THINKS MATTER MAY BE
REDUCED TO ONE FORM

BERLIN. June 6.-Prof Sir William
Cfookes, before the International Chem
ical Congress yesterday. dealt with the
possibility of reducing all the elements
of matter to one and ultimately finding
this receivable into a single form of
energy. Sir William sketched the sig
nificance of the Roentgen rays and Be
querel rays and the experiments of Curie
and others. and said: "All these obser-
yations find internal connection in the
discovery of radium, which is probably
the basis of the coarser chemical ele-
ments here. We stand on the border
line where matter and force pass into
each other. In this borderland lie the
greatest scientific problems of the fu-
ture. Here lie the final realities. vide

STEAMSHIP AND WHALE COLLIDE

The crew of the German steamship
Helios were thrown into state of panic
suddenly by the ship coming in contact
with an obstruction which shook her
from stem to stern.
Examination had revealed that the
ship had collided with a huge whale,
which was flashing the waters with ter
rife force and writhing In agony from
pain due to a huge cash made by the
ship in the monsters side, from which
blood was flowing so freely that the
water was discolored. The whale soon
disappeared.
Captain Jensen, commanding the He
lios, says it was the largest whale he
ever saw, and he believes it was asleep
when his ship struck 1t. The ship sus
tanned no damage, but had the substance
which she struck been harder she would
in all probability have foundered.-Phil-

Judge william =. richardson was
on the witness stand this morning IN
the trial Of william n. Byers, chArg-
ed with embexxling funds Of the
Standard Group Mining company. The
question at issue seems to be the
Evefacity of Mr.. Byers IN stating. thdt
he did not himself receive money In
return for the issue OF some $500
worth Of stock. Judge Richardson
said that ne believed Mr.. Byers 70 b
. man of honesty and integrity 10
far as his business relations. with him
are concerned. Mr.. Byers in the days
when Judge Richardson was practice
ing law was his client.
J. NJ. Corbstt, called by the prose-
cution. held Just the opposite view.
and said that Mr. Byers' reputation
in the community for honesty and in
tegrity was bad. Attorney Graves
asked Mr.. Corbett whether he had
not left his position with the Yer
mont Loan & Trust company because
he was charged with dishonesty. The
witness said that ne left because OF
a difference Of opinion regarding
salary.
The case was summed up and given
to the jury late this afternoon.
