Draper, of Splceland. The case has been In court several weeks. Following the appointment of Claud Stanley as receiver of the defunct Splceland bank, Mr.

Stanley petitioned the court to decide the ownership of securities left in the bank. Haskett, before his death, had written a note, declaring that the certificates were the property of Draper and should not be included in the bank's assets. In his decision today Judge Morris pointed out that the certificates and securities had been kept In a special fund and had never been listed as the bank's assets.

Washington, July 15 (JP) A scientific question that goes back 200 years is again brought to the fore by a scientist's discovery that apparently the sun and its planets are rushing 130 miles a second in the direction of the southern constellation of Dorado, the Dragon. The question is whether space out among the stars is empty save for a few meteors and dust clouds, or filled with an all-pervading and intangible "ether." Dr. Dayton C. Miller of Case School of Applied Science, Cleveland, now has reported to the American Physical Societywhat he considers as evidence that the "ether" exists. Of late years many scientists have discarded the Idea of "ether" because Prof.

Albert Einstein's theories of relativity seemed able to explain the universe's operation without assuming existence of ether. Studies Light-Ray Speeds. Dr. Miller's evidence is based on experiments with light. Two light rays from a common source are sent out, one straight ahead in the direction the earth is moving, the other at right angles.

Both travel over the same distance and are reflected back. If the ray sent straight ahead returns slightly behind the other, there must be some reason for the delay. After thirty two years of experiments Dr. Miller believes he has found, such a difference and that it is due to the existence of ether. The difference in time taken by the two light rays to travel an equal distance would show the earth's speed through the ether.

Dr. Miller reasons. From it he has calculated the speed at which the solar system is apparently rushing in the direction of the dragon. The Only Stationary Thing. This speed shows that ether exists, he holds, because if there were no ether, the speed could not be measured.

That is because the speed is an absolute" speed, as distinguished from th? "relative" motions of different heavenly bodies in relation to each other. Proving Ether Exists MM Alexandria, July 15.
