NEW YORK, Sept. "a revolution
in chemical science which will have q

Industry Of Great Britain, in an ad-
dress before the international meeting
Of the British organization and the

that it will lead us to laboratory

'When we possess full working de-
tails concerning the pfant-leaf process
for converting carbondioxide and wat

utilizing the suns energy, when we
can make indigo and quinine by TIE

entirely different proposition from the

Further along in his address, which
was entitled "Chemistry and Life he
said:
"On all hands we are met by the

that science will lift the cursa Of
Adam from humanity. 1t is no part
Of my task today to discuss philosopEi-
cal questions which originated IN The

"The solution of this problem must
come from the proper utilization of
the radiant energy which comes to US
from the sun; we require efficient
methods for transporting solar energy
from the tropics for use in our more
temperate climes. 1t is perfectly pos

lead to such improvements in yield and

will replace the ordinary fuels, coal

house, when an agreement was signed
by the county and Peterson, Dillon &
Patterson, the road contractors, ter

and wiping the slate clean.

the contractors to protect the county
in the matter of disputes for labor
and materials, used and contracted for
by the road building firm, and attor-
news in the different law suits were
instructed to have all proceedings
pending eXpunged from court records.
The signing of the agreement came
after an all day consultation of prin-
cipals and attorneys who were busy
most Of the time smoothing out small
difficulties and arranging the details
of the settlement. When the resolu-
ton was finally passed authorizing
Chairman George Pulliam to sign the
agreement, the signatures of all par

he emerged to reveal the purpose of
his visit. Indications are not wanting
that he has been invited to serve as a
delegate and It is believed he would
not decline except possibly on the
score Of his advanced age and condi-
ton OF his health.
Although President Harding has had
several democrats under consideration
including Senators Hitchcock of Ne

SEARCH FOR
GARDNER IS
W|TH0U I
RESULT
Escaped Bandit Believed by
Many to Have Reached the
Mainland First Day of His
Freedom.

SEATTLE, Sept. 9.-Guards from
the Federal prison on Mcneil Island,
are preparing today to continue their
search of the island for Roy Gardner,
the escaped bandit, who for four days
has oluded capture.
The authorities are still convinced
that Gardner could not have left the
island, because of the close watch KEEP
over the entire shore, with all Of its
boats, and the patrol Of the water
surrounding the island both night ali
day by armed motor boats.
The searching parties today are push
ing their way into the heavy brush
covered sections of the island, with
rifles ready for instant use, for the
prison officials fear Gardner may be
armed in which event they expect
desperate battle before he submits.
As the time passes and Gardner
continues ITO elude his pursuers, the
belief iv growing among some of the
man hunters here that he is not on
the island. n
He got off the first night is the
way some of them tersely put it.
1t is pointed out that during the
darkness it would be possible for a
desperate man to get across one Of the
narrow channels to another island and
from there make his way to the main
land while the search is centered on
the nrison island.
All last night the vigil for the es-
capped prisoner was maintained. Four
power boats continually circled the
island and kept their searchlights
sweeping the waters and the shoreline.
Warden Maloney feels that his stand
that Gardner Is still Oh the island has
been strengthened by recent events.
Gardner at one time fought in north
Yves. boxing rings under the name CT
Young Fit2sim mons. according to Ed
! Hagen, former Seattle policeman, and
former heavyweight boxer, who is
serving a two year sentence on Mcneil
4, Island for stealing liquor from Gus
toms warehouse. Hagen declared he
had recognized Gardner as Young
Fitzsimmons upon Gardner's arrival
at the prison. Hagen has records
which show he knocked out Young
Fitzsimmons in Yakima Sept. "a, 1919
in the second round.

Mrs. Obenchain Has Thrown
Over Man Indicted With
Her In Case According to
Former Husband.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 9.-RalpE
Obenchain, former husband of Mrs
Madalynne Obenchain, indicted jointly
with Arthur C. Burch, on the charge
Of numbering Bolton Kennedy, young
insurance broker. announced today
that Mrs. Obenchain had severed al
connection with the Burch defense.
Obenchain said, speaking as law
yer, he believed he could easily estab-
lish Mrs. Obenchain's innocence and
shift for himself.
Application for the release on bal
Of Mrs. Obenchain, has been postponed
until next week because Of the depal
ture of Paul W. Schenck, chief coun-
sci for the defense, for Arizona where
he is engaged in the trial of an i'm
portant suit Schenck will, return to
this city next Monday or Tuesday and
application for bail for the woman
will be made then.
The prosecution is prepared to make
strenuous opposition to the application
for bail and Deputy District Attorney
Asa Keys states that in his opinion the
court will deny the request for her re-
lease, pending the trial of the case.
1t seems certain now that with the
break between Mrs. Obenchain anc
Burch as indicated by the statement
of her former husband, that the de-
mand for separate trials in the case
will be pressed before Judge Sydney
Reeve at the time he takes up the
matter of fixing a tial.l date for the
trial.
Burch is expected to ask for tria
not earlier than some date in Decem-
b.r, and in the case of separate trials
this will throw the case Of Mrs. Oben-
chain over until some time next Jan
