ApNNC ATT,S

Des MOres. Iowa. Feb "A meeting OF the Pro-
hibit!on Amendment League OF Iowa held last
evening at the STATE House. There present a
large number OF the leading Prohibition lights Of
the state and about dozen members OF the Legis
lature who leaders in the cause In that body
The meeting made up Of abou: an equal number
OF men and women. and In a short time IT developed
into fight. The women In bitter terms denounced
the men because some Of them In the Legislature
two years ago had voted for the Muct Jaw. ana
Were declaring their fea that II prohibition
were resubmtted II would be defeated. They
declared 20 be traitors to the cause and denounced
In most earnest terms. The upshot that the
meeting broke up in commotion. with the women
crying and the men white with rage.
Representative Funk made speech IN which he
resented the imputations that had been made
Legislature. and left the meeting women trying
vainly apologize. The other members OF the
Legislature were almost as much offended. After
the meeting Mr.. Funk declared that the language
used by the women had been the deathblow all
hopes OF resubmssiOn. He would give up the tight
and he believed others would do the same. Mr..
Funk's detection from the Prohibition ranks Is a
great blow. Two years ago he the Prohibition
take the lead In the fight for resubmsson this year
The result means that there Is further hope OF
a organized fight by the temperance forces of the
State against the manufacture OF liquors In tho
State or In favor OF resubm.sson. II Is the most
notable victory in years for antiProhibton people.

HIS VACUUM TUBE HAS NO ELECTRODES
Professor NJ. l. Pup.n OF Columbia College. who is
well known in this country for his electrical re-
searches and who has also a high reputation a
lecturer upon scientific subjects succeeded last
evening in obtaining a picture similar those OBJ
taned by Professor Rontgen, but by slightly different
methods. Since the announcement Of Professor
R0ntgen's discovery experiments in a similar d.
rection have been undertaken by several other ex-
perts in electricity and optics IN this country and
Europe and to DR.. Pupin Is due the credit OF con-
ducting Of the first successful experiments In
the United States
Professors Trowbridge, OF Harvard. and Wright,
Of Yale have also obtained pictures, but had DIR.
Pupn been able to obtain properly exhausted

an X-ray photograph three weeks ago Unable 10
obtain the necessary vacuum tubes which are an
imported article. DR.. Pupin decided 10 make. or at
least 10 exhaust them himself.
TUBE WITHOUT ELECTRODES.
The form OF ribe which he employed IN his expert
ment last evening was entirely without electrodes
or metall, terminals inside the tube whereas tho
types employed By Professor R0ntgen AMI other
expcrimenters have thus far been OF the kind known

in much the same manner as in the previous in

fessor Pupin connected with brass tubes IN

The tube was less than fifteen inches long and not
more than two three inches IN diameter, and was
