WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-The pro-

committee to eliminate the transpor-
tation tax as one of several methods
of reducing the federal government
tax revenue an estimated $4,000, 900,
is receiving the enthusiastic endorse

The business interests have been
constantly emphasizing the fact that
excessive transportation costs have
been one of the greatest obstacles in
bringing about an early revival OF
normal industrial and commercial
activities.
Urging the withdrawal of the trans
portation tax a Richmond manufac-
turer writes: Railroads cannot reduce
freight rates until freights begin to
move more freely. Cut off this tax
and that movement will start" 1t is
also argued that such action will
bring about direct cut in prices.
Urge Rail Tax Repeal.
Proposed tax reductions are to be
retroactive for 1921. But there is to
be no reduction in the tax on railroad
traffic until 1922. 1t is then proposed
to make a horizontal cut of one-half
and wait until 1923 to relieve trans
portat1on of the other half
There are many members of con-

MINING FUSS DUE
IN PART TO LAxlTy
OF SHERIFF, CLAIM
CBy Associated Press)

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 13.-Adju-
tant General Smith, on his return from
Sullivan county, where he acted as
Governor McCray's representative in
the disturbance in the coal fields, as
serted that laxity on the part of Sher-
iff Ed. Douthitt was partly to blame
for conditions.
General Smith scored Douthitt, say
ing the county official was without
sand and without conception" slow
to act, and that his action toward re-
cruiting deputy sheriffs came after
the general had told him that unless
action was taken report would be
made to the governor that his conducl
was such as TO warrant his removal.
Blame primarily for the disorder
was placed by General Smith on "out-
side agitators acting along the l. w
w. line" while the crowd that ordered
two mine bosses to quit the locality
was said by General Smith to have
been composed of adventuresome
youths and men past so years dissat
isfied with working conditions.
Before leaving Sullivan, General
Smith said plans had been completed
by the sheriff for recruiting 80 dep
uties who might be called on for serv
ice at moments notice. "We never
contemplated using 800 deputies" said
the general.
Praise of Prosecutor Taylor was
voiced by General Smith. Governor
McGray was not at the state house
today, having gone to visit his family
in Michigan over Sunday, after re
ceipt of reports that all was quiet in
Sullivan county.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Aug. 13-

Nine. Curie to Use Gift Radium
TO Perfect Cancer Treatment
Will Seek Method of Controlling Rays So That
Only Diseased Tissues Will BE Destroyed,
NO Matter How Deep-Seated the Infection

The control of radium rays for can
GER treatments is the problem to which
Nine. Marie Curie will devote the gram
of radium which American women are
to present to her through President
Harding on Friday at the Waite House.
A method of control, so that deep
seated diseased tissues can be reached
without destroying the healthy tissue,
is the immediate problem OF radium,
Nine. Curie believes.
This was explained by her daughter
and co~worker, Mile. Irene, yesterday,
following a luncheon at the Waldorf
Astoria, ut which Mime Curie WAS
hailed as the queen OF scientists and
mother of radium' by scientists of
many societies,
Nine. Curje will study radium only
as a scientist, her daughter was careful
TO explain. She is not physician and
the experiments she makes will be con-
cerned only with the action of radium
rays in their purely scientific aspects,
but inasmuch as she will be working in
cooperation with the physicians of the
Pasteur Institute, Paris, she believes
that what she discovers can be applied
to medical advantage.
'The problem in connection with
radium. as I understand it." her daugh-
ter said, sis now so to control the
radium rays that they viii burn away
the bad tissues and not injure the good
tissues. Even deep-seated cancers, to
which the radium rays cannot be ap~
piled directly, have been reached by
applying the radium outside the body,
at the part directly above the cancer;
and protecting the rest of the body
with a lead sheet. Even when the can
Ger is incurabe, the sufferings of the
patient may be made less by the radium
treatment.
But l do not wish to say much on
this question" she added with the
quick caution of the scientist, for
am not doctor and neither is my
mother The work done in her lahora-
tory will not be medical but physical
and chemical; that is, it will be pure
science. If what she does in her lab
oratory helps applied science, then it
will be good"
"Do you believe that rsdium will ever
be a complete cure for cancer" she
was asked.
Indeed I dc" she responded warmly.
Again, I am not a doctor, but | do be
lieve, and so does my mother, that if
cancer is treated as soon as the first
symptoms are discovered and the case
is properly diagnosed radum will eff
feet complete cure
She added that the newest method Of
applying radium rays was in several
small tubes, applied to various parts of
the cancerous growth, instead of in one
central tube, which sometimes burned
the central parts too deeply and did not
reach the outer portions. AS many as
twenty small tubes are now used in ono
cancer, she said
The debt of the whole world to Nine.
