 GUNMEN INNOCENT

Albany, June 16.-Rabbi Jacob Gold stein. a chaplain to Sing Sing prison and the Tombs, New York city, as serted before the bill of rights com mttee of the constitutional conven- tion today that one of the four New York gunmen executed for the murder of Herman Rosenthal went to his death an innocent man and that the district attorneys office has admitted much in a communication to Governor Whit man. MT. Goldstein would not name the gunman, but he is believed to have referred to "Dago Frank Ciroficcl
 The rabbi appeared before the com mttee to urge constitutional amend ment abolishing the death penalty
 From my own experience" he said, and from what I have learned, I know that scores of innocent men have died on the gallows and in the chair. l was present when a lad whom I prac- tically knew to be innocent went to his death"
 Asked if he referred to one of the four gunmen. he replied: "I do, and the innocence of this boy has been admitted in a communication sent from the dis trict attorneys office te the governor" ]"

Radium as a Fertilizer
n the Indianapolis News.

From the lnulanApOuS NcNS.
 One of the amazing features of con temporary chemistry Is the develop ment and rapid decline of radium as a dominating agent in human affairs, The principle of radio activity was dis covered somewhat less than 20 years ago. In 1898 the Curies startled sci entists by their experiments With radium itself It was believed that property of matter and a source of energy. hitherto unknown had been discovered. The properties of radium as curative were first tested. and were not fulfilled. Attention in the meantime was turned to the activity of radium In the soil and since then careful and elaborate tests had been made, some of which showed the new energy to he beneficial in the produce tion of food.
 The agricultural experiment station of the University of Illinois, according to bulletin. determined to find out the worth of radium as fertilizer. IL seems that there is only one company engaged in mlnging uranium -radium ere tcarnotite). from which radium Is extracted. Radum salts were prepare d by this company and turned over to the agriculturists at Urbana. Guar liiitS ol val iiiS AAtHENh NtAc oflf'oN at cost, respectively of sl, $lo and Sl00 an acre. Every effort was made to make the test fair, as the station desired to le9rn what effects radium salts had on the earth as a producer of Vege- table food. From the two years work, ' reads the bulletin i've have six trdst- worthy average results with corn three for and three against radium and we have IS averages with soy beans nine for and nine against radium IT all these trials the average variation from the checks is SO slight and SC evenly distributed for and against. as to lead only to the conclusion that ,, radium applied at cost of sl. slo oi S100 an acre, produced no effect upon the crop yields either the first or sec ond season.
 This verdict disagrees with one reached by a Columbia University pro lessor as described in the New York Times last wear and with the theory of another scientist, Gager, whose find inss were presented in the Popular Science Monthly. and is against the opinion of Fabre. famous French nat uralist However, farmers fin Illinois and other central states will be inclined to respect the judgment of the Urabian investigators. Radium a fertilizer would be very expensive. It Is not the expense or the trouble to which the University of Illinois agricultural sta tion objects, but to the absence of pene- ficial effects. Even If radium,' reads the bulletin. Tor other radio o-active sub stances were to increase crop yields when applied to soils in sufficient quantity, the effect would be that of a stimulant and the increase would be secured at the expense of the soil. bus the soil would not be enriched In fer tility. but actually impoverished by such treatment"

CH|CAGOSTR|KEOF STREET CAR MEN
 SUDDENLY STOPS
All Points at Issue Will Be Settled by Arbitration. Operations to Be
 Resumed

Chicago. June 16.-Normal service on Chicaso elevated and surface car lines was resumed today as the result of an sion of railway and labor representatives and council committee. headed by May or Thompson, had agreed on arbitra ton. The homebound thousands tonight were transported without delay.
 The elevated lines ran cars soon after the announcement that there had been an agreement to arbitrate, but it was several hours before anything like nor maj schedule was in operation. On the surface lines the first cars to appear downtown reached the loop about II O clock. They were enthusia stically cheered, At the rush hours of the even ing the surface lines were in full opera tion.
 The formal agreements between the companies and the unions to arbitrate differences were not signed until noon, although the order had gone out to the 14,0o0 employees to return to work sev- eral hours before. Mayor Thompson was credited with bringing about the agree ment to arbitrSte, and he was chosen by both sides as the neutral arbiter. The ones representing the men and the com panies will be chosen before Saturday, when the first meeting of the three ar bters is to be held
 In working out the arbitration agree ment it was agreed that as to wages there should be no arbitration downward and that "trippers' who work only during, the rush hours of traffic-would be eliminated. Every point of difference between the men and the empowers is to be decided by the arbiters.

Los Angeles, Cal, June 16.-Mlton A. Schmidt and David Caplan, alleged ac- complices of James McNamara in the Los Angeles Times dynamitng cases, entered motion in the superior court here today asking that indictments of murder found against them be dismissed on the ground that some of the grand jurors who ac- cused them had been selected or sug gested by F.

 Attorneys for Schmidt filed with the motion a letter alleged to have been written by Zeehandelaar to Earl Rogers. a lawyer then interested in the prosecu- ton of the McNamaras and their confed- crates. This letter contained data con corning the supposed attitude of several prospective members of the grand jury with regard to labor unions. Three of the men named in it finally served on the grand jury which indicted Schmidt and Caplan.

ATTACKS POLICIES
 OF PRESIDENT WILSON

Amsterdam. June 16.-(Via London, June IT. 2:39 a. m.)-Professor Philipp Zorn of the chair of law at Bonn university and who was a member of both The Hague conventions, attacks the adminis- tration of President Wilson in an article in the Cologne Gazette.
 We have a clear conscience as far as international law is concerned" says Pro- lessor Zorn, but has the Wilson gov- ernment an equally good conscience? l answer no. The feelings of the German people are bitter against America, not against the American people, whom we consider our good friends, but against the Wilson government, which is neutral only in form.
 Hourly our army, our people and the Kaiser are insulted in the meanest, most lying ia shion by the American press. Is that honorable neutrality? The war would have been over except for American SUD- plies. We accuse President Wilson be- fore God and the world of guilt for the continuance of this fearful murder. That is the neutrality and Christianity of President Wilson and his government. '"

Farmer and Naturalist
rom the Christian Work.

from the CnflStlan W Ofk.
 Presently I discovered. moving slowly along the margin of the field below me. the old professor with his tin botany box. And somehow I had no feeling that he was intruding upon my new land
 Do not apologize. friend. when you coms into my field You do not interrupt me- What you have come for is of more im- portance at this moment than corn. Who is 1t that says l must blow many fur rows this day? Come. in friend we will sweeten the evening with fine words.
 So David Grayson in his Adventures in Contentment begins the story of how the farmer and the professor found each other. They talked first of rudbeckia Then growing out of this study of nature arose a desire fin the farmer to touch on higher themesi for he says. ''T always hope that some traveller may have more news of the way than L.
 When had stopped speaking continues the farmer-he remained for a moment silent, then he looked at me with a new regard. Finally he quoted quietly, but with deep note in his voice.
 "Canst thou by searching find out God? Canst <Slou find out the Almighty unto perfection? It Is as high as heaven; wha, canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?'
 Then he smiled and said briskly. "t have been a ootanst for "A years When was boy l believed implicitly in God. I prayed to him. having vision of him-a person-before my eyes As grew older l concluded that there was no God. dismissed him from the universe. believed only in what l could see, or hear, or feel, I talked about nature and reality"
 He paused, the smile still lighting his face Finally he turned to me and said: And now-t seems to me-there is nothing but God"
 For time we were both silent. When left him I offered my hand and told him I hoped I might become his friend So I turned my face toward home Evening was falling, and IS I walked I heard the crows calling and the air was keen and cool and thought deep thoughts.

EENED CADDA MIA DECLINES TO ACCEPT
 PEACE OVERTURES
(Continued from Page One)

government signed by Chazaro was sim liar to one sent to General Carranza sev- eral weeks ago signed by Roque Gonzales Garza, then president of the convention government That, too, was unanswered.
 Since last Monday Carranza had a per- sonal telegram from General Villa, urg- ing a conference of their representatives for discussion of peace terms. It is known here, too, that a delegation from the convention at Mexico City met Gen. Pablo Gonzalez, the Carranza commander, near the capital and asked for the ar rangement of an armistice and that he demanded, in reply, the unconditional surrender of the city.
 The Villa-Zapata followers claim these efforts demonstrate their willingness to heed the suggestion in President Wilson's recent statement that the factions in Mexico settle their differences.
 General Carranzas intention for the present is understood to be to press his military campaign vigorously in the hope that on taking Mexico City and driving the Villa forces northward he will be in position to merit the recognition of the United States.

BRITAIN AbANDONS
 COMPU[S|ON IDEA Government Will Be Given the Power to Prevent
 Strikes, However

London, June 17.-d.54 a. m.)-The government appears to have aban- doned. a least for the present, any idea of compulsion in the organization of industries for the production of war munitions.
 David Lloyd George, minister of mu- nitions when he first broached the idea of compulsion in public, was wig orously attacked by radicals and la borites who strongly opposed compul- sion either in recruiting for the army or for industrial purposes arguing that such methods would produce in Great Britain the alleged evils seen in the German military system.
 Mir Lloyd Georges conferences with the trade union leaders has resulted in an agreement upon bill which will give the government power to prohibit strikes or lockouts prejudcial to the national interest in controlled factor ies and provide that all questions of wages and conditions of employment be settled by a specially appointed tribunal. This bill will be introduced next week and rushed through.
 The bill contains no provision for compulsion or even compulsory regis traitor by the male population, but will enable the opening or rolls or Volun- teers who are prepared to work in any factory controlled by the govern ment for period of six months. In all such controlled establishments pro ducing munitions all restrictive rules and the practices of the trades unions will be suspended and the profits of the employers limited.
 It was announced in Parliament yes terday on behalf of the government that it was intended to impose a spe- cial tax on war profits and a meas ure with this object in view was being considered As far as is known em. ployers generally are not offering open resistance to this plan which prob ably will form part of the first budget of the new chancellor Reginald Me Kenna.
 This budget, according to the Times, promises to he the most terrific in- strument of taxation in British fiscal history.

HAD CONFIDENCE IN. EXAMINATION BOARD.
Admiral Fullam Testifies Before Court of Inquiry
 At Annapolis

Annapolis. June l6.-Rear Admiral William F. Fullam, superintendent of the naval academy. declared today that he had such confidence in the iudr- ment of the three officers composing the board which convicted seven mid shipmen of guilty advance knowledge of an examination that he personally did not think any further inquiry was necessary.
 This statement was made before the court of inquiry appointed by Secre- tary Daniels to make further inyesti- gation of irregularities in examination papers. The superintendent whose rec ommendation for the. dismissal of the midshipmen was based on the finding of the first board. made 1t plain. how ever, that he intended no criticism of the navy department, which had it's own reasons for reopening the matter. he said.
 Congressman c. C. Carlin of lnidship- mems counsel. questioned Admiral Full lam further today about trip to Washington Saturday. Mir Carlln took exception to what he termed an ef- fort by Admiral Fullam to force the admirafs views on Rear Admiral Blue. chief of the bureau of navigation, and Secretary Daniels, to both of whom the findings of the present court would go for review.
 Admiral Fullam protested against the line of MT. Carlins questioning. but when the court ruled that it was per missible, he disclaimed any intention of trying to influence anyone.
 At the morning session Lieut.. NJ. E. Manley, the admirafs aide and Lieut.. Com ]. T. Tompkins had testified that expressions of resentment and regret had been general among officers at the naval academy at the necessity for the present court of inquiry. In answer to a question by MT. Carlin along that line Admiral Fullam said
 There has been a great deal of in dignation expressed about a great many of the proceedings here. My ac- tions have been pried into in a way that is reprehensible. I can only be- lieve that someone has been spying on me-"
 The admiral said he had nothing to conceal that his understandin was that his rights IS a commanding of fcer at the academy were not abridged because there was a court here. He wanted to see any man guilty in any degree of "gouging' receive a punish ment that would fit the crime.

Fighting In West

London, June 16.-For the first time in weeks there has been heavy fighting ever a comparatively extensive line of the British front in Belgium and France. Berlin describes 1t as an Anglo-h ench movement synchronizing with Russian reverses in Galicia.
 To win mile of front. and then to lose it before terrific German counter attacks was the experience of the Brit ish Tue sday night near Festubert. In statement, frank if brief Field Mar shall French records this incident, out does not state the losses, which must have been heavy on both sides.
 The Germans are as frank In conced~ ing the loss of ground near Ypres, but do not mention having been forced, even temporarily. to yield mile of their Festubert stronghold.
 In the east the Austro -Ge rman ad- vance continues to swing forward with the exception of the section between the Dniester marshes and Zurawna where the Russians, holding the bridge heads. are making some headway
 General von Mackensen, according to dispatches. has given himself fort. night in which to capture Lemberg. and 1t would seem that at the rate his and co ordinate forces are going forward. this time limit will be ample if the Rus sians are unable to initiate a stiffer resistance than they are showing now.
