full light of Roetngen, was publicly
honored today on the occasion Of his
18th birthday During the day he was
the recipient of addresses of congratu-
lation from scientific and learned so+
cieties in many parts Of the world.

to rank among the foremost scientists
of his day. He was born in London
and in his boyhood became interested
in photography. He took a course IN
the Royal College of Chemistry under
DIR. Hoffman, and soon became assis-
tant to his tutor At % he was ap-
pointed superintendent of the Rad

covery, which was publicly announced
last fall, consists of a process of ex-
tracting nitric acid from the atmoF

NOW on TRIAL
Alleged Assassin Of Marcum
Faces Jury the Second
Time

BEATTYVILLE, KY, June IA
special term of the Lee circuit court
convened here today for the second
trial of B. Fultin French, one of the
Breathitt county feud leaders, charg-
ed with the assassination of James B..
Marcum.
The assassination of Marcum oc-
Cured May 4, 1908. He was killed
as he stood at the courthouse door in
Jackson. Judge James Hargis, the
-Rreathitt counitv--fepd leader. and
Sheriff Ed Callahan of the samo coun-
ty were accused of employing Curt
Jett and Tom White to do the killing.
Jett was sentenced to hang and White
was given life term in the peniten-
tiary.
A year ago Jott confessed, saying he
had killed Marcum at the behest OF
Hargis and Callahan. He said White
had nothing to do with it. Later, how
ever, Jett was put on the witness
stnnd and he then repudiated in full
his conf ssion, saying he had beer
forced to make 1t by the attorneys
for the prosecution. Judge Hargis
and Callahan were acquitted. while
Mrs. Marcum. widow OF the murdered
man swore vengeance. Later Cur
Jett was given life sentence for th'
assassination OF James Cockriil, ant
upon a reversal OF his death sentenc'
for Marcum was given life sentene
for that murder also.
/ Fulton French, John Smith an
| John Abner were charged with, com
uiiciy in the assassination OF Mar
cum and tried here last summer on
change of venue from Breathitt coun
4 ty. The jury stood eight for hangin
and four for acquittal They could nj
agree and were discharged. Frencl
the man who Is now. TO be tried II
second time, is the former leader OF h
: faction in the French- -Eversole fet
! war in Perry county. In which near
100 men were killed French is said
be personally responsible for the dea
OF more than 80 of these men. He
now a lawyer and lives at Winchest

JAPS REVIEW
AMERICAN CASE
Caution Against HOtheaded
Action; Diplomacy
Will Win

TOXIC, June. 1.-THE text Oh tne
resolution which has been adopted oy
the constitutional party is as follows:
"The persecution of our compatriots
is deeply regretted for the sake OF
both America and Japan, but we must
not forget there exists between the
two nations the closest friendship
which might be called an alliance.
In fact after the professions OF the
government at Washington and the
American people In general, such in
cidents as are reported to have oc-
cured must not be taken as an ex-
preston OF their WILL 1t is believed
therefore that the questions If proper
" handled are capable Of a just ane
intelligent solution.
1--WE must refrain becoming excited
over the unlawful conduct of a part 2
the people and thus injuring the ha'
tional cause. We expect proper set
tlement soon to be reached througl

Russo-Japanese war, which was con

the closing chapter Of the war from
the pen Of the commander in chic
and for the merciless criticism Of the
men and measures which. I'm Kuropat
kin's estimate, swept Russia and IT.
arms to defeat.
The work consists OF three bulky vol,
times, respectively devoted to the bat
tie OF Liam Yang, Of the Sha river anC
of Mukden. The voluminous generu
orders. statistics, reports and othe:
documentary matter with the con
clusions" constitute most amazing rev

specific and urgent orders by certain
general officers entrusted with high
| commands in the field, notably Gen
Kaulbers, against whom formidable
indictment is framed, saddling upon
him the entire responsibility for the
defeat at Mukden.
Kuropatkin's reasons for the failure
| of the war are based chiefly upon 2
comparison of the warlike spirit of
the Japanese; their preparedness and
valor which, he says, had never been
| seen In any previous war. and their
ability to maintain the numerical supe-

owing to the inadequacy Of the single
track railway from Europe, with
commanding officers disobeying orders
and in a hopeless state of confusion
and cross purposes, with a low state of
morale and confidence among the
troops, and continuous news from
home Of internal troubles and insults
4 and reproaches against the army.
| The general pathetically concludes
that IL Russia had been united and
| ready to make the sacrifices necessary
to safeguard her dignity and integrity
the valiant Russian army would have
striven till the foe was subdued."
