MAIN OBJECT OF LAW
TO BENEFIT CREDITORS
Mr.. Thomas Discusses Rule
Requiring Firms to Make An
nuaI Statements.

In answer to recent inquiries made Of
the Office of the corporation counsel OF
the District concerning the operation of
the law requiring the publication by bust
ness firms of annual statements, Corpora
ton Counsel f. II. Thomas today stated
that the law is one passed largely for the
benefit Of creditors or other persons in
terested. and that the municipality has
nothing to do with it's observance or en-
forcement.
Under the original statues OF the United
States relating to the District, business
firms generally were required to publish
annually. within twenty days from the
1st of January. statements as to their
financial condition. Failure to comply
with the law made all the trustees of a
company jointly and severally liable for
the then existing debts and all debts
that should be contracted before the re-
port was made.
Insurance Companies Excepted.
The provision Of the code of law of the
District adopted January l, 1902 relat-
ing to this subject, Mr.. Thomas points
out requires all business corporations or
ganzed in the District. except insurance
companies, to publish annual statements
in a newspaper of the District within
twenty days from the list of January.
This change in the law. making an ex-
ception of insurance companies, also pro-
vides a different penalty. which exempts
trustees from liability.
The penalty now in force Is that, If any
company fail to comply with the law any
creditor of the corporation or other per-
son interested may. by petition for man.
damus against the corporation and its
proper officers. compel such publication to
be made. and. in such case, the court
shall compel the corporation or the off,
GERS at fault to pay all the expenses of
the proceeding including counsel fees.

BEQUEATHED TO WIDOW
At Her Death 1t Is to Be Di-
vided Equally Between
Children.

NEW YORK, January i1.-Thc win of
Whitelav Reid has been filed in the
office of Surrogate Sawyer. at White
Plains. \. Y. With the exception of be-
quests amounting to about $4,000 and
the gift Of two parcels Of land to Mr..
Eeids son and daughter the entire es-
tate including the New York Tribune. is
left to Mrs. Reid who is namcds as the
sole executrix. without bond At her
death it is to he divided equally between
her children.
No mention is made of the valNe of the
estate. Henry w. Sackett of Sackett.
Chapman e Stevens. attorney for the
estate. declared that nothing on that
point will be given out until the property,
real and personal. owned by the late am
bassador to Great Britain has been ap-
praised.
Will Made in 1894.
Few wills dsposng of as large an es-
tate as that Mr. Reid is believed to have
left have been set down i'm fewer words.
The document, penned in the character
istic handwriting of the late diplomatist.
except for the signature of two witnesses,
covered three pages of library size letter
paper. 1t is dated November .. 1894.
After making provision for the comfort
and proper maintenance of his mother,
who has since died, Mr.. Reid directed
that his son. Ogden Mills Reid, should
receive fhe old Reid homestead and the
adjoinins lands. in Ohio, the death
of the testator's mother. To his daugh-
ter Miss Jean Reid who has since be;
come the wife of John Hubert Ward, he
left his country estate on the Upper st.
Regis Lake, in the Adirondacks.
To the Tribune fresh air fund, always
a favorite project of Mr. Reid the will
directs that $4,000 be paid. His niece.
Ella Spencer Reid Harrison, receives a
similar amount and his nephew, Robert
Everett Smith, 5000.
Will Succeed to Control.
At the time the will was drawn Mr..
Ogden Mills Reid was a small boy. but
at that time it was the intention of his
father that he should become the head Of
the Tribune, for the will directs that he
succeed to the control of the newspaper
should he display capacity and aptitude
for the work.
Ogden Mills Reid has been actively en-
gagged in the publication affairs of the
newspaper for several years, at first as
a member of the city staff and later as
managing editor, at the same time being
a director and officer of the Tribune AS
ISOLATION Prior to 1912 he was secretary.
Since January. 1912. he has been its
president and will continue as the head
of the corporation.

Telegraphy and Telephony.

ON the kindred subjects of biography
and telephony arc included two timely
papers, one by the eminent Italian in
ventor. Marconi. entitled 'Radio-teleg-
raphy,' in which some important expert

complishments of transoceanic wireless
and land and ship communication: the
other by Maj. George .. Squier of the
Signal Corps. L. s. ~, who writes on
multiplex telegraphy and telephony by
means of electric waves guided by wires.
Both the articles are illustrated by plates
and text figures.

experiments performed by him in study
ing the effect of invisible light rays in
photography. 4 feature of photographs
taken by the ultraviolet light is that
white appears black and black white. In
presenting this Prof Wood illustrates his
article with six reproductions of photo
graphs taken by visible and ultra violet
light which present oddly reversed lights
and shadows. Some of the photographs
were taken with quartz and silvered-
quartz lenses, which reproduce light rays
otherwise invisible to the eye. BY these
experiments and their results it is hoped
eventually to show by photography many

Restraint Thought Advisable.

Recent reports were that Big Tim was
improving and friends who recognized
him in the street believed he would be
in condition to attend the next session

BILE from which he is suffering led his
relatives to believe that a permanent ar
rangement for his physical restraint al

The action seems TO involve the prob
ability of special election for a repre-
sentative to succeed Mr.. sullivan in the

Paper on Astronomy.

Concerning astronomy J. A. Plaskett of
the Dominion Observatory, Ottawa Can
ada. has permitted the reprinting of an
article presented by him as an address
before the ROYAL Astronomical Society of
Canada, on some of the recent interesting
developments on this subject. He con-
siders the present time unique as to as
Economical progress, and feels that more
rapid advance has been made recently
than at any other time in history. Among
the significant indications of such a de-
velopment are the remarkable co-ordina-
ton and correlation of the different
sciences. The astronomer now employs
not only mathematics. but physics. chem
istry geophySics and geology, and the
possibility of the need TO apply biology
is even now impending.
After summing up the various aStro-
nomicai Investigations carried on by the
prominent men of this science during the
year Mr.. Plaskett mentions the immens-
ity Of the task set for the devotees of
astronomy to solve. the constitution of
the siderial universe, about which We
now know comparatively little, but he
comedies the possibility of an infinitely
greater knowledge If the work is as
steadily continued. as it has been, thus
far, so well carried on.
A topic of general concern in regard to
the legal divisions of time in the various
countries is in the form of a translation
of a French article by DR.. NJ. Philippot,
astronomer OF the royal observatory at
Belgium and offers considerable instruc-
tive information. Without becoming toe
technical, DIR. Philippots article dis
cusses time in general and also touches
on the relations of the time divisions in
different countries and zones, which be-
come more readily regulated as interna-
tional communication is extended ano

Used in Sterilization.

AS illustrating the practical uses of

from a quartz mercury-vapor lamp. The
application of this system for practical

Although it may seem strange. the chem

Joseph W. Richards of Lehign Univer-
sity has written an article on What
Electro-chemistry Is Accomplishing, in
which he shows the part taken by this
compa ratively New science in modern in
dustrial progress, including its entry into
many manufacturing enterprises and in
duStrieS.
Following the contributions on chenis-
try is one by Noel Heaton, concerning the
production and identification of artificial
precious stones, subject Of no little ro-
mantle interest due to the fact that men
of science have for centuries strained
their ingenuity in attempting to solve
the mystery Of the origin of jewels in
order to gain for themselves both fame
and we may suppose untold wealth by
producing them artificially. Within the
last few years the subject has been re-
vived with new force, since only recently
artificial production on d commercial
scale of any species of gem has become
practicable. By the term ''artificiar' Mr..
Heaton does not mean imitation stones,
but only such reproductions as possess
the chemical and physical properties of
the natural stones. Many of the processes
of manufacture are explained in this pa
per, and the instruments and tests used
in the Identification of jewels are de-
scribed. While the manufacture of many
stones is scientifically possible, 1t is not
yet general. and cannot interfere COM
mercially if the dealers are honest enough
to properly describe their wares.
