RESIGN COP. TICKET

INDIANAPOLIS, July 1.-The re-
tirement of Ora J. Davies OF Kokomo
nominee for treasurer Of state. from
the Republican ticket at an early date
was predicted in party circles Thurs
day 1t is understood that Senator
James e. Watson, who conferred with
party leaders at his headquarters IN
the Knights Of Pythias building, was
requested to assist in bringing about
an amicable settlement of the Davies
case. Mr.. Davies has been known as
a supporter of Senator Watson and
the Watson forces in the state conven-
ton were largely responsible for his
nomination.
It is known that several OF the can
didates on the state ticket are taking
the stand that the kokomo man
should resign, but they have been in.
formed that the question can not be
handled by the state committee. While
party leaders regret that Mr.. Davies
has been placed in an unfavorable
light because he was compelled to
make settlement with the state
board of accounts for an alleged short
age Of $4,000 incurred while treasurer
Of Howard county, yet they declare
that he has been made unavailable for

ASTRONOMY STILL Ar FAULT

The celebrated observatory at Green
wich the place from which we reckon
longitude, was founded by Charles III
In 1873, mainly for the purpose of In
vestlgating the movements Of the moon
In the interests OF navigation. Although
in the Intervening two and Il half CEN
turtles astronomers have worked Mt the
problem the moon has not yet become
entirely nmenabe to their mathcmat-
les. In a recent report Of the obser'
vatory ut Greenwich attention Is In
vited to the increasing deviation be-
tween the calculated position Of the
moon in the sky and its real position
shown by the Greenwich observations.

In serious manner. The error last
year was more than twelve times MS
large rs the error twenty years ago,
and the average annual Increase dur
ing tho two decades has amounted TO

reason that astronomers have failed

tons based on the dynnmicM laws of
gravitation IL possibly the existence
of some attractive force that they have
not yet discovered, although the result
may also be affected by the true shape
of the earth, which still awaits ac'
