NEW YORK PLANS

Special Committee Prepares
Evidence for Grand Jury.
City Is RansaCked to Get
Names of Agitators.

NEW YORK, July 25.-The advisable
ity of asking Gov. Smith TO call an
extraordinary session Of the legislature
to enact drastic laws to curb radical
foreign language Of newspapers in this
state, as well as the dissemination of
Bolshevik literature, Is under consider
alton by the Lusk committee, which is
investigating seditious activities, 1t was
| learned yesterday. The legislative com
| mittee held a secret session on Friday
at which the, matters were discussed,
but no decision was reached at that
| time. The committee will not resume
hearings until Thursday. "7~
1t was said by members Of the com
cittee that the investigation so far. has
shown that the foreign language news
papers are the chief medium OF an
archist propaganda. The difficulty in
formulating such legislation, however
to the legitimate foreign Language
press. Members of the committee be-
lieve that the avs could be so drawn
as tc avoid this difficulty.
If 1t should be decided to request the
governor to call a special session the
committee would present a preliminary
report and ask a further appropriation
to extend it's work. The committee be-
lieves that the regulation of the for
eign language press is purely a state
matter and that the state should tackle
the problem seriously. The fact that
the federal government has failed tc
prosecute some of the radical newspa-
pers and publications in this city which
have been denied the privilege of the
mails but still enjoy a local circulation,
demands drastic state laws to curb
their activities, In the opinion of the
committee.

of the supreme court, advocated the
temporary injunction he had issued re-

The new ruling continues the show

vacates the temporary injunction that
was to have been operative until that

before the justice by Samuel A. Ber-

tended that the supreme court had no
right to tie the hands of any Of the
state officers, boards or legislative
committees in an ex parte proceeding.

Interesting Picture.

A photograph of the N taken with
a spectroheliograph reveals a number
of interesting things. 1t shows the
notified appearance of the sun, which
is just barely p~erceptible in an ordi-
nary telescope. The bright spots of
the nothing turn out to be the tops
of flames. and the dark spots the holes
between. The bright patches, or fac
ulae, as they are called, appear as ele-
waited portions of the suns surface,
showing that they are great clouds
Of gases being blown up from below.
The spots appear as black holes lead
ing down into the sun, Their whirl-
pool structure is apparent, There are
long ropes of dark gases twisting and
writhing as they are sucked In, while
thousands of little ~faculae. about show
the directions in which the whirlpool
winds are rushing.
Such photographs explain what has
long been suspected, that sunspots are
the source of those clouds of electric
ally charged particles which OCCASION
ally sweep by the earth, producing
auroras, magnetic and electrical
storms.
The sun. being made largely OF iron,
Is a magnet. The gases on its surface
are of metal, too, and, of course. are
good conductors of electricity. When
an electrical conductor whirls in a
magnetic field, as the gasses around a
spot are known to do, a great dynamo
Ia created. and an electric current pours
out from it, shooting off into space like
a gigantic spoke. 1t Is a stream of
such electritions which produce our
northern lights when they touch the
| earth. -Chicago Tribune. "

Work Is Difficult.

1t is almost as difficult to make a
photograph Of the sun as it is to make
a drawing. The shutter OF a solar
camera consists OF a flat sheet of brass
with a narrow slot cut in it, sliding
almost in contact with the plate, 1t is
pulled back with a little winch, for the
springs which shoot it across the plate
must be powerful. The astronomer
watches the sun through a smaller
guiding telescope. and when the air
stands still for an instant he pulls the
trigger. But even one ten-thousandth
of a second direct exposure is suf-
ficient to o~verexpose the slOwest plate.
The most satisfactory means of get
ting a picture of the sun is to take 1t
with a special device known as a spec
t~roheliograph. A spectroheliograph Is
a combination of lenses, prisms, a cam
era, and moving track, The suns
image is thrown upon IT with a tele-
scope, and 1t automatically photo
graphs the disc in one particular color
The light generally selected is in the
blue or violet, for it is well known that
blue light is geographically the most

PHOTOGRAPHING Of
SUN IS DIFFICULT.
However, Photography Has
Done Much to Clear Solar
Long Time Mysteries.

The study Of the sun is attended by
nnnsual difficulties. Its heat, when
condensed by even a small lens, is SUI
fieient to ignite many substances. No

through an unprotected telescope be-
cause, il he did. his eyeball would be
burned and blinded in a brief fraction
Of a second. Even color screens, il
too thin. often allow so much light to
come through that some of the color
recording nerves of the retina are in
jured, and a sort of color blindness is
produced.
1t is for this reason that unusual
precautions must be taken when study
ing the sun. Smoked glass screens
combinations of reflectors, and similar
devices are used to absorb the excessive
heat, but ever with all these measures.

Because of the necessity for so many
precautions. making drawings Of the

BRITISH TITLE
OFFERED FOR
CASH PAYMENT
National Party Charges
Titles Bestowed for
Political Reasons

LONDON, July 24-(Correspond-
ence of The Associated Press)-The
tender spot in the British political
life today is the dispensation of
titles. These are awarded, of course,
by the King, but on the nomination of
the Prime Minister, and the criticism
of reformers is that titles have been
given for long time and by various
Prime Ministers for purely party sell
vices and practically bought by con-
tributions to party funds.
The House of Lords has peculiar
interest in this matter because the
old, noble families are jealous of
having their caste lowered by the ad-
dition of the newly rich and purely
rich to the orders of nobility.
The question was threshed out last
year and there was a general under
standing that hereafter when honors
were announced The reason for their
bestowal should be published. This
has been done in form but it is al
legged not in substance, because sew
eral much criticized honors in the
last list were described as for public
services" which might mean almost
anything.
The new National Party, which has
a few members in the House of
Commons has taken up the question.
The Chairman, General PAGE Croft,
has written to the newspapers pro-
posing to prove before any judicial
committee that since 1910 one mem
Der of Parliament has rejected an of
fer of title in return for cash pay
mcnt to party funds and That the
father of a member of the House Of
Commons was offered a baronetcy for
$4,000 pounds.
He charged also that member of
Parliament who was created Peer
after the beginning of the var sub
scribed shortly afterward a very
large sum of money to a newspaper
that supports the Premier.
He mentions also instances IN
which he says titles were granted to
politician of so notorious char
acter as to be regarded as unfit to be
a candidate for Parliament, to an
other politician regarded as unscru-
pulous and to a third man "previous-
ly involved in a notorious social
scandal"
General Page Croft offered to
prove all his charges.
