CANCER TREATMENT
Increased Supply Heightens the

Secretary Lane.
rFrorn The Tribans Buresu.l


Washington, Nov. 21.-Secretary
Lane announced to-day that, as q re-
suit of the ability Of the United States
Bureau Of Mines to produce radium for
$4,000 gram two great hospitals
the Memorial Hospital, In New York,
and the Kelley Sanatorium, In Balti-
more-have been able to obtain "s
goodly supply Of radium for use in the
treatment Of cancer, that dreadful
disease that is costing the lives OF
$4,000 human beings every year in the
United States"
This cost OF production is about one
third Of the market price Of radium
that has prevailed for the last two or
three years, says the Bureau Of Mines,
the usual price ranging from $4,000
10 100000 gram.
up to the present time" said Sec
retary Lane to-day, five grams OF
radium have been extracted from the
carnotite ores, and about half OF II has
been delivered TO the two hospitals.
"The Bureau Of Mines produced this
radium in cooperation with the Ma
tional Radium Institute, which was or
ganized 10 study the curative proper
ties OF radium, and not for private gain
These invostigations have been under
DR.. c. l.. Parsons. of the Bureau Of
Mines, the funds being furnished un-
der cooperative agreement between the
National Radium Institute and the Bu-
reau Of Mines, by DR.. Howard A. Kelly,
of Baltimore, and DR.. James Douglas,
of New York.
"The application Of radium In the
treatment of cancer and other malig-
nant growths has made much more
rapid progress in the last two years
than is generally appreciated, even by
the medical profession.
"One thing regarding radium that
has been developed is that II the
gamma rays of radium are to he sue
cessfully applied to the cure Of cancer
a much larger quantity Of radium must
be used than is posses ed by not more
than two or three individual surgeons
or hospitals in the United States.
az know of no individual or hospital
that has had the privilege Of working
with so much as half gram Of ra-
dium that does not report cures IN IN
creasing number or that IS not able
to treat even advanced cases with IN.
creasing success as a knowledge OF
technique is developed.
"The extent and variety Of cures re-
ported and the helpful effects Of the
gamma rays at depth are almost IN dl-
rect proportion to the quantity OF ra-
dium that can be applied at one time
to the patient. I do not mean that
radium in comparatively small amounts
may not be effective with some forms
Of cancer or some malignant Growths in
their incipiency. but in two American
hospitals that have half gram Of
rad:um or more results are being OBJ
tanned daily that unquestionably Will
not be duplicated elsewhere until equal
quantities are available"
Saving that seemingly the war has
not affected the market price, but
simply the amount produced, Secretary
Lane continues:

found that the task could not be done.
Hope was held out until Saturday

Attorney General Asks Help In
Furnishing Violence Aimed
AT Industries.

Washington, Nov. 21.-Official notice
- the United States governments in
,sption 10 employ ell its resources in
mining down and Furnishing those re-
snopsible for factory explosions, in
.!midation of labor and other acts of
violence against American industries is
eounled in a statement issued tonight
Lv Attorney General Gregory with an
s5peal TO state authorities to be equally
vigorous in dealing with lawlessness
beyond the reach of Federal statutes.
Information indicating attacks upon
lawful American industries and com
meree through incendiary fires and ex-
plosions in factories. threats to intimi-
date employees and other acts of vio-
lence." says the statement, "has so
often developed during the last few
months as TO demand searching investi-
cations and prosecutions The Depart
ment Of Justice will continue unremit-
tingly 70 investigate all such acts and
prosecute all developed violations Of
Federal statutes, seeking indictments
under the Federal law prohibiting the
interstate transportation of explosives,
the Sherman law, the law relating to
Onspiracy 10 commit an offence against
or TO defraud the United States and the
laws relating 10 crimes on ships and
on the high seas.
Because, however, OF our dual form
Of government the Federal criminal
laws are extremely limited in their
scope. Many crimes of violence, such
as arson, malicious destruction of
property, etc. can in general be pun
shed in the Federal courts only when
committed where the United States has
special jurisdiction.
1t follows. therefore. that such at
tempts to injure and destroy American
Industries must usually be prosecuted
by state authorities.
"These conditions, so destructive to
the commerce and labor of the United
States, require vigorous action on the
part of all agencies OF the state and
Federal governments. 1t is, therefore,
TO be earnestly hoped that state Of
fcials will be equally active.
II have instructed the agents of the
Department OF Justice. whenever they
discover evidence of violations Of state
criminal laws, to place the evidence at
the disposal of the local state officials,
and I assume that such officials will
cooperate in acquainting the Federal
ofcers with all information tending to
show the commission of Federal

played In the Teutonic conspiracy.
Many Of these men acted in the ca
pacity Of bribers, and, II is asserted,
their bribes were responsible for nearly
every strike Of workers In munition
plants.
Much of the evidence In the hands
Of the United States authorities con-
sists OF documents of the most incrimi-
mating character. One In authority
told a Tribune reporter yesterday that
the government had barrels Of papers
and documents" involving the conspirn-
tors.
Some of the most valuable papers
were obtained by the British nuthor-
ties when they seized John F. j. Archi-
bald. Ambassador Dumba's messenger,
on. the Holland-America liner Rotter-
dam, at Falmouth. England. The CON
tents of the more important OF these
documents have never been made pub
lie. and their nature is still kept Sc
cret.
Women Involved In Conspiracy.
In the governments possession are
the names not only Of the big men In
the conspiracy, but tho men OF humble
life intrusted with the actual commls-
sion Of the crimes.
Women, too, have played prominent
part in the conspiracy, and the lndlct-
rnent Of many Of them is expected.
Most of the evidence, II is stated,
was unearthed months ago, but action
was delayed on the orders of the Presi-
dent. who asked that hasty action be
not taken and that nothing but cases
that would hold be submitted 70 Fed
eral grand juries.
One of the hardest tasks of the Fed
eral agents was the tracing Of the
funds of the Teuton propagandists.
This has been done and evidence
against bankers has been obtained.
An example Of how this was done Is
shown in the case Of Lieutenant Fay,
admitted leader in the plot to blow up
ships carrying munitions to the Allies.
When Fay was arrested twenty-four
new $40 gold Treasury notes were
found on him. The serial numbers
were sent TO Washington and the bank
to which they we're issued was ascer-
tained through a reference to the hles
Of the Treasury Department.
Considerable attention has been
given to Fay. The Federal agents have
learned that he first came to this
country in 1908 and remained here
until the spring of 1909. In those six
years ne spent much Of his time in
Canada, Wisconsin, Illinois and on the
Texas border.
The trial of Karl Buenz, managing
director of the Hamburg-American
Line, and other officials of the steam
ship company, will start to-day before
Judge Howe, in the Federal court.
They are accused of having conspired
to supply German warships in North
and South Atlantic waters with coal,
foodstuiTs and other necessities. The
accused will be defended by William
Rand, jr. Edward Sandford and Howard
Cans. District Attorney Marshall Will
have charge of the prosecution, assisted

Medical Brotherhood Aims at
World Comfy After War.

Copenhagen, Nov. 2l.-Professor
Thorkild Rovsing, one Of the leading
surgeons of Denmark, who delivered a
series of lectures in the United States
few years ago, has invited the physi-
clans of this country to join the Medi-
cal Brotherhood, established in the
United States several months ago by
DR.. s. J. Meltzer, of the Rockefeller In
stitute for Medical Research. The
movement is said to have met with
ready support among Danish physicians.
DR.. s. j. Meltzer said yesterday that
the Medical Brotherhood was organized
last August with the object of pro-
noting international comfy through
closer association OF medical and
scientific men. The organization, he
said, had 5000 members in the United
States and other neutral countries, in
cluding Holland and Switzerland.
No effort had been made. Dr. Meltzer

Fitzgerald Asks Him to
Suggest Ways and
Means to Congress.
WILSON DISPOSED
TO AVOID SUBJECT
Will Devote This Week to Prep.
aration of His Third
Annual Message.
tFron IN. rrinuns Bureau.l

Washington, Nov. 2l.-President
Wilson was strongly urged tonight not
20 carry out his reported plan to let
Congress fight out the ways ald means
of raising revenue with no word of
guidance from him. John J. Fitzgerald,
chairman Of the House Appropriations
Committee, urged At some length in
talk with the President that in his
message to Congress Mr.. Wilson should
outline the mean. by which The revenue
could be raised, and preferably state
the one method or group OF methods
which he would rather have Congress
adopt.
Some Of the Presidents advisers, It
Is said, have pointed out that the mem
bers OF the House might resent as an
encroachment on their constitutional
power to initiate revenue measures
any suggestions from the executive
department as 70 how the money should
be raised.
Another reason for the Presidents
reported decision is that he has been
surprised at the opposition which has
developed among Senators and Repre-
sentatives TO his idea of meeting this
years difference between expenditures
and receipts by the issuance of S24O,-
100000 Panama Canal bonds. One re-
port is that the Presidents real plan
Is TO wait until Congress is in hope
less muddle over the means of raising
the revenue and then step in with the
suggestion that the bond issue be made.
As the issuance of these bonds does not
require Congressional action, but Is
optional with the Secretary OF the
Treasury, Congress might be delighted
after its long wrangle at not having to
settle the question at all.
Quotes Law to Wilson.
Mr. Fitzgerald told Mr. Wilson plain
", however, tlat he felt that the Presi-
dent was called on by law TO indicate
the means by which the money should
be raised. He called attention to a
rider on the sundry civil bill which d.
rected that the President should indi-
cate to Congress ways by which any
revenue which was needed in excess OF
normal receipts should be raised.
President Wilson will put aside prac-
tically al other public business this
week to devote his time to completing
his message. which he plans to read
personally at a joint meeting CT the
Senate and House on December 7. He
has given instructions that none except

that the selling price will decline be-
cause Of the cheaper methods of pro-

analogous 20 the production of gold,
diamonds or any other material that is

small quantities. Beyond doubt, the
mount of radium in nature is exceed

probable that the past rarity Of rsdium

the price Of the rsdium will largely de-
pend on the ability 10 procure the raw

Free Trade in the discard

The British chancellor of the ex-.
chequer has thrown his free trade
theories to the dogs and recommended
an increase in tariff duties in order
to raise more money for the war. He
proposes other taxes, but the higher
tariff is the most significant. for he
says that .sif by taxation we can re-
strict imports. reduce consumption
and bring revenue. we shall have
found the ideal fiscal system"
II he would omit the second of his
three characteristics of an ideal sys-
tenn. or revise it so as to call for de-
velopment of national industries. be
would have created a formula which
the soundest protectionists could not
improve.
The protective tariff differs from
all other taxes in that it serves a
double purpose. It produces revenue
for the government and it produces
work at high wages for the people.
It keeps in the country greater pro-
portion of the wealth produced than
any other taxation system ever de-
vised. old-fashioned British theories
have to be abandoned in this great
crisis. when expedients that will raise
real money must be found lest the ma
tion perish Philadelphia Public
