Cancer Week Campaign
Praised by Nine. Curie
Radium Discoverer Cables to
Committee Here Commend
ing Welfare Publicity

A cablegram from Nine. Curie. dis
coverer of radium, was received yes
terday by Mrs. Robert G. Mead, of II
West Eleventh Street, chairman of the
American Society for the Control of
Cancer, commencing the society's
cancer week campaign. The message
reads:
'The effort of the American Society
for the Control of Cancer to bring home
to the people the necessity for an early
diagnosis of this disease and urging
it's immediate treatment should have
the support of every one with the well
fare Of humanity at heart.
Cancer is a world problem and, in
spite of the great advance in surgery
and treatment, little avails unless the
malady is early diagnosed and treated
by those skilled in its control. Of
thousands who have died yearly a great
number could have been saved had the
disease been taken in time. Spread the
propaganda that through better knowl-
edge of cancer the present high NOR
tallty may be materially reduced"
Nine. Currie is experimenting in
Paris with the gram of radium lately
presented to her in the United States,
seeking means of cancer control.

Craig supine While
Crafters Loot CITY.
Lockwood Declares,
Failure to Safeguard Pier
l. e a ses and Courthouse
Contract Record Quoted
Against the Comptroller

Senator Charles c. Lockwood yester-
day charged that his Tammany opponent
for the Comptrollership, Charles l..
Craig, failed to prevent the city from
being looted by politicians who were
given city piers for practically nothing
while they in turn cleaned up millions
in graft.
Senator Lockwood also charged that
Comptroller Craig approved permits to
dump ashes into the County Courthouse
excavation at cost to the city of
S250,O00 and with failure to vote on
the resembling of the "extortionate new
courthouse contracts on which the city
stood to lose over $l,OOO,0O0."
In his statement Senator Lockwood
said:
Comptroller Craig said in his speech
in Queens Borough that, if elected. T
would be led around by the nose by
politicians.
"My whole public record refutes this
statement. Comptroller Craig is the
committee of one on the new courthouse
site' when elected | will not be led
around by the limestone ring. | will
not approve permits to dump ashes into
the courthouse excavation and have the
city pay s250,0O0 of its money to take
them out.
II will not sit as member of the
Sinking Fund Commission and fail to
adopt the suggestion of the Dock Com
missioner to insert a clause in the new
city leases which will prevent profiteer-
ing on wharfage and dock privileges.
He cannot have forgotten that in
1919 and 1920 the United States gov
ernment report shows the citv re-
celved for rent on twenty-four city
piers S1.484,717. Those who held the
city docks received $685. 900, a profit,
largely to prohteers, of S4,20O,2S3.
Reminds of School Delay
'T will not be led into delaying the
selection of school sites. District At
torney Lewis of Brooklyn and presi-
dent Prall of the Board of Education
charge Comptroller Craig with delay
ing the selection of the Coney Island
school site for years. The Board of

LAM in an official report charged the
Comptroller with delaying and hinder
