Bulletin
SCIENTISTS AROUSED
Noted Biologist Is Confident
That He Is on the
Right Path
MAKES EXPERIMENTS
Thinks It Possible to Pror
duce Living Matter
From Inanimate
BERKELEY, Sept. 20.— Prof essor
Jacques Loeb, the,- famous biologist
of the university, in a bulletin issued
today from the office of the president
makes the statement that he believes
\u25a0 the germ of life can be ~ discovered,
provided the chemical reactions' sur
rounding the process of fertilization,
are investigated. The announcement
of Professor Loeb has been received
with great interest by the university
men of science as a distinct'; step in
the discovery of the production of
living matter from the inanimate. ;
The tiniversiiy savant takes the
stand that-all Jhat differentiates living
matter from the machines which he
has produced in the laboratories of the
uni\ ?rsity is the 'power' of 'the animate
objects of developing and'reprodbcißir,
themselves .Automatically. < All. that is j
therefore necessary*, Tri, rifOr-'st If-Xer;
tii e scientist to discover .tin: chemical
process which causes- the development
of the egg into the erabryo.
Prof esior. Lo^i makes ., the f. ollowingr
fctat*ment'in Uis bulletin:.. . • -\u25a0
"There may be a difference of.opin
ion as to whether, or not > it will ev.er
fee possible* to produce living: matter
from inanimate, but I think we all
agree that we cannot well hope to suc
«.fed in making living matter artifi
cially unless we have a clear concep
tion of .- what living matter is. Living
organisms have the peculiarity of de-
\u25ba r \ doping and reproducing themselves
automatically,, and it is this automatic
character of reproduction {md.deye.l-.
opment which differentiates them for
the t!»r:e being from machines made of
inanimate matter. Hence the answer to
the Question: of , what- living 'matter, is
will have to.be an aswer'to-th«-ques
tion what determines the phenomena
of automatic development and .repro
duction. Since all life phenomena \ are
ultimately purely chemical, the answer
must consist in pointing out one or
more series of definite chemical reac
tions, for whi%h it can be proved that
they are identical with the phenomena
of development and self-preservation.
It always seemed to me that the nat
ural starting point for a search after
this definite chemloal reaction or series
of reactions was the analysis of that
K process which' causes the resting egg
to develop into an embryo, namely the
process of fertilization." .
The admittance of oxygen .into the
fertilised *gs is declared by Professor
Loeb to be one of the - greatest Im
portance." "Without- oxygen he says the
. rgsr cannot develop. Of this point he
says: "The fertilised egg cannot de
velop or Increase- the number of. Its
nuclei unlos an ample t apply of free
oxygen i» ; present. As soon as oxygen
is admitted to th* egg which has been
deprived of it the synthesis of nuclein
and segmentation begin again."
A-r»p ' s.t the teachers, of physiology
In taken in the bulletin. Professor
Loeb declares that the. «La.t«nient that
the »ole object of oxidation in living
cUs Is the production of heat is in
tiqus-ted. He say*: .
"By way of digression I may mention
that this role of oxidation. In. cell; di
vision ' should \u25a0 ' indue** ; teachers of
physiology •to discontinue .the anti
quated statement that the- sole object
of oxidation In cells; is the production
of heat- Oxidations occur In plants and
animals "which, do not .need -to keep -up
a. constant temperature. . But In all
lh*se animal* •«•• synthesis* of nuclein
nnd cell divisions occur.". ._-;*.. * .
The tumming: : tip of the bulletin
shows that ProfeworJl/oeb" is working
along . the 11 n *>s suggested in his latest
•writing- H*»*says- that he has not i as
y*.t had time;, to 'continue the; experi^
rnents '. to ; discover.-: the germ zof v life",
although; he thinks h© Is in the: right
path. . In, the closing pages of the
pamphlet he- says:
"I have not yet had time to ; apply
these resulta to" the eggs of many,
other forms, but I believe "trom w!i«.t
I have seen that. we are now in'pb*ses>
sion of at * least, some of general,
methods aod principles of artificial
pa rthenogenesis. "•" It seems that in : gen
eral, the treatment of the eggs with
alkalis or, adds or,cert«4n' acids, ,tom«
tinw* with; sometimes without eubse^
quent treatment\.wlth; hypertonlc^seA.
water,' causes the' deveioomejit of un
fertlilKsd eggs." V

•Democratic hostaity to, the
nomination . of Mayor Taylor as
an independent candidate by the
Good Government league may re
sult in the democratic convention
adjourning tonight without nam
ing Ithe head of its ticket.
'. The democratic managers and
the leaders of the Good Govern
ment league are at outs over the
manner 'irr which the name of
Mayor Taylor shall be put upon
the. official _ballot. The demo
crats j.want to be satisfiea
with thY democratic "nomination
ahd^a : place at; .the- head ;of : the
democratic -ticket.- The Good ; Go
vernment r leaguers want -Taylor -at
the head of. the democratic ticket,
and also at the head of their own
ticket, which will include only the
names of Taylor and District At
torney Xangdon. . .
It was given . out yesterday from
close to the democratic throneroom
that owing to the inability of the
platform committee to complete its
arduous labors no nominations would
be made when tke convention was' re
assembled tonight. The democratic
committee on platform might make an
excellent scapegoat, but the real rea

inate, tonight, if they'; do fait, will noi
be: found- in • the delayed' delivery of «
platform. It will lie in the unwilling
ness oft the Good Government leaguers
to abandon their scheme for the nom
ination 'of Mayor Taylor as an inde

ALLOY IS THEIR ; PATRIOTISM
The democrats sidestepped long an.l
painstakingly before they consented to
the nomination of.; Taylor. When they
did decide to put his .name on- th«
ticket their patriotism, contained an
alioy. The democrats want the repuS
lican votes they expect .Tsylor to re
ceive more than they want Taylor.
T^iey object strenuously" to Kivln? Tay
lor the benefit 'of their nomination 'un
less they, are sriven the .or
having his name on their ticket only.
That is tha practical politics from ths
democratic^ side of the question.
The Good Government leaguers want
the democratic nomination for Taylor
and .the > votes which '-they
think that nomination will brins *to
the mayor. But* they. also want,to-b<»
