GAIN MILLIONS OF YEARS
Scientists Helped in Estimate of
Earth's Age BY Radium

London. November 21.-Sir Robert
Hall said in :: lecture at the Bishop
gate institute t'!J the discovery Of
radium Lad -;,'.,. Il long w:l;- toward
sowing Az iInpol ttnt controversy be-
tween matheniaticianS and gcologiets.
Lord Kelvin calculated from what
was then known about the earth'S in
tcrnal heat that not more than 20,O00.-
$40 years ago the surface was 50 hot
water could not rest on it and the
oceans were vigorous" Biologists
contendeG that it must have taken $780,
OOO,WO years for the rocks to form and
reach their present condition. The
mathematician revised KelvinS figure
and said he was right.
Now it appears that the earth's
crust contains a considerable Quantity
, of radiun. which is forever pouring
out heat at great rate. This being
the case Sir Robert reasons. the
date ut which the earth first became
cool enough for life must have been
sufficiently remote to give biologists

WOMAN TRIES MURDER
ATTEMPTS THE LIFE OF PROMI-
NENT CITIZEN OF UTAH.

Arthur Brown, who registered on the 9Th
the Raleigh Hotel, was discovered about
2:3O o'clock this afternoon in his room on
the second floor suffering from two bullet
wounds in his stomach. The police have
held a woman who was found with him,
and who refused to give her name. When
asked by one of the officers whether she
had done the shooting she said she would
not say anything about the matter at this
time.
The man was taken at once to THE Emer-
gency Hospital 1t is not known whether
he will recover.
When asked who her companion was the
woman said he was an ex-senator from
Utah. 1t is probable that she meant state
senator. The police questioned her further
and she replied:
ASK Senator Sutherland about the af-
fair
The woman is of a slight build and ap-
pears to be about thirty years of age. She
was very composed during her examina-
ton by the police, and left the hotel in their
custody without any hesitation.
Surgeons at the hospital found that the
man was also shot in the right hand. 1t
is said that complications may result from
the wound in the abdomen.
The wound in the abdomen is regarded
by the surgeons as so serious that death
may result at any moment, although reac-
than an hour.
The woman's name was given by Mr..
Brown as Annie NJ Bradley. She would
not disclose her name, but she did ask
permission to send some kilograms to Utah
The permission has not yet been granted
her.
The woman appears cool and was unaf-
fected when told that Brown might die.
She had a conversation with him in room
6s of the Raleigh Hotel prior to the Shoot
ing. 1t was in that room that the shooting
occurred
Inspector Boardman was sent for in the
hope that he could induce the woman to
talk.
Brown was still conscious at 1928 o'clock.
The surgeons say his display Of nerve
augurs well for the success of the operation
which will be necessary.
1t is stated at the Emergency Hospital
that Brown is state senator in Utah.
