MRS. HOWARD ELLIOTT =
DIES In BALTIMORE
Wife of Northern Pacific Director
Taken III Suddenly on
Way North.

Mrs. Janet January Elliott, wife of
Howard Elliott. chairman of the board
of directors of the Northern Pacific
Railway Co., died of pneumonia in
Baltimore yesterday, according to
word received here today. Funeral
services will be conducted in New
York Monday morning.
Mr.. and Mrs. Elliott had BEEN at
Jekyl Island, Ga, for a short stay. and
were on their way to New York when
Mrs. Elliott became i'll.
Mrs. Elliott was a native of st.
Louis, Mo-, where she was married
and lived until 1904. Later the family
moved to ST. Paul, where Mr.. Elliott
had his headquarters while president

afterward lived in Boston, where Mr..

ECLIPSE DISSERTATIONS SHOW
SUMS CORONA is PARTLY SOLID
Temperature Not High Enough for AU-Caseous
Flame, Bureau of Standards Scientists
Here Declare.

perature to be 5000. degrees above
absolute zero, in spite of the fact that
previous observations have indicated
the temperature to be about 5000 de-
grees. The difference in the two tenn
peratures gives ground for the in
ference that the corona is made up
in part of dense matter, because if
it were all incandescent gas the tenn
perature would be higher.
Fills Gap i'm Data.
In measuring the time of the eclipse,
or rather the time of duration of the
observation, I. G.. Priest, another bu-
reau expert, sought to give astrono-
mers better data for calculating the
movement of the moon. There is a
gap in proved data which makes the
time of the coming Of eclipses uncer-
tain by several seconds, and although
this circumstance is philosophically
accepted by ordinary humanity. it is
annoying to scientists.
The bureau also was concerned in a
general attempt to establish the in
fiuence exerted upon wireless trans
mission by the suns observation, but
it's decisions on that point await the
assembling of very large number
of observations.

A standardization of scientific knowl-
edge gathered from the suns eclipse
January "a has led the Bureau of
Standards to three main conclusions.
These are:
That the suns corona. which is
the scientific term for the radiant
mantle of material stretching to great
distances from the main orb, is in
part composed of solid or liquid ma
terial. and not entirely of gas.
That the existence of an element in
the sun, Professionally dubbed "coro-
num-" which has never been encoun-
tered on the earth's globe, is fairly
well established.
That new method of timing
eclipses, based on the phenomena of
light, can be worked out and applied
on June %, 1927, when the next
great eclipse of the sun, visible in
Europe, is due.
Study Other Findings.
DR.. George K. Burgess, director of
the bureau, and his staff of experts
who made a variety of Investigations
during the few moments the sun was
yelled, reached these conclusions at
a meeting at which they brought their
preliminary compilations together.
They are continuing comparisons with
the findings of other scientists.
DR.. c. c. Kiess, who took a spectra
observation from the airship Los An
geles, detected again in his photo
graphs the green and red lines which
are believed to denote the existence
of "coronium." His findings checked
accurately with those of previous OBJ
servers who have sought evidence as
to the possible new element.
Temperature Is Test.
The conclusions as to the solid and
liquid matter in the corona rest
largely upon the experiments of Drs.
H. II. Stetson and w. w. CoblenZ,
aimed at establishing the exact tenn
perature of the sun. DIR. Coblenz,
using better instruments than his
predecessors, found the corona tenn.

Freak Explosion

SeiUer Gas Bursts Man
hOle-Tictinl Shocked,
to Recover.

Fate turned a queer trick late yes
terday when Marion Walther. IA, of
1903 Forty-firSt street, stepped on a
manhole cover at Wisconsin avenue
and Fessenden street just as an accu-
mutation of gas in the conduit below
exploded and blew him into the air.
Witnesses to the freak accident differ
as to the distance he was raised, re-
ports varying from to 20 feet.
Marion landed on the roadway with
force enough TO break an arm and
render him unconscious. Jason r.
Caukin. 4201 Fessenden street, whose
daughter Inez and Louis Gardner. a
compa nion., were with the hoy when
he was injured, took him to George
town University Hospital.
The patient regained consciousness
during the night and was reported at
the hospital this morning as being
much better. His recovery is eX-
pected.
Covers of three manholes were af-
fected by force of the explosion. and
the loud reports alarmed nearby resi-
dents.
Catherine Walther, sister of the in
jured boy, witnessed the accident from
a nearby window. Herman w. Wal
Their, father of the injured boy, is a
clerk in the Post Office Department.

BULGARS ALLOWED
TO INCREASE ARMY
Permit of Ambassadors Fol-
lows Strenuous Pleas by
Alarmed French Leaders.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

By Cable TO The Star and Chicago Daily News.
PARIS, April 23.-After a heated
debate the Council of Ambassadors
has granted Bulgaria permission to in
crease its army by 1000 men, under
the express conditions that this is only
temporary measure, that the men
he oemobiliZed by the end of May and
that the necessary military equipment
should be taken from the existing
meager army stores.
The permission was granted after
a lively exchange of messages between
Paris and Belgrade, competent French
authorities having urged the govern
ment to impress upon Belgrade au-
thorities the necessity of Bulgaria s
demands being. granted before it was
to late.
French Leaders Alarmed.
French authorities who have been
watching the action of the Moscow
revolutionary committee in eastern
Europe for long time, have become
alarmed lately at the increased &C
tivities of the Komintern in Bulgaria,
which seems to offer Soviet leaders
in Moscow excellent ground for their
world revolution plans.
Bulgaria has been in continual
upheaval ever since the end of the
war. Her neighbors. always sus-
picious of her bellicose intentions,
forced her to reduce her army to even
less than a police force. On the other
hand, political strife has kept the
country always on the verge of revo-
luton.
Supported by Army Men.
The present government, which
succeeded the Stamboliski cabinet, is
supported mainly by former army
officers and few intellectuals. 1t has
made certain number of political
errors which gave chance to the fol-
lowers of the late Stamboliski to
regain their popularity among the
peasants. They, together with sec
ton of revolutionary Macedonians,
have become admirable tools in the
hands of Moscow.
The crimes committed last week
are considered in well informed quar-
ters here as only the first act of a
more bloody tragedy Moscow leaders
are preparing to play in Bulgaria in
the course of coming months.
French authorities believe the pres
ent permission given Bulgaria to
increase her army is only palliative.
Their opinion is that unless Bulgaria
is allowed to form an efficient body of
well armed frontier guards it will be
unable to thwart Bolshevist plots.
