LIFE AND DEATH
FOUGHT It OUT
Rumor of Death Proved I'm
true But Later Became q
Fact

Salinas. CAL, May 15.-Twelve
hours before he was crushed to death
beneath his overturned auto, rumors
spreod through this city that Perry
Morse, a we'll known young seed
grower. had been killed on the road
between here and Watsonville. Late
yesterday, just twelve hours after the
rumor was circulated, Morse was
found fatally crushed beneath his
wrecked machine. But in the mean
time Morse had driven into town in
his machine to disprove the rumor.
After circulating about for some time
to show his friends that he was real
ly alive, he departed alone in the car
for WatsOnville.

contractor and builder, has had erect
ed at his country home, near Garden

"This, the first shaft in Ameri-
ca, is dedicated to Adam, the first
man."
IT.,
Mr.. Brady said today: A.,
After all, there is no serious rea-
son why there should not have been
thousands of memorials to Adam. He
had a pretty hard time of it. He was
something of hero. Just think of
ito be here on this big earth-not

Here Br. Brady said that he was
not going to back any movement to
erect monument to Eve.

PRIVATE INQUEST
Mysterious Death Being Investigated
by Victims Family,

Houston, Texas, May 15.-Conduct-
ed in secret and at the expense of the
family, an inquest and post mortem
examination was held today to deter
mine the cause Of the death of John
Kennedy, prominent lawyer, found
in a dying condition on the floor Of
his Office here two months ago. A
physician signed death certificate
giving heart failure as the cause, but
refused to sign another when the
widow went to collect $4,000 on life
insurance policy. The widow was
semi-hysterical today. She alleged
foul play, but later modified the
charge.
Kennedy was we'll known politici-
an and was several times a member
of the Texas legislature.

POLAND DIVIDED
Fourth Partition for Ancient Kingdom
Submitted to Duma.

SuUMICtCu 10 Uumas
St. Petersburg, May 15.-The min
lister of the interior today submitted
to the duma bill establishing Chelm
province. This is the so-called
fourth partition" of Poland, and will
take away from the former kingdom
of Poland about one-third of the
provinces of Lublin and Siedlice,
which will form the new province.
Chelm will be attached to Russia
proper. and will have population of
725,000. The territory contains a
large proportion of members of the
Russian orthodox church, who long
have chafed under Polish domination.
1t is expected that the bill will en-
counter violent opposition from the
Poles.

of mathematical astronomy was the dis
covery of the great planet Neptune.
whose existence was first rendered certain
by its pull upon the outer planets of our
system before it had ever been seen in
the telescope. In exactly the same way
the great attendants of Sirius and Pro-
cyon were discovered mathematically, and
their size and the paths in which they
moved were known, long before telescopes
of sufficient power to view them had been
constructed
1t has long been recognized that the
motions of the inner planets of our sys
tenn are similarly disturbed. 1t was at
first thought that these disturbances
might be accounted for by the pull of an
undiscovered planet revolving close to the
sun, and at one time the discovery Of
sucl body (Which received the appro-
pirate name of Vulcan) was actually AN
nounced. But it soon became evident
that one planet alone could not cause
the disturbances observed, and that if
new bodies existed nearer the sun than
Mercury there must be several of them.
AS these supposed little bodies must
necessarily have been very near the sun,
they could only be detected during the
very few minutes Of total eclipses, when
the light of the sun was hidden by the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1909-11-28

such bodies accordingly announced. The

have shown conclusively that no new
piaEets of anything like such brightness
ca 4 exist in the neiGhborhood of the sun.
One of the most interesting astronomi-
cal achievements of the past year has
been the discovery of the true cause of
the disturbances of the motions of the
inner planets. 1t has been shown that
these are almost certainly due to the
very slight attraction caused by the 20
dacal light, that great lens-shaped cloud
of meteoric particles which surrounds our
sun and extends outward beyond the or
bit of the earth. The expensive search
for new planets within the orbit of Mer-
curry will therefore now no doubt be dis
continued.
