BACON'S CODE WRITING
 IS FULLY TRANSLATED
Continued from First Page.)

letter is represented by gr. a. by ad and T by ed, the word grad" would spell eat"
 The principle cannot he used in this way because every word would be represented by twice as many letters and only words of an even number of letters can be used in cipher. To meet these difficulties Bacon lays down the rule that successive sylla- bles must end and begin with the same letters. doubled letters being dropped. Thus eat may be spelled 'go-ol-ld' dropping the double letters one gets the word gold
 \ Tn reading the cipher you double every letter except the first and last and thus discover the syllables which spell the word. But it is very sell dom possible to find syllables which fulfill these conditions and yet spell a new word when arranged in the or der of the letters of the original word. For example, eat may also be spelled 'ar-rk-da' and the sylla- bles may be re-arranged into the word dark but when dark is trans lated the word eat will reappear as tea. the order of the letters being disarranged. These are the princi- ples Bacon used.
 There are ASA possible combina- tions of the letters of two 22 letter alphabets. taken two by two. Bacon makes every one of the ASA represent a letter of his alphabet and with them spells his words in Latin in the way indicated above. He disarranges the underlying text as little as pos- sible and it usually is still recogniz- able, but frequently 1t is disarranged so much that scholars probably never will agree as to how 1t should be re- constructed.
 "As 1t is difficult to write when hnmpered by these rules Bacon usual ly shields himself from suspicion by writing in the strange jargon used by alchemists. Few people understand 1t and so he can write nonsense in it without arousing suspicion"
 Bacon sometimes wrote tiny char acters under a microscope. concealing them in letters of a bogus alphabet, Dr. Newbold said. Many of his il- lustrations are concealed in the same way. and unlmportant lines are ear tremely difficult for the scholar to separate from those which form the real drawing. The non-significant lines usually are in lighter ink. As evidence of the fact that his method of deciphering is correct, Dr.
 Newbold said he had found therein facts of which he had no former knowledge but which he afterward found to be true. These included the appearance of a comet on December s. 1290, and the location of the great nebulae of Andromeda.

WIDOW OF SUICIDE
 CUDAHY C0LLAPSES
Wife of Packers Son Heard Shot
 That Killed Husband

Los Angeles, April 21.-Mrs. Edna Cowin Cudahy, widow of J ohm F. (Jack) Cudahy who committed suicide here yesterday as told in another column of this issue supposedly be- cause of his failure to negotiate a loan of s1O.OO0 from a Chicago bank, was reported in a state of collapse today.
 Mrs. Cudahy, who is a daughter of Gen. John Cay Cowin of Omaha Neb., was in the house with her four children when her husband killed himself.
 Funeral arrangements for Mir. Cudahy. who was a son of the late Michael Cudahy, we'll known meat packer and himself for a time man. ager of the Cudahy Pkg. Co. of Kansas City were expected to be perfected today. D.
 Detectives today made public part of a letter signed by vice-president of the institution with which MT. Cudahy was said to have negotiated for a loan. It read:
 We do not want to carry per- manent loan and unless your sister can vouch for the loan of $1o,ooo which you ask for we find it impossi- ble to grant your request"
 The officers also said that Cudahy late Tuesday had received from his sister Clara. at Santa Barbara a teie- gram reading:
 "sorry but find it impossible to do what you ask"
 Yesterday, is was declared, Cudahy seemed his usual self.
 Late in the morning he was said to have gone to his room in the house of the Hollywood district of Los Angeles, where he and his family made their home. Early in the after noon Mrs. Cudahy heard shot and hurried to her husbands room.
 She found him dead, his head shat tered from a gunshot wound. He lay on a bed a shotgun close by. The shoe and sock had been removed from one foot and the detectives said he had placed the muzzle of the wapon in his mouth and pulled the trigger with his toes-
 Physicians who had lately attended him said he had been suffering from nervous afflictions for several months and lately had been taking treatment in a sanitarium.
 Anne Cudahy, IT and Michael, If an only son, were at home at the time. Miss Marie Cudahy was away. The fourth child is Mrs. Percy Fisher Browne of Pasadena who was recently married.

 The laxative mentioned above is pr. True's Elixir. the Family Laxa- tive and Worm Expelier.. It is very pleasant to take: children like it. and it Is mild in action. No harmful drugs
 It's surprising to know the number of youngsters and even grown-ups who suffer from worms but don't req lize it. Every one needs a good lax alive.
 Common symptoms of worms: Of- fensive breath, swollen upper lip. sour stomach, eyes heavy and dull. itching of the nose, grinding of the teeth. rcd points on the tongue. slow

BEHIND CLOSED DOORS

LIyod George and Briand Will Have
 One Secretary Each at Sunday After
 noon's
 Paris, April 21.-Premiers Briand and Lloyd George plan strictly private conferences at tLe meeting to be held at Hythe, England, on Sunday. NO one else will be present during the time they are talking except one secretary for each. Philippe J. l.. Berthelot, gen. eral secretary of the French foreign office, will probably act ln that capacity for M. Briand.
 It had been expected that Marshal Foch,. for France, and Field Marshal Wilson, for Great Britain, would attend the conference, but it was stated here today that neither of these military rep resentatiyes would go to Hythe.
 Germany's proposals relative to reparations had not been received by the French government up till late last night but officials here declared they ex- pected they would be the same as those published in German newspapers. for this reason they said they believed the Berlin governments terms would be insufficient and unacceptable"

DISAPPROVES GOVT.
 MEDDLING IN LABOR
Dependency of Two Forces
 Argued at Boston Meeting

Boston, April 21.-A definitely stated national labor policy was op- posed as inimicel to industrial prog ress by ". R. Bassett of New York in an addfess before the National As sociationVbf Cotton Manufacturers at their convention today. The history of governmental interference in labor had shown successes when decisions favored the workman, he said, and failures when verdicts favored em- ployers.
 ''One hears a great deal about the iron heel of capitalistic despotism squeezing blood profit out of the poor downtrodden worker" he continued, adding that he had yet to discover a company that had become really prosperous when operated on the lem on-squeezer principle"
 Discussing the trades union ques- ton the speaker asserted that all though the labor bodies had per- formed a valuable service in curbing interruptions employers, they had not permanently advanced wages nor bet tered working conditions. Pay in- creases and betterment of conditions were created and regulated by eco homie forces, he said.
 Employe representation in manage ment was described by R. l.. Wilson, of East Pittsburgh, Pa.
 Industry depends upon co-opera- ton based on the acceptance by em- ployers and employees of some prac- ticable application of the principle that capital and labor aro inter-de- pendent" hs said.
 ''The workman certainly has right to have something to say in regard to his working conditions, his conduct in the shop, his relations to his em- ployers and his fellow employe. 1t is necessary and right that his desires in this respect be recognized"
 A movement to tighten the burden of the industrial housing problem for mill owners was advocated by Leslie H. Allen of Springfield.
 With the exception of the mining industry, he said, there was no indus try that housed, in it's own buildings, so large a proportion of employees as did textile manufacturers.
 Two alternatives lay before the company which wished to end its housing perplexities he said. One was to raise rents to a profitable bas- is: the other to sell and if the cost price could not be obtained to accept less as it would be cheaper in the end.

Is unbusine ss-like. This sum is spent in maintaining about 1000 miles of highway, of which 670 miles are of gravel or macadam construction and practically worn out. About one-third of this 6T0 miles is in such a condi- tion at the present time that it should be entirely renewed.
 The tentative program of the high way commissioner as outlined to tho committees on appropriations and f- nance of the general assembly, calls for the reconstruction of 25 miles each year. Under this program it would take eight years to repave 200 miles of the 670 calling for recon struction.
 The cost of keeping in repair a road with concrete surface is relatively slight. such surfaces at a minimum cost for maintenance will probably last 10 years. In some instances there is now being expended annually on existing roads for temporary repairs from S2.oO0 to 5000 per mile.
 Negative Argument.
 If we begin issuing reconstruction bonds. with a total mileage of 67O to be renewed and a grand total of s40,- 900. 900 of bonds necessary to pro- vide for such reconstruction. where are we going to draw the line? This policy would mark a departure from the pay-as-you-go principle. Later on. other bond issues probably would be requested for the same purpose. This opens the door to the accumula- ton of n large state debt, resulting in increased taxation.
 Studied by Committee.
 The chamber has requested its committee on highways and motor vehicles. of which Senator John H. Brooks of Torrington is chairman. to make a special study of the states needs from the standpoint of contin- ued highway Improvements and the conserving of the states income to be devoted to highway work. The other members of this committee are: D. L.. Morgan, Bradley Smith company, New Haven: Arthur Fifoot. secre- tary Hartford Automobile club, Hart ford: Senator C. Dennison Tnlcott. Vernon; Hon. Albert J. Bailey. Nor wich; Frank T. Staples. Bridgeport: T. M. Russell. Middletown. and Hon. q. Harold Gilpatric, Norwich.
