Z weeks was certainly less than

From this it follows that one
gramme of thronite generates
less than 81 X 10-6 cubic cent?
meters of helium per year.
Hence at least 240 million years
must be allowed for the accu-
mutation of the 9 cubic cent?
meters of helum which are act
ually found in each gramme Of
freshly mined thorianite. The
experiment with pitchblend
gave a value for the rate of pro-
duction of helium which is of
the same order of magnitude as
the value calculated by Ruther-
ford. but as the results are not
regarded as absolutely certain
experiments on a larger scale
have been commenced. At all
events the biologists estimates
of the age of the earth appear to
be much nearer the truth than
the estimates formerly made by

Eighteen of the legal voters of
Fulton including Mott Ayers,
have filed a petition setting at
naught the recent local option
election on the grounds, mainly,
that men women and children
congregated around the polling
places on the morning of the
election spending the day in
song and prayer and pleading
with men to vote dry. One
other reason set forth was, that
the ballot was so short that it
was impossible for the voter to
deliver to the Judges, without it
becoming known how they voted.
Strange that the man voting
against the evil doesn't care for
the world knowing how he voted
while those voting for it are so
ashamed they want to hide it.
This of its self is an admission
that it is a curse. Perhaps these
500 women and children in pray
err hurts. But let them pray for

Railroads Discussed
For Three Long Hours

WASHINGTON, March 31-Com-
handing the careful attention of a
majority of his colleagues, Senator
Root today consumed three hours in
continuing his speech in defense of
the administration railroad bill before
the senate. He again failed to con-
clude his remarks. He defended the
merger provisions Of the bill as a
great advance over the existing law,
as it made the purchase of one COM
pany's stock by another an offense,
while he argued, such acquisition was
not now illegal except as part of a
conspiracy.
He also supported the traffic agree
ment section. but expressed a willing
ness to require such agreements to be
dependent on the approval of the in
terstate commerce commission.
Traffic Agreements Important.
Mr.. Root emphasized the provision
permitting traffic agreements as of
special Importance He declared the
present prohibitive act provoked it's
own violation. This course was most
dcmoralizing and should not be en-
outraged by failing to put it in the
power Of the railroads to observe the
law and still make their agreements.
It was better to have the railroads
voluntarily conform to the law than
to have them forced to do so, he
said
I'VE insist upon competition" he
continued. but we prohibit such COM
petition as we think injurious, and we
forget The railroads themselves may
be better able to enforce the law than
can any officer in Washington"
He argued in many matters the rail-
roads were practically required to
enter into agreements and so long as
| this was true, he said, it was abso-
lutely necessary the roads be author
lied to come together. To do this
would be to wipe out an anomaly and
abuse"
In reply to an inquiry from Mr.
| Rayner. Mr.. Root said he would favor
; an amendment requiring that agree
ments among railroads should have
the approval of the interstate COM
merce commission before going into
effect. He did not, however, regard
the addition as of particular import
ance. The only reason for its inser-
ton would be to avoid misunderstand-
| ing. The concession. however, was
considered by the opponents of the
bill as very important.
Depew Wants Amendment.
Mr.. Depew advocated amending the
bill to require governmental approval.
He said he had held to that position
for many years before he entered the
senate.
And I believe that this is the at
titude Of every railroad man in the
country" he added.
Senator Clapp said he would insist
the bill be 50 worded as to make
agreements unlawful unless approved
| by the commission.
! Mr.. Root said he never would con-
! sent to give to the commission the
/ right to suspend a rate fixed by a
! railroad without investigation.
! He would not consent that any Of
/ fetal should fix the railroad rates, but
was willing the government should
! supervise rates. To do more would
I be to change from the American tC

lowing.

reports from Kansas held the wheat
market firm today and at the close
prices We're Use to Sac higher. Corn

Activity and strength in May was the

option showed greater firmness than
the new crop months at all stages and

ports concering the condition of the
growing grain. Advices from Kansas
were of more definite character than
heretofore, and showed that a larger
per cent of the crop had been winter
killed. These reports, however, had
been largely discounted. The range
on the July delivery today was SAG

of corn prompted some selling in the
final half day, but the market closed
firm with May at $1.14 rs. July clos
ed at $1.0S IL and September $1.O5

Some firmness was shown at the
outset in the corn market owing to
the bulge in wheat, but before the
end of the first half hour prices had
started downward The market closed
weak at almost the bottom with prices
lac to 5-Sc lower May sold between
81 1-S01-4c and 63 1-Sc and closed at

On Good Terms

NEW YORK, Mar 31.-How William

low dog" fund of former years. worked
shoulder to shoulder, oiling legislative
wheels I. at Albany, was brought out
today at the fire insurance inquiry con-
Quoted by William H. Hotchliss, state
superintendent of insurance.
Hamilton, the evidence showed, re-
ceived no less than $500 from certain
companies in 1901.
HamiltOnS name was put on the rec
ord through the testimony of Henry
c. Wilcox, vice president of the Am
erican Surety company. In 1901, Will
cox testified, the fire insurance COM
panies caused to be introduced in the
legislature a bill to exempt unearned
premium reserves from taxation. Mr..
Wilcox wanted to have the casualty
and surety companies included in the
exemption and accordingly went to AL
bany.
He tried to get Senator Raines and
Assemblyman Lewis interested, but
failed Then he hunted up Buckley
and told him his troubles.
Buckley he said, told him that Ham
ilton was the one to help him. Buck
ley telephoned to Hamilton and said
Hamilton agreed to take 1t up.
Wilcox left Albany and the amend
ment went through as desired When
it was all over, Hamilton sent a bill
for $4,000 to the American Surety
company"
Did he tell you he had to pay out
any of the money!" the witness was
asked.
He conveyed to me the suggestion
that he had assumed obligations which
he could not meet unless the full am
cunt were paid"
This was as strong as Mr.. Wilcox
would put it. He thought the bill too
large, but as a compromise, he said,
he sent three checks to Hamilton, ag-
gregating $6,469. Later the National
Surety company paid $3.50 to Hamil-
ton.

WASHINGTON, March 31.-Presi-

power of the eastern states in con-

there. He contrasted the influence of
the east in l. gislative work with that
of the west

the small states Of the east exercise
so much power in congress? 1t is
not because an eastern man has any
more capacity in the matter of leg
station than western man. 1t is
because when the eastern states get
a good representative they keep him
as long as he lives and then he has
an influence that vastly exceeds the
mere numerical representation of pop
