of New Jersey, whose election to the
Senate was due in large part to the sup

opposition to the candidacy of the Gov

the Senate. A number of other Senators.
among them men who are supposed to be
in sympathy with Gov. Wilson's policies,
also questioned the propriety of Mr.. Will
sons candidacy and the wisdom OF his
election.
Senator MARITIME said yesterday that in
his Judgment the candidacy of Joseph
r. Wilson smacks of nepotism, and ex-
pressed a doubt as to whether he would
vote for him even if he We're requested
to do so by Gov. Wilson himself.

that he should aspire to this place. Mr..

He spent several hours at the Capitol.
and met a number of Democratic Sen

He confirmed the rumor that he was
a candidate for the Office, and this con-

heels of his visit to Princeton, caused
many persons to suppose that his can

encouragement of President-elect Will

TALK OF London
Profound Sensation Caused by

Messages Of Congratulaion Pour in

DISCUSSED IN CLUBS

London. Feb. s.-A profound world
wide sensation has been caused by Sir
William Ramsay's latest discovery-the
birth OF the atom
Since IL was given to the world at the
Chemical Society's meeting, Sir William
has been inundated with congratulatory
messages from all parts of the world
and what is more extraordinary even,
the man in the street is discussing its
wonderful possibilities.
Wherever two or three persons are con-
gregated. one hears snatches of conver-
sation, in which the birth of the atom
recurs with startling frequency. 1t is
almost the sole topic of conversation in
trolley cars and trains

within the last few years." said
Prof Thompson, methods have been
discovered which gave more direct in
formation as to the nature and property
of the atom and results which are more
clearly cut out. This Improvement in
methods is almost entirely due to the
fact that we have electrified the atom
This generation has electrified our rail-
roads and homes. but almost as strik-
ing has been the electrification Of the
atom and the molecule. In the unelec-
trified state the atom and the mulecule
were most elusive. It required billion
of them to detect them by chemical
methods, but as soon as the atom was
II became more aggressive.
One electrified atom was worth millions
of unelectrified atoms. AS a result
there has been an enormous gain in
the study of the atom. for electrification
made II difficult for the atom to escape
Prof. Thompson proceeded to outline
the history ofiatomic theory and advance
which scientists had made during the
past twenty years. He illustrated how
the path of the molecule could be fol-
lowed when under the influence Of mag
netic or electric forces and how the
path Of the atom could be photographed.
In concluding. he paid a high tribute
to Prof. Ramsay's discovery of the
spontaneous birth of helium.

FEAST OF CALIFORNIANS

Mai. Gen. Wood, speaking at the third
annual Exposition banquet. or the
California Association at the Conu-
mental Hotel last night. outlined plan
by which 1t is hoped to give the United
States a thoroughly efficient military
reserve while escaping the condition OF
''militarism.'
.sThe defense of any country lies not
in a large standing army or navy, out
in the hands Of the people themselves,
said Gen Wood. But to be able to de-
fend oeir country the people must have
"A certain amount of training. What we
want is a system that will tram as
many men as possible for efficient serv-
Ice in time of war, but system Wnich
at the same time will interfere as ht-
tie as possible with the economic con-
dition of the people
Mai. Gen. Wood said that year OF
two of service would be sufncient IN
which to train the reserves, ana 1na'
thew could then return to civil life ac-
tuailv better equipped as productive citf-
zens, The statistics of European coun-
tries he said, show that such is the
case. and that men with such training
are more law-abiding.
All the speakers did full justice to
California and her achievements, but
laid especial emphasis on what Is being
done now and will be done In the future

There was vocal solo given by Miss
Audrey Harvey and recitation OF

 All the pleasure they get they get of what they ought not to have.
