ENGLISH |S URGED
 AS WORLD TONGUE
SimpIified Form Advocated For Commerce And h.
 ternationaI Intercourse

CINCINNATI, Dec. 29.-(By Asso- ciated Press.)-World-w wide use of a simplified form of the English language in commerce and interna- tional intercourse was urged upon the American association for the ad- vancement of science today by J. W. Hamilton of St. Paul, Minn., who has spent much time in the development of a proposed universal language.
 "Cosmo English as the new Ian guage would be known, would in no way interfere with standard Eng fish, but would serve as a sort of secondary language" and be used only for International communica- tion. The plan has been endorsed by a number of prominent men and na- tions. MT. Hamilton declared.
 Peculiarities of the human body also were discussed by the scientists. Prof. R. C.. Hopkins of Ohio State university declared that the spinal gland in the human body, represented in extinct reptiles by the third eye" now is regarded as the "seat of the human soul" It's derangement causes severe derangements of the body. Other glands also play an im- portant part in human existence, he said.
 Two new discoveries were sub mitted to the scientists. pr. W. D. Harkins. professor of physical chem istry at Chicago university, an- nounced that he had discovered the get raW expected to have a broad ef- feet in the field of physics. and Dr. w. S. Whitney of Schenectady, N. Y., demonstrated the possibility of trans hitting electrical current by wireless
 Dr. Harkins said that he had found the new ray in his attempts to break up atoms in gases by directing the energy of radium into them, and had succeeded in isolating it. It comes from the alpha particles of radium, he said, and may revolutionize science by permitting the liberation offatomic energy and permitting its introduc. tion into practical use.

MANIFESTO REPLY n ANNOUNCEMENT
Seek Their Own Place In Episcopal Church As
 Loyal Sons

NEW YORK, Dec. 2s.-(By the As- sociated Press.)-Modernist cham pions of the Protestant Episcopal clergy announced today that peace could come In the existing church schism only if the fundamentalists were prepared to grant them liberty of thought and their own place in the church as loyal sons"
 The manifesto, contained in a statement issued by Dr. Stuart L.. Tyson. vice president of the modern churchmens S union, was in answer to yesterdays announcement that half dozen bishops, including Bishops with prominent laymen of the church in the first of series of con- ferences designed to end the existing controversy.
 pr. Tyson. who previously had said his organization had not been in- vited to yesterdays peace conference, and knew nothing of it until h. formed of the meeting by newspaper men, said his statement was issued lon behalf of the modernists gen. erally."
 If these conferences are to lead up to an American association for the advancement of religion the statement said, wherein the mod ernists will be granted that liberty which he unreservedly accords his fundamentalist brother, the whole unhappy quarrel automatically will come to an end"
 But the modernist, Dr. Tyson added, will not cry peace, peace, when there is no peace.
 Every modernist," hs continued, will agree that conference is better than controversy But hitherto con- ference and fellowship are exactly what his fundamentalist brother has refused to grant him.
 He quoted statements from a re- cent address before the American As sociation for the Advancement of Science, declaring that 1t defined the modernists' attitude toward truth in general:
 The ultimate truth Is elusive. When science establishes a truth that may seem at first to be ultimate, 1t but points the way to another truth lying beyond"
 The modernist,' he added, lis battling only for freedom, for the knowledge to the interpretation of our holy religion, so as to exhibit its impaired vitality to men and women today"
 The basic issue between modern ists and fundamentalists. he con tinued, "is nothing less than the right of the Christian minister to think freely and to utilize present. day Knowledge and enlightenment in religion as well as in other rela- tions of life"
 While not seeking to force accept ance on new knowledge on the fun dam mentalists, Dr. Tyson said, the modernist will strenuously claim his own place In the church as & loyal son, along with the great army of modernists, from St. Paul to the present day"
 The Modern Churchman's Union, for which Dr. Tyson is spokesman, urges less literal interpretation of the Bible, and recently led the move ment to defend the Rev. Lee W. Hea- ton of Ft. Worth, Tex, against whom charges of heresy which it was re- ported would be lodged.

ROBBED HAIR CAUSE
 OF MARITAL TROUBLE
Physician Says It Made First Breach In His Domestic Life

JERSEY CITY, N. J" Dec. 2S.- Bobbed hair for young women is probably sensible enough. but for a wife and mother over forty.
 Dr. John Commorato, prominent Jersey City physician, who Is fighting his wife's suit for divorce in Jer- sey City chancery court, claims that his wife's sheared locks are respon- sible for their marital difficulties. He is contesting Mrs. Hilda Commorato's efforts to obtain temporary alimony from him.
 Dr. Commorato says that he warned his wife not to have her hair cropped short as she had threatened, and that she did so against his will. On the other hand, Mrs. Commorato claims she had her hair bobbed because 1t was falling out and not because bobbed locks were stylish.
 Mrs. Commorato accused her hus- band of being intimate with a trained d nurse at the Jersey City hospital known only as Miss M" She denied charges she had been friendly with d school principal" and a stable boy" She claims the doctor had failed to provide for her and has barred her from his friends.
 Private detectives in affidavits claim they saw Mrs. Commorato's lips cut, a swollen jaw and marks on her throat and that the woman had told them she had been assaulted by her husband.

NO CONCERN IS SHOWN IN DARK HORSE PLAN
Leading Democrats Pay No Atten- tion To Bryan's Threat
 WASHINGTON BUREAU1

Washington. D. C.. Dee. 2,


 That William J. Bryan has an nounced his possession of a dark horse candidate to be presented to the democratic convention, a candi- date dry and progressive" whose name has not as yet been mentioned. has caused no apparent consterna- tion among the following of either Senator Underwood or William G. McAdoo.
 The idea obtains here that Bryan has in mind Governor Pat Neff of Texas. The thought likewise ob- tains that Neff, in the role of a can didate, would prove to be stalking horse for Bryan.
 Senator Underwood today an- nounces speaking dates for this month in Akron and Cleveland Later, he will penetrate the middle west. Representative Hudspeth, who represents the Fl Paso district of Texas, informed the senator today that his district was organized for the Alabamian, and would give him a large majority vote over any other candidate.
