Would Withdraw Radium Lands.
BY Associated Press1

10y <ASopNiaNtu ItSSI
Washington, Dec. 30. - Secretary
Lane today urged the House Mines
Committee to submit joint resolution
to empower the President to withdraw
all public lands containing radium.
Secretary Lane said spectators might
get control if this is not done. He
asserted one person in every ten over
fifty years old in the United States
has cancer and that the radium sup
ply in the United States totals only
two grams, valued at one hundred and
twenty thousand dollars per gram, and
both were obtained from Europe at
whatever price practical radium
monopoly there wishes to charge, not
withstanding that three-fourths of the
worlds entire radium supply in 1912
came from American ores. Secretary
Lane said the process of extracting
radium was secret, but that chemists
of the United States Bureau of Mines
have discovered a process of their
own. and If it proves successful it will
be given freely to the world The
United States Government, he said
will retain most OF the radium pro-
duced in this country. putting it into
the public health officials hands for
public use.

Cleaning Up at In=
dianapolis, Indiana.

Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 24-Super
intendent of Police Martin Hyland and
William Z. Davis, president of the
Board of Safety, resigned. today, when
81 policemen charged with insubordi-
nation were acquitted by the Board
of Safety. Both designations were ac-
cepted by Mayor Shank. The patrol
men We're alleged to have refused to
ride on street cars during the strike of
the street railway employees here. a
few weeks ago.
Capt. George C. Coffin was appoint
ed superintendent of police, but re-
fused to accept the position, saying
that when the administration change,
on Jan. /, 1914, he would have to re-
sign. This would reduce him to the
ranks as a patroman.
BY remaining as a captain the
change in the city administration will
not affect his rank.
After Collins refusal to become SUI
perintendent, Mayor Shank announced
that he would name as chief of po-
lice the men selected by Mayor Elect
Bell, if Mr.. Bell would say whom he
intends to appoint when he assumes
charge of the administration. Mr.. Bell
has not replied to the offer.
At the trial of the patrolmen, the
men testified that Supt. Hyland had
countermanded orders to ride upon the
street cars during the strike, had call
ed for volunteers and that none of
the men would willingly do such duty
to protect strikebreakers. All the
officers declared, however, that they
would have ridden On the cars to
protect citizens.
After the policemen had been ae-
! quilted, Mayor Shank addressed them
and said that he did not blame them
for refusing to ride on the streets cars
to protect strikebreakers. He declar-
/ ed if the threatened transfers strike
| is called he did not wish the patrol
| men to ride upon the wagons to pro-
/ teet strikebreakers.

, as they had drawn out their needles
! and set to work, Maude noticed new
| face among the passengers.
Look at that girl with the black
fnrs and velvet hat" she whispered,
Hasn't she the incest face?"
-Four pairs of eyes were directed to-
ward the girl in question.
she isn't only pretty, she has
beautiful face, ! think said Sadie
And / can tell you why it's beautiful,
too. It's because she's happy. I've
been thinking a lot about that lately
and looking at people, and Eve de-
cided that if a person is very happy
she is apt to be good-looking. II
every one would try a little harder to
be cheerful the human race would get
handsome"
"Oh, you make me tired" said Jen-
ME. People can't be happy all the
time, and I'm just sick of having peo-
pie keep talking about it. What have
/ got to make me so everlastingly
happy, I'd like to know? OF course I
am perfectly well, and | have enough
to eat and wear, but | work all day
long and am dead tired every night,
anu i uou ste WHY Should De SO
awfuIly happy. It's different with
that girl over there with the furs and
a velvet hat You can see by look
ing at her that she doesn't have to dip
chocolates all day long, like / do. She
ought to be happy"
The train stopped and the girls put
away their work and started out into
the aisle.
"Oh. look whispered Maude, and
the others. turning. saw the girl in vel
vet and furs draw a crutcn from un-
der her seat and limp out into the
aisle. Her face had grown white and
drawn with the pain of walking. and
her breath came in short gasps.
1t was Jennie that helped the girl
off the train, and walked along with
her, before joining the crocheters
again on the ferry. Then she stood
and kicked the side of the boat before
speaking.
She goes in to sing to crippled
Children she finally blurted out. She
can never be any better. Her nurse
dropped her when she was baby
She told me she was very happy be-
cause the crippled children always
looked forward to seeing her. She
makes me feel pretty small" And
with a last embarrassed kick at the
side of the boat, Jennie set out to dip
chocolates.
