CANADIANS DESIRE
A GULF OUTLET

CHICAGO, Dec 29.-H H. Howard.
Chief Justice of the Court of Appeals,
Winnipeg, Manitoba, arrived here last
night with Mrs. Howard. They are
making pleasure trip to the Pacific
Coast.
Reciprocal relations with Canada
will develop commerce In all portions
of the United States, but 1T may take
years to bring 1T about" the Justice
said. Canadians want deep water
way to the Gulf of Mexico IL 1t will
not endanger our northern lakes, and
it may not do that. We will not fight
such a project, as is generally pre-
sumed, except to protect our interests.
THE ship canal would mean much to
the entire United States, and Canada
would secure her portion Of the COM
mercial traffic. 1t looks good to US,
lakes or no lakes. We hope for some
sort of reciprocal relation which will
open the commerce of both countries
to the world"

HINDU Immigrants
ARE DETAINED
Secretary Straus Considers
Case of Undesirable Peo-
pie Bound for This City
SOME ARE DISEASED

WASHINGTON. Dec. 2s.-An inter-
esting case regarding the admission
into the United States from Vancouver,
B. c., of ten Hindus who desire to go
to San Francisco is under consideration
by Secretary Straus of the Department
of Commerce and Labor.
The statement of the case shows
that six immigrants are diseased and
four are in good physical condition.
They have no friends in this country.
none of them speaks English and they
have barely enough money to enable
them to reach San Francisco. In the
opinion of the immigration officers
they are likely to become public
charges.
In the past few years $500 Hindus
have arrived in British Columbia.
They are, according to the reports of
the Dominion immigration authorities,
an undesirable class of immigrants.
The feeling in British Columbia Is so
strong against them on account of
their habits and unsanitary methods
of living that the inhabitants have in
some instances burned the Hindus'
houses in order to compel them to
leave.
The immigration officers ~on the
Canadian border denied the Indus
admission to the United States and
the case is now on appeal to Score
tary Straus.

PARENT Of RAD|UM
IS DISCOVERED
American Scientist Finds
That Wonderful Element
Emanated From Uranium
SEX CONTROL DENIED

NEW YORK. Dec. 29.-Announce-
ment was made yesterday before the
physics section of the American Asso-
which is in session here, of an i'm
portant discovery relative to radium.
1t has been suggested that radium was
a derivative of another chemical ele-
ment and was in its present state
merely temporary and uranium was
set down the parent element. Yes
terday DR.. Bertram B. Boltwood and
Professor T. w. Rutherford read papers
demonstrating that radium can be OBJ
tained from actinium, which is itself a
derivative of uranium. This discovery
about the wonderful element may lead
to remarkable results.
Professor Rutherford holds that
uranium is the Methusaleh of radium, -
and that doubtless there were many
generations between uranium and actin
ium. He said the discovery would not
Increase the supply of radium.
Professor T. II. Morgan read a paper
before the American Society of Natural
lists dealing with the general subject
The Biological and Significance and
Control of Sex" which excited much
interest, because he discussed the pos
sibility OF determining sex in human
beings. He seriously questioned the
theory which has prevailed of recent
years that nutrition has an intimate
relation to sex determination. He said
that 1t is apparent that so many other
external factors than food may be In
yolved that the slight difference upon
which the conclusion as to nutrition
is based may be due to other conditions
than nutrition. II nutrition really were
such a factor as has been conceded, a
far greater disproportion of males to
females in the offspring of the rich and
OF the poor should be looked for, he
said. than has been shown by Businss
Ga German biologist statistician) figures
on the subject Recent experiments In
Europe with rats and mice had shown
that even extreme conditions of star
walton and of feeding produced no ef-
feet upon the BIRTH rate of males and
females.

STOCK LIQUIDATION
IS RESUMED
Speculative Market Suffers
and Decline in Prices
Spreads to New Quarters
MONEY is IMPROVING

NEW YORK. Dec. 2e.-There was a
resumption OF liquidation in the stock
market today, and il had disquietlng
influence on speculative sentiment, the
more so as superficial conditions offered
no explanation Its source also was
somewhat mysterious. The disturbing
influence of the heavy declines Of a
number Of important stocks was seen
fn the temperance of rumors about
the Stock Exchange of financial DIM
culties The pressure centered on the
Hill stocks, St Paul and Reading. but
showed a growing tendency TO spread
10 other portions of the list
The severe declines already made in
those stocks carry as a necessary con-
sequence heavy speculative losses in
some quarters, and IL was this unavoid-
able Inference that gave force to the
current apprehensions. The disap-
rotnttng effect on the prices of the
stocks of the new issues of Great
Northern preferred, Northern Pacific
and St Paul is of far-reaching conse-
ouence to the speculative situation.
The action of Reading also was evil
dence of a difficult market position on
the part Of large holdings of stock on
margin. No loans are made at the
stock Exchange on Saturday. so that
the money situation is of a sympathetic
influence.
