But / am willing at any time to go
anywhere l may be called to urge this
project" he said. Il will be glad to
appear and lay the situation before any
suitable body
In all of his statements concerning the
radium cancer treatment DR.. Kelly is
particular to emphasize the fact that ii
is not by any means a universal cure
and that nothing could be more dan
gerous and cruel than to build up false
hopes in the hearts of the thousands of
sufferers from the disease when so little
is known about the mineral and while its
possibilities are so limited.
In fact. DIR. Kelly has pointed out re-
peatedly that although he has hope tina,
radium will become an important factor
eventually in the treatment of cancer and
perhaps other diseases, he does not rely
upon ii now to cure cases which have
been running long time. For more OF
less superficial attacks, such as those
upon the nose, tongue or lips, he has
found radium quite efficacious.

BURNS SAYS PELKEY
WILL DEFEAT SMITH
Positive His Pupil Will Be Heavy
weight Champion of
the World.

NEW YORK, December a9.-James Cof-
froth, the San Francisco boxing pro-
moter has cabled to Paris asking Frank
Moran of Pittsburgh to return to this
country and meet the winner of the
twenty-round battle between Gunboat
Smith and Arthur Pelky, to be decided at
his club next Thursday afternoon. Cof-
froth has billed the Smith-Pelkey affair
as Il heavyweight championship event, in
asmuch as he considers that Jack John
son has been eliminated. If Moran re-
fuses the offer Coffroth says he will sub
Stitute Jess Willard.
The SmithPelkey bout is attracting
widespread attention, for the reason that
the men are generally regarded as the
best of the white hopes. Smith has de-
feated- Sam Langford. Willard. Moran,
Rode, Bombardier Wells. Jim Flynn and
others and is the favorite. Pelkey holds
the NcCarey belt as a result of the fight
with the late Luther Mccarthy in CAL
gary last May. Tommy Burns has been
teaching Pcikey how to box for more
than a year. and there is no doubt that
the latter has improved In discussing
the big bout Burns said the other day:
PeIkey to Prove Surprise.
"Pelkey will prove a surprise. He is as
big as Jeffries and is just as clever.
mink he Is harder hitter, and Smith
will be knocked out inside of fifteen
rounds. Pelkey is the most courageous
fellow l ever handled and he possesses
natural fighting ability. Smith is over
rated, judging from what l saw him do
with Willard and Moran. He is below
the mark in defensive tactics and | don't
believe he can stand much punishment
Pelkey is as hard as nails at 2lS pounds
and is remarkably Shifty considering his
bulk.
I'VE are not worrying at ALL" says
Jim Buckley, Smiths manager. 1.-The
Gunner is in fine shape and will win sure.
He has beaten everybody, so why
shouldn't he beat Pelkey? OF course any
thing is likely to happen in a fight of this
kind, SO / have not decided about the flu
ture. II the Gunner wins I'll take him
to France to meet Johnson, and if the lat
ter refuses to make match I'll go after
Langford and Carpenter
1t is expected that Smith and Pelkey
will draw a irty-thousand dollar gate.

Treatment Method Unusual.

The treatment of Mr.. Bremner's case
is unusual in that the radium is being
applied directly to the cancerous
growth, the eleven tubes containing it
being inserted in the missions that
were made Christmas day. This meth
cd is adopted because of the magni-
tude and severity of the growth. The
usual procedure is TO place the radium
tubes at some distance from the part
of the body affected.
DIR. Kelly says that the chief lesson
to be drawn from this case is that
the country should take immediate
steps to conserve it's radium supply
and that if this were done there would
be enough of the mineral to handle
this and all other similar cases
1T is a strong Indication of the need
of government control" Dr. Kelly said
for a supply of radium in public de-
pots. If Congress will sequestrate
radium- bearing land and prevent the
exploitation of it for the benefit of
private enterprise. as well as it's ex-
portation, it will be the one practical
and all-important step toward solving
the question:

NOT YET ASSURED
No Marked Change for the

Mr.. Bremner.
DR.. KELLY is ANXIOUS
TO AVOID FALSE HOPES
Declares Treatment Has Not Yet
Been Demonstrated to Be
Positive Cure.

BALTIMORE. December 29-There has
been no marked change for the better in
the condition of Representative Robert
G.. Bremner of New Jersey who is under
going the radium treatment for cancer
at DIR. Howard kely's sanatorium on the
most extensive scale ever attempted No
correct prediction as to the curative eff
fects of the treatment can be made for
three or possibly four weeks.
Owing to the malignant growth being
near the heart, Mr.. Bremners condition
is at all times critical, and as DR. Kelly
has observed in commenting upon the
case. the patients nerve alone has kept
him up.
1t is said that the 100000 worth of
radium being used In Mr. Bremncr' s
case is not only the largest in guam
tity and in monetary value ever used
in single instance, but also that the
case itself is the most severe that has
ever been subjected to the radium test
for this reason the case is attracting
national attention, and the interest of
surgical authorities, especially cancer
specialists, is centered upon ii.
