PROFESSOR HOPES
To ACTUALLY SEE
SUSPECTED PLANE
Member of Solar System Be-
leved To Be Outside Nep-
tune May Be Tracked TO
Its Lair.
rsy aoRs'sa o spse,Al LrAsto w,asi


Cambridge, Mass. Dec 25.-Pro-
fessor William II. Pickering, of the
Harvard astronomical observatory,
who is stationed at Vaudeville, ia
maica is now engaged in a search for
the planet which is supposed by as
and estimates that this undiscovered
member of the solar system is some
fifty-flve times as far from the sun
as is the earth, according to a state
ment made today by Professor Scion
l.. Bailey acting director Of the llar-
ward observatory.
Astronomers have suspected the
existence Of a planet outside Neptune
for at least fifty years" said profes-
SCR Bailey and since 1877 many OBJ
servers have tried to locate It The
usual method was TO study the perur
batiOns of Uranus and determine
from these what must be the situation
of the object which was DETECTING
Uranus from it's course In recent
years. Professor Pickering has studied
the perturbations of Neptune as well
and as a result has ascertaned what
he believes to be the approximate po-
sition of the new planet.
He has recently been engaged in
"A systematic study of photograph
plates of the area of the sky In which
he believes the planet to be situated.
His method is TO have telescope pho
tOgraphs Of a certain small section of
the heavens taken AT short intervals
and by placing the plates one on top
of another TO see If any of the minute
points recorded on the plates seem to
have moved.
ut is expected that the planet will
be in opposition to the sun this win
ter, and therefore, in a favorable po-
sition for observation. The exact date
for opposition by Professor Pickering
in an estimate was December 80, 1919.
II is thought that the planet will he of
about the fifteenth magnitude, which
means that 1t will prove to be several
thousand times too faint TO be seen
with the naked eye"

URGES PREPAREDNESS
OF AUSTRALIANS FOR
SELF-PR0TECTl0N

sydney, Australia, Dec. 25.-Sir Jo-
seph Cook, minister for the navy Is
urging military preparedness upon
Australians. At the annual meeting
of the navy league, he said
Spend your last dollar on prepar-
ing for a fight TO the last. We have
signed the peace. but Europe is still
full of mutual hatreds, even among
the allies. Until there is a general
movement for disarmament, as | hope
there soon will be, we must trust 10
the league of nations-and keep our
powder dry.
I'VE cannot afford to let the rifle
rust yet awhile, though we have a
league of nations which we hope will
fructify." he told the National Rifle
association. "Our rifles must be kept
we'll oiled, and you must be able TO
shoot them as in times gone by If this
country Is safe. We may yet need our
rifles here in Australia"
To the Women's Reform league, Sir
Joseph said Our hope must be CEN
tered in the league of nations. IL Is the
one great hope of the world, but II we
cannot make 1t effective in the near
future we had better get ready for the
next war, which will otherwise come
as surely as the sun rises"

Holden was president of the Chicago

THE roads should spend a billion

least a fiveyear period in order to
provide the country with an adequate
transportation machine. Extensions,
improvements and additional equip.
ment are sorely needed.
'On the legislation passed and the
action of the Interstate Commerce
commission allowing rate increases de-
pend the roads chances of getting

the roads To borrow. Financiers have
not had confidence in railroad securi-
ties because Of governmental attitude
toward them.
If there is q disposition to permit
them to earn revenue sufficient TO
warrant expenditures, they will have
no trouble in borrowing the necessary
money The fixing of date for the
return of the roads is a good thing.

FL Paso, Tex, Dec. 25.--Hundreds
of El Pasoans and tourists who plan
ned to visit Juarez. Mexico, today
where liquors of all kinds can be
bought, were turned back at the in
ternational bridge between the two
cities.
No temporary one-day passports
were issued today and the only per-
SONS allowed to cross the Rio Grande
were those holding permanent pass
ports giving permission to enter Mex
leo on Sundays and holidays
Whiskey and tequila. Mexican
drink, could be had at prices varying
from SIS to SIS a quart here today
from "bootleggers' If the seeker was
known to be "all right" Prices on
the contraband liquor had risen
sharply in price the last few days be-
cause of four deaths due TO shooting
affrays connected with whiskey
smuggling.
Mexican fiscal guards late yester-
day captured a lot of liquor that was
being started across the international
boundary for Christmas sale. They
said at prevailing prices the liquor
would have brought 100000 on the
American side. 1t is expected to be
sold by the Mexican customs service
for $4,000.
Juarez saloon keepers and cafe pro-
prietors had prepared for banner
Christmas day SO too had the gam
bling casino, but their hopes were
dashed when the American authorities
refused to keep the port open today
and issue temporary passports.
Yesterday and last night before the
international bridges were closed saw
many Americans cross to the Mexican
side for Christmas eve liquid refresh
ments and saloons in Juarez did a
rushing business.

SP AN|SH RADICALS
ALICE BETRAYAL
BY THEIR LEADERS


Barcelona, Wednesday, Dec. "a
Open revolt on the part of the rank
and file of the syndicalist movement
in Catalonia against their leaders
took form today when a pamphlet
appeared on the streets denouncing
those who have been in control of the
group.
The pamphlet asserts that since the
syndicalists were organized two years
ago, some six million pesetas have
been paid in dues, and claims that
3, 600, 600 pesetas were placed to the
credit of three syndicalist leaders in
Paris banks. 1t is charged further
that the chiefs of the movement, who
few years ago were workingmen,
now are In understanding with the
bureaucrats, whom they promised to
overthrow and are living in first-class
hotels and travelling in pullman cars,
The protest is being made publicly,
the pamphlet says because when the
question was raised at syndicalist
meetings, those protesting were told
they would be reported to the red
guards-flying squads of syndicalist
leaders.
Despite large Sims collected in
dues during the two years of the or
ganizations existence, according to
'the pamphlet only a few days has
been granted the workmen who now
are told the organization is without
funds.
Employers here have published a
manifesto in which they declare their
three weeks lockout was to show the
workmen the advantage of order and
discipline and to avoid condition OF
anarchy.
The manifesto states that as soon
as the general syndicalist organiza-
ton is dissolved the lockout will end.

Prices Declining, and Some
Hold That There Will Be
No Occasion For Increase
of Pay.


Washington, Dec. 25.-President
Wilson's proclamation returning the
railroads to private control March /,
lends a new aspect to wage problems
now before Director General Hines.
In the opinion of railroad admins
tration officials the presidents order
made public last night should tran
quilize the labor situation inasmuch
us the time of government control IS
extended by two full months. Union
officers who have been pressing for a
settlement of their demands before
the roads went back on The suppositlon
that the transfer would be made on
January l. the date originally set have
not indicated how the proclamation
: will affect their plans,
The only wage demands now before
Mr.. Hines are those of the 100000
shopmen, who were refused q general
increase of rs per cent last summer,
President Wilson and the director gen.
eral taking the position that the war
cycle of advancing wages and increas-
ing living costs must come to amend
and the government be given fair
chance TO compel return to normal
profits. President Jewell and the eX-
ecutive council of the six shop crafts
recently renewed their demands They
were asked to await an official report
by Attorney General Palmer since
made public, of the trend of prices
Prices Will BE 9Iower.
Mr.. Palmer's report showed that the
customary upward march of prices
during the fall months has been much
less this year than in the past, and
expressed the conviction that the next
two months would show substantial re-
suits in reducing the initiation of liv-
ing costs The cost of living question,
therefore still is unsettled in the minds
OF high government officials and WIZ
not be settled until after government
oantroi of TIL rati systems has exc
uired. 1t remains to be seen what
view the president and the director
general will take of the shopmen's re-
newed demands for more money In the
light of the attorney generals state
ment
1t is understood the shop workers.
were represented to be growing rest
less over the lack of action OF their
demands.
Demands of "a iroad clerks for
more money now are before the board
of railway wages and working condl-
lions, winch mas hol liulcot'u wiz"
report to the director general may Pei
expected.
Calls for More Contracts.
Extension of the time of federal
control will necesstate the placing or
additional contracts by the railroad
administration, inasmuch as purchases
up to this time generally have been
for delivery up to the end of the year
Some rails and ties will have to PEI
bought, also other materials for mann
tenance work. orders by Mr.. hines
for an inventory of materials on mana
as of January l will be changed tol
have the inventories as OF March l.
