CHICAGO, Feb. 15,-Excavstion o
| the yard in the rear Of the studio a
1916 East Fifty-seventh Street was be
gun by Englewood police and detec
tives to-day in search OF Mrs. Nancy
NJ. Chamberlin, eighty-one years old.

Ruth Chamberln Townsend, daughter
of the missing woman. and Miss Marian
M. Townsend, Mrs, Townsend's daugh
ter, passed last night in the Sarah
Sackett Stevenson Memorial Lodging

were committed to that institution by
the police whose suspicious were
aroused by the refusal of both women
to give any information AS to Mrs
Chamberlain's whereabouts.
Interviewed at Hudson Avenue de-
tention home, where she and hel
daughter were taken to-day, Mrs
Townsend said: 81 have said all along
that my mother was with friends"
Friends on earth or in heaven p
she was asked.
''I won't say anything" Mrs. Towns
end replied. She's being cared for by
love. Love alone sustains, and truth
is triumphant. There are more details
which will come out and explain every
thing"

When informed that work on exca-
waiting the backyard OF her former
apartment had been begun, Mrs
Townsend said she hoped the police
would satisfy themselves.
They'll probably dig up the bones
of my little dog" she said.

Hundreds Treated
For Cancer With
Radiunn by State
Only More Advanced Cases
Admitted to Hospital at
Buffalo; Many of Them
Apparently Are Cured
snsctol Dtspatcb TO The Tribune

! BUFFALO, Feb. 15.-Since the com
pletion of the Gratwick Laboratory for
the treatment of cancer by radium at
the State Hospital for Malignant Dis
eases on November I, more than 800
patients have received treatment or are
under observation at the present time,
according to a report to the Legislature
made to-day by Dr. Harvey D. Gaylord,
in charge of the radium treatment.
With the placing in solution of $3.50
600 worth of radium, purchased by the
state for experimental purposes in
October, the announcement was made
that on November 1 the first treatment
with the new supply Of radium would
be made. Radium as a cure for cancer
had long been known in the hospital
and the cure had been practiced for
years. The supply of the mysterious
metal, however, was limited and it was
not until the Gratwick Laboratory was
completed and the radium installed in
| its especially constructed vault that
treatments in a general way could be
undertaken
Of the throngs that fiocked to the
hospital with the announcement of the
opening, only the more advanced cases
were admitted for treatment, The
others were placed under observation,
and, although given treatment, were
not admitted to the hospital as pa
tients. In spite of this precaution,
more patients than can be cared for
with the present facilities have made
application, and the waiting list is
growing daily.
DR.. Gaylord declared that in the
present stage radum had proved to be
a preventative rather than cure.
Many patients have been pronounced
cured, he says, and whom the doctors
| believe to be cured. The nature of the
disease, however, is such that time
| alone will tell if these patients have
! been completely relieved or if their
cure is only for the time.
AS a preventative, or as cure in the
formative stages, there is no doubt
about radium's efficiency, DR., Gaylord
declares. experimentation, carried or
at all times, is perfecting better anC
better methods of employing the heal
ing powers Of the metal.
The present treatment is to place the
radium in solution. This is done BY
simply dissolving in water, radium be
ing highly soluble. When this is don,
a gas is given off INCREASINGLY withou
any depreciation of the amount o
radium in solution. This gas is know
as the emination of radium. An intri
cate apparatus of glass tubing, tes
tubes and other paraphernalia is use
to collect this gas in small needle-lik
tubes, which later are sealed.
These tubes Of gas, which have al
the original properties of radium ar
used in the treatment of cancer The
are placed on the infected area, swathe
in heavy bandages, and are removed fre
quently so as not to cause radiul
burns.

Crime Wave Worst
Country Has Seen
Sylvester Asserts
Committee of Police Chiefs
in Session Here Requests
Cooperation of Depart
ments in u. S. and Abroad

The executive committee of the In
ternational Association of Chiefs Of
Police met at the Hotel McAlpin yes
terday. The meeting was called by
Chief Joseph M. Quigley, of Rochester,
president of the association, to discuss
means of crime prevention.
Major Richard Sylvester, formerly
chief of police of Washington, said
there had been more crimes of a SEN
sational character, such as hold-ups
and bank robberies, recently than ever
before. Major Sylvester, now chief of
the private police at the Du Pont
Works, at Wilmington. Del, also said
there had been an aggravating increase
i'm the number of automobile thefts.
The meeting was held behind closed
doors, but resolution passed and
made public, requests suggestions
from police all over the country as to
the best means of preventing thefts Of
merchandise in both rail and water
shipment. The resolution says loss by
these thefts has become excessive in
the past year, and hardship to both
buyers and producers of goods.
1t asks close police cooperation with
private operatives. The executive
committee was supplied with reports
of thefts from piers, trains and yes
sells of goods in domestic and export
| shipment.
The chiefs were addressed by Com
missioner Richard E. Enright and aft
erwards indorsed his efforts to uphold
| the law here.
Considerable discussion was devoted
! to the need of uniform state legisla
tion governing the sale of revolvers
| 1t was held that about one-third of th
states have lax laws governing permits
Some of the chiefs advocated legisla
ton limiting the purchase of weapon
to permit holders and compulsory reg
| istration of the same.
1t was suggested that business house
pay their employees by check, so tina
large sums of money will not be sen
| through the streets to tempt hold-u
| men.
The committee discussed plan t
establish police institute at the per
manent headquarters Of the associa
ton. This institute would co0perat
with the police of this and other coun
| tries.

nesses Captain Arthur A, Carey, head
of the Police Department Homicide Bu-
reau; Captain Charles II. Mckinney,
Lieutenant Murray and several police
men. He also produced a number OF
records from the West Forty-seventh
Street station in 1913 at the time of the
killing of young Gushing.
Judge Grain received word that the
grand jury would appear in court and
set 4:15 o'clock as the time. A few
minutes before the time designated the
foreman of the grand jury sent word
that they would not appear until Thurs
day.
In the mean time Judge Grain, at the
request of Mr.. Whitman, put off until
this morning argument on the motion
of Louis Fridiger, counsel for Detective
Sergeants Marty Owens and Thomas J.
Horan. for an inspection of the min
utes on which the grand jury based

Whitman will appear to oppose the
motion.
Check Records in Cushing Killing
"We- called Captain Carey and Cap
tain Mckinney and the other police
officers to check UP certain facts in the
murder of young Cushing Mr.. Whit
man said last night. He continued:
Captain Mckinney, then in command
OF the West Forty-seventh Street sta
tlon, was on vacation when The crime
was committed. Lieutenant Murray
was in charge Of the precinct. When
Captain Mckinney returned he made
an investigation of the case. sent his
report through Inspector Dominicl1
Henry to the Police Commissioner and
the two men were placed on trial be-
fore Deputy Commissioner Goff.
"Mr. Goff, in view of the action
which had been taken by the grand
jury in refusing to indict the two
officers, recommended that the cases
against the men be dismissed.
"The record of that trial shows that
on of the witnesses testified that she
saw the shooting, and that it ap-
peared to be deliberate. 1t also shows
that the body of this boy, who was
killed by these two policemen, was in
the station house, when it was den
titled by the two girl witnesses of the
shooting. who also identified the two
men who did the shooting. Yet what
was Golf to do in view of the action
by the grand jury? He did Just what
any OF us would do under the circum-
stances. He recommended that the
charges be dismissed"
THAT would indicate then, Governor,
that the case was not properly pre-
sented to the grand jury by the AS
sistant District Attorney" Mr.. Whit
man was told by the newspaper men.
81 will not under any circumstances
go into that phase of the case" Mr..
Whitman replied.
Unofficially, The Tribune learned
that no action will be taken against
the Assistant District Attorney in
volved. 1t is known, however that i'm
mediately after the trial of Flood and
O'Brien-and regardless of its outcome
"a demand will be made for the re-
moval of this man from Swann's staff.
