WARN AGAINST QUACK
 USE OF RADIUM FOR
 TREATMENT OF CANCER
New York Health Board Makes Public Statement;
 As Yet Radium Benefits Remain to Be Proven

NEW YORK, Feb. 7-The New York city department of health issued a warning today against "quacks" who might seek tc take advantage of the popular interest arouse1 by the recent experiments with the radium treat ment for cancer. In its report, the de- partment says:
 According to the lest authorities, the radium treatment for cancer is as yet a matter of experiment. What sue. cessful results have been obtained concern chiefly the treatment of ex- tefnal cancers, particularly those of the skin.
 Thus far there has practically been no proof hat radium has finally cured any one case of advanced of advanced or discontinued cancer. There Is ev- cry reason to believe that the popular interest aroused in the radium treat ment of cancer will be utilized by a large number of individuals with little or no radium and who have no Inowl. edge of its use."

GOLD EXCITEMENT AT RAY IS INCREASED BY
 ANOTHER RICH FIND
New Strike Said to Run as
 High as $lO,oC0; Globe Participating in the Fever

RAY, Ariz.. Feb 7.--Gold ore as- saying as high as $10.000 e ton was found yesterday five miles northeast of Ray. on a direct line between that camp and Globe. The strike was made by Arthur Higgins, the same man who made a big gold discovery in that district few days ago. Yes terday's strike is believed by the peo- pie of Ray to be a continuation of the same gold ledge and is taken as an indication that a vr-i deposit of the yellow metal has been found.
 A quantity of high grade ore has been found already. A ledge twenty feet wide had been traced for con siderable distance and ton of ore taken fropl it milled Sl.OOO in gold. In spots the ledge ran to much higher values and some of it assayed as high as S1o.OO0
 That there is gold in the district where Higgins has made his strikes has been known for years by old resi- dents of this section of the country. The formation is said to be in pockets. however. and 1t is possible that this is the nature of the finds made there at this time
 Reports of the strikes have created o great deal of excitement, both in Globe and in Ray and prospectors are Hooking into the district. Claims have been staked for great distance around the places where the finds We're made and there are indications of a big gold excitement unless more careful examination proves the prop erty to be of less value than is now believed.
 The message from Ray said that high officials of the Magma, Ray Con- solidated and Hercules mines went to the scene as soon as the strike was reported yesterday and their report is awaited with the keenest interest.

Its Peace Aim Will Be
 Quickly Shattered, Accord ing to His View of Situation

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7-"The Nor os will make shord work of the local Filipino government" says Brigadier General Pershing in his latest report as governor of Mindaaao to Secretary Garrison.
 "The actual relations between them are such that any attempt at a Fill plno government will lead only to rebellion and disaster. Peace in the Moro provinces can be maintained only by the continuance of American control. If we are to honestly carry out our obligation to the tribes which have yielded to our authority and who expect us to guide them to something better, then the entirc island of Min danao should be governed and con trolle. permanently by American of ficials under the American plan of sovereignty"

JUAREZ, Feb. "A special train earning twenty Americans. led by w. J. Farragut. Of the Mexican North. western railroad, fifty coffns and a rescue outfit. left here tonight for the tunnel site from where the news came earlier that those on the IT, fated train held up on Wednesday by Castillo. had meet death by slfloca- tion.
 The exact number Cf persons aboard the train. whlch consisted of one first class and two second class coaches. a baggage and express car and freight CT, is not known. The first report put the number at 35. while the request for coffins asked that 75 be sent.
 Evidently, this is simply an esti- mate, however, as the searching patty led by pr. F. c. Herr, of Ma1erl. has been unable to penetrate the tunnel and count the dead These 1t is eX- pected. will be found strewn along inc poisonous reaches of the tunbol where they fell in attempting ,o es- cape.
 Dr. Herr has reported one body within 300 feet of the north entrenoe of the tunnel. 1t is that of Juan Fernandez, rear brakeman of the train. As the passenger train did not stop until within a few hundred feet cf the freight with which Castillo had set fire to the tunnel seven hours before, Fernandez must have crawlei three quarters of mile before he sue cumbed to the fumes and smoke. In his trail it Is believed other bodies will be found, unless crushed in at- tempt to crowd through the aises and doors of the car in which they Were trapped. {.
 Railroad men in Fl Paso are turi- ous about this last Castillo act On Tuesday, twenty-two oi his men were captured and executed by the rebels. The next day. apparently in revenge, he captured freight train and ran it to the south end of the tunnel, three hundred feet inside, he set the train afire. The passenger train entered the death trap from the north as us- nal, ut the rate of fifteen miles per Incur.
 When the engineer discovered the trap, it was too late. Just what his actions were will be known only after an examination of the locomotive Is made.
 Castillos failure to send back warnings is regarded as the most cruel and murderous act of his car ger as an outlaw. There is disposition here to criticize General Villa for not having him crushed long ago.
 A bulletin tonight from pearson says that there were three add tiomal Americans 1n the ill-fated traln. They are said to be:
