Wales I'm considering the question of
forming a state radium bank. and the
matter has been referred by the min
listers concerned to the medical auth
critics. who, IL is understood, are fa-
vorabe. The scheme is one for maxi
ing the treatment of cancers, naevi
and other troubles by means of radium
available, not only to every hospital,
but to every private practitioner in
the State. both i'm Sydney and
throughout the country.
Such banks, IL is said are already

practitioners, as Is done I'm London

should provide sinking fund and in
terest. while ample radium would be
left constantly I'm the bank to be sup
piled to any recognized public hospital
for the free treatment of patients who
are genuinely unable to pay for It.

| MURDER OF FIVE
SECOND TRIAL OF BOB GLEN
MONS STARTS AT DECATUR,
ALABAMA ToDAy-TRAe-
EDY ONE YEAR OLD.

Decatur. Ala, oct. 3.-The case Of
Bob Clemmons. who Is charged with
the murder of the Edmondson' family.
came up for its second trial today in
the Morgan county court. The case
is one OF the most mysterious with
which the courts of this county have
ever had TO deal and the crime itself
one of the most horrible In the Grim
inal annals OF Alabama
The victims OF the tradegy, which
occurred more than a year ago. were
Tom Edmondson. his aged mother. his
wife and two children. The scene OF
the crime was the home OF the Ed
mondsons at Woodland Mills. this
county The home and barn were
burned and In their ruins were found
parts OF the remains of Edmondson's
wife and two children. but not the
slightest trace OF Edmondson or his
mother has ever been found. which
fact abs led 90 a supposition that Ed
mondson himself might have been the
murderer and that he and his mother
escaped alive.
on the other hand, strong circum-
stantial evidence pointed To Clemmons
as the murderer. Immediately after
the discovery of the crimes Clemmons
was taken into custody and has been
confined I'm jail here ever since. At
his first trial he was convicted and
sentenced to imprisonment for life
An appeal was taken 10 the supreme
court and that tribunal reversed the
verdict and remanded the case for
another trial.
