawyers specially delegated by the
Bar Association to aid the District At
torney. Householders and restaurant
men are fined for leaving the covers from
garbage cans. Fines are imposed for
throwing refuse of any sort into a vacant
yard or lot. Fruit and meat must be
screened. Vegetables must be protected
from the dust. Stables must be made as
sanitary as residences. Dr. Blue is
greatly encouraged at the progress made.
There has been but one case of plague in
4S days.
Catch 2500 Rats Daily. -
Rats are now being caught at the rate
of 2500 a day. A devire has been arranged
which will aid materially 1n the work of
extermination- Screens are placed in
the sewers to prevent the passage of the
rodents. These screens are placed at first
In the outlying sections of the city and
gradually moved toward a common cen
ter. In this way the rats, which infest
the sewers by thousands If not by mil
lions, are herded into narrower and nar
rower spaces. The process is not unlike
the famous rabbit drives of Eastern Ore
gon. When the rodents shall have been
corraled into limits sufficiently narrow
the work of annihilation will be' greatly
simplified.
The rat population of San Francisco
was figured at 2.&u0,0C0 when the Federal
officers began work. This is an allowance
of five rats to every inhabitant, with
an addition for the special conditions pre
vailing in San Francisco. The figures are
those supplied by Dr. Blue. The little
animals multiply with wonderful rapidity,
but the work of the officials has re
duced the number to less than 2,000,000
It is expected that by the end of six
months the number will iave been, re
duced to 500.000 or less. Strict observance
of the sanitary laws now in. force will
result in the starvation of the rodents.
In fact it is figured that far more will
be accomplished by the process of starva
tion than by trapping.. In time It is be
lieved the city ran be made entirely rat
proof. .
Iess Contagion ow.
One of the most encouraging features
of the situation, lies in the fact that
whereas the percentage of contagion in
tho rats a few weeks ago amounted to
iu per cent. it has now fallen below
1 per cent and is still on the tfecline.
The Federal anthorities have in their
employ some men, the majority of
whom are rat-catchers. The city has
been divided into districts and a house-to-house
Inspection, bejwin. District meet
ings are held every night at which the
question, is discussed. Cooperation with
the Federal authorities is general. Dr.
Blue has the same supreme command and
unlimited power as a General in time of
war. .
At the endi of the present fiscal year
the Supervisors will appropriate $800,000
for a municipal garbage plant and a like
sum for sanitation work during the year.
The Legislature will be asked to make a
large appropriation to assist in the work.
The work being done so thoroughly and
extensively at the present time. It should
be stated, is not so much in fear of an
outbreak at the present time or the near
future as it is the expression of a de
termination to rid the city for all time
from the menace of such a disease.

FLEET AT .CULM
TORPEDO FIOTITLA ARRIVES
ix flve condition:
Panther Ieft Behind by Battleships
to Round Up Few Sailors
lief t Behind.
CATiT.AO, March 1. The American
torpedo-boat flotilJa, which left Talca
huano on February 25, arrived here today.
The commander of the flotilla, Lieutenant
H. I. Cone, declared that throughout the
voyagre of 1500 knots the weather was
fine and conditions auch that Rood time
to tne Peruvian port was possime. The
destroyers arrived In splendid condition,
not a hitch having occurred to mar the
passage.
Lieutenant Cone speaks highly of the
hospitality received at the hands of the
Chileans and was particularly pleased
with the services rendered by Lieutenant
Commander Rexas of the Chilean navy,
who acted in the capacity of pilot through
the inner passage from Punta Arenas to
Xalcahuano.
It is expected the flotilla will remain
here until March 9, sailing on that date
for Panama.
The Panther did not leave with the
battleships which sailed yesterday, being
ordered to remain at port for a number
of sailors who were missing at the time
of the fleet's departure. It is expected
that these will be rounded - up, as
measures have been taken to keep a care
ful watch for the men who failed to re
port for duty. As a matter of fact these
number few and in all the number of
deserters at the various ports at which
the fleet touched is a minimum
Prior to the departure of the battle
ships, "21 mail bags, which had Just ar
rived, were put aboard tho ships. Presi
dent Pardo presented to each of the
Admirals a handsomely-bound book on
Peru.
MR. WU TALKS STRAIGHT

Is Fixed Fact in America.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 1. At a
banquet given today In honor of Chi

Chinese merchants of San Francisco,
Minister Wu is reported to have given
utterance to some significant remarks,
the tenor of which was that the ex
clusion of the Chinese laborers from
the United States is a fixed fact, and
those who make attempts to oppose
the exclusion laws or to violate them
are acting 111-advisedly and against the
Interests of the Chinese, rie Bald that
his aim from this time on would be to
secure- better treatment for the exempt
classes of Chinese in the United States
and larger trade relations between the
United States and China.
