OPINION EXPECTED TO
TO BE GIVEN TO-DAY
On Mandamus CaSe Brought by Gov.
Hartness for PRONUNCIATION
of Law.

Opinion was divided at the State
House to-day regarding the outcome Of
the mandamus suit brought by Cover
nor james Hartness against Secretary
Of State Black, asking the promulga
ton Of the laws enacted at the recent
session Of the Vermont legislature Ma
jorfty sentiment seemed TO be in favor
Of the belief that the defense would
win and that the legislature would
have to come back and re-enact the
laws which Governor Hartness signed
after the adjournment of the legisla
ture. There was at least one official,
however. who stuck to the belief there
would be no special session.
An opinion in the case was looked
for on Friday The preparation of the
opinion is nearly completed and the
copying Of the same is under way. The
justices Of the supreme court reached
Montpelier this afternoon and will CON
slider the opinion a. prepared by Jus.
tice Taylor.

TREATING CANCER BY RADIUM.
First Demonstration IN Vermont of the
New Remedy.

Treatment of cancer by radium wa;
instituted in Barre last night when the
first patient of long waiting list wa:
subjected to the influence of the rays
OF the mineral The radium used was
part of a $1,000 shipment, which was
received in the city yesterday and de.
posted in the vault Of the Quarry Saw
ings Bank & Trust Go. for sfe.keeping
This is said TO be the first radium
to be brought into Vermont The radi'
um came from Washington, d. c.
where it had been tested, weighed and
measured by the L, S. bureau of stand
ards. The radium is contained in min.
ute containers and, put altogether, is
smaller thansa diamond.
Treatment is given by applying the
container to the cancer. the rays of
the mineral being strong enough to
penetrate twelve inches of steel. II
takes several hours for a treatment,
depending on rhe nature Of the can
cerous growth; and the healing effects
are said to appear a few weeks later,
if at all. No claim is made that radi-
um is a never-failing cure for cancer.
In successful cases there is gradual
shrinking of tn. growth and il there
was pain or discharge these latter
symptoms are relieved Cures are eff
fected by the starvation method-that
is starvation Of the disease.
DR.. c. F. Robinson OF Barre is the
possessor OF the radium and is giving
the treatments. DR. Robinson came
here recently from Williamstown,
where he has been engaged in general
practice. Lately he has been studying
radium in its medical aspects at New
York hospital He proposes to hold
clinics at the City hospital from time
10 time as the occasion demands DR..
Robinson is graduate of the medical
college Of the University of Vermont,

London, April IA (By the Associated
Press A conference to-day between
Prime Minister Lloyd George and a
delegation of officials of the triple al
lance, which has called strike for to-
morrow night in support of the strik
ing miners, was concluded within two
hours without any progress apparent
ly having been made toward an adjust
ment of the grave labor situation.
1t was reported from the conference
that the prime minister made long
statement appealing strongly to the
railwaymen and transport workers,
who with the miners make up the
triple alliance. asking them to exer
else restraint and not precipitate a
crisis.
The plea. however, appears to have
had no effect J IT, Thomas, general
secretary of the National Union Of
Railwaymen, declared after the con
ference that he could see no prospect
for the re.opening of negotiations for
an adjustment of the strike situation.
On the government side it was said
the labor men were unable to present
new arguments giving the government
any different view of their case, while
the government, it was understood, did
not indicate that it was prepared to
make any further concessions.
Thus the situation early this after.
