Prof. See Announces
Evolution of New
Science Of Cosmogony
Government Astronomer at Mare
Island Has New Theory of Gre
alton of the Planets.

PHIIAA DELPHTA, April 2i.--Discoveries
In cosmical evolution leading to the do
velopment of an entirely new science the
science Of cosmogony, were announced to-
day to the American Philosophical society
at Its annual meeting by Prof. T. J. J, See.
government astronomer In charge of the
naval observatory at Mare Island, Cal,
who said he had Travelled 1900 miles to
give eastern men of science a first hand
account OF his recent discoveries, which.
he stated, have aroused interest in learned
circles throughout the world.
Among the results announced today was
a link in the chain or reasoning establish
ing the laws of evolution of the solar
system, showing that the planets originally
were small bodies forming at a great dis
tance from the sun and that their masses
have been increased by gathering up all
manner of lesser bodies from meteorites
to satellites. Collisions in this nebular re-
ssting medium have reduced the size of
the original orbits immensely and made
them such exact circles that the Greeks
believed the Deity had set the planets
revolving in round orbits because the circle
is a perfect figure. These collisions which
have rounded up the planetary orbits and
brought the satellites nearer their several
planets have also indented the face Of
the moon and given rise to large craters
which were formerly believed to be vol
canic, but are now proved 70 be due to
the Impact of satellites against the lunar
surface.
Prof See laid especial stress on the
proof now deduced that planetary systems
similar to our own revolve about all the
fixed stars and that these planets are hab-
table and Inhabited like our planets which
revolve about the sun. He said life was
perfectly general phenomenon in the uni
verse and that living beings exist wherever
q star twinkles in the depths of space.

Report of Support Annoyed Taft,


Washington, June 9.-The widely
published report that Colonel Roose
welt, at Baltimore on Tuesday, pledged
his support to President Taft for re
nomination next year, has become g
source OF much annoyance to the DC
cupant of the White House.
Colonel Roosevelt, in addition to lie
nying the report, vigorously, in Spring

gram to a friend in Washington:
THE statement that l have pledsed
myself to any one for the nomination
is absolutely false. l have neit4er
done so nor even discussed doing so
The story is made out Of whole clot. "
At the White House it was said tat
neither President Taft nor his seere-
tary, Charles u. HiIles, had authorized
such a statement. In tact, it was wi
dent that the publication Of the warn
was a source Of considerable embtr-
rassment Ia President Taft and lis

Saw Ruin In Competition.

ST believe that if unrestricted and
unrestrained destructive competition
had continued the Illinois Steel com
pany would have been driven out oil
business. am inclined to believe that
II the former management had con
tinued in control the Carnegie Stee
company would have driven entirely
out of business every steel company
doing business in the United States
That is the opinion of many people
who know the facts
Mr.. Gary denied any knowledge Of
any agreement in the steel industry
whereby business territory was appor
toned and violators of the agreemen
punished He said subordinate com
panies of the Steel Corporation might
have done things of which the parent
company disapproved, but that suct
things always were corrected.
"The condition of our employees,
he said, always has been uppermost
in our minds, and we have always
kept wages high. We have refused tc
UCCTcdSS wages WuSu Jul
did and we have spent millions to i'm
prove the working conditions of oul
men and the sanitary conditions Of
the plants"
Mr.. Gary denied specifically that the
Steel Corporation had ever been of
fered or had accepted rebates from
the railroads. He submitted copy OF
a letter he addressed in 1905 to the
presidents of all the leading railroad
caut1oning them against giving rebates
to any officers or agents of the Stee
Corporation.
1--WE never overlooked the interests
of our stockholders" he said, and
don't believe we would still be trustees
of the Steel Corporation if We had
made a loan of s30,000,000 on the
stock of the Tennessee Coal and Iror
company without taking over the prop
erty and attempting to improve it anc
work it up to paying basis"
