Lieut. Comdr. Rosendahl, in the Scientists Think Experiment bill for war Decides to Continue Repre- { eentations to Congress. Members of the Citizens’ Advisory Council at an informal conference vesterday afternoon decided to con- tinue fn thelr efforts to have Congress provide the people of Washington with adequate bathing facilites by next Summer. Tt also was agreed by the council- men that if Budget Director Lord grants thelr request for a hearing when the District estimates are taken up September 24, they will advocate all of the items which they recom- mended to the Commissioners early in the Summer, aggregating close to $39,000,000. Spokesmen Are Named. The council voted vesterday to dele- gate Chairman Jesse C. Suter, Dr. George C. Havenner and Dr. George H. Richardson to be spokesmen at the hudget hearings in the event Gen. Lord invites the council to express its views. The original estimates of the Com- missioners, prepared after receipt of the council's recommendations, are reported to have totaled slightly more than $40.000,000. The figure recom- mended by the council, however, fail- ed to include certain trust and special funds, for which the city heads must make allowance Gen. Lord a month ago placed a ten- tative limit of $£36,250,000 on the Dis- trict estimates, which made it neces- sary for the city heads to subtract about $3,000,000 worth of proposed work. These stricken items were re- submitted to the Budget Bureau on a e list, labeled supplemental Will Ask More. ears, therefore, that when the start before the Budget Bu- ptember 24, the Commission- | ers and the advisory council will be ad- vocating the addition of three million or more dollars to the tentative limi- tation of $36,250,000. It was not necessary for the council at ryesterday’s conference to take ac- first official report ever made of the disaster, added his praise to that of Col. Iall. e said that all through the period of uncertainty he did not observe a single incldent where any person on the Shenandoah did not per- form his duty fully, efclently and well. “At no time preceding the disaster vhile T was in the control car,” he A, “was there a single word spoken of the ordinary conversational This was particularly true in the case of Capt. Lansdowne.” 21 Others Testify. Besides these two officers, the court heard stories of other survivors of the disaster. Most of the survivors were agreed that the ship broke in two near the bow when she was making a second rapid ascent after having come down suddenly from the high altitude to which she was tossed by the sudden line squall. A number of the sur- vivors were awakened from sleep either by the rapli rolling and toss- Ing of the ship or the rendering noise as the control car and the nose of the craft tore loose from the main section. There was many a thrilling account of how officers and men saved them- selves and each other as the main sec- | tion settled to the earth after strik- ing clumps of trees and of how the nose. then a fr down and fina th shooting up of the helium tanks with pistols and shotguns to release the Just when Col. Army Alr Service and Capt. Anton Helnen, the German dirigible expert, will be called for questioning concern: ing their charges in connection with the disaster remains to be determined. Thus far there has been introduced no testimony bearing on the ability of the crew to valve. Capt. Heinen con- tended that the reduction in the num- ber of the gas valves to save helium was largely responsible for the in- ability of the Shenandoah to outride the storm. Wreckage to Be Studied. Two carloads of the wreckage of the Shenandoah arrived at the air station here today, and will be available for examination by the technical experts who will be called later. The wreck- age includes part of the framing, much of it twisted and broken; large expanses of the covering, gas cells, pipes and guy ropes. This material was that salv after souvenir hunters had away much of the wreckage from where parts of the ship landed near Ava, Ohio. It was assembled at Cald- well, Ohio, and boxed for shipment to the ‘afr station. It is being unloaded in that part of the hangar from which the Shenandoah was taken on Sep- tember 2 for her fatal Western trip. Lieut. Mayer told the court that the ship began to break up afte her terrific descent from high alti- tude had been checked, and her nose suddenly started up a “There w rific vibration of the whole structur plane going into a tail spin, he said. I heard cracking and then there a terrific crash. I saw a large hole in front of me and saw the control car go. I saw a man's hands reaching up into the air and then ha disappeared.” Lieut. Mayer was in the control cabin when the ship first began her wild ascent in the line squall whica tossed her about. When the elevator man reported that he could not check the rise Comdr. Lansdowne ordered the ship held down and the engines speeded up. Mayer then went into the ship and notified men at their cause. Mitchell of the Comdr.

Lang—as a result of watching the | Erowth of the disease in living tissue | through a microscope, have announced | that their experiment has established that tuberculosts nodules have a growth from two sources—the histio- cytes, or cells of the lung tissue, and the white corpuscles of the blood. The discovery, Dr. Maximow point- ed out, does not mean that tubercu- losls is what is called a blood disease. | But he believes the information de- rived through the expériment may help materially In treating the dlsease. The experiment was made on a sec- tlon of & rabbit's Junz Infected with tuboercule bacillf. Day by day the sci- entlsts watched the tuberculous cells Brow on the tissue, which was kept alive on glass slides in molst glass ovens with a constant heat of 36.56 de- grees Centigrade. Nutriment for the tissue was furnished In the form of extracts from the blood known as plasmus and extracts of embryonic tissues. During the observation slides were fixed with stains so that a permanent | record of the course of the disease was maintained. Dr. Lang will work on a continuance of the research at Columbia Univer- | slty, returning here next vear.
