the porch Of Metz cathedral

PROF WHEELER
DISCOVERS DYES

CHAPEL HILL, n. c., May 2O|
DIR. A. S. Wheeler, professor of
Organic Chemistry at the Univer-
sity Of North Carolina, has dis
covered three very important
dyes, the first to be discovered
at this institution and probably
the first in the South, it became
known here today. Although
DR.. Wheeler has been conducting
series Of experiments in his lab
oratory for sometime with a view
to the perfection Of his tests, it
was not known until today, ex-
cept by a few close friends, that
he had made such a valuable con
tribution to science.
Government examiners have as
sured DR.. Wheeler that nothing
stands III the way of patents be-
ing issued on the discovered dy-
es, pending which advice the lear
ned scientist has keep the matter
quiet. He also thinks that his
claims for patents are broad e
nough to cover certain fields in
which there is a certainty Of dis
covering several other important
dyes. His discovery takes rank
with the most important Of the
recent discoveries Of science, anC
will lead to still great activity
along this line, it is believed.
In addition to the three dyes
already discovered, DR.. Wheeler
is responsible for the statement
that three more are already il
sight Of determination.
Further significance is added
to this most important discovery
when the fact that relatively
very few dyes have been discov
cred in the United States i.
brought in for consideration
which situation is not only true
Of this country, but also Of Eng
land, France, and Switzerland
which, like America, were almos
entirely dependent upon Ger
many who led the world in th'
discovery Of new dyes previou
to the war.

with white elephant. The man re-

reject it, neither could he sell it or kill

plant was regarded as sacred thing.
So all the man could do was keep the
elephant and feed it, and eventually

RUINS IN BELGIUM
VISITED BY PESSOA
BraxiPs President Elect IL
Guest of King and Queen.
BY the Associated Press.


PARIS, May 14.-Dr. Epitacio Pessoa,
President-eIect Of Brazil and chairman
Of the Brazilian peace delegation, has
Just returned from Belgium. where he
was entertained by the King and Queen,
who supplemented the usual official cour-
tesies by conducting him on n trip
through the devastated regions. Com
menting on his visit, he said:
Their Majesties were most gracious.
but I was also touched by the thought
fulness Of Cardinal Mercier, who received
me at Maiines."
DR.. Pessoa's call ON the Cardinal was
made the occasion OF the first ringing OF
the church bells since the war began.
Instead of the usual Ginning he was
surprised to hear the Brazilian national
anthem.
Both DR.. Pessoa and his wife, who ac-
companied him, were deeply impressed
by the devastation OF the country. DR..
Pessoa, who Is said to be the first Presi-
dent OF South American State to be
the guest of a European ruler received
from King Albert assurances OF his sat
isfaction over such an event. Both ex-
pressed the hope that the relations be-
tween the two countries would be further
strengthened, the King calling attention
to the fact that Brazil was the first
South American country formally to pro-
test against the violation OF Belgian
neutrality.

Ing the burdens OF wealth and putting
the load on the country's consumption is
not our idea OF the right way. 1t Is not
a question OF tariff. either We are all
protectionists. But on the general pro-
gramme OF raising the great revenue we
are unable TO agree with Mr. Penrose.
1T has been persistently asserted
lately that the fight against Penrose has
petered out and will amount to nothing.
We'll, the people who are saying that
VIII discover how badly they have been
mistaken when the real issue is reached"
Although to-day's conference was be-
hind closed doors there is demand from
the Progressives that the later one at
winch tho committee on committees will
report shall be open to the newspaper
men 80 that the whole case OF the in
surgents may be understood by the

VIII attend only with the understanding
they are not bound by its action and
some will not attend at all. Mr.. Borah
undoubtedly will be the chief spokes-
man OF the anti-Penrose sentiment, but
he will not be the only one
The overwhelming majority of Repub-
leans being regular the regular slate
with Penrose and Warren will 20
through this conference. But its way
In the Senate will be harder.
Old Time Rule to He SPRING.
The ordinary procedure in organizing
the Senate has for years been to con-
solidate the Republican and Democratic
reports of the committee on committees
and adopt the entire committee list with
one viva voce vote. But this time there
Will be no such easy unanimity.
The parliamentarians of all sides have
been studying the Senate rules lately and
some commotion was made to-day by the
discovery that the rule regarding cleo
ton of the committees, long honored
rather In breach than in observance, re-
Quired a separate vote by ballot on each
committee chairman. Even among vet
Grams nobody could be found who re-
membercd when that procedure had been
followed.
But the rule is plain as good plea
print can make II thus:
Rule XIV. Appointment OF COM
mlttees: In the appointment of the
standing committees the Senate I'M
less otherwise ordered shall proceed
by ballot to appoint severally the
chairman~of=each committee and then
by one ballot the other members nee
essary to complete the same. A
majority of the whole number of
votes given shall be necessary to the
election of the chairman Of a stand
ing committee. but a plurality of
votes shall elect the other members
thereof. All other committees shall
be appointed by ballot unless other
