mind he demonstrated it on one II
Mr.. Greenbaum's pictures in his studio
in Blanchard hall. The result was sat
isfactory, and it was then and there
decided that Mr.. Greenbaum should
produce a canvas with the image o1
the Savior and the cross thereon, and
that Bobrick should illuminate it with
the paint which he had by much labor
and study produced.
Several weeks ago Bishop Garrison
at a meeting at Temple Auditorium
declared that the illumination was pro.
duced by luminous paints, and Offered
to produce a chemical formula by
which similar colors could be made.
To Exhibit Picture
When the picture is completed they
purpose placing it on exhibition and
applying the proceeds to some charity
1t is probable also that they mill make
engagements with charity organiza-
lions in San Jose, San Francisco, Port
land and Seattle and exhibit the pic
ture there, not as something the result
of superhuman powers. but as an
achievement of science. Mr.. Bobrick
gives formulate for making luminous
paints and discusses the matter in the
following manner:
THE art of preparing luminous
paints has been known to scientists for
years. The reason why this speciality
is so little known to the general public
is because the cost of it's manufacture
is high and the demand limited.
"In Germany and some other Euro
pean countries luminous paints are
being used to some extent for house
numbers, danger signs and the like
The painted signs absorb enough light
during the day to be readable ard Wis
ible at night.
Gives Formula
Attempts have been made to paint
theatrical scenery, but without success
as the luminosity is not visible in semi
darkness to any advantage.
"The illuminating power of the
phosphorescent masses obtained by
heating strontium thiosulphate or bari
um thiesulphate is considerably in
creased by the addition, before heat
ing, of small quantities of the nitrates

BE MADE
Chemist of Los Angeles Purposes to
Produce Portraits That Will Rival
So-CalIed Miraculous
Productions

That paintings with so-called mlrac-
ulous or supernatural properties can
be produced by any one who knows
the proper formula and applies the
colors in the right way is the conten-
ton of G. A. Bobrick, prominent
chemist of Los Angeles, who, with his
associates. will produce painting OF
this nature and exhibit it wherever a
miraculous" picture is displayed.
Mr.. Brobrick and Joseph Greenbaum,
the we'll known artist. are preparing
to give an exhibition soon that Will
reveal what wondrous effects can be
produced on canvas by the use of lumi-
nous paints.
Mr.. Greenbaum is now engaged In
painting on large canvas a picture
of the Savior and the cross. The lu-
minous paint will be used to bring out
the picture as a shadow. Mr.. Bobrick
and the artist have associated with
them number of prominent persons
who are bearing the expense of pro-
ducing this picture, and on their part
it is simply donation.
A few days ago Mr.. Bobrick and Mr..
Greenbaum demonstrated the fact that
they could by the use of luminous
paint produce a wonderful effect. Mr..
Bobrick, being an expert chemist,
worked on the formula for some days
before he got the desired result.
When he was satisfied in his own

To questions as to her relations with
other fellows she asserted that Thayer
was the only one with whom she had
been intimate.
Miss Mitchell stated, in answer to a
query, that her relations with Thayer
had been honorable from June until the
time of his death.
The attendants at the Door of Hope
followed, confirming the girls testi-
mony. DR.. NJ. H. Bulley testified in
regard to Miss Mitchell's condition
when admitted to the home.
Mrs. E. P. Tibbits proved good
witness for the defense, stating that
William was insane prior to the shoot
ing. She said he would not recognize
her on the street. his face was white
and haggard looking, with a vacant
stare in his eyes.
The hypothetical question was then
given to DIR. Justice, who testified that
in his opinion Mitchell was insane at
the time of his crime.
Trial will be resumed at $3.50 O'Clock
this morning and counsel for the de-
Tense stated that their case would be
finished before noon. The prisoner will
not testify in his own behalf.

Another letter was admitted written
by the girl to Thayer while she was
confined in the Door of Hope, ana seV :
eral postcards written at the same
time The object Of lntrouuGang >, e e,1t !
letters was to disprove the argument
of the defense, that Thayer was the
one who followed and persisted IN MS
attentions to the girl. o,
In the second letter, dated Septem-
Der 5, 'OS. Ethel reiterates her love Tor
Cecil, and thanked him for ms pres
ents of candy and bracelet, sent IeI
while she was in the home. She also
planned how he should see her while
she was confined in the home and dl-
rected him to go to the church sun
day nights, when inmates of the nome
attended services.
The letter, like the others, was re-
plete with girlish expressions OF love,
and it was evident that she worried
whether Thayer would be true or not
while she was confined in the home.
She testified that the candy and brace
let were delivered to her by Thayef
himself who went to the home in the
guise of a messenger boy.
She stated that in January, l9OS'
Thayer formally proposed marriage, al
| though it had already been understood
that he was to marry her Attorney
Grover Walter of the defense created a
general laugh when he endeavored to
give an imitation of a proposal. He
! finally abandoned the task stating he
was not versed in twentieth century
methods of asking a bashful maid to
share ones happiness through life.
The denial by Miss Mitchell of her
testimony given at the inquest fol-
| lowed she asserting that she had not

WHERE 70 KICK.
When Your Insurance Rates are Popped W
Tell Your Troubles to the Insurance
Commissioner.

Regarding insurance rates that try
to soar aloft with the price OF wheat,
the Hutchinson News says:
1T your insurance rates have been
boosted, kick And kick to the right
party, where it will do some good.
Send your kick to Charles W Barnes,
insurance superintendent, Topeka,
Kansas.
There have been increases in insur.
ance rates at some towns, possibly in
Hutchinson, and agents have been
known to explain the increase by say
lug th It the new law is responsible.
This is not true. On the contrary the
new law provides means for a fair
adjustment Of rates, something the
insured has never had before.
The situation is just this. Insurance
companies, under the Law enacted by
the legislature last winter, are requir-
eli to file their rates with the insur-
ance commissioner. who is empowered
by the same law to change those rates
on showing that the rates are unfair.
He has The same power with reference
10 insurance rates that the board VI
railroad commissioners have with re
epect to railroad rates. Ifyour fire
insurance rates have been increased
or II you think the present rate too
high, regardless Of whether it has
been recently increased, send q COM
plant to the superintendent Of insur-
once.
To doing this, state your reasons for
| believing the rates are extortionate.
II viii help the superintendent to at.
tend to your case. He will have
hundreds, perhaps thousands Of com
