X.RAYS CHANGE
NECRO'S COLOR
Philadelphia Scientist Says
He Can Alter the Human
Skin From Black to White
Special Dispatch to The Call.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. PHI. K.
Pancoast, skiograp pher Of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania, has discovered
that it is possible by means Of the
X-ray 10 so bleach the skin OF q negro
that, to all intents and purposes, the
subject becomes a white person. The
condition of a person so treated is ap-
parently permanent.
This discovery was made incidentally
while negroes were being treated in
the university for cancer and lupus,
ard while no attempt has been made
so far to experiment with the skin Of
a healthy negro, DR.. Paacoast says 1t
is possible to change the color.
The skin OF negro who has been
under the x-ray is quite like that of
the ordinary white man and presents
a perfectly healthy appearance. The
skin is natural, despite the fact that
the rays have destroyed the pigment
which caused the coloring.

WRECKED
BY ICE GORCES
Packet Steamboat Sunk in the
Ohio River and Many Other
Steamers Are in Danger

CINCINNATI, Dec. 27.-The packet
steamboat w. H. Graham was sunk at
the public landing here to-day by an
ice gorge, being the second boat sunk
here by ice within a week. With NOV
ing ice ten feet thick. other craft and
wharf boats are in danger. The loss
of the Graham, including cargo, Is
about 10000
The rise in the river in connection
with heavy ice from the gorges caused
more than 100000 Of other damage in
this harbor to-day. The largest loser
was the Cincinnati Gas Company.
Twenty-Five of it's barges loaded with
coal we're broken from moorings, eight
of which were caught and seventeen
lost. Seven barges at the new city
water works were also carried away,
but afterward caught.
The Idler, pleasure excursion
steamer owned by a club, was ground
to pieces by the ice here tonight, after
having broken from her moorings. Loss
$4,000.
AS the ice is passing out nearly all
the coal fleets have lost barges. Stin
greater damages are expected in the
lower Ohio. The greatest gorge in the
Ohio is at North Bend. 1t Is many
miles long and when it breaks the
craft in the lower Ohio will be in dan
ger.
PITTSBURG, Dec. 27-The recent
cold snap has made dangerous the ice
in the Allegheny River. At RosstOn
the gorge is an immense affair, being
packed 20 the bottom and extending
fifteen miles up stream. 1t was formed
during a thaw and the ice breaking
into small pieces has packed all the
way to the bottom, Offering resistance
that can scarcely be overcome. The
water is now backing up and spread
ing over the lowlands.
The gorge at SDringdale still holds
and but little ice is floating in either
the Allegheny or MOnOngahela rivers.

CHAMPION AND CHALLEN-
GER FOR THE TITLE AS
THEY APPEAR NOW.

Champion Corbett and Eddie Hanlon,
the center of admiring throngs yes
terday at their respective training
quarters. Hanlon, with his spacious
gymnasium, was able to give his
friends a view of him in action. Cor
bett was unable to do this, as he was
afraid his visitors might wreck his
quarters.
He went on the road in the morning
and lounged about during the after
noon. keeping as much as possible out
of the public eye. He gave out his
weight as 1907 pounds. He expects to
retire tonight at weight and counts
on being a pound lighter on Tuesday
morning. This is all the leeway he
wants in order to make the required
weight at o'clock Tuesday evening.
Corbett has changed his point Of view
Of life noticeably since his last visit
here. Cupid, the god of love, is said
to have taken a hand in shaping his
future career. He has set his heart
on winning this fight and, possibly, one
other on this coast. He expects New
York to be open to the boxers next
winter and sees golden harvest to be
garnered there if he can retain his
premier position among the little men.
Five miles on the road in the morn
ing and two hours of light work in his
gymnasium in the afternoon was the
extent of Eddie Hanlons training at
his camp in Alameda. He took his
early spin in company with Harry
41l,
lows training with an eagle eye for
the last five weeks. In the afternoon
Eddie was visited by 500 persons from
this side OF the bay. He punched the
bag, skipped the rope and knocked cut
imaginary Young Corbetts for their
entertainment, and was then given his
usual rundown. Hanlon will do moth
ing in the training line to-day outside
Of light roadwork. Tomorrow he will
again take to the highways for
breathing spin, and after returning will
rest up until it is time to start for this
city.
The opinion of betting men is that
Corbett will be a six to ten choice to-
night when wagering ceases. They base
this opinion on the ease with which he
has made the stipulated weight, thus
guaranteeing that he is in condition for
a hard fight. Then there is the con-
stantlys recurring question of class
This is defined as quality which gives
to the man, horse or dog possessing it
the ability to do a little better than
an opponent at critical stage of any
contest. Since he won the champion
ship Corbett has shown this class" in
a marked degree. 1t mattered not how
The San Francisco call., 1903-12-28

poor his condition nor how good was
his opponent he has always held his
own.
1t seems almost assured that Han
lon will carry the fight to Corbett. He
felt the force of the champions blows
once and while there will be immeas-
urably more driving power behind
them on this occasion it will hardly
cost him a thought. He has supreme
confidence in his strength and in his
ability to assimilate punishment
Harry Pollock, the clever sporting
editor of the New York Evening World
and manager of Young Corbett, arrived
here last night to look after the cham
pion's interests. He brings word that
Jack Munroe, the Butte boxer. will be
here tonight, coming from Montana to
see the fight
