Chemical Company Is
Buying Radium Lands

Washington, d. Hearings be-
fore the house mines committee on
bills proposing the withdrawal of ra-
dium-bearing public lands continue.
Joseph Flannery, of the Standard
Chemical company, admitted that his
company recently closed deal for five
additional land claims in Colorado.
He denied, however, that his agents
were under orders to buy all the ra-
dunn claims they could clay their
hands on, and said his company now
had all the claims it needed
Charges that DR.. Howard Kelly, of
Baltimore, had inspired the effort to
withdraw radium lands ''to divert at
tention from himself were made by
o. Barlow Willmarth, head of two ra-
dunn mining companies of Colorado.
Fears of monopolization of radium
ores, Willmarth said, were groundless.
Thomas Curran, who said his family
owned and operated 10 claims in Col
orado, told the committee that doubt
as to DIR. Kelly's humane motives was
not possible.

Not Worth PAVING For.

Ed and Joe were walking along a
country road one hot day In July and
became very thirsty, but could not
find any water. Coming at last to a
farmers house, and noticing woman
standing In the door, they went up to
her and requested drink of water.
She said: I'VE haven't had any
rain for three weeks and the well is
dry"
Then please give US drink OF
milk"
The woman replied that the milk
was all taken to market, but added
that she. had some buttermilk stored
away and would give the thirsty trav
elers a drink of it.
After quenching their thirst with
buttermilk they offered to pay the
kind woman for 1t, but she refused
the money, saying: Il was going tc
give 1t to the pigs, anyway."-Pitts

of Mrs. o. H. P. Belmont, of New
York, and her influence has been
pledged to the Congressional Union
for Woman Suffrage, which is battling
here to secure an amendment to the

men.
The union received a letter from
Mrs. Belmont applying for membership
and inclosing check for $4,000 as a
contribution to the cause
A statement was issued by the un-
ion declaring war on the Democratic
party because the public rules commit
tee has refused to create a woman

will make a special fight to defeat for
congress Representative Henry, OF

tee, because Mr.. Henry, they say,

Washington, D. C.-Conviction in
administration circles that the Huerta
regime in Mexico is rapidly approach
ing a collapse has led to much discus
sion here of the nature of John Lind's
frequent conferences with Mexican
leaders. Belief is expressed that
President Wilson's representative is
surveying the situation to determine
how events will shape themselves
when the Huerta structure falls
Mr.. Lind's latest conference with
Jesus Flores Magon and other Mexican
statesmen have interested members of
the diplomatic corps, who pointed out
that in view of President Wilson's re-
iterated statements that he would not
recognize Huerta nor any of the
things for which he stands, the Amer
lean envoy might naturally be induced
to throw out hints as to what type of
man would meet with approval of the
White House.
