Waving the statutory time IN which

J.. Miller, in the Park county district

Dor in the state ~penitentiary at Deer
Lodge.
Scharf received the sentence stoical-
ly and declared. after being taken
from the courtroom to his cell in the
county Jail, that il IS his intention to
reduce The sentence as much as pos
sible by application to Whatever duties
are assigned to him.
In passing sentence Judge Miller
first advised the prisoner of his
rights, recited his activities with the
law, telling MIN ne mad been given
the advice of the most able members
Of the bar in the state Of Montana and
then preceded to the causes for the
sentence about to be imposed.
The Judge spoke Of the reason for
making laws to protect the weak and
innocent, and informed the prisoner
that regardless Of the fact that the
subject by whom he was accused in
the serious assault charge was "hard-
boiled and he said he used the term
advisedly, it did not lessen the re-
sponsibility the prisoner owed to so.

Gives Antitoxin Forcibly
to Cut Diphtheria

Lebanon, Pa.-Having forcibly ad-
ministered antitoxin to members of the
faith tabernacle, cult Of faith curers,
local health authorities are hopeful of
checking the spread Of diphtheria,
which in three weeks has caused the
deaths of nine persons. All the VIC
tins we're members of families of the
faith tabernacle and all, the authori-
ties declared, had been denied medical
attention.
Five of the deaths occurred in the
family of Mrs. Charles Roth, her hus-
band and four children dying since
April 81. One of the children died
while the funeral Of another was be-
ing held. Mrs. Roth had refused medi-
cal treatment for her family. She and
four surviving children were inoculat-
ed, although she would not give verbal
consent, but submitted without pro-
test.

Insanity More Frequent
Among College Students

Washington.-Goin to college is
among the dangerous occupations, ac
cording to information presented be-
fore joint conference of the Nation
al Research council and the Personnel
Research federation by DR.. Donald A.
Laird, associate professor Of psycholo-
gy at Colgate university.
One man out Of every 1,400, between
the age of twenty and twenty-four,
goes insane, according to the latest
census reports, while only one woman
out of 1900 of the same age loses con-
troll of her reason. Doctor Laird has
found that among college students the
incidence of mental disorder Is much
higher, being one out of every 1000
of students In the colleges he studied.
"There may be more mental break
downs among college Students" Doc
tor Laird said, because they live a
competitive intellectual existence, and
any mental handicap Is quickly no
ticed."

FINDS RADIO WAVE
SLOWER THAN LIGHT
Navy Astronomer Offers an
Amazing New Theory.

San Francisco, CaL-The discovery
that the radio wave travels slower
than light was announced by Capt
]. ]. See, professor Of mathematics
In the United States navy, government
astronomer at Mare Island navy yard,
and well known authority on the
theory Of ether.
According to Captain See the radio
wave travels around the globe with a
velocity of 10000 miles a second,
while light travels 10000 Captain
See considers that his discovery in.
the velocity of the propagation of the
radio wave about the earth may prove
the most notable step in the develop
ment of the wave theory since Roe
mers original discovery of the velocity
of light in 1875.
Outline of Theory.
An outline of the chief conclusions
communicated to the London Times is
condensed below:
II. The mean velocity of the wire
less wave was found to be about 49,
900 miles per second. This figure is
about 1900 miles per second less than
that of light, but ten years ago we did
not suspect the cause.
a. In March last wireless signal
was sent from the sending station near
New York to Warsaw, Poland. and re-
fected back In 0054 of a second of
time The double distance is $500
miles, and the transmission comes out
about $4,000 miles per second.
49, The mean of the two independ-
ent determinations Of the wireless
wave is 165,500 miles per second.
Phenomenon Is Explained.
"a. What Is the cause of this?
The aetheron or particle of ether is
only one-four thousandth part as
large In diameter as the hydrogen
molecule, so that compared to ordi-
nary molecules Of the size of oranges
the aetherons would be like smoke
from cigar, and moving with ve-
locity of 100000 miles per second.
The wave travels through the solid
earth as well as through the air and
free space above the air, but is much
EG6AbLGu LA bIt0 0OA1u SAODOs 1Ao tAO
ether Is 690921 100000 times more
elastic than air In proportion to Its
dcnsity-thus almost infinitely elastic
the medium cannot suffer break in
its continuity, yet the movement above
the earth is held back by the slower
movement of the wave in the earth.
The resistance in the globe thus acts
as drag on the wave Mt its base.
The result Is that the wave bends
around the earth, as long known yet
heretofore not generally understood.
"5. This bending is quite analogous
to the change of form Of water waves
as they run ashore-the top of the
wave gains on the base.
"The results are of interest In con-
nection with the wave theory Of mag
netism and the cause of universal
gravitation, because they bear on the
cause of the fuctuation of the moons
mean motion"

PROVIDES HOME FOR
CONVICTS' CHILDREN
Sophie Lyons, Former Grim
inal, Leaves Fund.

Detroit, Mich.--A perpetual trust
fund, the proceeds of which are to be
devoted to the establishment of a
home for children whose parents are
prison inmates, is created under the
will of Sophie Lyons Burke, former
international confidence woman, who
died here recently. The will, discov-
cred in a safe deposit vault, drilled
open in the presence of court attaches,
does not indicate the amount to be de-
voted to the creation of the home, but
leaves the residue Of Mrs. Burke's es-
tate to that purpose after numerous
requests to relatives and friends
In providing for the children's home,
the will specifies that any child be-
tween two and four years of age, one
or both of whose parents may be a
prison inmate, shall be eligible to adj
mittance to the home. Provision also
was made for 375 annual subscriptions
to a popular weekly periodical to be
distributed among prisons throughout
the country.
Mrs. Burke, who gave up career
of crime to preach observance Of the
law and the futility of crime, left an
estate valued variously at from $780,
600 to 100000, mostly in Detroit real
estate, where she made her fortune by
investing and specializing in land
When the safe deposit vault was
opened 1t was found to contain besides
numerous deeds and other papers, con-
siderable jewelry knotted in the bot
tom of an old stocking. The jewelry
was estimated to be worth $4,000,
and included one ring set with IL dia-
monds, which was Identified as the
engagement ring given her by Jimmy"
Burke when the couple were at the
height of their career.

New Pneumonia Serum
May Cut Deaths One-HaIf

Boston.-Discoyery Of a new treat
ment for pneumonia in the form of an
improved serum which it is thought
may reduce the death rate from this
disease by % or possibly 30 per cent,
was described by DIR. Lloyd D. FELTON,,
assistant professor Of preventive medi-
cine at the Harvard medical school, in
an address at the New England Health
institute.
The treatment consisted, he said, of
a method of precipitating and concen-
trating the antibodies in anti-pneumo-
coccus serum. The original serum,
which has been known for some time,
was weak, he added, and its value was
diminished by the fact that 1t pro-
duced violent reactions in the form Of
chills, serum sickness and rashes.
Doctor FELTON, said he had been able
to eliminate the harmful substances
from the serum.
