1. 5. AGENT TELLS WAR BLAST SECRET Disastrous Munitions Ex- plosion Began at Bench of Man Who Disappeared. By the Associnted Press. THE HAGUE, Netherlands, September 20.— The American - German Mixed Claims Commission was told today by Robert W. Bonynge, American agent, how the disastrous explosion occurred in the munitions factory at Kingsland, N. J, on January 11, 1917 Bonynge sald that the fire started from a shell in the process of fabrica- tion, and at the bench containing this missile stood a workman who was new ' to the Kingsland plant—a Ruthene, Theodore Woznlak, who disappeated after the disaster. ‘The American agent said that detec- tives have proof Woaniak fled to Mexico, where he acted as German agent during the Summer of 1917. Wozniak later stated that he worked at that time in & lumber camp, Bonynge continued, but the alibi has not been established to satisfaction. In August of 1929, the American con- tinued, German representatives produc- ed an afMdavit purporting to be that of Wozniak, who admitted that the Kings- land fire started at his work bench, but denied that he was in the service of Germany. Since then the United States repre- sentatives have made repeated attempts to obtain the address of Woznlak and g'mman him, but have been unable to 0. ‘The commission will meet again Mon- day morning. ‘Who Wants to Buy a Tunnel ¢ A couple of second-hand tunnels are for sale in London and if you happen to know any one in need of a tunnel let them know about it. Forty years ago the original Oity & South London Rail- way was opened. Its under the city for about three-quarters of a mile and then dived below the river. The other tunne] is not 5o ex- tensive. These tunnels have not been used since 1900, though underground rallway engineers have kept them in repair. ‘The rallways are now looking for a purchaser. It was thought that the municipality might make some use of these d but at one point they are about 60 feet below the surface— too deep to be availed of by the au- thorities.

TORONTO OPENS INSTITUTE HONORING INSULIN FINDING first tunnel ran | gossed teadily. i His discovery made little difference in Decade of Discovery Is Cele- brated by Starting of *School. Place of Learning Bears Name of Dr. Banting, Who Found Cure. Special Dispaich to The Star. TORONTO, September 20.—Toronto is celebrating a decade of insulin by | opening the Banting Medical Institute. For the first time in the history of | medicine the decade of a discovery is | universally recognized. All continents| | are represented at the celebration. | The period emphasizes the romance surrounding the discovery of insulin.| Ten years ago Dr. Frederick Grant | | Banting was known only to his class- | | mates.” Even to them he was not re- | garded as a remarkable student or as a | | keen scientist. His natural preference was toward surgery. The war had caused him to miss the post-graduate work considered essential to the scien- tific side of medicine. Ten years ago this Fall he conceived the idea that has already saved thou- sands of lives. He had no money. He had just come back from overseas and had not started practice. He did the only thing possible—exchanged his idea for a fellowship at the University of Toronto, which brought him laboratory space, an assistant and $1,000 a year. Others Had Same ldea. Other men had had the same idea. They had slipped on its development. University circles were not enthusiastic. They expected Dr. Banting to slip, too. Banting had barely enough money to live on. He added to his income by doing an odd tosilectomy for classmate friends practicing near the city. Charles H. Best, American-born stu- dent at Toronto. after this third year asked for a post in the department of fil . He was refused the job, it was told that Dr. Banting needed an assistant. There was another opening, but a friend of Best's inted it. The; & coin. Best lost the toss, so he went ::‘wkn:g g;fmmm:‘. He is now you fessor - ology in the world. o and Best plodded on together. In a few months other scientists became interested. In a year their product was being tested clinically. What became known as the Toronto WAS formed, and in rapid and .S.‘:fi’u co- operative research insulin’ was perfected and proved, and the world learned that diabetes had been conquered. Scientists Accept Discovery. Other medical scientists accepted the Toronto discovery and put it into imme- Ppractice roicious anemia, Simultaneously with the definite an- nouncement that insulin provided a real remedy for diabetes the University of ‘Toronto took an unprecedented step and ;-mud the extract in all countries, t placed & moderate royalty on insulin and provided that the revenue would be used for medical research. It definitely EEenarra e all un arranging for its speedy mantfacture. Banting continued to work s his life. He was still the modest youn, doctor and avoided publicity, g of the continent held their convention in Toronto. The centenary anniversary of Pasteur had arrived. A special Pasteur dinner was given. The great hall at Hart House was crowded with doctors. At the back it was di- back and sat down on the stone floor And Dr. Banting, unobserved, con- tinued to sit on the floor while the dinner became a Banting cele- bration and the leading medioal re- search workers of the continent linked the name of the young doctor with the great French sclentist. Banting’s insu- DR FREDERICK GRANT BANTING. medical advance in the century since Pasteur. Receives Many Honors. Within a few months the British Medical Association added its tribute to Dr. Banting. The Parliament of Can- ada, the Legislature of Ontario, ed special legislation honoring the discov- erer. He became the head of a new department of medical research. He became uncomfortable as the publicity raged and magazines and newspapers throughout the world published articles about him. His bent, his friends said, was still toward surgery. He still lacked that Intensive tntnlns considered essential to scientists. And yet he found himself head of a department of medical re- search, with that branch of science looming ahead as his life work. But he stuck to his job. He gradu- ally managed to slip out of the lime- light. Soon he was happy again. The terrific pressure of the insulin hunt was over and he found time to develop outside interests. ‘Though no new discoveries have been added, Dr. Banting has become known as Canada’s leading doctor-painter. He is established as an authority on Cana- dian history. He passes his holidays in the North and has traveled almost to the Magnetie Pole.
