Aged Chief Recalls Treaty Made
With the Governor Of WASH

CHEERED BY LEGISLATORS
Protests Against Disregard Of Pact
Which Recognized Right Of lndl-
ans to Take Salmon In the
Yakima River.

Olympia, Wash.-Sixty-sl years
ago in the spray of Prosser falls, an
Indian chief and the then governor
of Washington respectively pledged
their people to abide by a pact.
This pact recognized the perpetual
rights of the Yakima tribe to fish
where from time lmmemorial the red
man had taken his salmon,
The Indians had been reluctant, say
ing to Gov. Isaac l. Stevens, but
when you are dead, who will bear
witness to your promises" And the
governor had replied:
81 pledge the Americans to keep the
promises as long as the mountains
stand. as long as the sun shines and
the river runsw
Calling upon these mute witnesses
and summoning the spirits of the dead,
Chief Meninock of the Yakimas has
just made a speech Of protest at the
whites violation of that treaty, In the
state senate chamber here, which is
the most dramatic in its annals.
Boy When Treaty Was Made.
And that speech, which would do
credit to the historic orators of his
race, with its sharp challenge to the
white mans honor, bids fair to correct
a wrong the Indians had hitherto
borne in silence.
Meninock was a boy when the trea-
ty was made. He had stood attentive
ly beside his father on that occasion.
Today he is so, and wrinkled. Much
water has run over Prosser falls since
then, and the salmon have dwindled.
Also, the whites have enacted fish and
game laws which conflict so with the
treaty of 1855 that Meninock was

Giant X-Ray to
Treat Cancer

While 1t is emphntically stated by
Professor Duane that neither X-rays
nor radium should be considered
permanent cure for all kinds of can
Ger, 1t has long been known that ra-
dium has a marked alternative effect
upon this disease.
The Harvard cancer commission Is
erecting new building adjoining the
Coils p. Huntington hospital in Bos-
ton, where an X-ray plant will be in
stalled, as well as the commissions
radlum plant.
What Discovery Means
The significance Of the discovery
was explained In the following state
ment at Harvard:
1.-THE advantage of X-rays over "a
dunn is that the latter Is scarce and
immensely expensive, costing at pres
ent. more than 100000 a gram, and
can, therefore, only be used In small
quantities. II X-rays we're used It
would be possible to make the rays
enormously more powerful than has
been possible with the limited amount
Of radium available.
"The trouble with the use Of x
rays up to this time has been that
they are not as penetrating as the
so-called Gamma rays of radlum and
the problem Of the Harvard physicists
has been to secure this needed quail
ity.
ut was known that to secure pene-
tration 1t was necessary to secure
high frequency of vibration. The
Harvard physicists, after many ex-
periments, found that a physical law
known as the ,'quantum law applied
to the X-ray spectrum, and discovered
that they could increase the frequency
of the rays and thus their penetra-
ton, by increasing the voltage Of cur
rent used in the X-ray tube.
Gets Enough Voltage.
professor Duane reports that the
tube goes to pieces under a voltage Of
more than 10000 volts, but that a
sufficiently high voltage has been OBJ
tanned to make the X-rays very nearly
as effective for certain medical pur-
poses as the Gamma rays Of radium.
"Long continued exposure to X
rays is so DANCE rous TO the operator
that the greatest pains have to be
taken to protect him from them. In
the Jefferson physical laboratory at
Harvard, where Professor Duane
makes his experiments, the X-ray
plant is kept in room by Itself and
the rays are sent out through mi
mute slit In the wall. The brick wall
at this point is reinforced with lead
and a lead screen is placed across the

Illegal Tax Charged
At Sugar Tariff Hearing

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.--Opposition
to any increase in the tariff on sugar,
together with plea for lenient treat
ment for Cuban sugar, was presented
by Edwin F. Atkins, of Boston, manu-
facturcr and importer of Cuban sugar
to-day to the House Ways and Means
Committee, which is considering revi-
sion of the permanent tariff.
The sugar industry is passing
through an acute crisis, Mr.. Atkins in
formed the committee. He said:
THAT our present sugar tariff sched-
ule has proved sufficient to protect our
domestic sugar industry is shown by
the very satisfactory earnings of the
beet sugar industry, as we'll as the

Mr.. Atkins said Cuban sugar prices
now are below production cost.
The committee received a request
from F. r. Hathaway, president of the
Michigan Sugar Company, Of Detroit
for tariff of two cents a pound on
beet sugar
Mr. Hathaway declared that the gov
ernment had imposed what amounted
to an illegal tax on business by de-
manding so many reports that audit
ing staffs, for example, were kept busy
half the time compiling the requested
information.

ings on the sugar schedule to-day and

Dog, Tossed Out Window,

For throwing a dog out of second

was scored last night in night court
for committing the most cruel act''
that had ever been called to the official
attention of Magistrate Tobias.
Detective Stephen Campbell, Of the

was walking near the Coor home and
saw dog come hurtling from an upper
window, striking the middle of the
street and evidently suffering broken
bones, as it was barely able to drag
itself to the curb.
Campbell arrested Coor, who pleaded
that the animal was acting strangely
and that he feared it had gone mad.
