TO SUGGEST RADIUM AS CANCER CURE

WASHINGTON, Feb. GA letter
written over a decade ago by DR..
Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor,
and recently discovered, is causing
his many friends here to wonder
whether he was not the first man to
suggest the imbedding of radium in
bodily tissue as a curative agent for
deep-seated cancers. The letter,
dated July q, 1903, and addressed TO
DIR. z. T. Sewers, of Washington,
was made public by the National
Geographic Society today.
Speaking of the satisfactory results
radium was found to have on eXter-
nal cancers and at the same time of
the unsatisfactory effect it had on
deep-seated cancers DR.. Bell in his
letter said: ut has occurred to me
that one reason for the unsatisfac-
tory nature of these latter expert
ments arises from the fact that the
rays have been applied externally,
thus having to pass through healthy
tissues of various depths in order to
reach the cancerous matter. The
Crooks tube which the Roentgen
rays are emitted is Of course too

Strikers Sent from South Africa
Refuse to Leave Vessel
at London.

| GRAVESEND, England, Feb. III
| Nine Of the ten labor leaders de-
ported from South Africa on board
the Umgeni on January q, after the
| general strike had been broken by
the government, declared their inten-
| ton of refusing to leave the vessel
when she arrived here today They
said they would remain on board until
| the steamer returned to South Africa.
Mr.. Balm, general secretary of the
Trades Federation of South Afriea,
acting as spokesman for his fellow
eXiles, said:
| I'VE were pressed To this vessel
against our consent. we do not in
tend to leave it until we land again
In South Africa.
Arthur Henderson, L labor member
of parliament. and other British labor
leaders went out on a tug down the
Thames to meet the deported strike
leaders from South Africa. but the
| captain of the Umgeni refused to al
| low any to come on board
A conference between the South
Africans and their English comrades
was therefore impossible and both
parties contented themselves Tor the
moment with singing the red flag
Secretary Balm handed over the size
of the Umgeni to Arthur Henderson Il
long statement recountine the events
which led UP TO the strike leaders
deportation from South Africa. 1t
| declared that hundreds of people ha0
been arrested Unfortunately during
. the strike for no crime whatever. The
| leaders of the movement, it asserted,
surrendered only in order to avoid
| bloodshed when military officer had
threatened to attack the trades hall
in johannesburg.
The refusal of the deported men 10
leave the Umgeni on her arrival had
not been anticipated here. The labor
members of parliament had arranged
a complimentary dinner in the dining
rooms of the House of Commons and
demonstrations at the opera house
and in Hyde Park.
The Umgeni proceeded up the
Thames to one of the London docks
before any further steps were taken
in connection with the landing OF tho
men.

South Africa was declared on Janu-
