RADIUM MAY HOLD
" SECRET OF LIFE
Cambridge Scientist Gets Cultures
Which Seem Creation of
Vitality.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
London, June 21.-The Daily Chron-
icle puts forward claim in behalf Of
John Butler Burke, a young Cambridge
scientist, that as result of recent in
vestigations he has almost certainly
demonstrated that spontaneous genera
tien is possible. : ak sga... *.
by. means of 7radium and sterilized
bodtffoh placed together in a test tube,
Burke has succeeded in getting cul-
lures which present many appearances
Of vitality, such as growth and subdi-
vision.
Burke himself declines to make any
definite claim beyond saying that the
cultures possibly are primitive form
of life, adding:
eff my conclusions and those Of the
scientists who have examined them are
correct, they fit in exactly with Her
bert Spencer $ definition Of life.'
Great Scientific Truth7 g.
It is a question whether Professor
Burke has unveiled great scientific
truth in his experiments with radium
or simply, has observed cur curious
Professor Burke himself is not quite
sure what value should attach to the
results Of his experiments. He does
not say, nor does he actually believe,
that he has solved problem that has
baffled physicists and psychologists for
centuries. He does not say that he
made plain the origin Of life on the
| face Of the earth. He modestly re-

How He Got the Cultures.
Placing radium with sterilized bouil-
Ion, Professor Burke got cultures, but
what those cultures are he is unable to
state with any degree Of confidence
He does not think they are crystals
and, Dr.. Sims Woodhead of the Cam
bridge chair of pathology does not
think they, are bacteria a.s. .
Professor Burke is content to leave
the question open. He may have dis
covered that cultivating medium
treated with radium will generate liv
ing organisms, and if so, he has wo1
immortal fame, but he does not pro
fess to have made that discovery. Al
he says is that he has produced mani
festations previously unknown, anc
has brought into existence objects

Special to The Journal.
Winnipeg, Man., June 21.--The do
cesar synod of Rupertsland (Anglican)
is in session and Archbishop Matheson
presiding for the first time since Arch.
bishop MacRaY's death. delivered an
address touching expansion, finances
and mission Of church in the west Rev.
w. Stocker Of Elkhorn brought up the
following motion:
"That this synod considers that the
damnatory clause Of the Athanasian
creed expresses sentiments not in har-
mony with the gospel and that the use
Of them is detrimental to Christianity,
nor are they necessary
Discussing this drastic motion the
archbishop said: 1T is important to
note. that this synod has no .jurisdic-
ton to make the alterations suggested.
The matter can only come up at the
general synod which meets next Sep
TENDER in Quebec. The chief value Of
the resolution is that a discussion can
ensue and thus allow expressions Of
opinion which might affect the action
of the general synod. =

PRESIDENTS Ak
FALLS ON BOWEN

onerates LOOMS, Whom Taft
Calls Indiscreet.

Washington, June 21.-The dismissal
of Herbert w. Bowen, for some years
| United States minister to Venezuela,
and The generating Of Assistant Sec
rotary of State Francis A. LOOMS from
the allegations brought against him,
controversy. This disposition OF the
case is made by President Roosevelt, in
a letter addressed to Secretary Taft,
approving Mr.. Taft's findings and con-
illusions in the case.
The president scathingly arraigns Mr..
Bowen, declaring that his conduct is es-
pecially, reprehehsible; that Mr.. Bowen
asked one of his witnesses to enter the
employ of one corporation for the ,pur-
pose, in plain words, of stealing docu-
ments which he hoped might incriml-
nate Mr.. Loomis, and Mr.. Bowen has
for many months, indeed for the last
| two years. devoted himself : to hunt
ing up scandal and gossip until it be-
came a monomania and caused him to
show distinct dislcyalty' to the coun-
try he represented.
Hoped for Better Things.
The president says he had hoped to
promote Mr.. Bowen, as during much OF
his service he had done good work, but
that his usefulness in the diplomatic
service is now at an end. The president
adds that he would direct that Mr.. Bow.
en- g resignation be requested. but for his
statement that he would consider q
resignation as an admission of miscon
duct and the dismissal is therefore or.
dered. The letter quotes correspondence
and testimony. The president says it
appears that Mr.. Bowen. while minis
ter, secured publication Of attacks upon
Mr.. LOOMS and furnished to the press
documents pending before the state de.
partment for approval, and that his
explanation is inexcusable and shows
his entire tunftness'' for the service
Even if Mr.. LOOMS had been guilty
/. said the president, Mr.. Bowen g conduct
would have been objectionable. -
Loomis Not Discreet.
In his report Secretary Taft says that
there was nothing dishonorable in the
transactions in which Mr.. Loomis fig
ured. but that he was not discreet. The
report says that Mr.. LOOMS was MOI
justified in becoming personally inter
ested in any Of the schemes, either will
a mere nominal interest or substantial
interest. He holds, however, that MI
Loomis has been tmost cruelty Sian
dered,' commends him for the self-re
straint with which he has met tn
charges, and points out that Mr.. Loo
mis- bitter experience in this cas-
makes it unnecessary to point out tn
moral that minister cannot afford il
