been definitely accepted, Naval obser-
vatory officials asserted, but the fact
that spots on the sun usually are ac-
eompanied by electrical disturbances
has resulted in almost general &C
ceptance of the theory
The spots which now are present on the
face of the sun and which were visible
today with the use of a smoked glass,
were first photographed at the Naval
Observatory last Monday. when the ro-
tation Of the sun brought that side OF
the solar body within view. The spots at
that time, according to DR.. G.. II. Peters.
an official at the observatory, who
photographed them, were about one
and a half to two days old. The fol-
lowing day the photographs showed
the spots to be much agitated, the
gaseous vapors of which they are com
posed resembling cyclonic storm on
the earth, DR.. Peters said. Yester-
days photograph, taken about noon,
showed the spots to be pear the solar
meridian.
Naval Observatory officials said that
the existence Of such large group Of
spots at this time was most unusual
inasmuch as the prevalence of the
spots moves in an eleven-year cycle and
the apex of prevalence occurred about
four years ago.

Tested by Rhymes
MISUNDERSTANDING
Must Tell Difference Be-
tween Stone and Egg and
What to Do When You

BEDFORD, n. Y May 15.-The ques-
tionnairs used In testing the mentality
Of the inmates of the State Reforma-
tory for Women here was made public
to-day by Major Amos T. Baker, su-
perintendent Of the institution. It is
the contention of the superintendent,
who is psychiatrist, that any woman
or girl under his care who has sufficient
wits to answer majority of the qncs-
tons is mentally responsible foc her
actions.
Major Baker has ruled that prisoner
of Bedford who has mentality Of
normal twelve-year-old child, or higl1eE,
should be made to answer for her de-
pertinent and punished IL she misbe-

believes should be adjudged deficient ard

inclusive
To be included in the six-year-old
class an inmate must tell Major Baker
or his assistant what to do if she IS
going somewhere and misses her car.
To qualify for a seven year-old rat
ing she must distinguish the differ
ences between fy and butterfly; a
stone and an egg; wood and glass
To meet the qualifications of the
eight-year-old group, the inmate must
explain what TO do when she has broken
something that belongs to some one
else.
The nine-year-old test requires the
inmate to give three words that rhyme
with day" with mill" and with
spring" She must also name the
months and tell how to make change
in denominations of money not to e

Inmates having mental age of ten

of State Police Forces
Two Fires Laid to Plot

Tug River; Rifles and
Ammunition Are Seized

WILLIAMSON, W. Va. Nav Il a
period of thirty minutes Of shootine
at Merrimac, w. Va, was the extent
Of hostilities in the West Virginia
Kentucky border battle tonight a.
cording to Captain j. r. Brockus. Of
the state police, who returned from
the zone of operations shortly before
midnight. After examining renorts
from the Mingo region, the CAPTAIN
said that at that hour the situation
was quiet.
Captain Brockus and a squad of
state troopers left Williamson for
Merrimac early tonight when it was
reported that shooting from the Ken
lucky mountains opposite that village
had been resumed. Before the state
police reached Merrimac they were ad-
vlsed that the firing had ceased, and
the party returned to this city.
Rifle Fire Returned
Sheriff A. c. Pinson said that his
reports indicated that the shots from
the kentucky hills had been answered
by rlfiemen on the West Virginia side.
While the West Virginia troopers re-
turned to headquarters here, six Ken
lucky deputy sheriffs continued their
trip into the mountains in an effort to
capture the attackers who fired into
Merrimac.
The shooting at Merrimac and the
firing of single shot at Matewan, W
Va, early in the morning, was the sum
total of hostilities to-day.
Seventy-five National Guardsmen ar
rived here from Moorshead, XIV.
this morning and were immediately
posted at points of vantage on the
Kentucky side of the stream. They took
Carr.
Captain W. E. Proctor is in command
of a detachment of twenty-five men at
McCarr; Captain David Thompson had
like force opposite Sprigg, West Va.
Lieutenant Fred See had fourteen men
at Borderland and a squad of eight
men were stationed at Pond Creek, east
Of this city. About thirty-five more
Kentucky troops are expected 70 at
rive on later train.
Mountaineers Break Truce
Reports tonight from McCarr were
that the mountain fighters at that point
were scrupulously observing the truce
arranged last night by DR.. William
Dotson, of Freeburn, KY, who went
into the hills and delivered his mes
sage of peace to the mountain men.
Reports received by authorities here
were that only one shot was fired from
the West Virginia mountains during
the day.
Two fires, which Harry olmstead,
acting chairman of the labor commit
tee of the Williamson Coal Operators
Association, said he believed had been
caused by incendiaries, occurred in
that region. A small Office of the Pond
Creek Coal Company at Sprigg and a
garage of the Burnwell Coal Company
az the same place were burned.
Bloodhounds have been sent to the
scene in an effort to trace persons who
might have been responsible.
Captain Brockus received a report
late to-day from his men at Merrimac
that they had found an automatic rife,
three other rifles and 1000 rounds of
ammunition in front of a tent colony
near there. The troopers reported that
the arms and ammunition were thrown

Sun to Turn Spotted Face Away
And End Earthly Wire Troubles
Influence of Blemishes Expected to Pass Within AZ
Hours and Aroused Aurora Borealis Cease to
Cripple Electrical Communications

WASHINGTON, May 15.-Tnterrup-
ton Of Geographic communication by
electrical influences, if due to the prev
alence of spots on the sun as set
forth in the Brashear theory, will pass
away within forty-eight hours, in the
belief of officials at the Naval Obser
vatory here.
The present spot or group Of spots
on the face OF the sun, estimated by
Naval Observatory officials as $4,000
miles in length and $1,000 in latitude,
was nearest the earth last night. and
to-day, through rotation Of the sun,
Was moving away from the solar meri-
dian. Naval Observatory officials said
to day that, leaving out of considera-
tion the decreasing effect Of the spots
on electrical currents on the earth
through the usual breaking UP Of the
spots, the regular rotation Of the sun
on its axis would within few days
carry the spots SO Tar from the earth
as TO make their influence negligible.
The theory that the aurora borealis,
CT northern lights, which send earth
currents" through Geographic wires,
interrupting communication, results
from sun spots was advanced by DR..
John A. Brashear, the late Pittsburgh
astronomer. The theory has never
