it is learned, these chemists have sue
ceeded In producing large sized crystals
from carborundum which are very close
to the natural stone. The crystals are
as cOlorless and transparent as the
natural diamond and have even greater
luster and refractive power. But the
crystals have one defect that bars them
from use in tewelry-although the rem
edying of it may be near at hand. They
are so brittle that they cannot be cut
and polished like natural diamonds. They
fly to pieces when they are put on the

A new field for the jewelers. chemist
has also been found within the past few
months in the manufacture of artificial
coral Genuine coral has become so dear
that the chemists began experimenting
early last fall to produce the product
artificially. It is now announced that
their efforts have been successful and the
synthetic product is guaranteed to be

finest japanese pink coral, but also to
have the same weight, feel" and temper

claims to have advices to the effect that
all the northern Chinese troops stationed
at Canton have mutinied because they
are dissatisfied over the action Of the
prince regent in proclaiming himself COM
mander-in-chief Of the army. The paper
states that Europeans at Canton are
fleeing toward Hongkong.
London banks having business connec-

is suffering from hardening of the
blood vessels and also other troubles.
1T was explained by the court that if
and enter a new recogniZance it would
save the necessity of issuing a capias,
as the court did not desire to do same.
Declares Condition Serious.
DR.. Freeman then took the stand and
told the court that the condition of
Rixey is serious. He explained that
Rixey is suffering from hardening OF
the liver, slight hemorrhage and soft
ening of the brain, the latter liable to
produce paralysis. While DIR. Freeman
would not state absolutely that his ILL
ness would result fatally, he was of
the opinion it would be dangerous at
this time to bring Rixey here. Rixey
in his opinion, needs long rest.
The court asked if rest would result
in Rixey being in better physical condi-
thought he would improve, and such
would be the only chance he has Of i'm
proving. The rest needed, in his opinion,
would be- several months.
DR.. Freeman declared that he saw
Rixey December IA, last, which was be-
fore the collapse of the bank. and that
Rixey was then in critical condition.

He thought that coming over to Alex

accused to undergo and he added that
Drs. Thayer. Thomas and himself thought
the strain would be dangerous. Com
monwealth's Attorney Brent asked if it
was not a fact that RiXey recently went
to Baltimore.
The physician replied in the affirmative.
but added that when he returned he ap-
peared greatly upset. He thought 1t the
result of general breakdown.
do you know whether Rixey's condi-
ton is due to financial troubles?" asked
Commonwealth Attorney Brent Of the
physician. The latter was unable to say.
Attorney Jeffries thought Rixey should
be given an opportunity to- renew bail.
The court added that it had given the
could not see what other action could
be taken than the forfeiture of bail. Law
on the subject was then read to the court
by Attorney Jeffries, who afterward add
ed that Rixey's counsel was willing to do
anything reasonable.
The court stated that 1t was unable
to see whether or not Rixey would be
any better in six months or six years
hence than he is today. In conclusion,
the court added that it would issue the
rule returnable April 81 and if Rixey is
produced in court he would dismiss the
rule and set the forfeitures aside.
Nine Indictments Pending.
Nine indictments are pending against
Rixey in connection with the collapse of
the Virginia Safe Deposit and Trust Cor
poration, which institution went into the
hands OF receivers December % last.
The indictments were returned by a
grand jury following a lengthy investi-
cation which was concluded last Febru-
ary Rixey's trial has been postponed
from time to dme owing to his illness.

DISTRICT IN SENATE
Mr.. GaIIinger Reintroduces the
G. w. u. Benefit Bill.
MORRILL, ACTS
Bills Changing Name of Street and
Southeast Circle Are Also
Reintroduced.

Senator Gallinger. chairman of the
Senate District committee. made good to-
day his promise to the alumni of
George Washington University Saturday
night. AS beginning of the fight he
will make in Congress for the institution,
he reintroduced for this session his bill
extending the benefits of the Morrill, land
acts to the District of Columbia, and
naming the George Washington Univer-
sity as the beneficiary.
The bill is the same, in it's provisions,
as that which last Congress was recon-
mended for passage by the Senate COM
mittee on agriculture. That committee,
in urging the bill for the favorable action
of the Senate, declared that there seem
ed to be no good reason why the District
Of Columbia should not be considered on
a par with the states and territories and
with Porto Rico and Hawaii, so far as
the terms and benefits of the Morrill, acts
are concerned, and pointed out that the
milton III its quasi-territorial form of
government had not been changed by
Congress-"
The committee also thought the George
Washington University was the proper
institution in the District to get the bene-
fits under the Morrill, acts. The uni
versity was found to be non-sectarian,
and to have developed many courses
which meet the requirements of the Nor
rlll acts.
