PHOTOGRAPH MADE
THROUGH STOVE LID
Radia Thor, Discovered by Chi
cagO Physician, Has the
Properties of Radium
inexpensive Substance Said to
Cure Disease Without Any
Harmful Caustic Effect

CHICAGO, Feb. 25.-Dr. f. II. Black
mar of Hahnemann medical college to-
day gave out further details of the dis
coveSy of 'radia thor" which was made
public at New Orleans yesterday by Dr.
f. 5. Bailey, also of Hahnemann col
lege.
Dr.. Blacl<mar said:
One of our most curious experiments
with the new substance was the taking
of photograph through a stove lid
on which some radia thor had been
spread. The powerful rays of this ele-
.ment enabled the light to pass through
the iron plate, thus permitting pho
tograph of number of pennies and
other articles on the opposite side.
RARE SUBSTANCES HIDDEN
It's basis is pitch blende, but with this
element are mingled others the names
of which l don't care to disclose at this
time.
Some of them are so rare that we
keep them in a safety deposit vault.
The new element, while far from be-
ing inexpensive. will be within the
reach of everybody who needs it. Its
action is quite as efficacious as that of
radium. There is not enough radium
in the whole world to treat all the
people VINO need It's curative properties.
MANY DISEASES CURED
The therapeutic value of our radia
thor. or tho-rad-X. has been Established
beyond question in the Ia months that
we have been using it FOR the treatment
of disease. 1t never has failed to give
relief, and in many cases it has cured
Some of the diseases on which 1T
cts successfully are cancer, tubercu-
loSis of the skin. ulcers, birthmarkS and
nervous affections. Its rays are as eff
fective as those of radium although
it does not act so quickly.
Its moderate action keeps it from be-
ing harmfully caustic, as radium is
likely to be when in the hands of un-
skilled persons. 1t has the same rela-
tive power as radium-that is, 1T seems
to act only on tissues which are dis
eased, having no effect on healthy It's

STANDARD OIL FINE
LIMITED BY COURT
Judge Anderson Holds Settle
ments and Not Carloads Con-
stitnte Units of Rebates
Penalty Reduced to $4,000
Maximum Instead of the
S1O,OOO,OOO Claimed

CHICAGO. Feb. 25.-From Judge
Landis' fine of s29.24O.OOO to possible
maximum fine of $4,000 is admitted
to be the meaning OF ruling made to-
day by Judge Anderson in the retriaI
of the Standard oil company OF In
diana for alleged .rebating- The ruling
was Informal. but it almost certainly
will stand.
The court of appeals in ruling out
Judge Lands great fine eliminated
the view that each carlot of oil on
which a rebate was accepted consti-
tuted a separate offense. There were
1.462 of these carlots. the freight
chargs for which were paid in SS Diff
ferent settlements.
PROSECUTION OVERRULED
Judge Anderson interpreted the de-
cision. which he said served as his
guide, to imply that the alleged re-
bates accepted after each of the 36
settlements constitute the units OF
offense.
Judge Anderson's ruling was a Sc
we're blow to District Attorney Sims
He and his assistant. James II. Wilker-
son, had argued that each of the 500
shipments. making possible maxi
mum penalty of $4,000, 900, constituted
an offense. This view Judge Anderson
declared he could not understand. He
saw no reason why. il trainload or
a carlot were regarded as a separate
offense. the matter might not be fur
ther divided, making a hundredweight
the unit. or a gallon. greatly increas-
ing the number of Offenses and magni-
flying the punishment.
NATTER FOR LAW MAKERS
Wilkerson argued that the fine pos
sible under the courts ruling would
serve merely as a license to a great
corporation. On this Judge Anderson
said in effect:
THAT is a consideration which has
no weight with us whatever. L am not
concerned with the effectiveness OF the
statutes. but with their Interpretation
and application. If the view that L
have taken has the effect you stated.
that is a matter for the law makers
to consider. If the laws are made
quate, get them to supply a remedy"

The chain connecting the pearls was
broken before, and only three or four
months ago [ had the necklace re-
strung The clasp could not have

Il believe that the necklace was lost
in the white and gold room, where Miss
Crocker had supper. Henry 7. Scott
said yesterday, and for this reason:
If the Jewels had been lost in the
ballroom or the corridors, either
guest or one of the regular employees
would have picked it up, and in that
case 1 am sure that it would have
been returned. 1t was only in the
white and gold room that extra men
were employed, and so | think one of
them picked up the pearls"
BELIEVES GEMS PICKED UP
That the pearls were stolen from Miss
Crocker while she was wearing them
none of the detectives believes. They
all are working on the theory that the
gems were picked up after they had
fallen to the floor.

Miss Crocker and the detectives are
united in believing that the necklace
Will be returned. They are echoed in
this belief by prominent jewellers, who

was purchased, said yesterday. The
pearls, besides, are perfectly matched,
and so to sell them singly would de-
preciate their value. To match neck
lace perfectly requires great time and
skill, and in collecting this string the
attention of gem dealers everywhere
was drawn to the jewels. Besides, each
pearl is bored through. and the color
and sizes are well known

President Sends Report to Con-
gress Urging Need of High
est Efficiency
Especial Dispatch 10 The CALI

=
WASHINGTON, Feb Ex-senator
Perkins is making strong fight to
have retained in the naval appropria-
tion bill the provisions requiring half
of the navy to be kept on the Pacific
coast and fixing the pay for Golfers
The house conferees are opposed to
the first amendment, but it is belived
that their opposition is maintained in
order that they may obtain concessions
on other items. 1t is possible that the
amendment will be worded a little
differently to meet the objection of the
house managers. but the main object,
which is the protection of the Pacific
coast, will be gained.
STAND ON PRICE OF GOLFERS
Perkins is anxious to have stricken
from the bill the house provisions linn
iting the cost of naval Golfers. He
insists that the law should stand as
enacted last year, when the cost of a
collier to be built at Mare island was
fixed at $1,S00, 900.
Strong objection was made today by
house conferees against the proposal
to make an investigation on the south
ern California coast for the establish
ment OF a naval base. and the amend
ment was stricken out. The southern
California congressman think Perkins
was not particularly anxious to have
this item retained.
ADVISORY BOARD FAVORED
The president today transmitted to
congress two preliminary reports of the
commission he appointed to consider
the needs of the navy. The commission
recommends an advisory body for the
secretary, declaring that what the sec
retary needs above all is clear under
standing and firm grasp of military
conditions.
The commission is unable to report
on the subject of navy yards required
by strategic considerations in war time
and for maintaining fleet in constant
readiness for war during peace. owing
to the limited time it has available.
JOINT COMMISSION NAMED
1t recommends that the subject be re-
ferred to a joint army and navy COM
mission, and accordingly the president
has appointed Rear Admiral Mahan,
Rear Admiral Sperry and Rear Admiral
Wainwright and Captain Winslow of
the navy and Major General Bell and
Brigadier Generals Witherspoon and
Marshall of the army to report on the
subject
In asking congress to consider the
report the president says that the navy
should be treated from the standpoint
of the interest of the whole country
and that all other considerations should
be ,subordinated to keeping it In the
highest condition of military efficiency,
for it must be prepared for war or else
it is useless, and it can not be prepared
for war unless always in the highest
state of military efficiency.
