ST. Petersburg. Jan. 2s.-New theo-
ries of raddum and it's possibilities as
set forth by Prince Tarkanor. the we'll
known scientist. have electrified Rus
sian scientific circles. The prince holds
that by use of the rays of the new eie-
ment 1t will be possible to solve the
problem OF determining the sex of
children. which Professor Schenck
failed to solve. and that many human
ills now regarded as almost beyond the
reach of the powers of medicine and
science will be durable by means Of
radiunl.
At recent lecture before the mill
tary association here the prince pre-
sented before his audience two cam
csr patients which he claimed had been
cured of malignant growths ON the
face as result of the radium treat
iment. The prince also said he had
prevented thu DEVELOPMENT OF hydro
phohia in dogs which had been inocu-
lated with virus by using radium.
The system of modern warfare would
be revolutionized. according 10 the
prince, If quantities of radium were
available. as powder and other explo-
s.ves in magazines, forts. or the holds
of vessels conld be exploded at long
distances II brought under the power

London, Jan. 2S.-"Suicide" was
the verdict passed by the coroner's jury
today in the closing chapter OF the
tragedy OF Whitaker Wright. His
death was caused by suffocation In
consequence OF poisoning by cyanide
of potassium. The jury found Wright
perfectly sara and there wss not the
slightest doubt that his death was due
TO most deliberate suicide. From the
evidence a. the Inquest It was shown
Wright had determined to take his own
life in the event of an adverse verdict
and that he went to the court room
with cyanide tabloid in his possession.
while In his pocket was a new mvol-
yer. fully loaded and cooked. After the
sentence Wright went to the lavatory,
while the tipstaff in attendance on him
remained outside. There he swallowed
the tabloid, returned to the consulting
room and washed down the poison with
whisky and water and died. The
small coroner's court at Westminster
was SO crowded that Whitaker Wright.
Jr., son OF the dead man. had to stand
up thruout the proceedings. He and
other witnesses in the main bore out
the facts already cabled. Neither the
son nor the deceased's closest friends.
SO they testified today. ever heard

suicide.

Chancellor e. Benjamin Andrews. of

Tense of the methods OF the Standard
OIL company in crushing weak compeu-
tors. It WIS inspired by discussion
that has ragged thru the state on the ad-
visibility of accepting an offer of aid

[feller. It Is contended by those opposed
to accepting the offer that the lniver-
sity should be supported by taxation.
and not by donations from men who
might in time influence educational
methods.
The chancellor declared that the uni
versities were dependent largely for
support on the rich. He defended Mr..
Rockefeller's business methods. and de-
clared that the Standard OIL company
magnaninously strove to buy In its
competitors rather than crush them.

prophecy that society eventually would

There is no need to get into heat
about who shall be selected as dele

eide who among the many who are
available shall have the privilege of

Their friends will urge them to permit
their names to be presented to the con-
vention. and hope they will not refuse.
