A SHINING CORNISH METAL.

There is legend among the peas
ants of Cornwall in England that at
night there may be observed faint
ly shining mineral among the rocks
brought from the mines. That this
is not pure fancy has been proved
by Professor Strut. A specimen of
the mineral autunite, which is also
found in Wales, was sent to him
from Portugal because of its lumi-
Mostly. He finds that it closely re-
sembles artifcially prepared salts
of uranium and that its luminosity
is due to spontaneous radio-activity.
The light it sheds is stronger than
that of nitrate Of uranium. Upon
parting with its water of crystalline
ton the mineral loses its luminous
property.

STONE BEGINS WAR ON
FOLK AS CANDIDATE
Tells Missourians That Speaker Clark
Should Be the Presidential
Nominee.

st. Louis, Dec. 30.-United States Sen.
ator w J. Stone of Missouri aroused
much interest among politicians on his
arrival here this week by giving out a
statement containing his seven reasons
why Speaker Champ Clark should be the
nominee for the presidency. Yesterday
certain Democratic leaders were out with
statements assailing Mr.. Stone for his
course and fight for the state delega-
ton to the Democratic national con-
vention is going on in st. Louis.
The fight arises from the fact that the
Democratic nominees convention in 1910,
of which Speaker Clark was chairman,
indorsed Joseph w. Folk, former gov
ernor. as Missouri's choice for the presi-
deney.
Neither Clark nor Folk has had any
thing to say about their candidates., but
their friends have carried on war Of
words, and the contest became warm
with the presence of both Clark and
Stone here this week. The speaker did
not call on Folk and Folk did not visit
him.
The speakers friends take the ground

Folk is not binding and that the vot-
ers. in the end. should decide who is
the choice of Missouri Democrats, but

ment yesterday announcing that lie
wouldn't have anything to say concern
ing the tariff or anything else until next
week, and that in the meantime he
would rather not discuss politics and pol
icies The majority leader, who is anx-
ious to see the House get to work as
soon as possible on the iron and steel
schedule, which, as he announced Thurs
day, will be the first tariff revision to
be tackled at this session, is going to
devote the next four or five days to
studying the tariff boards synopsis OF

ready to drop into the hopper.
The measure has been completed, and
IL is only necessary for the ways and

do next week very soon after Congress
reconvenes on Jan g.
Members Of Congress who remained in
town during the holidays are much in
terested in the Democratic tariff pro-
gramme as announced Thursday by Mr..
Underwood. Ii is considered as assured
from his declaration that the iron and
steel. chemical and sugar schedules will
will be revised before consideration Of
wool and cotton; that the tariff board
isn't going to receive much notice at
the hands of the Democrats, and that
the tariff will be the one big issue of

which many pin their hopes as side

as a presidential candidate, even if he
does come from Alabama"

HEADQUARTERS TO Be OPENED

New York, Dec. 9o.-It was reported
here yesterday that President Taft
would soon ask Otto T. Barnard of this
city to accept an important position in
connection with the campaign leading
up to the Republican national conven-
tion, In the event that Mr.. Taft is
nominated at Chicago next June, it was
said, Mr. Barnard, If he takes part in
tine preliminary campaign, might con-
tinue as one Of the principal advisers
TO the president until the votes are cast
in November.
President Taft has been urged for
some time by Republican leaders to take
a deeper interest in the pre-convention
campaign. They have pointed out the
activities Of friends and political sup
porters of Senator La Toilette and the
widening movement for the nomination
al Colonel Theodore Roosevelt. and at
last it is said that the president has
consented that a Taft headquarters be
opened in Washington at an early date.
J Whether Mr.. Barnard will take charge
of the headquarters may depend upon
the conference to be held in Washing
ton the early part Of next week, in
which the president, Mr., Barnard and
Secretary Hilles will participate. The
pressure Of political business at the
White House has been increasing stead.
ily since the meeting of the Republican
national committee in Washington, Dec.
II. Mr.. Hilles has had to take care
Of most of the political callers, and il
is said that the opening OF a headquar-
tiers has become necessary TO divert the
flow Of visitors from all sections Of the
country.
There still exists the belief in politi-
cal circles here that Secretary Hilles viii
be called upon 10 direct the campaign
for Mr. Taft in the event of the latter's
nomination, but there has been no def
mite decision 10 that effect. Nor is it
az all certain that Mr.. Hilles may not
take charge Of the Taft headquarters
during the preliminary campaign. Much
win depend upon the conferences Of next
week. Mr. Barnard win accompany
President Taft back to Washington on
Saturday night, following the peace din
ner in this city, and viii spend New
Years day at the White House. It is
said that the proposition to Mr.. Ban.
uard 10 vim the Taft forces then viii

lican candidate for mayor in the last
city election and long has been promi-
nent in the political affairs Of New York

to learn the preference of Oklahoma for
candidate for president on the Demo
cratic ticket. He reiterated that Presi-
dent Taft would be the last "standpat"
president. He again said the failure
Of the Republican party to make good
its party pledges has caused silent
political revolution throughout the eoun-
try and that the Democratic Congress
had faithfully carried out the promises
Of the Democrats, who now presented a
united front.
Rumors have been circulated in Okla

which opposition to the transfer has
arisen. The Rutland purchase by the

self have to be ratified by the New York

ABBUSE OF HORSES
SHOULD BE STOPPED

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
An old reader Of The Times would ask
The Times to suggest some way where
horses would have better treatment at
the hands of the driver when unloading
a load of gravel, brick. and sand.
For the past three or four years l
have noticed that they make the horses
pull loads Of gravel. sand. and brick
over piles and piles Of sand or gravel,
and they are whipped and dashed till
they get hight over the piles. They are
worn out with their first load in that
way, then have to pull and haul all day
long until or at night, or even II 1t
is only till 6, and perhaps most all day
without water, as some of those CUlored
drivers are too lazy to water their
horses, and they should be made to feed
them to be able to haul such loads.
l have seen horses here that were too
weak to pull the load and get whipped
every step for blocks. They don't seem
to pay any attention to the signs. BE
Kind to Your Horses" l have actually
seen the boss take the whip out OF the
drivers hand and whip the horses

been In that allows such cruelty to
horses, especially those that draw loads
over piles of sand and gravel. l think
If some of the merchants, bakers, ana
others that own teams would see tnelr
drivers when out of sight they would
not allow them to drive their horses.
Again, how many times I have seen
horses slip and almost fall when they
drive around corners of streets. The
driver doesn't give them time to get
around the corner, but drives them over
the curb stone. Drivers that are found
living down on their wagons trying to
SLEEP should be arrested. They should
sit up, sleep or not. That Is no way
of driving, but 1 have seen 1t right In
