Comet May Kill

Cyanogen Gas Around
The Wanderer-Clash
Among Astronomers
Especial Dispatch 10 The CALI

BOSTON, Mass, Feb. IA tel
egram received here today from
Yerkes observatory states that
the spectra of Halley's comet
shows very prominent cyanogen
bands
The fact that cyanogen is pres
ent in the comet has been COM
municated to Camille Flamma-
rion, the distinguished French
scientist, and is causing a great
deal of discussion as to the prob
able effect on the earth should it
pass through the comets tail.
F'lammarion is of the opinion
that cyanogen gas would impreg
nate the atmosphere and possibly
snuff out all life on the planet.
Most astronomers do not agree
with Flammarion, inasmuch as
the tail OF the comet is of almost
inconceivable ratification, and
believe it would be repelled by
the mass of earth.

Of Oakland.
The first ballot gave Belshaw II,

showed 10 for Belshaw, for Davis
and one each for Mott and Charles :.
Wheeler. The tnsistence of the Davis
men and the fact that only two-thirds
Of the committeeman attended yester-
DAYS meeting has revived the hope that
Davis can be forced to run. The com

day. February Is.
SOUTHERNERS FEAR CONFERENCE

cred by the committee at two sessions
which consumed the entire day were
state conference and candidate for

and they are for Davis fre governor.

Davis OF Oakland, who has the call on
The leagues Endorsement if he would
consent to exercise his option. Davis
is a vice president of the league and
Mott IS a member Of The executive COM
mittes When the committee got
around 10 discussion Of gubernatorial
timber Davis and Mott withdrew from
the meeting and made a social cali on
Belshaw.
MANY ARE CONSIDERED
The list Of possibilities gone over by
the committee included Mott Belshaw,
Davis. Hiram W. johnson. Charles II.
Bentley, Charles :. Wheeler and Fran
els J. Heney. and some one dropped in
the name of former Governor George
O. Pardee
Heney was originally the first choice
of President Chester II. Rowell, who
has known for long time that the
former special prosecutor would not
consent TO the use Of his name. For
Davis. Johnson and Bentley insistent
declmations were entered. The names
Of Pardee and Wheeler were introduced

St PetersburG-From Vladimir
Tschertkof. literary agent Of Count
Tolstoi, the last article written by
Tolstoi has been received. II II en-
titled Effective Means" and was
written by Tolstoi in the Optina
monastery, November IL. shortly aft
er he began his self-imposed exile
from home. The article was given
out By n. Tschertkon at the express
wish Of Count Tolstoy for dissemina-
ton to mankind. It says:
Il am naturally anxious to do all I
can against evil, which tortures the
best spirits OF our time.
Il think the present effective war
against capital punishment does not
need forcing; there is no need for an
expression Of indignation against its
immortality, cruelty ard absurdity-
every sincere thinking person, every
body knowing from youth the sixth
commandment, needs no explanation
Of its absurdity and immortality;
there Is no need for descriptions o.
the horrors Of executions. az they
only affect hangmen, 30 men will
moro unwillingly become execution
ers and governments will be obliged
to compensate them more dearly for
their service.
Therefore. I think that neither the
expression Of indignation against the
murder Of our fellowmen nor the sug.
gestion Of Its horror Is mainly need
ed. but something totally different.
"As Kantwell says. there are delu-
sions which cannot be disproved and
we must communicate to the deluded
mind the knowledge which will en-
tighten and then the delusions will
Danish by themselves.

nicate to the deluded human mind re-
garding the indispensableness, useful.
ness or justice OF capital punishment
