The Reverend Father Vaughan. who has
been travelling in South American coun-
tries to raise funds for the Spanish-Amer-
ican chapel of the Metropolitan Cathedral
in Westminster. London, which his brother.
the late Cardinal Vaughan. founded. is the
guest of Father Sullivan of st. Louis Uni
versity.
After a short stay he will go to New
York City. and from there he will go to
Mexico and the Central American Repub-
lies to raise the s17,OcO balance of the
$4,000 which the chapel will cost.
Besides being bound by the common
bonds of the church. Father Vaughan says
that he is especially interested in the
Spanish-American countries because his
great-grandmother was a Spanish woman
of Catalonia and his grandfather was a
General in the Spanish Army.
The latter went from Cadiz to Buenos
Ayres, the capital of the Argentine Re
public, about 1G0 years ago. and success
fully resisted an invasion of the Portu-
gusse and retained that country for
Spain.
The chapel for which Father Vaughan
is working will be known as the Chapel
of the Blessed Sacrament, and the money
for it will be contributed by the Spanish
American people. The chapel is one of
twelve of the cathedral proper, SYMBOLIC
ing the Savior and the twelve apostles. ;,
Byzantine architecture is the style. and
the cathedral is modelled after the Santa
Sophia at Constantinople. st. Marcos at
Venice and the Cathedral of Rayenna, In
Italy.
Father Vaughan says it has the largest
archway and nave of any cathedral in
the world. The central tower is dedi-
Gated to St coward the Confessor.
PEOPLE RESPOND LITERALLY.
Father Vaughan has Travelled in every
part of South America and found the peo-
pie very responsive to his mission.

New York. Sept. ao.-working IN expert
ments together. Doctor George F. Kunz.
honorary curator of the American Mu-
scum OF Natural History. and Doctor
Charles Baskerville Of the University of
North Carolina believe they have made
valuable discovery in connection with
the mysterious substance known rs "a
dunn.
This discovery is that by mixing rddium
with natural willemite. pulverized TO 2
powder. the activity or power of the for
mer substance is multiplied hundred
fold. and prObatly-as no instrument has
been devised fer measuring the increased
activity-a tnoJsand-fcld
That, at least. is the temporary effect
of the mixing Of the TWO substances
Time must tell whether one will nullify
the other. WillsTnite IS a comparatively
cheap silicate OF zinc.
II is possible. also. that thsre is in
willemite a substance which is as yet
unrecognized as distinct element but
which produces the radio-activity that has
awakened the enthusiasm of the two ex-
perimenters. But thus Ear II is taken for
granted that the one substance merely
stimulates the activity OF the other.
1t is the assertion CO Doctor kuaz that

is much more highly active. He further
asserts that certain rays of radium-prac-
tically equivalent to an ultra violent light
ray-do not penetrate and are retained in
the glass.
During to-days experiments Doctor
Kunz displayed a quantity of radium so
weak that only the faintest glow from it
was perceptible. Doctor Kunz announced
that he held in a paper in his right hand
a quantity of pulverized willemite.
It was announced that the two powders
would be mixed 1t was done, and imme-

WILLIS CASE GOES TO TRIAL.
Slayer oil Shaw Boys ArraiSned
In District Court.

The case of Henry Willis, the
slayer of Jim and Claude Shaw, was
called for trial again this morning
in the district court. Tuesday was
the day originally set for the trial
of the case but because of some IT,
regularities in getting service on
several of the special venire-men
the case was passed over until to-
day. Soon after court convened
this morning the attorneys for VIII
lis again began sparring for time.
Another motion was filed to quash
the special venire, but it was over
ruled by the court. A few minutes
after II O'Clock the case was called
for trial, and the work of securing
jury was commenced.
This trial is for the killing oil
Claude Shaw and as there are about
seventy-five witnesses in the case
several days will doubtless be con
sumed in it's trial.
