Committee IS Split
ON RADIUM QUESTION
House Chairman Adjourns Session
Without Vote on Government
Withdrawal of Lands.
LANE ACCEPTS SUPPLY OFFER

Proposed government withdrawal of
radium lands split the Mines and Mining
Committee OF the House last night, and
after a three-hour debate Chairman Fos-
ter adjourned the session without calling
for a vote.
The four provisions Of the bill are:
l. Withdrawal Of all carnotite lands.
2. Establishment of a government fac
tory at Denver or acceptance of the plant
Of DR.. Howard Kelly and authorization of
an appropriation sufficient to run IL for
one year.
8. The leasing of carnotite lands to in
dividuals and the purchase of carnotite
mined either at a fiat price or on a per-
centage basis; in either event, all ores
to be turned over to the government.
T. Distribution by the government for
radium thus gained to institutions
throughout the country for the aid of
cancer victims.
Opposition to the bill was based on the
contention OF members that government
control Of the radium lands meant a
lockout" and a consequent decline in
this industry. When the meeting adj
journed Chairman Foster predicted an
agreement within a day or so.
Secretary Of the Interior Lane yester-
day accepted an offer made by Stephen
T. lockwood. OF Buffalo. n. Y. to turn
over to the department a large quantity
of radium.
At the same time. the Secretary de-
clined Lockwood's offer OF his radium
plant. which can handle thirty tons of
a day. because the government
mas no money with which TO operate il.
Lockwood's offer was made upon the
single condition that the government re-
fine thes radium salts in his possession
and use them for scientific purposes.

The income tax was praised by Secre-
tary Bryan. He also lauded the new
closure rule in Congress. 81 am gratified
that at last il will be impossible for a
few gentlemen to talk anything to death"
he said.
Mr. Bryan made il clear that in his
opinion the people, and not a few men,
should fix the details of the Presiden-
tial primary law. Granting that the
people have sufficient intelligence and
the right to choose their own Presidents,
nc said, they also should have the right
to choose them their own way.
II always have felt that there is more
virtue in the people than in their rep
resentatives," said the Secretary of
State. THE representatives are more
or less a necessary evil. The principle
Of the primary law now is fixed; the de-
tails must be determined by experiment
The people themselves Should make this
law rather than have it made by those
who do not want it,
As to whether primary elections should

plan, Mr.. Bryan said present conditions
seemed to favor the State plan.
However, the whole thing should not
be overthrown by a few States that do
not want it." he added.

Applause Il Frequent.

Practically after each of his sentences
his listeners applauded. The Common
Counsel Club, being more or less a
Wilson Club and its aims and ideals,
namely, the furtherance of progressive
Democracy, being those of President Will
son, Mr.. Bryan's speech. on the whole,
was Just the thing
But when the Commoner sprang that
bomb aboutSthe alleged connection be-
tween Wall Street and Presidential cleo
TONS the members of the Common Coun-
sci Club looked at one another with
amazement. Although the speaker paused
for a few seconds, as il studying the i'm
precision his remark had made, not a
hand-clap, not a sound of approval-nor
of disapproval-was heard. The listeners
took it in silently. II apparently had
come too suddenly. But after the meet
ing there was significant whispering: the
members formed little groups and stuck
their heads together and everywhere the
pounded.
Secretary Bryan was introduced by
Solicitor Joseph w. Folk, who. as head
Of the club, presided. He referred to
Mr.. Bryan as the richest man in the
world. not in silver and gold. but in the
affections OF his fellowmen."
Secretary Bryan said the tariff bill had
gone, and would go. very much farther
than the country ever had expected. The
tremendous good that will come from
the currency reform cannot be fully
realized by the people at this time, he
thought. Speaking of proposed trust leg
islation he said:
