GAS IN HALLEY's COMETS TAIL
Carbon Monoxide Strongest Constitu-
ent, Says DR.. Lowell.

Flagstaff, Ariz., June u.-Following his
recent statement that astronomical investl-
cations carried on by him here had devel-
oped hypotheses antagonistic to the former
theory as to the composition of comets
tails, Dr., Percival Lowell head OF Lowell
Observatory, issued a supplemental bulletin
last night in which he says that carbon
monoxids is the strongest constituent in
the appendsge of HaIley's wanderer. He
says:
Lowell Observatory spectograms indicate
that the strongest and hitherto unidentified
spectral bands in the tail of Halleys comet
coincide with the spectral bands OF carbon
monoxide found by Fowler for that gas
under very low pressure In the laboratory.
Just such a condition of low pressure
must exist in a comets tail, and therefore
II is by these bands that carbon monoxide
would reveal it's presence. This spectrum
of the gas is shown by gentle electric dis
charges taking place under pressure of
about 1-1o0,0no OF an atmosphere

F0RpHAM GIVES DEGREES
Bar More Potent than Press, Mc.
Adoo Tells Law Graduates.

The third annual commencement of the
Fordham University Law School was held
IN the theatre OF the university at Fordham
yesterday afternoon Thirty-two young
men received the degree OF Bachelor of
Laws. Two OF them. William Hayes and
Arthur D. Fisher, graduated summa cum
lsude William McAdoo, former Police
Commissioner. delivered the address TO the
graduates. speaking at length on lawyers
and newspaper men. Regarding the former
he said:
4 am against the prostitution OF the
profession which places II in a position
which would lead the public mind TO as
sumo that Il was an enemy of the public
conscience. The legal profession runs
counter to the public conscience by its pro-
fessionsi conservatism. This is unfortu-
nate, and II not arrested viii endanger the
whole fabric Of government and society.
II believe that for one judge who is
sprerved by political or other influences
there are one hundred who could not be
swerved from administering justice as the
laws allow them and their consciences die
tate.
The bar to-day has more influence than
the press. We are told In the newspapers
that public speaking has gone into disuse:
on the contrary. the influence Of the public
speaker is far in excess Of the press.
Mr. McAdoo went on TO say that the
waning power of the press was due 70 what
he called its impersonality- People, he
said. would be more Interested II they knew
who wrote the leading articles. In his
opinion. the press was more potent IN the
DAYS Of Greeley. Dana and Raymond.
The Rev Daniel !. Quinn, president OF
the university. congratulated the grad
uating class and declared that the school
would never be comnlercialized.
Paul Fuller. LII p. dean of the Law
School. conferred the degrees. Many mem
bers Of the judiciary and legal profession
were present. including Supreme Court
Justice Peter A Hendrick, ex-Corpcration
Counsel John ! Delany and George Gordon
Battle. former Assistant District Attorney.
