San Quentin, Cal, December 49,
The body of Antoine Lapara, who was
Hanged IN the prison here today for
a blackhand murder, will not give UP
its interstitial glands for the rejuven
alton of an aged inmate.
The announced plan of prison
physicians to remove Lapara's glands
and transplant them was prevented
by Mrs. Lapara, the dead prisoners
widow Although she had been offer
ed $4,000 for the glands, and had
been advised by her attorney to ac-
cept the money, she demanded that
the doctors abandon their plan to
use her husbands glands again.
Lapara was convicted of numbering
Mario Alliotti two years ago. Po-
lice declared .Lapara had been hired
by blackhand gang to murder Al
liotti and that he scarcely knew his
victim. After he had shot three bull

THEORY OF RELATIVELY
WHAT A CHICAGO MAN
THINKS ABOUT 1T
Suggestions Made BY Or. A. A.
Nicholson, University of
Chicago
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch.J


Chicago, December 1s.-Dr A. A.
Nicholson of the University of Chi
cGso says that anyone holding the
new Einstein theory of relatively
must also accept the following con-
clusicns:
"A yardstick is shorter when
1t is pointing east and west than
when it is pointing north and
south.
"a clock will run slower when
il is being moved than when it is
standing.
"A mass of matter is greater
when il is in motion than when
it is at rest"
Winner of Nobel Prize.
DR.. Nicholson was winner of the
$4,000 Nobel prize for physics in
1917. His Investigations in the nc
ton of light brought on the discus
sion leading up TO the Einstein tests
and hypothesis which have aroused
so much comment in the scientific
world.
DR.. Nicholson stated that the con-
sequences of the Einstein theory are
radica! and then. he told the effect il
would have on the yardstick, clock
and solid body. But he added that
we need net get excited about il,
even if Einstein is right

poses might be disregarded," he said.
The subject OF relatively belongs to
the realm of higher physics, but new

the Eiustein theory is 10 be serious
~ reckoned with"
Professor Nicholson, however, does
not as yet accept the theory as 1t Is
taught by the great Swiss mathe-
matician, because it does away with
the idea CT light travelling by means
OF the vibrations in ether which is
supposed to fill all space.
No Such Thinq-as Ether.
"Ein3tein thinks that there is no
such thing as ether declared the
Chicago professor. "Hc docs not at

OF light. but he holds that ether

stein theory all motion is relative.
However. believe il 10 possible,

pothesis. TO square it with the. ether
theory and the necessity of some me-
dium for the transmission of light.
