LONDON. Feb. 1e.-The boom in rubber
shares which has excited the Stock FIX

expected dimensions. exceeding any IN
recent times. The demand Is due to the
public realizing that rubber can be profit
ably cultivated in parts Of the world

Numerous companies have been formed

devoted to trading in rubber shares.
The brokers are making huge profits.
The public is buying furiously- Many
persons who bought shares some line

There has been some question as to
the Legality OF such a contract. but as

NON-UNION MAN WINS.
Far Reaching Decision by New Jerse,
supreme Court.

TREHToN. N. j., Feb. ie.-The Supreme
Court to-day sustained a verdict for $3.50
damages recovered by Anthony 8. Ruddy,
q Newark plumber. who claimed he was
discharged from two jobs because he was
n non-unioh workman. Ruddy sued the
United Association Of Journeymen Plumb
ers. Steamfitters and Steamhtters Helpers
OF the United States and Canada,
Local "a OF Newark. and william Ryan. a
walking delegate OF the local. whom he
charged with being the agent directly
responsible for his discharge.
Ruddy's employers, William Jacob
and later p. Bturn. were warned that
unless he was discharged the union men
would quit their jobs.
The Supreme Court holds that from the
facts in the case II is clear that the pur-
pose Of these threats was TO impress upon
the employers that they would be stripped
OF their ability TO complete certain con-
tracts unless Ruddy was discharged, the
ultimate purpose being TO ooeroe Ruddy
into joining the defendant union. Com
mentlng upon the agreements shown to
exist between the members Of the union
the Court said:
sBy this combined understanding there
was put In the hands OF the general busi-
ness agent power not merely to call out
the union members but to cah them out
for the express purpose OF compelling the
discharge Of other employees. These
conditions being legitimately inferable

MICHEL NOT IN ACCORD ?
Pfesldent OF Aldermen Not willing 20 Use
City Money 20 Build subways.


President John Purroy Mitchell of the
Board OF Aldermen told the 700 guests
Of the New York Real Estate Board Of
Brokers assembled about banquet tables
in the Waldorf last night that he was
not willing. and he believed the present
city administration was not willing,
to devote municipal funds TO subway
building. thereby creating vast fortunes
for speculative investors in real estate
to be benefited by the new subways
~shout requiring the holders Of property
20 benefited themselves to contribute
a fair share of the burden OF expense.
The administration was pledged, he
sid. to the municipal construction Of
subways so far as possible. but in his
belief the only way in which the city could
finance the four proposed lines now under
consideration was by the assessment
and fra ctionaf contract methods.
President Mitchell began his heart to
heart talk on the topic 80 close to the
real estate brokers by saying that, al
though the margin Of the city's available
credit now stands at $40. 600 900. when
iISn that sum is deducted sufficient money

provements during the present year

~ is 70 lind out how much We can

LONDON. Feb. lS.-The business OF the
House of Lords and the House Of Com
mons to-day was confined TO the usual
formalities. The royal commissioners
gave their approval to the action OF the
Commoners in reelecting Mr.. Lowther
as Speaker. The Lords took the oath
and the swearing in Of the members OF
the Commons began. These formalities
will continue until February 81.
The Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain
who started the tariff reform campaign
years ago and who has represented the
west division Of Birmingham for almost
thirty-four years. was among those sworn
in as members OF the new House Of Com
mons.
The former Colonial Secretary. who ID
now in his seventy-fourth year and who
has been an invalid for several years,
entered the House on the arm Of his son
Austen, who assisted him to a seat. An
other member OF the House helped Austen
in taking him to his chair. He repeated
with evident difficulty the oath from a
card which the clerk held.
Austen Chamberlain who is himself a
prominent Unionist. then signed the book
in behalf Of his father. who was only able
to make a cross opposite his name. The
scene was pathetic.
Mr.. Chamberlain visit TO the House
was quite unexpected. 1t was late in the
afternoon when one Of the Government
whips announced in a whisper to the Clerk
that Mr.. Chamberlain was in the House
and was ready to be sworn in. Then when
the House had become hushed with sur
prise three men entered slowly from be-
hind the Speakers chair.
They were Lord Morpeth, the eldest
son OF the Earl Of Carlisle. who is the
Unionist member for South Birmingham:
Austen Chamberlain, and walking be-
tween them and supported by both was
Joseph Chamberlain. He returned. look
ing like shadow of his old self. to the
scene OF his greatest triumphs.
Lord Morpeth and Austen Chamberlain
took him to the front-opposition bench.
where he sat. resting his hands on a stick.
After the oath had been administered
Mr.. Chamberlain walked TO the Speakers
chair. Grasping the left hand. which Mr..
Chamberlain extended TO him. Speaker
Lowther in a brief sentence said he was
glad to see the honorable gentleman
once more in the House
Mr.. Chamberlain acknowledged this
sentiment with a simple Thank you.'
and then passed slowly out Of the House,
still attended by Austen and Lord Nor
peth. Il was the first visit of Mr.. Cham

Special Cable Dispatches TO THE SUN.
LONDON, Feb. io.-Prof. Sir William
Ramsay. the noted chemist. discussing
polonium. says that Mime. Curie does
not pretend to have done anything more
than separate n larger quantity Of the
metal than was ever previously separated.
He was pleased at her success in obtain
ing the quantity she secured, but he feared
that science would not be helped much
owing to the rapidity with which polOnium
decays.
Nevertheless il was onglived compared
with others in the series OF metals pro-
ducec By the decomposition OF radiurn.
The series consists OF radium emanation.
radium A. radium B. radium c, radium ID.
two radium Es and radium F. which was
almost certainly identical with poloniuin.
The whole life OF A, b and c was only
three hours. Hence it was impossible
to do anything with them. Radium
emanation is half gone in four days. On
the other hand. ID. with which Prof
Ramsay is now experimenting. lives for
forty years.
He says he would like to isolate pure
radium, a thing which has never been
done. Il is probably a white metal. he
says. but he does not know for certain
The risk Of losing il is too great to allow
OF the experiment being lightly under
taken. One does not care to run the risk
Of losing perhaps $4,000 in an attempt
to get pure radium when its compounds
are equally serviceable. But he is often
tempted to try.
PARIS. Feb. 16.-Mme. Curie. who
discovered in 1898 polonium, an element
which is 5000 times rarer than radium.
which she. with her husband. the late
Prof. Curie. also discovered, declines to
see interviewers on the plea that her
health has been affected by close study
and by night work
Prof Lpmann says the particle OF
polonium obtained by Nine. Curie is not
absolutely isolated, being combined with
several tenths OF a milligramme OF another
body. The quartz capsule in which the
fragment is kept is immersed in a liquid.
which continually bubbles and sizzles.
The phenomenon is probably Of electric
origin.
