LOSES PRECIOUS RADIuM.
English Doctor Throws $500 Worth
of Metal Into Fire.
Foreign Correspondence of The Star.


LONDON, October ., 1912
From Birmingham it is stated that a
doctor lost five hundred dollars worth of
radium by throwing it into a fire among
bandages. It is further said that a
chemist promised to recover it from the
ashes.
This is by no means the first time that
the precious metal has been lost and re-
covered. The metal itself has never been
seen, excepting in Nine. Curie's crystal
tubes. What is known as ''radium' is
a radium salt. either radium bromide or
radium chloride. or even radium sui
plate. Tiny grains of these salts are
extremely precious, and are usually
sealed up in little glass bulbs. Nova
days some of these glass bulbs are used
for treating skin diseases, but as rule
their contents are spread over cloth or
other surfaces and fitted on to "appli-
Gators.
When one Of the first little glass bulbs
was received in London it had a curious
history. A physician in Portland place
was applying 1t to a patient when he in.

later crushed it under sis foot The car:

DEAD IN GAS-FILLED ROOM.
Isaac E. Lee, Victim, Had Invented
Patent Cheese Cutter.

Isaac Edward Lee, about forty years
old. was found dead today in a gas-filIed
room at GIG 1 street northwest a boarding
house. The single window in the small
room was tightly closed and the tip OF
the jet had been removed, allowing the
gas to escape freely. Coroner hewitt will
investigate later today.
Lee had been residing at the address
stated for about six weeks. Mrs Bessie
NJ. Balm, in charge of the house told the
police she knew nothing of him further
than that he had spoken Of having trou-
bic with his wife. Lee had 90 cents in
his pocket and was in arrears s14 in his
board bill, according TO the police. No
note was found, but mail addressed to the
dead man by a local patent attorney
showed that he was interested in getting
patent on a cheese cutter. Letters of re-
cent date also were found addressed to
him at Broadway. Va, and Hagerstown.
Nd.
Mrs. Balm noticed the odor of gas
shortly before noon and notified the no.
lice. Bicycle Patrolman Mansfield re-
spOnded. Lee was last seen yesterday
morning entering his room, and it is
thought he had been dead for some time
when the body was found.

Tragic Sequel to Fall of Piece of

rWt'sn correspondence or The star.
PARIS. October 3, 1912.
An accident without parallel occurred
recently at the Austerlitz station of the
Orleans line, i'm the heart of Paris. Two
trains were due almost at the same mo-
ment. the first being a local train from
Juvisy, driven by electric power. The
platform WAS filled with dozen hand
trucks. piled with heavy luggage, known
by the name of devils" One piece was
top-heavy, and on being shaken by the
vibration OF the incoming train IL spon-
taneously rolled over the edge. just in
front of the engine. which sent II flying.
like a projectile. with terrific force, into
the middle of the other trucks, round
which had gathered a group Of porters.
The various articles were sent flying in
all directions. and the men, seized with
panic, dashed into the six-foot way
the opposite side Of the platform. with
out noticing the Toulouse express coming
in. The engine caught one man and cut
him completely I'm two. and injured seven
others more or less severely. Fortunate
ly speed had been much reduced. though
trains are accustomed to arrive at this
station at considerable pace stopping
only briefly before proceeding to the ter
minus. a few minutes farther on.

DENEEN M|X-UP
MARKS ACR|S|S

CHICAGO. ILL.,. October t14.-Far and
away the most important political de-
velopment OF the hour; is the, open and
lS:cious break between Roosevelt and
Gov. Deneen of this state. 1t is freighted
with possibilities of untold benefit to Taft
and to the republican state ticket 1t

permits a ray of sunshine to penetrate

You understand, Of course that CIV.
Deneen was one of the supporters OF
Roosevelt in his contest for the nomina-
ton before the regular republican con-
vention. Gov. Deneen refused to follow
Roosevelt. in his bolt, it is true. but a,
the same time the state organization with
which he is affiliated has not turned a
hand to help Taft up to this time.
Saturday Roosevelt issued a statement
cOntradicting 'Deneen's claim that Roos =
welt wanted to limit the contested dele
gate cases : to thirty.four in number.
Roosevelt Called Deneen a wiuful and mis-
chievous liar and all that sort of thing
the usual line OF denunciation with which
every one is familiar. Thereupon Deneen
came back with reiteration Of the
charges. and there you are. VT
pretty quarrel as 1t stands
Hardly had the breach been effected
than the state organization began to
put its house in order to swing its in
fiuence to Taft. AT. once word was pass
ed around to the county committee to
have the organization men on hand Mon
day night to support Harlan and Bede
in their reply to Roosevelt.
The support Of the powerful state or
