TO GIVE AWAY
RADIUM PLANT.
Dr. Howard 4. Kelly Agrees to
Government Plan.
Mr.. LANE ANNOUNCES IT.
Secretary Of Interior Makes Strong
Plea For Withdrawal Of
Ore Lands = Outlines
Plans.

Washington, D. CDR. Howard A.
Kelly, of Baltimore, the cancer expert
and eminent surgeon, found an ardent
defender in Secretary of Interior
Franklin K Lane. who appeared be-
fore the House Committee on Mines
and Mining to urge legislation to
break up the "radium monopoly" so
that as much Of the precious metal as
possible may be distributed in trust
worthy hands for the warfare on
cancer.
''I do not see," said Secretary Lane
to the committee, ''why DR.. Kelly, Of
Baltimore, and DR.. Douglass, Of New
York, should be subjected to so much
criticism regarding their efforts to get
more radium for medical use in this
country. They are two distinguished
and high-minded men. They are
working for the sole purpose of getting
q sufficient supply Of radium for the
benefit Of mankind. DR.. Kelly is known
to you. DR.. Douglass is a millionaire
and a distinguished chemist. He is
the former president of the Ell Paso
and Southern Railroad"
Will Turn Over Plant.
Congressman Taylor, of Colorado,
who is combating the Lane proposition
for the withdrawal from public entry
of radium-ore lands, said he wished it
understood that he had never criticised
DR.. Kelly and DR.. Douglass.
Secretary Lane, In the course of his
argument, told Of the offer of DR.. Kelly
and DR.. Douglass to turn over to the
Government the plant they are con-
structing at Denver for the extraction
Of radium from ore. Continuing, he
said:
''This plant will be completed in
February. It cost about S150,00O. DR..
Kelly and DR.. Douglass will turn the
plant over to US so that we can use it
to experiment with our process for the
extraction of radium from carnotite
ore. We have process which we be-
lieve will work. We will use DR..
KeIly's plant in which to make our ex-
periments, and it will be done with DR..
Kelly's and DR.. Douglass money.
CDR. Kelly and DR.. Douglass have a
contract with the Crucible Steel Com
pany to furnish them the radium-bear-
Ing ore upon which we will try our ex-
tracting process. We will use their
ore also, and have agreed to give them
the first seven grams of radium and
the rest shall be ours"
What do you propose to do with
this radium after it falls into the Gov
srnment's hands?" Secretary Lane was
asked.
'My idea," he replied, "is to turn
some of the radium over to the Gov
eminent hospitals and place the re-
mainder in depots in different parts of
the country, so that it can be reached
for relieving the poor"

PENNsYs COAL TAX.
Suit Brought To Test constitutionaIIty
OF the Law,

Harrisburg, Pa-The first suit to
test the constitutionality of the anthra-
cite coal tax was begun in the DauPhin
County Court by the Peoples Coal
Company, of Scranton. The bill in
equity filed in the cases contends that
the act is unconstitutional in that it
violates the provision protecting prop
erty.
The act, passed by the last legisla-
ture, provides a tax Of two and one
half per cent. on the value Of each
ton of coal prepared for market, which
amounts to a little more than five
cents a ton. After the law became ef-
fective most of the producing COM
panies raised the price of coal to meet
the tax. 1t is estimated that the tax
will bring to the State between $4,-
100000 and $5,OOO,O0O. half of which
is returned to the anthracite producing
counties for distribution among their
civil divisions according to population.

|HAITI A HOTBED
OF REBELLION
Washington Officials Stirred
Over the Situation.
WILSON AND BRYAN CONFER
Success of the Haltien Movement Re.
garded AS a Direct Challenge To
the Administrations Disap-
provaI Of Such Methods.

Cape Haitien, Haiti-A general re-
volt has broken out in the city of
Gonaives, capital of the Department of
Artibite. The leader of the insurrec-
ton is Oreste Zamor, former governor
of the department and at one time
minister of war. The city is only 65
miles from Port au Prince, the capital
of the republic. General Desormes, at
the head of the rebel forces, took Cape
Haitien and Fort Liberte.
Washington-The Haitien revolu-
tion, headed by Davilar Theodore, an
exiled senator recently driven into
Santo Domingo, has reached such pro-
portions as to command the serious at
tention of the State Department. The
success of a movement of this kind
might be regarded as a direct chal-
lenge to the administrations policy of
disapproval of the erection of govern
ments by force and without reference
to the forms of constitution.
Secretary Bryan has already con-

Boaz w. Long, chief of the Latin
American Bureau of the State Depart
ment, as to Haitien affairs.
News was received at the State De-
partment from the American Legation
at Port au Prince that at Cape Haitien,
threatened by the rebels, the citizens
have formed a committee of public
safety, removed customs officials and
placed a commission in charge.
Although no treaty exists, as in the
case Of Santo Domingo, which clothes
the United States government with au-
thority over the customs houses, it is
understood that ample authority for
taking over Haitien custom houses out
of control of the national government
has been proffered through Ulrich
Duvivier, resident Hattien minister
here.
The naval force available is believed
to be quite sufficient for the purpose,
as the cruiser Montana, now at Port
au Prince has a complement of $50
men, including a company of marines,
the Petrol, now at Santo Domingo city,
but within easy reach of Haitien
waters, has crew of 120 bluejackets
and the gunboat Nashville at Cape
Haitien carries 225 men.
