Gravity Can Be Reduced,
Says California Scientist
Researches of Professor See
Confirm Maiorana Claim
of ssScreening''

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 5.-~Profcssor
+. J. See, Marc island. California, in
un address before the California Acad
emy off Sciences tonight, announced
that his researches on grav1tation in
1917 and his latest researches on mo-
lcculor forces confirmed the claims re-
Gently put forth by Professor Maio-
rama. of Rome, that a screening of
gravitation has been shown to exist.
"In 1917" said Professor Soc, ~ ex-
planned the fluctuations Of the moons
mean motion by the circular refraction
Of the suns gravitation waves as they
are propagated through the solid body
Of our earth at the time of lunar
eclpses. Some months back, before
Professor Maiorana announced his re-
suits at Rome, I found, in dealing with
capillary forces, that quicksilver is
very resistant to the waves which
produce molecular action, and this de-
velopedsa new theory Of the depression
of the mercury in capillary tubes.
"1t seems absolutely certain that a
screening effect in gravitation is shown
by eclipse phenomena connected with
the motion Of the moon and By the de
pressiona of columns of mercury in
capillary phenomena. This confirms
Maiorana's claim that basin Of mer-
curry beneath a suspended mass o. lead
may decrease the gravltation Of the
lead by Il small amount.
MY researches on ether show con-
clusively that gravitation is due to
waves in the ether and certain verv re-
sistant bodies in the line Of action
may thus introduce slight screening
effect" "

One-Man Raid Thrills
Chinatown "Slun,mers''

Chinatown had rs first gambling raid
for long time last night. to the de-
lght OF patrons of slum seeing buses
aid the hiSh-pitchod Indignation Of
twenty-sevcn Cclestials, who were ar
rested at | Bowery by Detective Ben
Bailey, the one-man raiding party.
It's too bad the slum- ekers couldn't
have seen Ren Bailey, his coat collar
turned up and his hatbrim turned
down. sneaking up the stairs in the
wake Of three Chinese. They would
have appreciated also the workmanlike
manner i'll which Ben Bailey tripped u
lookout and showed him down 8 fight
OF stairs just as he wGs about to press
q button which would have sounded an
alarm in the room above.
But no up-to~date slum- shower will
deny his patrons in the future the de-
light of gazing upon such a barbed
wire gate as doughty Ben Bailey found
suspended like a portcuilis at the en-
trance to the room where Chinese were
seated ct tables playing what Ben
Bailey declares were wicked Chinese
games with money as the stakes
Several hundred thrill hunters act
us'ly did hear Ben Bailey's piercing
whistle and the answering clat;er Of
the patrol wagon. which took mis- nris-
oners TO the Elizaoeth Street etation.

u. S. Is Not Expected
TO Get New Cardinal

ROME, Nov. Sit is considered Ah-
solutelv certain in Rome that no new
American cardinal win be chosen at
the consistory to be held in December.
although the Pope, even at the last
moment before the Consistory, can
decide to create some new cardinal
not mentioned before
In this Consistory, the nrst after
the war, it is believed the pcntifT
wishes to give proof of special benevo-
lence 60 Poland. which. after long
subjection and many sutferings, has
finally been reunited. Thus it is un-
derstood, besides elevatirg the Arch
bishop Of Warsaw, the Pope will also
raise the Archbishop Of Gneisen to the
cardinalate. A new Spanish cardinal
also has been Yumored, but there Is
no confirmation.

u. S. Employment Service Finds
Jobs For 1000 Men Each Day

That the people at home are appre-
ciative Of what the soldier did during
the war Is exemplified by their en-.
thusiasm in supporting the returning
Soldiers and Sailors National Blu
reaus for finding jobs for the jobless
men In the army and navy when they
are discharged.
Owing to Congress failure to pro-
vide the necessary funds for the
maintenance Of the United States EN-
plOyment Service, had 1t not been for
the loyal support of welfare organfza-
tions, state and city municipalities,
civic and trade bodies, churches and
many others, the Service would have
been curtailed 80 per cent and the
major part Of the work of finding Jobs
for soldiers and sailors would have
had to be discontinued. So prompt
and SO generous, however, was the
response Of those interested in seeing
that the returning soldier was placed
in Q good position that before the
date when all but Sc Of the $50 en-
ployment 0ffices we're slated to 20,
private funds were contributed for
the maintenance OF more than 400 Of
the original 750.
Probably the largest contribution
for the maintenance of the Employ
ment Service was that OF J. p. Nor
gan and Company, who, on learning
of the threatened curtailment of the
Federal Service, authorized the Fed
eral Director OF the State of New
York to draw upon 1t to the extent
of 100000.
In making the contribution and
expressing its willingness to assist
the Service, j. p. Morgan and Co.
said:
we are impressed with the Inn
portahce of the United States Employ
ment Service and quite agree with you
that 1t would be most unfortunate
that the Service should now be cut
down. owing to the failure of the
Deficiency Bill in the last Congress.
You have informed US that it
must be cut down, unless you can
obtain up to 100000 between now
and the first of July Of this year. In
order to avoid this. we will pay at
such time as you call upon US between
now and July 1st, such amounts az
you may need to continue the Service
up to 100000"
With other contributions coming
from every part of the United States
for the aid of the returning soldier
and sailor in finding employment the
work of the Federal machine for Dlac-
Ing returning soldiers and sailors will
be continued.
