COTTON CONCENTRATION
GROWING AT GAIN LSltN.
Storage Facilities and Concentration
Privileges Result in Increased
Movement.
Daily Light Special.

Galveston, Texas, January J.
was very much shorter this year
than originally anticipated, it is
more than probable that the con-
centration of cotton at Galveston
will exceed in the number of bales
that previously concentrated here
in any one season.
Two reasons are assigned for
this one. the very low grade OF
cotton which has induced many
owners to hold and to use Calves
ton facilities for storage; the other,
the cotton concentration privileges
FOR which we struggled so long
and which have only recently been
given us.
Galveston is rapidly coming to
the front as a concentration point
for compressed cotton. Shippers
are realizing the advantage of hay
ing their cotton concentrated with
in easy reach of snpside, and the
conditions at Galveston are now
favorable for this business. While
in practically all instances the cot
ton has always moved through the
port of Galveston, leaving here a
small measure of profit to the
town through loading and unload
ing charges. the concentration of
cotton here is much more to be
desired on account of the increased
handling expense to the owner
which is earned by Galveston labor
and which increases the distribu-
ton Of earnings throughout the
city.

FIGHT FOR CONTROL
During the Period Premier Asquith

stormy Career-The Work
Ahead.
By the Associated Press.

London, Jan. 3.-The Liberal
Party, which recently celebrated the
eighth anniversary of its return to
power, now has the honor of leading
the affairs OF the British for a longer
consecutive period than any party for
nearly hundred. years. Premier
Asquith has now been in office for
april next, if his government sur
wives, he will approach the record
of Lord Salisbury, whose second
term of office lasted just seven
years.
In his recent tour in Lancashire
Mr. Asqnith referred to his long
term ana the stormy times that his.
government has weathefed. Certain~
II it has been an almost continuous
fight. Finding early in his career
that the House of Lords would not
pass amy of the. legislation that his
followers had set their hearts on,
Mr. Asquith, With courage which
even his political opponents credit
Us strong, undertook to clip the
wings of the Upper Chamber by re-
s6ricting its power of veto, That
accomplished he set about passing
the Home Rule and Welsh Disestab-
lIsament bills, which next session
are to come up for the third time,
and no matter what the attitude of
the House of Lords is, viii become
law. The government will then
press to get the bill to put an end
TO plural voting likewise passed for
the third time and then go ~ the
country for an endorsement OF what
it has done and mandate to carry
licensing, educational and land re-
form
The Liberals, therefore. have as
much work ahead of them as they
have accomplished in their eight
years of office.
in 1905 Mr. Balfour, then Prime
Minister, found that bye-election af-
ter bye-elaetion was going against
him and he decided to resign. He
chose this course instead OF dissolv-
ing the House OF Commons, because
he believed that it would be either
impossible for the Liberals to form

which had occurred over the South
African War, or il one was formed

DENTAL. STUDENTS IN

Berlin, Jan, 3--German dental
students in more than dozen
schools are on strike for higher

the inferior classification of Tooth
physicians, which now prevails i'll

continue their studies unless they
are given the coveted title.
The high grade and highly re-
niunerative dental practice III Ger
many is largely monopoliZed by
American dentists, and the native
tooth physicians" struggle under
the handicap oT this title for what is
left. The ministry of education,
which has behind it the world OF
regular physicians, refuses to intro
duce the doctor title, which would

sense.
By the United Press.

Minneapolis, Jan. Absolute,
sheer nonsense This was the COM
ment today OF Professor A. J. kova-
rick OF the University of Minnesota
On the statement of Professor Harry
Jones of John Hopkins University
that a million tons of radium could
be fou.l> at the bottom of. the sea
Professor K0varick. one of the
worlds deepest students of the mys-
teries of rGQium, and a teacher in
the physics department at the Uni
versity of Minnesota declared he did
10 convey The impression, widely re-
eeiYed. that million tons or any
other large amount of radium lay
available at the bottom of the sea.
Bring me a pailful of rock or
soil or 4 ton of it, and ask me to
extract the radium from it and you
have done one thing, but ask me to
take a million tons of earth or
water and take the radium from ii
and you have done something else.
It is nonsense to think of handling
the volume OF matter necessary TO
obtain million tons OF radium 80
To illstrate now nonsensicaI' he
thought it. Professor Koyariek gave
the results of some investigations.
"Radium,' he observed was OBJ
tanned for practically commercial
and laboratory purposes principal
by from pitchblende and carmetite.
From a ton OF iitchblents, one
3ooth OF an ounce of radium could
be obtained or an amount as large
would yield about one-siXth as much
as the pitchblende. The water of The,
sea contain I0eo. 600 ,00o times less
than pitchbiende. Radium. We
think, is in everything about us, 50
said the professor, but how 10 get
it out il sufficiently large quanti-
ties is an unsoNed problem. You
must handle too much matter to get
it" Nofessor Koyaricii Was skepti-
cal of the power Of radiun to cure
cancer, the use Of which for that
purpose was recently announced.
'Radium will cure some diseases
of the skin, he said, but cannot
see how it can be used successfully
for the treatment Of cancer. II the
cancer could be followed by radium
10 its depths, it might be possible
but it seems 10 ME that the disease
is too deep seated. There are three
different radium rays. Two of them,
the beta and the alpha, are special
ly useful for medical purposes.
They have destructive effect on
tissue. and If rightly applied may be
used to destroy certain disease is
sues without destroying the normal
tissue. The rays consist Of the most
minute particles OF the radium
thrown out from it.
Europe is ahead OF us iii the use
Of radium for medical purposes.
There seems to be too much pendan-
ticism in American hospitals. The
A-Rays, which are very penetrating
like the gamma rays OF radium, are
relied on in place of radium, which

ips better appreciated, so much bet
