Cleveland Moffett, in November McClures.
Radium has formidable powers of de-
struction, and can by its mere presence an
initiate animal life or plant life. Here is
one instance among many: On May IL,
1903. little chloride of radium Give cent
igrammes) was suspended over the cage of
eight white mice, two parent mice and six
little ones, and was left there for three
days and then removed. The mice con-
tinued to eat and run about usual until
May TO- when the little ones began to lose
the fur on their backs. On the 18th their
backs were quite bare of fur, although
their heads remained covered, which gave
them the appearance of little white lions.
On the 21st the little ones became blind, al
though they continued to eat well. On the
23d one of the little ones died. On the 24th
three died. On the 18th the remaining two
died. On the 5th of June both the parent
mice became blind. On the 18th both the
parent mice died. This was the work of a
few grains of radium in tiny glass tube.
In another case two full grown mice were
exposed continuously to the same quantity
five centigrammes) of radium for ten days
For nine days they remained perfectly WELL
although they showed fear but on the
tenth day they died without losing their fur
This experiment was repeated with another
pair of mice under the same conditions ex-
cept that the radium used was only half as
intense, and in this case the mice died in
twenty-five days and twenty-six DAYS, re-
spectively and on the twentieth day they
began to lose their fur.

Suit-Other Court Cases.

Judge Afford, of the Criminal Court,
yesterday sentenced four colored boys
Wilbur Saines. James Warmack, Glenn
Jones and Orville Ely. to the Indiana Re-
formatory for a term of from one to four
teen years on the charge of committing
petit larceny.
These boys, the oldest one of whom is
but seventeen years of age, had been sys-
tematically operating the North Side
for about year. Patrolman Lee, who ar
rested them, stated at the trial that the
boys robbed houses By day and snatched
pocketbooks by night, their speciality being
to snatch purses from women on street
cars. The method of procedure was SIM
pie. A member of the gang would hang on
the closed side of the car, and inserting
his hand through the screen, would snatch
a woman's purse and drop off the car and
run before the car could be stopped and
the passengers start in pursuit The boys
operated on all the lines in the northern
part of the city, but most of their work
was directed to the North Senate avenue

RECENT LEGAL OPINIONS.
-Enioining Maintenance of CemeterI


In Palmer VS.. Hickory Grove Gene
terry, 81 New York Supplement-. 973, 1t was
held that cemeteries are universally re-
garded as within the proper scope of the
police power of the State, and that anyone
who is especially injured or is threatened
with injury by reason Of the maintenance
of a cemetery has a right to question the
legality of the step taken By the corpora
ton in pursuance of the powers granted,
and to have the aid of the court in pre-
venting any unlawful act by which this
right may be prejudiced; In Braasch VS..
Rep, GAG, it was held that a court of
equity will enjoin the use of
tract of land for cemetery pur-
poses so situated that the burial of the
dead there will injure life or health either
by corrrpting the surrounding atmosphere
or the water of wells or springs. But il
was further held that a burial ground near
dwellings is not necessarily a nuisance
and the court will only interfere and en-
join its use on clear and convincing proof
of probable injury.
Question as to the Proper Conduct of a
Trial

ST, 1t was held that IL was not improper
for the judge. for the purpose of informing
himself as to the probability of the jury

there was any likelihood of agreement.
When the judge is informed by some of the
Jurors that there is no likelihood of an

BRIEF IN CHASE CASE.


The brief of the petitioner in the pro-
ceedings brought in the Supreme Court
against Judge Rabb, In the name of Moses
Fowler Chase has been filed. The brief
insists that young Chase was sane enough
to be competent to transact business when
he abducted" from Paris by his
father. The brief argues that the re-
spondent, sitting as judge Of the Benton
Circuit Court. has committed many errors
in the trial of this case. 1T is almost be-
yond belief the brief says, that a trial
judge would so use his judicial position and
power as to throw serious obstacles in
the way of parties litigant obtaining in
his court a new trial of the cause or an
appeal from the judgment of his court"
In closing, the brief says: I'VE have
endeavored in this brief to so present the
matter as to convince this honorable court
that the ends of justice can be best SUBJ
served by granting the relator his prayer
for a mandate commanding respondent to
do and perform the very things he should
be most willing, with confidence in his
rulings, to have done and performed with
out compulsion."

GOuld's Big Plans.

Within sixty days it is stated by Eastern
papers, new line of steamships will be
in operation between New Orleans and
Philadelphia, backed by the Gould Rail-
road interests, and a similar statement was
positively made by the New Orleans Board
of Trade committee, which has been work.
ing In conjunction with the commercial
bodies of Philadelphia to bring about an
all-water route between Philadelphia and
the Mississippi valley. The real significance
of this is that the Gould interests have de-
termined to enter into direct competition
against the Pacific and the Morgan in
terests with steamship lines for continental
business. George j. Gould has sent let
ter to Chairman Luce, of New Orleans, in
which he stated that his system of roads
has under way improvements which will
call for the expenditure of over $40, 600 coo,
and the bulk of the money will be spent in
the Mississippi valley.

AGNES ST. JOHN SUES.
Peculiar Allegations I'm Claim Against
Railroad Companies.

Agnes ST. John, in a $4,000 damage suit
filed yesterday in the Superior Court
against the Lake Erie G. Western Railroad
Company and the Lake Shore q Michigan
Southern. makes unusual charges against
the defendants.
The complaint recites that Mrs st. John,
with her baby, took passage on one OF the
defendants excursion trains at Chicago en-
route for Indianapolis on Sept. q, 1902. She
placed her baby on one of the seats and
stood near it. Owing to the failure of the
defendants to furnish enough coaches the
coach in which the plaintiff was riding was
crowded. In order to protect her baby
from the fury and recklessness of the
modified passengers" the plaintiff was
bending over the seat when large woman
came up to her and demanded the seat
which was occupied by the child, at the
same time throwing the back OF the seat
down, the defendant companies having neg
ligently failed to lock the back. The back
in falling struck the child on the head rem
dering 1t unconscious. The plaintiff was
struck in the abdomen by the falling of the
back and severely injured internally.
