The Radium Trust. A radium trust, so-called, is in process of organization in London. The promoters of the organization are Prof. Alexander Koch and Prof. Som mers, of Berlin, and Sir "William Ram say, of -England.

Prof. Koch has been spending a month in the United States, having attended the recent International Refrigeration Congress in Chicago as the official delegate from Austria. In an interview published in the New York Times, just prior to departing for his home. Prof. Koch said: "At the present time the principal supply of radium at Joachims tab near Carlsbad.

From tons of pitchblende, the tra'cle name of the heavy ore, only one gram of radium is obtained. The difficulty has been to divide radium from barium, which requires more than 1,000 crystallizations by distillation. It therefore requires more than a year to manufacture a single grain of radium, which has a market value of to Prof. Som mers has patented a new me-chanico-ciiemical process for obtaining radium which will shorten this tedious distillation -method considerably. "There is a tremendous demand for radium by hospitals, laboratories and universities, but only institutions of Immense wealth have been' able to get the pure element.

Radium constantly throws off rays without losing any of its energy. The energy of radium will remain unimpaired for 2,500 years. I believe it to be the original substance from which life was derived, and I feel confident that it will conserve life and Insure to humanity a cure for many illi. Radium throws off three rays known as the alpha, beta and gamma. The gamma rays will pass through iron.

and(are In the nature of the Roentgen or X-rays. So scarce and so valuable is radium that most of the hospitals, laboratories and universities are supplied only with the emanations of radium in water. Radium is constantly throwing oft minute particles without any appreciable diminution in weight. In the mines at Joachimstahl streams of water are flowing, and if one takes a bottle of that water and places it upon a coin laid upon a photographic film in a dark room the coin will be photographed. To bring a particle of radium into a photographic dark room would immediately ruin ever; plate in the place.

The gamma ray is a certain cure for cancer, and water which has been charged with the emanations from radium is a cure for diseases and sores. "What Prof. Sommers and his associates in the new company are especially anxious to ascertain is the possible value of the ore in the United States. We would like to obtain samples of pitchblende ore here with a view to establishing a factory for the manufacture of radium by Prof. Sommers' process in this country if the supply here justified such an investment." Prof.

Koch insists that it is not the Intention of the so-called radium trust to corner the supply of radium-producing ore, but by keeping secret, mineralogists should require littl persuasion to participate in the quest. Cheap American Labor. Despite the fact that a man in the United States is, as a rule, paid mor. for a day's work than a man similarly employed in England or in Continental Europe. American labor is cheap as commodity because of Us high effl- ciency.

This is well illustrated in the notable invasion of the automobile markets of the wide world by Ameri can manufacturers. Even the American toady to whom "Imported" meant, under r.he Repub Mean tariff, "exclusive" and therefore desirable, has largely ceased to bu European automobiles. But that is no half of the sti'ry. The superiority American cars i the various classes a the prices asked has beer, so clearly demonstrated that the American pur- veyor has literally girdled the globe with a finished product from the wage earner's paradise and is harvesting millions of dollars of profits which En ropeans expected to win. Scientific methods of manufacture and large scale production, it Is explained, give the American producer his inalienable advantage.

The needv Spaniard, the thrifty Frenchman, the thorough Ger man, the economical Englishman and others too numerous to mention are finding that the American makers have, in all classes of cars from the J5.000 type to the $500 kind, the best values the market affords. Seven years ago America imported $5,000,000 worth of automobiles and exported practically none. Now we im port only $2,000,000 (figures for 1912) and export to Europe nearly $30,000,000 worth. But not only Europeans are our customers. Indian rajahs, Malay Sul tans, Siamese princes.

Congo chief tains. Mangolian. Lamas, Australian ranchmen, Latin-American potentates. Chinese merchants, Japanese noble men and a few Moro datus are riding In American cars. The turning of tables upon the En ropeans was accomplished by the Amer ican manufacturers, while a few sur- Ivors of the old regime in the Con gress of the united States were still shouting that if we should break down the tariff wall American manufacturers would become bankrupt and American workingmen would go without bread.

What is being done by the automobile manufacturers in America shows what can be done by, and has been done by a few, manufacturers of other prod ucts without cutting the. wages of the efficient American laborer. The wage- earner has. by the way, been paid a poor compliment by protectionists who have argued that his labor is a com modity so high-priced that no manufacturer could live upon the profits derived from it unless protected from for eign competition and allowed to dictate prices to the American consumer. Concrete Bond Maintenance.

Promoters of the transcontinental Lincoln Highway are talking of a concrete road which, exclusive of the preparation of the sub-grade, will cost $5,000 a mile and, it is believed, not more than $4 a mile for annual maintenance. If concrete roads can be made for that price and maintained at that trifling expense theyare a great deal cheaper than any' form of improved road that has been tried. Under the contracts let last spring by the Jefferson County Fiscal Court this county was obligated to pay as high as S840 a mile for road maintenance. Recently there was built from one of the entrances of Cherokee Park to a point a half mile from that entrance an abortive macadam road, intended as a boulevard, which cost far more than a concrete road and has not been fit to drive over since it was thrown open to the public. If concrete roads are as practical and as inexpensively kept up as their advocator say they are the roads in Jefferson county, the present mileage, could be made of concrete in two years with the money that is now being spent upon the macadam roads and maintained thereafter at a cost of about 53,000 a year.

The least important roads in the county could be made boulevards and every farm gate connected with Louisville by a smooth and mudless highway. The road tax could then be reduced to about one-fourth of Its present dimensions and yet provide sufficiently for maintaining the roads. That sounds too good to be true. But If it is half way true if concrete roads can be made for $10,000 a mile and maintained for a mie the alluring possibilities of that form of road contrasts pleasantly the manifest deficiencies of mac adam. It would be necessary, of course, to have such roads honestly built and planned by a capable engineer.

Politics and the Schools. The action of the Board of Educa tion In requiring principals, teachers and other employes to refrain from po litical activity is altogether proper and commendable. The people of Louisville have declared themselves In favor of taking the schools out of politics. The present Board of Education is a nonpartisan body, elected with that especial purpose in view. The board states the case very plainly and clearly when it says that if employes are permitted to engage in active partisanship the board itself "is liable to the implication of sanctioning such activities" and "would lose the confidence of the public in its claims of nonpartisanship if ft permitted this to continue." The State Commissioner of Agriculture set a wholesome example the other day by summarily dismissing an em Sunday-School Delegates Told of World Association.

SECRETARY MARION LAWRANCE ADDRESSES STATE MEETING. SA'XS LAW OF CO-OPERATION HAS REPLACED COMPETITION. FIGHT MADE ON ALCOHOL That the World's Sunday-school As sociatlon is growing- at the rate of 200 Sunday-schools a week and 1,000 conversions a day was the declaration of Marion Lawrance. of Chicago, secre tary, at the Kentucky Sunday-school convention at the First Christian Church last night. The church auditorium was filled and about 200 persons occupied the balconies.

J. B. "Weaver, of this city, presided. Mr. Lawrance's subject was "Five Essentials of Sue cess." These, ho said, were concep tion, co-operation, conquest, constancy and consecration.

'You need a vision or conception of the -magnitude of the work," he said "A man told me the other day that little could be done in a Sunday-school convention, as it was made up of women and children. The fact is there are more men than women, and no children at all. One hundred thousand men are added to the Sunday-schools in North America each year. It is the greatest men's organization In the world. I do not mean that the men are any better than the women, but they are there.

We hold 17,000 conventions like this each year. Co-operation Law of "World. He said the law of the world used to be competition, but now it was co-opera tion. Two people pulling together can do as much as live pulling separately, he declared. "The Sunday-school organization Is pull ing a big wagon full of good things.

When It reaches its destination it shovels nto the Bantlst bin. the Methodist bin and the Presbyterian bin until nothing is left for itself. The churches live by conquest. When conquest ends mutiny begins. I never saw a horse that could kick and pull at the same time.

Child welfare and temperance also were discussed. Alter devotional exercises Mrs. Ag nes L. Elfort spoke on the "Temper ance Pledge." She proposed that al cohol be sold on the same basis as arsenic and morphine.

Dominican Republic. Oct. 8. The American Minister to the Dominican republic, James M. Sullivan, has Induced the warring factions in this country to sign a peace pact, and the revolution headed by Gen.

Horatio Vasquez against the Government of Provisional President Jose Bordas Vai-dez is at an end. The American Minister's action is the first successful application of the United States Government's new policy with regard to the Dominican republic, which is to the effect that the force of arms can never again settle any question in this country. Mr. Sullivan has made it known that the lost civil war in this republic has been fought. In the future, any uprisings he says, will be stamped out as criminal without conference being held between the opposing factions, the United States Government support, ing the constitutional authority against force, regardless of the merits, of the issue The people of Santo Domingo are being instructed that 'the remedy for future grievances lies in the free ballot at a future election.

The American policy, as announced bv Mr. Sullivan, has been accepted joyously by all parties, regardless of political affiliations. The American Minister arrived at Santo Domingo City from the Lnlted States September 17. and Immediately brought about an armistice between the rebels and the Government troops fighting in the northern department. since then negotiations had been in progress continuously with the result that what promised to be the most sanguinary revolution in the history of the Dominican republic has been aVTheediast battle was fought on October 2.

oi TRANSPORTATION TO "DRY" SECTIONS DECLARED ILLEGAL. ARGUMENTS MONDAY ON MOTION FOR NEW TRIAL. AN APPEAL PROBABLE Georgetown. Oct. S.

The Webb-Kenyon Jaw and the Hazel law of Dele-ware, prohibiting intrastate shipments of liquor into local option territory, were de clared to be constitutional in two decisions rendered here this afternoon in the Sustex County Court of General Sessions. The decisions were in the case of Wil liam Drier, indicted for violating the Hazel law by bringing liquor bought in Philadelphia to Harley J. Conaway, of this place. It was a test case. Drier was adjudged guilty.

Sentence was deferred pending arguments next Monday on motion for a new trial. The Chief Justice ai.o read a supple mental decision upholding tlie Webb-Ken-yon act of Congress. Repeated reference was made to the Wilson act approved Au gust S. ISl'O. 'The Webb-Kenyan act," the decision says, "was passed to supply the deficiency In Hie Wilson law and make the transac tion as well as the sale of interstate in- liquors subject to law." Guilty.

Stales of America, a crime punishable under tne lavs of the State of Delaware Is shown to have been cdrnmlltM h- tha defendant." Tiie opinion covers sixty tvoewritten pages. The latter portion Is rmiiiricl tn an analysis of the Kentucky decision on the Webb-Kenvon law.

Tin. kVuMifW. Court of Appeals having ruLi timt "saiii liquors were Intended by said conimices. respectively, for thuir personal use, and were not intended hv them r-t he contrary to law, and were not so sold by them." causes the Delaware court to ay: It WI 1 be noted fti.it Cnnert. nnr employ the word 'consignee' or even 'consignor and but very much broader ones, 'any person interested, and It is difflcult to conceive of words more comprehensive than these, or hose other connecting words "received, possessed, sold or in any manner used." "We believe that a construction which narrows such language to consignees, not only defeats the plain object of the act.

but is unwarranted in law under any rules of statutory construction. In our opinion no violence Is done ly the language of tlie act when we hold that such words are broad enough to embrace not only consignees, but also consignors, common carriers and any other transportation agencies." The decision will doubtless be appealed to the Delaware Supreme Court. In this State the Supreme bench is composed of Judges who do not sit In the case below. As there are six members of the Delaware judiciary the case will be heard on appeal. If this course is takon hv cellor Curtis and Associate Justices Rice and Wooliey.

Grounds of Attack. Grier attacked tlie Indictment nf.nln.t- him on six grounds, all declaring tho Hazel law to be unconstitutional. Th reasons were that tlie subject of the bill was not expressed In Its title: that It violates the Fourteenth amendment of tho Federal Constitution bv denvlmr iprotection of the laws; tiiat it abridges the privileges of citizens guaranteed by the same amendment: that the Webb-Kenyon act does not roll thp uhlnnmni In question from the protection of the in- lersiuie commerce law because it was intended by the consignee to be used for lawful purpose;" If the Webb-Kenvon act is applicable to tlie case the State cannot succeed, and thnt article of commerce and in this case is Interstate commerce it cannot be subject to oiate law. The court decides against ail of theso contentions and does so in plain terms Arter declaring that "the Webb-Kcnyon law does apply to the present case and that the defendnnt's nrt wne i fore protected by tlie commerce clause the 1' ederal Constitution" for thi rfn- son that 'lie was a nartv intnr, in the liquor which hr. vpotvpfi sessed for the purpose and with the Intention of being used, carried and delivered for the purpose of being sold in violation of the law nf thl court rules that "said act was r.iVi?n anu was also a violation of tlie Hazel law." ant.

the ruling says, must guilty. Extracts Erom Opinion. The opinion continues: "We think thfl nernnn fn ...1. liquor Is given for triuufifirtni.l delivery In Interested therein within the meaning of the Federal law, and that he intends when lie receives, or has his possession, the liquor, to carrv It from a point in one State to local option territory in another State into which the carrying is unlawful, the transaction in not protected by the commerce elausn the Federal Constitution, and is prohibited by the Webb-Kenyon law it ht ing a violation of the law of the State nto which the liquor is carried And may also be said that if such person carries or delivers limm. option territory where such carrying or delivery Is unlawful-, it is used bv- him violation of the law of the State within If this conclusion is nfft 1.

In such case the Webb-Kenvon law is entirely immaterial. It does not matter whether the statute applies or not. because the conviction is secured without regard to the act. secures "We appreciate the fact that the Intent of an act must be gathered from language, but nevertheless, its manifest purpose and the evils it wan designed to suppress may be considered in determining Its meaninir and intent.

Original Fresh Air Capt. James Leslie, of the British steamer Earl of Elgin, who is doubt less as honest a skinner as ever walked the bridge, says that clothing is a necessity, and proves his assertion by reference to the Yahgans who live at the Straits of Magellan. Capt. Leslie's story, shorn of its ap propriate embellishment of the Jan guage of "the wine-dark deep," is as follows: "The ship was In the midst of icebergs when two natives, father and son, pad dled out in a canoe.

The father wore a. simple belt and the son was attired in the remains of a coat. Feeling certain the lad was free.in; the captain had him wrapped In a blanket and sent to tho galley to get warm. The boy speedily became weak and fainted. Tli- father, seeing his son's plight, rushed forward, seized him and threw him over-Loard into ihe icy waters.

The boy immediately revived and climbed into the canoe, where he laughed merrily as he caught ship's biscuits tossed by members of the crew." The brief plunge of the all-the-year bathers into the surf at Atlantic City in January is followed by a warming up run for the bathhouse, a rub-down and warm, dry clothes. The Yahgans seem to require none of the typical fresh air and cold water fiend's precautions, but can ride out a gale in an open canoe after a plunge into an antarctic sea. But as the skipper of the Earl of Elgin adds that the Yahgans are a fast diminishing race, and only 200 survive there will be those who will be of the opinion that if they had -worn over coats and rubber shoes and tubbed in warm water perhaps they would have been a conquering race Instead of a vanishing one. Four-Mile of thoroughbreds in Kentucky have witnessed the running of three endurance races at four miles at Churchill Downs in the past two years, and It was proved conclusively yester day that horses of this country have not yet been bred to the standard nec essary to carry them over such a long and cruelling route. The race at Churchill Downs yesterday was wit nessed bv thousands of lovers of the racehorse for what he is.

While realizing that Pandorina, the winner, had been bred atfd trained to go over such a route and deserved to win, the vast audience was shocked when one of the entrants fell exhausted a short distance from the" wire after running second in the race. To win this rich stake many horse men have tried in vain to get tneir choice thoroughbreds ready. Horses of class which were trained for the Ken tucky Endurance Stakes failed because they had not been bred to race four miles. It will take years for turfmen to reach the standard sought' by the late Maj. F.

A. Daingerfield, who first brought about the race which has been featured each fall in Kentucky. The triumphs of this race since its Inauguration have been marred by the break- ng down of thoroughbreds which failed in preparation for the race. It would seem advisable to shorten the distance of the event to two- and one-half miles for the next few years, at least until turfmen have had time to breed and train future generations of thoroughbreds so that they can go four miles without suffering such se- vere punishment. i The Philadelphia Press lias the mon umental nerve to publish a new tariff cartoon depicting cheap foreign labor competing with the American working- man.
