BUSINESS MEN ARE
FOR PURCHASE BILL
Four Thousand Asked to Help Fight
1t But Only Eleven Con-
tribute.

WASHINGTON, Feb 20. TEST
mOny before the senate investigating
committee saturday showed very
plainly there was little sympathy
among business men with the fight to
defeat the ship purchase bill.
Wallace DOwney of New York, or
ganizer of the United States Merchant
Marine association, told the commit
tee he had sent out 1000 circular let
ters to business men and OrganiZa-
tions asking them to join the associa-
ton and contribute $4,000 each to be
used in a campaign Of education
against the bill. Among this large
number he admitted he received only
II contributions of SO each. Later
friend to pay postage on some of his
literature and the outlook was so
gloomy that he was compelled to give
up his campaign.
In the course of his testimony
Downey said that practically all mari
time exchanges, chamber of COM
merce and other commercial bodies in
the Atlantic coast cities were honey
combed" by agents of foreign ship
ping interests who obtained control
and dictated the character of resolu-
lions adopted. This he argued gave
congress a wrong idea of the real
views of such exchanges on matters
pertaining to the American merchant
marine.
Owing to the absence from the city
for several days of Sen. Reed of Mis-
souri, the hearings were postponed
until Thursday next.

Grey, who was one Of NOtre Danes

quaintances and warming up with his
big mitt and a real baseball, the
spring-like weather giving Dolly

Grey will remain here about a week

views as 10 what the legislature should
do on the subject, it was said. When
\ the final vote came il was apparent
/ at once that the stage was all set for
! the passage Of the bill in the house.
The senate now has the primary
election nut for its own private crack
ing, whichever way IL decides TO do IT.
Pass Amendments.
The house also got out of a bad
tangle when it passed the two bills
providing for amendment to the pres
ent registration law 10 compel per-
manent registration Of voters. An
underground fight had been going on
for some days over this situation. The
house caucus had appointed a special
committee TO draft such a bill and
Reps FeicB, Deck and Fulton had
attached their names 10 a measure
that had been agreed on by the demo-
cratic caucus. Then Reps. Dragoo
and Kemp, the latter chairman of the
house elections committee. had intro
duced a bill, the result of conferences
between the joint elections commit
tees of both houses. The members Of
these houses believed that the house
caucus, when it took the registration
question out of their hands. had over
stepped the bonds of courtesy and
precedent-hence the second bill,
carrying practically the same provis-
ions as the house caucus bill The af-
firmatiVe vote on this bill was smaller
than on the house caucus measure,
but it was enough to pass the bill.
Then it was explained that the prob
lem of the two bills would be put up
TO the senate and a decision made
there.
The house late Friday night passed
the Rule red light" bill, which seeks
TO abate resorts by methods of in
functions against resort property own
ers. The passage of this bill was a
distinct surprise to those who had
been watching legislation here and it
is believed the measure only was al
lowed to go through the house to meet
certain death in the senate.
The upper house has passed Is of
the % amendments to the conStitu-
ton and these are ready for house ac-
ton now. Ii is probable that most of
them will be passed.
Sen. Kinder's bill giving cities in
Lake county the power TO condemn
land necessary to the governments
plan TO make the Calumet river nav
igable and turn the condemned land
over to the United States was passed
this afternoon by the senate, 80 to 0.
By a vote of &C to u the house to-
day passed the appropriation bill.
Rep. Niblack IN a speech on the bill
rebuked the house for the manner
in which the appropriations bill was
'1ncubated' and voted against the
measure.

MANUFACTURE OF
RAOlUM EXPLAINED
Father Mcguire Delivers an Interest
ing Address at Meeting OF
Chemical Society.

"Out OF 500 tons of uranium ore
but 00607 ounce Of radium is pro-
duced," said Father Mcguire of Notre
Dame, in his lecture on "Radium"
last night at the regular meeting of
the st. Joseph Chemical society in the
Lexington Tea room of the j. NJ. s.
building.
a number of slides were also shown
by Father Mcguire in addition TO the
lecture. He showed by the slides the
way in which the radium is manufac-
tured. The ore must be taken through
series of crystalizations and run
through a number of furnaces at a
certain heat to be extracted from the
other metals. The price of radium is
nigh as the other metals that are TAX
en- from the uranium ore in order TO
get the radium is valueless. The larg-
est concern today that manufactures
radium is at Pittsburgh, Ia. The out
put OF this factory in one year was
shown by Father Mcguire by picture
on the canvas in a small dish two
inches in diameter and but one inch
deep. Chemistry scientists find from
the heat in the earth that there are
40 tons of pure radium in the bowels
of the earth. They find that one mil
limeter of radium sends off 1874 calor-
les of heat.
Although radium has been known To
man since 1898 ii is not we'll under
stood by them yet. BY the produc-
ton of radium all chemistry has been
upset, both chemical and physical
theories and all of these have had to
be changed TO conform with radium.
All the radium produced up TO the
present time in the world would easily
go into a half pint jar.
Dinner was served preceding the
lecture to the 20 members present.

The first stage of the lombard

noon. BY that time Essamidieh and
Kun Kalesi had been destroyed. 1t
was reported that a magazine in one

the European side Fort Hegroul was

NEWMAN OFTEN MISJUDGED
WiIfred Ward Discusses Cardinals
Life at NOtre Dame.

College students and large audi
ence of local people heard Wilfred
Ward yesterday at Notre Dame on the
life of Cardinal Newman.
The speaker questioned the right
of critics who have not seen the depth
of Newman's mind and his works, de-
claring that he has been misjudged.
He said that some critics nave called
him a diletante but that the man was
far from a deSultOry observer and
thinker as his most original writings
will show. Another attribute given to
Newman by the speaker was his fac
ulty of putting the deepest subjects
into common phraseology, eliminating
all scientific terms.
