rested last night while attempting to
reach Premier Asquith to present him
a petition in the interests of the cause,
were today sentenced to imprisonment
Most of the terms were for one month
An exception was made in the case
of Mrs. Pethfck Lawrence, who, hav-
ing previous conviction against her,
was sentenced to two months impris-
onment.
Miss Lawless was among those given
one month. Lady Constance Lytton,
sister Of Lord Lytton and daughter of
the former viceroy Of India, warned her
friends if they secured her release by
providing security she would repeat the
offense.
Sentences were imposed upon about
thirty women, including in addition to
the foregoing Miss Stratford Dugdale,
daughter of Commander Dugdale and
cousin of the Hon. VIM. r. Peet, who
was elected Tuesday in a bye-election
as a member of the house of commons;
Miss Solomon, daughter of the EXPIRE
mier of Cape colony, and Mrs. Gather
inc Elizabeth COrbett, an aristocratic
supporter of the movement. All these
women are of high social standing.
Most of the twenty-eight women sem
fenced took their punishment in digni-
fed silence.
All of the women were committed to
the second DIVISION" which in the
case Of the present batch of prisoners,
who belong mostly to the educated
classes, entails drastic changes in food
and method of living.
They all will be garbed in the rough
and uncouth prison garments, and their
food will be the ordinary prison fare.
They will not be allowed to communi-
cate with one another.
In spite of this far from alluring
prospect, the women went off to their
captivity giving outward signs Of the
utmost cheerfulness.

CHANGE OF VENUE BILL
is REPORTED FAVoRABLY Y

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 25.-The judi
ciary committee of the assembly re-
ported favorably today Grove L. john
sons change Of venue bill with an
amendment taking from a judge the
right to reassign a case in which he is
disqualified. If there were more than
one superior judge in a county the pre-
siding judge would assign the case, but
II there were no more than one the gov
ernor would make the assignment
The special pleading bill introduced
into the senate by A. z. BOynton of
Oroville and into the assembly by John
W. Preston of Ukiah was passed by the
lower house without dissenting vote
this afternoon.
For several days there had been con-
siderable opposition to the measure,
enmity had melted away.
The only change in the present law
is one making it discretionary with
juries whether they shall render spe-
cial or general verdicts, changing the
word must" to may" The act as
amended by both senate and assembly
is the same that was in force prior to
1905.
The adverse report of the committee
on fish and game, which body heard
last night the arguments of Harry
Polsley's resolution censuring the fish
and game commission, and demanding
an investigation of it's financial condi-
ton, was adopted by the assembly to-
day.
The house refused to approve A. M.
Drew's proposed constitutional amend
ment providing that the inhabitants of
any county may frame an act for their
T0nnf
would have taken this power out of the
hands Of the legislature. The vote was
close, the measure receiving within
eight of a majority.

SPERRY MAY PULL DOWN
FLAG ON CONNECTICUT

FORT MONROE, Va, Feb. 25.-Rear
Admiral Charles S. Sperry left tonight
for Washington, and the ships car
penter on board the flagship Connecti-
cut began to box up the admiraPs be-
longings. The impression grows that
Admiral Sperry soon will haul down
his flag.
1t is common gossip in the fleet that
the next commander-in-chiefb before he
retires from office next Thursday.
Admiral Sperry would have little to
gain from continuing in command at
this time, for the ships are due to re-
main at the navy yards, whence they
will soon be distributed, until May II.

TAKES PLACE OF RADIUM AND -,
PRICE WITHIN REACH OF ALL

CHICAGO, Feb. 25.-Dr. F. H. Black
mar of Hahnemann Medical college to-
day gave out further details of the dis
covery of 'radia thor which was
made public at New Orleans yesterday
by DR.. E. S. Bailey, also of Hahne-
mann college.
"One of our most curious experiments
with the new substance said DIR.
Blackmar, was the taking of a photo
graph through a stove lid, on which
some 'radia thor had been spread.
The powerful rays of this element en-
abled the light to pass through the iron
plate, thus permitting a photograph of
number Of pennies and other articles
on the opposite side.
Its basis is pitchblende, but with
this element are mingled others whose
names I don't care to disclose at this
time. Some of them are so rare that
we keep them in safety vault. The
new element, while far from being in
expensive, will be within the reach of
everybody who needs it. It's action is
quite as efficacous as that Of radium
There is not enough radium in the
whole world to treat all the people who
need its curative properties.
''The therapeutic value of our 'radia
thor or tho-rad-x, has been estab-
lished beyond question in the fourteen
AlOIIHS CAdI VIC nave DSeu dSl1Sf II LUZ
the treatment of disease. 1t never has
failed to give relief and in many cases
it has cured. Some of the diseases on
which it acts successfully are cancer,
tuberculosis Of the skin, ulcers, birth
marks and nervous affliction. Its rays
are as effective as those of radium, al
though it does not act so quickly. It's
moderate action keeps it from being
harmfully caustic, as radium is likely
to be when in the hands Of unskilled
persons. 1t has the same relative
power as radium-that is, it seems to
at only on tissues which are diseased
having no effect on healthy tissues.
This power, which has been described
by Sir Frederick Treves in a recent
article, nobody is able to explain
