PLATINUM SUBSTITUTES
 FOUND ON SEA BEACHES

WASHINGTON, April 12.-Govern- ment scientists, after extensive inves- tigations, have found what they de- clare to be satisfactory substitutes for platinum for various purposes, ac- cording to an announcement by the United States Bureau of Mines. In chemical requirements and for use in high-duty electrical contracts, how ever, the announcement said, no sub- stitute for platinum has ever been dis covered.
 One of the most promising substi- tutes was said by the experts to pc what has come to be known as white gold" which is an alloy of gold and one of the platinum metals. This closely resembles platinum, it was said. and is not attacked by nitric acid. White gold" is used extensive ly in certain classes of jewelry, but does not replace platinum in the manu- facture of high class jewelry, it was pointed out.
 Experts in the Bureau of Mines said that owing to it's resistance to the action of acids and most chemical agents, even at high temperature, ana to it's high melting point, platinum has been used extensively for the manu- facture of crucibles, basina, foi's ana wire, and for chemical laboratory work Most of the metal produced in the United States is said to be recovered as a secondary mineral from placer operations and from the electrolytlc refining of gold bullion and blister content.
 From time to time, the bureau said, the beach sands of Oregon and North ern California had been exploited by promoters on the basis of the gold and platinum content.

DODGERS PUT IN SECOND FRAME
 BY WALSH

BROOKLYN, April 12. Your Uncle Robbie, otherwise Wilbert Robinson, that lean, racy, rawboned gent who pilots the Brooklyn Dodg- CTS, will tell you that his ball club is 80 per cent stronger than it was at this time last year. Of course, you are not compelled by law to agree with Wilbert Every man to his own opinion, and all that sort of gulf,
 There is this much to be said in support of his contention: At this time last year the Dodgers were bet ting along without Burleigh Grimes, Zack Wheat and Hi Myers in the same way that quite a few gentle men up North with weakness for park benches are getting along with out overcoats. j
 This trio is the backbone of the club, it's wrap-and wool, although we are reasonably certain that all three would heatedly deny being wool or anything appartainmy thereto.
 CRIMES HOLDOUT YEARLY
 Grimes is one of the best right hand pitchers in baseball. Unfortu- nately he is also a perennial holdout. In 1921 he didn't report until after the season had started and for the first several weeks was just about as useful as a saw-toothed razor.
 Along about the middle of May he finally got around in the way of pre- liminary training, and his record suf- fered accordingly. Zack first voted quite some years ago, but he can play baseball if coalitions are to his liking. He is not particularly rapid starter; therefore delay in starting in the first place is not conductive to his best. results,
 NOW EVERYBODY HAPPY
 Now, just by way of variety, every member of the club is lined up be- hind your Uncle Robbie, and ostensi- bly, everyone is happy Grimes and Jimmy Johnston, the last of the re- caletrants, fell into step some weeks ago and should be ready when the bell rings.
 The Dodgers, however, are aging in spots. No one can forecast how long such men as Wheat, Olsen, Mil Ter and some others will last It might be two seasons or it might be two months. The team also has lost much of the pitching that brought it into the National League pennant in 1916 and 1920.
 Therefore, holdouts or otherwise, the second division would seem to be it's final resting place.

TUBERCULAR CATTLE CON
DEMNED.

Government inspectors visited this
locality last week and made tests for
tuberculosis In various dairy herds
in the neighborhood, with the result
that a number of high grade cows
were condemned and shipped to Bal
timore for slaughter. Out of a herd
of 16 cows belonging to G. A.
Hutchens, near town, 15 were con-
demned and the remaining one ship
ped with the others in order that an
entire new herd could be started.
Perry A. Gibson, a near neighbor
of Mr. Hutchens, had seven of his
herd of cows condemned, and
Clarence Cullen, whose farm adjoins
town, had five condemned out of a
herd of 40.
The owner of condemned COW
loses one-third the price of the ami
NAL, grades being appraised at SIS.
and pure breds at $50 each. The
Government pays one-third and the
State one-third, the owner losing the
remaining third. If, when the ami
NAL is slaughtered, it is found the
disease is only local, the carcass is
sold for what it will bring, and the
sum applied to amount paid owner.

WRECKED BANK TANGLE.
Litigation Over the Estate OF the
Late w. 4. Warburton.

AhCASaUAOn OVef the ESTATE III the
Late w. Il. Warburton.
Litigation over the estate of the
late William T. Warburton, presi-
dent of the Second National Bank OF
Elkton, instituted by Receiver Thos.
A. Perkins, in the Federal Court,
Baltimore, Saturday, may go to the
United States Supreme Court for
final decision. Judge Rose before
whom the case was heard last Sat
urday, suspended action after hear
ing arguments.
The issue brought for decision
was whether the Federal Court has
power to assume jurisdiction over
real estate of a decedent which al
ready is in custody Of an executor
appointed by the Orphans Court.
The question involves many fine
points of law and the final decision,
it is said will have a far-reaching eff
feet. Attorneys for both sides were
asked to prepare lists of their refer
ences.
Former Attorney-G General Isaac
Lobe Strauss and former Senator
Omar D. Crothers appeared for
States Attorney Henry A. Warbur-
ton, son Of the deceased president of
the bank, and other defendants.
They argued that the real estate is
converted into personality by direc-
tion Of Warburton's will that it be
sold. Counsel for the defendant
contended that the property is under
an administration and in custody of
the Orphons' Court for Cecil county
and that the Federal court is with
out jurisdiction. Exercise of juris-
diction by that court would be in
violation of the rights of the state
and the Orphans Court.
w. Thomas Kemp, counsel for
Receiver Perkins, contended that the
fact that the receiver had been ap-
pointed by Federal authority gave
the court jurisdiction and that it was
creditors right to appeal to an
equity court to have the question OF
priority determined.
Mr.. Kemp stated that at the time
Of Warburton's death his estate was
insolvent and on behalf of the
creditors he asked the court to as
sumo jurisdiction, order an account
ing, and appoint receiver.
William e. Thomas, through his
counsel, former Chief Judge Morris
A. Soper, filed petition on Satur-
day, asking that they be made
party to the plaintiff in the case.
The Thomas petition set forth that
he had engaged Warburton to repre-
sent him in realty transaction and
gave him a check for $500 to in
dorse over to the other party to the
transaction. Warburton, it is al
legged, indorsed the check and de-
posted it unauthorized to his own
credit to the wrecked bank.
Receiver Perkins stated that the
banks claims against Warburton
will total more than $150,000. The
First National Bank Of Baltimore,
has claim against Warburton for
$4,000.
Mr.. Warburton's estate consists
of the Gilpins Falls Electric Co., his
large apple farm, house in Elkton
and other real estate in Elkton and
other parts in Cecil county.

Wilson and World Peace

10 the Editor Of The Tribune.
SIR: Myra A. Elliott in letter TO
Inc Tribune says she became fright
eously indignant upon reading some
writer's defense of Woodrow Wilson.
couid readily see the indignation in
ner letter, but failed to appreciate the
righteousness part of it. Wilson stands
too far above such weightless missiles
that are constantly being thrown at
hlm and may be likened to the i'm.
preston Of a pebble upon a mountain.
Though am Republican and
though was in 1920 foe to the
League Of Nations. fail to see anv
major difference in Wilson's proposed
League OF Nations and the present Ad-
mnistrations Council Of Big Five. II
is merely larger and greater in its
scope and purpose.
Washington's advice to beware Of
ontanglins alliances" was sage in its
time. but it has long outgrown its Wis
dom. He could not foresec the great
changes and advances that have taken
place and that will take place in world
communica tioN. transportation, inter
dependence and inter-minging, that
make inevitable the association, under
some common law, Of all the peoples
OF the temperate clmes. And the
longer this is delayed the longer will
petty strfes and hatreds continue to
disturb the peaceful equilibrium of the
civilized portions Of the globe.
It will take mon Of outstanding cour-
age and farsceing judgment to become
the champions of world association.
Prejudices are not easily overcome.
Hence we can expect that Wilson will
stand immortal as one of those who
did most to bring about condition
Of world peace.
