KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS
IN WASHINGTON FOR
THE GOLDEN JUBILEE.

Washington. Feb. 1s.-Delegates from
practically every state were arriving to-
night for the convention of the supreme
council, knights of Pythias, which begins
sessions tomorrow to continue until Sat-
urday night. The calling to order of the
convention will mark the opening of the
celebration of the Golden Jubilee COM
memorating the foundation of the order
of the knights of Pytnias here 80 years
ago, and similar celebrations will be held
by local councils in more than 1000 cities
and towns of the United States and Can
ada.
The convention will be addressed by
several high officers of the federal gov
ernment, including Secretary Bryan, past
chancellor OF. Lincoln, Neb., lodge, and
the delegates will be received by Presi-
dent Wilson at the White House. Fully
COCO representative members of the order
are expected to attend.
One of the features of the observauces
will be the simultaneous burning tomor-
row night of the lights of Pythianism--
blue, red and yellow-on more than O,0O0
affairs throughout the country.
The order was founded in Washington
Feb. Is. 1864, by 13 government clerks,

Fire Tuesday afternoon gutted the
interior of the wooden building own
ed by Gerald Brothers. and occupied
by Chase * Roundy as sample shoe
store and cobbling establishment and
situated on Railroad street. Shortly
after 2 o'clock when Mr.. Roundy. who
was at work OH one OF the machines,
heard a cracking sound as though
something was burning. Investigation
showed that in some manner. sup
posed to be an ovetheated CHIMNEY
a fire had been started between the
ceiling and the floor above. An alarm
was quickly sent out and with large
bucket brigade at his command, 8. r.
Felker directed the efforts of the will
ing workers and in short time the
fire was under control. A strong north
wind was blowing at the time, ana
had 1t not been for the prompt locat- z
ing of the blaze, 1t is doubtful II the
fire could have been placed under con-,
troll until the whole of the west side
of Railroad street had been wiped !
out. Unless speedy measures are'
taken toward the establishment or
some sort of water service, disas-
trous fire will wipe Clinton off the
map, some day.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-President
Wilson and Attorney General Mercy
nolds passed two hours tonight at the
White House examining in detail the
various bills pending before Congress
dealing with the trust problem. 1t was
the first opportunity the President has
had for a long and detailed discussion
on the subject with the chief legal Of
ficer of the government.
No announcements were made after
ward, the attorney general express
Ing the opinion that the whole ques-
ton would have to be worked out
gradually, but an idea of the princi-
pies which the administration desires
embodied in the proposed legislation
was gained from an authoritative
quarter.
Some of the proposals in the tenta-
tive measures on which hearings are
being held will be entirely re-vamped
and others will be dropped so as to
make the legal machinery, carrying
out the proposed reforms as simple as
possible.
The attorney general and the Pres
ident are in agreement that the pro-
posed Interstate Trade Commission
can be made a valuable instrument
for dealing with the trust problem,
provided it's powers are properly re-
stricted. 1t should not, for instance
they think, exercise any administra-
tive or regulatory functions or in any
way encroach upon the field Of the
department of justice. Cooperation
between the department and the COM
mission would be aimed at, much of
the work now done by the department
eff justice being transferred to the new
commission.
The attorney general believes the
Interstate Trade Commission could
gather facts and evidence in investi-
cations that might be useful in pre-
liminary sway for government prose-
cutions or might be the basis of judg-
ment in dealing with the desire of cor

more platform on the tolls question be-
cause it did not represent the sober
Judgment of the party on that point.
Senator Chamberlain of oregon, who
voiced the first formal opposition to
the President within the party ranks,
said:
1T is a matter of history that the
railways of this country, particularly
the trans continental railways, pre-
vented the construction of the Pan
anna canal for years, and when the
question of granting coastwise vessels
freedom from tolls was under discus
sion here in the Senate, those of us
who knew the lobbyists Of the rail-
way companies could look up in any
of the galleries and recognize the
faces Of Mr.. Schwerin and other men
who were lobbying for the railway
companies here and opposing this part
of the Panama canal act. Having fail
ed to defeat the building of the canal,
they now invade the field of diplomacy.
Where are we going to stop? Are
We going to listen to an insistence
which may be made hereafter by some
foreign power against railway owned
ships passing through the canal? That
violates the treaty as much as the
free tolls provision. Are We going to
dismantle cur forts? Are we going to
say that our naval vessels must pay
tolls?
Some nation may say that they vi
olate the treaty with as much force
as Great Britain now protests to us"
Senator McCumber, Republican, re-
piled briefly in the Presidents defence.
declaring he did not join with Sena-
tor Bristow in charging that the Pres
ident was the tool Of the trans con-
tiental railroads"
Senator Shiveley, acting chairman Of
the foreign relations committee, ended
the discussion with the declaration that
there were two sides to the question
which Congress would settle and that
the President needed no defence.
"The Presidents position" said he.
sis we'll understood by the country and
the difficulties OF the situation are like
wise understood by the country"

The cost of doing business to the
department store" Mrs. Frederick SAID,
"is about 80 per cent. and from 80 10
SO per cent. of retailers in all lines

ed that the price cutting stores let the
sincere manufacturer spend money to
tell consumers his standard and his
ideals and then publicly assault him
and try to rob him and the consumers
of the benefits of the standardized
fixed quality and price, so valuable to
consumers.
Mrs. Frederick asked for legislation
that would insure full and frank
knowledge about every article, per-
mission to manufacturers to fix prices
and encouragements to the manufac-
turers to bring about price decreases
and service increase to the consumer.

porations voluntarily to bring their
business within the confines of the
law In either case, 1t Is proposed to
give the commission merely powers OF
inquisition possessed by a grand jury,
its findings to be passed upon by the
department of justice. The commits
sion. the attorney general thinks, could
keep an eye on corporations already
dissolved in order to determine wheth-
er DEGREES are being carried out in
good faith.
The suggestion that the commission
be not required to obtain reports from
small organizations and concerns un-
der $5,000,000 in capitalization Us be-
ing favorably considered and there is
a general disposition on the part OF
the President and the attorney general
to advise that the new legislation
should not interfere with the ordinary
combinations or partnerships of small
concerns which in no way operate in
restraint of trade or to produce mo-
nopoly.
Both the President and Mr.. Mercy
nolds realize there are a multitude or
decisions already on the Sherman law,
and they desire not to add in any
way to judicial complications of the
trust law. They agree that 1t might
take years to interpret some of the
things proposed In pending bills and
the effect might be to restrict the Sher-
man law. Some of the proposed spe-
cific conditions TO the law relating to
price fixing may be dropped entirely,
and prevention of evils arising in this
connection may be left to the depart
ment of justice for prosecution as at
present.
The administration desires to add
such legislation as will help to pre-
vent monopoly but will in no way in
crease the already debatable area
around the antitrust law.
Further conferences between the
President and the attorney general are
likely.

"You know we have failures with
radium," said DR.. Able, "and its ef-
feet is some times confusing in the
extreme / found, for instance, in one
case of treatment of cancer of the lip
that instead of curing the cancer the
radium greatly stimulated 1t. The
cancer cells responded to my treatment
by growing at simply tremendous
rate.
THAT Is why I called DR.. Carrel in
to the case and asked him TO make
some experiments.
"Dr. Carrel took some living tissues
from a chickens leg two and half
years ago and put it in culture in
which it remained alive
''I asked DR.. Carrel to put some of
his living tissue in such position
near an electric magnet that only the
beta rays could reach It, I was sur
prised by the actual report. 1t was
that the bit of tissue placed under the
beta rays, which we have thought of
little or no value, actually showed
great dimunition of vitality. On the
other hand, the tissue placed where
only the gamma rays, which we
thought so dependable, could reach It,
showed scarcely any result at all.
The tissue went on growing as IL no
application Of radium had been made" +"

RADICAL CHANGES
IN CURE OF CANCER
BY RADIUM'S use.

New York, Feb. 1S.-Radical changes
in the methods of applying rad1um
in the treatment of cancer, as the re-
suit of experiments by Dr. Alexis Car
rel of the Rockefeller Institute, will
soon be adopted by all surgeons. ac-
cording to DIR. Robert Able, a pio-
neer investigator of the curative pow
ers Of the mineral. In an address last
night before the Radium Institute OF
America, DR.. Able, who began IL
years ago.. to use radium in the treat
ment of cancer, declared DR. Carrefs
experiments had convinced him that
the central theory of radium's action
under which he had proceeded up to
this time, was entirely wrong. Dr.
CarrePs Investigations, the speaker
said, demonstrated that the beta rays
of radium, which have heretofore been
considered dangerous and have been
kept away from contact with the pa
tient as much as possible, have an
effect upon cancer that is more heal
ing even than the gamma rays, now
so generally relied upon by surgeons.

Senator Bristow based his charge of
Inconsistency against the President on
the ground that he had told the Suf-
fragists he could not advocate their
cause because the Democratic party
had not expressed itself in the matter.
while he proposed that Congress should
reverse itself on the tolls question de-
spite the fact that the party had en-
dorsed its action. In this CONNECTION
