SAYS EARTH IS WABBLING ON ITS AXIS

~~-~~~-~-~~-~~~
the charted pole today it will prob
ably be thirty or forty feet on the
other side seven months hence
Latitudes Are Slipping.
A technical explanation OF how as
tronomers have proven this would
throw a layman into commissions. In
a few words. however, the observer
through two separate telescopes,
watches the apparent movements Of
stars billions of miles distant. He
selects a few whose positions have
/ been we'll established and which may
| be seen through his instruments by
day as well as by night. Day after
/ day, week after week and year after
year he observes the latitude of his
/ observatory. Instead of following
straight paths the stars appear to
stagger across a set line and back
again. These changes represent eth
er strange movements in the stars or
changes in our latitude. These stars
are. to all intents and purposes, sta
tionary, therefore the upright posi-
ton of the earth must be changing,
Vega, one of the harp constellation,
Is the star most observed. Astrono-
mers agree that the earth is rushing
toward Vega, and that in something
like a billion years it will either
crash into or pass very closely to it.
Our discoveries have caused many
speculations. We know
that the South Pole is making SINH
lar migrations to those of the North |
Pole Some time the pole may in
crease its oscillations so that instead |
of having an orbit of a few feet it |
will have an orbit of many miles. |
Then the earth will tilt over until the |
North Pole slips down to our zone
of latitude with regard to the sun.
Evidence found in the Arctics show
that at one time tropical vegetation
abounded in these regions. Should
the Arctics again come to their own
and claim the tropical rays Of the
sun things about Washington will
have a grand moving time or a cold
freeze out.
What Might Happen.
If Dame Nature should turn
.hings over and send the North Pole
o Washington latitude just think
If what would happen. We might
nave to wait six months for day
Freak, and day once beginning would
asst six months. The railroads would
Ill be buried in snow, the rivers and
,cean frozen. The people would rush
rom the darkness to new temperate
ones, and on arriving there find a
asst domain of rocks covered with
netting ice or polar regions that had
'een.
Brother scientists Of mine have
redicted that he earth will cease its
citations and always remain with one
ide toward the sun Many have cited
he oscillations of the poles of the
arth as an evidence that the earth
5 slackening its speed. Finally, II
his is true, the earth will cease It's
citations and lie with one side to the
un. Unending night would freeze
p one-half of the earth and the ter
ific glare of the sun would be a zone
f but few miles in width, which
yould be habitable.
Two do not want to scare the
uman race with such predictions as
hese, for although there is continu-
us change in the positions of the
oles they have travelled but about
90 feet from their original positions
n as many years.

PRES. WILSON
 OPENS SHOW
President Presses Button and Annual
 Fort WOrti, Event Begins.

Fort Worth, Texas, March 11-When President Woodrow Wilson opened the 1913 Fort Worth Horse Show and Ma tional Feeders and Breeders, Associa- tion fat stock show by pressing a but ton in Washington, the greatest eXhibi tion of fine horses ever seen in the South began.
 Promptly at s o'clock the lights in the vast auditorium flashed on, and immediately the changing of bells min- gled with the plaudts of thousands of spectators and a great American flag spread across the bandstand fell, re- vealing the picture of Woodrow Wilson Although not present in person his magnetism seemed to permeate the at mosphere, and campaign yells rent the air and when the band played "Dixie" the croYd went wild.
 Although GoveF Fnor Colquitt was un- able to be present., Mrs. Colquitt and daughter. Miss Mary, occupied box and were given an ovation when rec ognized.

WILSON SMASHES
 ALL PRECEDENTS
PAYS HIS WAY TO WASHINGTON THEATRES AND GOES AS PRI-
 VATE CITIZEN.
Also Wears Grey Suit Instead of Con- yenti0nal Fr0ck Coat and striped
 Trousers.

Washington, March 11.-As a prece- dent smasher, Woodrow Wilson has had few presidential equals. Last day he destroyed utterly the fiction that has prevailed that presidents and their families are non-paying guests at Washington theatres and paid 40 good dollars for the box he occupied at the Belasco theatre for a benefit perfor- nance for the Florence Crittenden Mission
 In former administrations the local theatres have been only too eager to entertain the presidential parties gratis. But President Wilson has in dicated his intention to attend plays as a private citizen, paying his own way and without the band playing the national air and the audience rising tC do him honor.
 The other innovation is thoroughly startling to the Beau 'Bremmel of offl- cial Washington. Instead of the black frock coat and striped trousers the ac- cepted garb of presidents for time immemorial President Wilson is dap ner and unconventional in a sack grey suit
 It was in this unconventional garI for statesman that he received the am bassadors and ministers from foreign countries when they called to pay theh respects today. The president formed striking contrast to the envoys, Whe were all in conventional black.

 Bodies May Be Exhnmed.

It is very probable that the bodies of Luttrell and the negro Derrick will be disinterred and another inVestiga- tion conducted, for the purpose of dis covering whether or not the skulls are crushed. Sheriff Brewster stated last night that he is very much in ia vor of this and that it was his opin- ion that this was the proper way to get at the bottom of the affair.
 There is no doubt in my mind," said that official last night, but what Manning is the murderer of the three men, Luttrell, Sommers and Derrick. 1 believe that the few conflicting statements he makes are made pur- posely and that he is cunning enough to try to evade the punishment which is justly due him by feisning insan. ity.''

DR, FREEDMAN TOUCHED
 BY PLEA OF SICK GIRL
YOUNG VICTIM OF WHITE PLAGUE TRAVELLED POO MILES FOR
 TREATMENT.
Fifty Physicians Attend Clinic In MOn- treal-Thirty Persons Receive
 Treatment.

Montreal March. 11.-Dr. Frederick Franz Friedman left here tonight for Ottawa after having spent highly successful day. according to those who witnessed the clinical demonstration of his treatments for the cure of tuber- culosis. Thirty patients, including men, women and children, received the injections of the serum in the pres ence of 90 physicians at the Royal Edward Institute for Tuberculosis Newspaper men and the public were excluded.
 One of the patients was Marie Ram cour, 16-year-old girl, who came here from her home in the Canadian wilds, 200 miles north of here to re- ceive the treatment. Both the father and the mother of the girl died, vic- tims of the White Plague. The marks of the disease showed so plainly upon the girls features and her appeal was so pathetic that Dr. F'riendmann was IOuCIcu I1c CdlCIulAy cAdulluCu llC girl and although it was evident that she was in the advanced stages of the disease, he readily agreed to treat her among the first patients.
 All of the physicians present at the clinic expressed strong hope for ulti- mate results from the treatment ad- ministered today but said they would have to withhold their judgment until the outcome of the experiment.

CONSIDER TARIFF
 REVISION ONLY Pres. Wilson Will Not h. ciude Other Legislation in
 Call for Session.
ADVISED BY LEADERS
Say 1t Would Be III Advised to Con. >ider Currency Legislation
 ai This Time.

Washington, March 1l-president Wilson will recommend tariff legis- lation only in his special message converting the house in special ses- sion. This proclamation is expected within a few days, as ten days notice is required
 While still at Trenton and before becoming president he announced that the special session would be called not later than April l. Presi- dent Wilson has given no public statement that he intended to post pone the date Tor conVening the house, but there are rumors in con- gressional circles that the proclama- tion will fix the date at April 8 or April lo.
 Members of the Ways and Means Committee announce today that they can be ready with their tariff legis- lation by March 20. Chairman Under- wood wants the speediest possible ac- tion on the tariff revision. In this he is joined by the members of his com mittee.
 The president, according to Repre- who will be chairman of the House Banking and Currency Committee, considers reform in the monetary as necessary almost, as reforms i'll the tariff laws. MT. Glass gives no hint of the president s ideas of a new cur rency plan.
 Influential tariff leaders have told the president recently that they con- sidered as iIl-advsed any effort by him to force currency legislation at the special session of congress and that financial reforms should go over to the regular session. They argue that the attention of the country should be centered on each of these reforms separately in order tnat the best re- suits might be obtained. It is contended that each of these matters of legislation emphasize the great issues between the parties and on the successful popular solution of each will depend the political for tunes of the Democrats in the House when they come up for election. in 1914.

SEEK TO PETITION
 KING OF ENGLAND
English Suifragettes Fail and Barely
 Escape Being MObbed.

London, March 11.--While King George and Queen Mary were on their way to Westminster for the opening of Parliament, five women attempted to approach his majesty in Historic Whitehall. They carried petitions set ting forth the grievances of women Police promptly arrested the women and immediately imprisoned them, al- though it looked for a while as if the crowd would overwhelm the police and administer punishment in summary fashion.
 There was a notable demonstration of hostility against the suffragettes by the vast throng gathered to see the royal procession. The five women re- qured the protection of hundred po- licemen to keep back the mob which was exasperated by the recent trag- edies by the militants.
 Crowd Demands Women.
 Two other suffragettes were arrest ed in the vicinity of Marlborough house and escaped rough handling only through the energetic efforts of the police.
 After the foregoing petition had been read by Mrs. Emmaline Pankhurst at meeting of the militant suffragettes this evening, Miss Annie Kenny pro- claimed that as there was nothing in the Kings speech about suffrage, 'the only thing to do is to renew our mi litancy.'

SEEK EVIDENCE
 0F FOUL PLAY Bodies of Men Negro Con fessed to Killing May
 Be Disinterred.
RECORDS GIVE PROOF
Records at II. l. H0ldcrnrsS Morgut Evidence That Luttreirs Head
 Was Crushed.

EVldence or most cOnNlttillS nd- ture was secured yesterday afternoon by Sheriff Edgar Brewster in his in vestigation of the circumstances sur rounding the death of the three men within the last year and a half and the confession of the negro Eugene Manning to the murder of the men, and from this evidence it would ap- pear that in one case at least, the nc gro has told the absolute truth and is at least guilty of the murder of Bob Luttrell. on the night of December 21 :, 1911.
 LutrelFs Head Was Crushed.
 Investigation of the morgue records at the undertaking establishment of II. l. Hoderness, at winch the body of Iuttrell was embalmed brought out the fact that a cave-in was mo- ticeable at the top of the forehead, and that this crush was apparently caused by heavy blow on the head with some blunt instrument. The re- cord shows that the crush or cave-in was located just at the end of the scalp and was hidden by the hair. MT. Holderness, upon reading the record, stated yesterday that he remembered the mark and talked to several of his employees concerning it. He stated that it was at least a quarter of an inch deep. Howard Allen, who embalmed the body, stated that at the coroner's ln- quest held by Coroner Williams over the body of Luttrell, the cave-in was not noticed but after the embalming fluid was injected, the bruise imme- diately showed up and the crush was then most noticeable.
 Sister Noticed Abrasion.
 Miss Clara Luttrell, brother of the dead man, stated that Luttrell had no such mark on his body when he left home on the night of his death, and she called at the office of Sheriff Brewster yesterday to tell that offl- cial that at the time her brother was 1 killed, she suspected that he had met with foul play, as when his body was embalmed she noticed the cave-ln and spoke of it at the time.
 The body of the negro, George Der rick, who was killed on the night of April 27, 1912, was not discovered un- til about eight days after his death and was at that time in such a bad state of putrefaction that, according to employees in the undertaking es- tablishment of H. I. Holderness, Il was a most difficult matter to deter mine whether or not the negros head was crushed or whether or not he had met with foul play.
 The confession made by the black concerning the position in which ne left the two above bodies was zorro borated to a great extent by the state ment of Mir. Allen of the Holderness Undertaking establishment, who con yeyed them from the spot of their dls
