PUZZLE OVER MERCURY.
Professor Says There Are No Planets
Between u and Sun.

San Francisco.-That there are no
planets between the sun and Mercurv
and that scientists must find anothe
theory to explain why Mercury does
not move in the regular orbit de.
scribed for It are the conclusions Prof
w. w. Campbell. head of the Lick OBJ
servatory. has reached from the de
velopment OF Photographic plates
taken at Flint island several months
ago. The plates show the complete
absence OF any planet between the
sun and Mercury.
For SO years astronomers have been
puzzled by the problem that Mercury
does not follow the path which should
be its natural course. and which
mathematical astronomy has outlined
for 1t. That there was force pulling
It from Its orbit and that this force
was the attraction Of planets between
It and the sun was the general theory
Prof. Campbell said: These photo
graphic plates dispose Of this theory
and mathematicians will have to look
elsewhere for forces. While the plates
have not received their final develop

harges made public to the effect that
Ie had been involved in an attempted

Tew Mexico with one Edmund Burke
md others, the company which they
lad formed seeking to obtain possess

figure of millions of acres of valuable
timber Mr.. Sherman's statement is
as follows:
"My attention has been called to a
sensational article in the New York
World, making charges against me in
connection with the New Mexico Lum-
Der and Development Company, a cor
poration which has not been in exis-
tence for some years. Bah! It's rub
bish. That's all! A careful reading
shows that the charges, SO far as am
ever, and as to my connection with the
enterprise the fullest possible inves-
tisation and publicity are courted.
The fact about it, briefly, is that
some years ago Mr.. Burke presented a
business proposition involving the
purchase of timber lands in New Mex
leo, which were not United States
property, and the construction OF a
railroad.
No Secret About II.
There were ten gentlemen, think,
who gave $500 each to form a COM
pany and Investigate the project. Elk
perts were employed to inspect the
property. Some of us investigated the
lands
after looking into the matter care
fully and at length, we decided tina.
the lands available would not yield a
profit on the railroad construction and
development. The plan was abandon
