WILL ATTEMPT TO SIGNAL MARS
Amherst College Scientist VIII At
temps Signalling April 23.

Omaha, Neb., April 14.-The at
tempt by Prof. David Todd, Of Am
herst College, to signal Mars from q
balloon, will be made April %, ac-
cording to IN announcement by a.
Leo Stevens, balloon expert at Fort
Omaha, whose gas bag will be used
In the effort. The professor suggest
ed next week because Mars will then
be nearest the earth.
In a telegram to Lieut.. Col. Jacob
Wuest, commander Of Fort Omaha,
Prof. Todd referred to the apparatus
he will use to ascertain whether
sound waves or ether disturbances
are coming from the far away planet
and whether they are electrical or
otherwise.
The tests will be made with a re-
corder that he has worked on for
several years. The device carries
records sensitive to all atmospheric
waves, and which will hold impress
sions made In such form that they
may be studied when the balloon has
returned to the earth.
TO ascertain the chemical compo-
sition Of the air at each altitude
small vacuum containers will be car
ried. These will be opened at vari-
Gus attitudes and the air collected.
1t will be subjected to an analysis
after the balloon has descended.
Dust particles in the atmosphere
will be examined by means of appa-
ratus furnished by Prof. R.W. Wood,
Of Johns-H opkins University,
Experts from the Rockefeller IN
stitute r preparing methods for
studying the pathological and physi-
illogical properties held In the upper
air. The bearing OF pressure changes
on cures Of various diseases, they
said, will be Of especial interest.
1t Is hoped by studying the upper
air strata to get new facts bearing on
the origin Of hot and cold waves, ty-
phoons, cyclones and tornadoes. Pilot
Stevens expects to reach a height Of
$4,000 feet.

Lepers worked in cheese factories,
grocery stores and tobacco factories,
and as coachmen, school teachers and
clerks. Quietly the government OPEN
ed its colony at Culion and brought
there all the lepers in the territory.
An experimental laboratory was set
up, Chaulmoogra oil was discovered,
and through its use 23 lepers we're
discharged as cured in 1915.

ROAD ACT PASSES
Large Majority for Amendment
in Tuesdays Election.
Vote on Farm Tenantry and
Tax Was Close.

The good roads amendment to the
state constitution voted on in Tues
days election has carried by a large
majority, while the farm tenantry and
tax amendments are very much in
doubt, according to incomplete returns
from forty counties tabulated today
by w. c. Markham. secretary of the
state highway commission.
Markham estimated the majority in
favor of good roads will be 100000 to
150.0 900. Seventeen counties complete
give 10000 for. and S6.717 against.
Twelve additional counties, including
Wyandotte, Shawnee and Sedgwick,
have reported majorities of 45,426.
The total majority in the twenty-nine
counties is 49,612.
On the farm tenantry amendment
returns from thirteen counties give
1924 for and 36.S11 against. The
twelve large counties, however, which
give large majorities to the good roads
and from which no fig
ures are available for the other two
may overcome the negative majority
Mr.. Markham said.
The same thirteen counties give for
the tax amendment 26,765 for and
38,120 against, which would indicate,
Markham pointed out, that this
has the least chance for
success.
The fate of the amendments prob
ably will not be definitely known for

Washington, Nov. 6.-President Will
son is understood to have no intention
of pardoning Eugene V. Debs, who is
serving a ten-year sentence in the fed
eraI prison at Atlanta for violation of
the espionage act.
The position taken by the president,
according to those who profess to
know his views. is that executive Glenn
ency in such a case would set a bad
precedent and would encourage others
to oppose the government in the event
of another war.
Debs was convicted at Cleveland on
September -. 1918. on three counts.

to incite insubordination and disloyalty
in the military and naval forces. at
tempting to obstruct recruiting and ut
tering language tending to incite, pro-
woke and encourage resistance to the
United States and to promote the
cause of the enemy.
A pardon for Debs and others con-
victed of violating the espionage act
has been urged by a number of or
carnations. including the American
Federation of Labor. which at its last
annual convention at Montreal named
a committee TO confer with Attorney
General Palmer on the matter.
