DEADLY BLOW
SHAKES Theory
OF RELATIVELY
EinStein'S Proposition Is En-
dangered by Cleveland
Scientists Discovery.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, May ga dy-
manic little man, DIR. Dayton G.
Miller Of Cleveland, Ohio, has come
out Of his laboratory after four
years Of quiet, diligent work, with
a challenge to the Einstein theory
II relatively which has been pro-
nounced a deadly blow" at that
hypothesis.
DIR. Miller astounded international
ly famous scientists at the national
Academy of Science meeting here
with his results, which have now be-
come the scientific talk of the hour.
AS he piled argument upon argu-
ment, there was frequent applause
from his audience, and a wild burst
at the end.
After DR.. Miller had finished his
exposition, DR.. Ludwig Selbea Stein,
one of the leading experts on the
theory Of relatively, pronounced the
results reached by DR.. Miller a
deadly blow" at the Einstein
theory.
Briefly, DR.. Miller upset, in his TX
periments, the famous, Nicholson
Morley theory that there is no drift
or shifting, as in clouds, In the
ether, upon which conclusion Elm
stein based his own theory Of rela-
tlvity. Since there is no drift in the
ether, Einstein held, there can be no
absolute measure of motion outside
of the earth. and therefore all mo-
ton must be regarded as relative
and there Is no such thing as abso-
lutte motion.
DIR. Miller, by his experiments,
has proved that there Is a drift of
the ether, therefore that motion can
be measured through this agency
and consequently that there Is such
a thing as absolute motion.
1t being established that there is
a drift in the ether, the measure
ment of motion Of other planetary
bodies and Of light is reduced to a
problem in mathematics. 1t be-
m such a problem as Is worked
out every day, in different form, by
the average school boy.
The Nicholson Morley experiment
was in Cleveland in 1887. While
there was a tiny fractional result
it was held by these two scientists
to be due to other influences and
they reached the conclusion that
there was no drift in the ether. DIR.
Miller, making the same experiment
In Cleveland time and again, So
cured a similar result.
In 1921, he moved his experiment
out to the Mount Wilson Laboratory
and there he found there was a
drift Of the ether. For four years,
he continued his experiments there,
and always the result was the same.
He came to the conclusion that the
result in Cleveland, showing no
drift, was due to It's situation close
to the surface Of the earth. He
used the same form OF experiment
used by the other two scientists,
and holds therefore that the frac-
tional result they got showed the
proof, even under similar conditions
at Cleveland, and that their deduc-
lions were wrong.

Interesting Moving Picture
Exhibited In City Hall

George c. Loop, of Philadelphia,
advertising manager of the Ford Mo-
tor Company, exhibited very inter-
esting two-reel motion picture in the
City Hall on Monday evening last.
These depicted intimate glimpses
Of Mr.. Ford himself, who despite his
great wealth, still retains his simple
style of living; also views of the
many manufacturing and assembling
plants; the mines and woods from
which obtains the raw materials; the
thousands upon thousands of en-
ployes, shown as they shift in their
lsbors; the rapid turning out of cars;
the efficiency of the manufactured
product, revealing it as it travels over
roads no other machine would at
tempt.
Mr.. Loop was an interesting talker,
and all thoroughly enjoyed his pic
lures. 1t is probable these will be
followed up by others land the public
would do we'll to watch for their ap-
pearance. They are worth seeing.

Burden To Worcester
If New Rates Pass

All railroads and water lines have
proposed an increase scale of rates
in the states of Virginia, Maryland,
Delaware, New Jersey, New York,
Pennsylvania and West Virginia,
which are known as Trunk Line terri
tory, also between those states and
New England states, and C. F. A.,
territory west of Erie, Pa, Pittsburg.
Pa, and Wheeling, w. Va.
The rates will affect all shipments
of all kinds between all points in this
and other territories. This case is
known as the Eastern Class Rate III
vestigation, ICC Docket No. 1879,
hearing was started in February,
1925. Notwithstanding scale No. 1
first proposed by carriers from, to
and between points on the Delmarvia
Peninsula showing an increase and
carriers have since proposd scale No.
z, which starts at Porter, DEL, and
takes in all territory south thereof to
Cape Charles inclusive and all of the
branch lines of the PR which prac-
tically covers the entire Eastern
Shore, and to illustrate exactly what
this means to this Peninsula, the
Chamber of Commerce has taken
Salisbury as a representative point
Of origin and New York City as a
representative point of destination,
and the following commodities: peach
es, carload, $20.70 increase per car;
Strawberries, carload, $4,000 increase
per car; cantaloupes, carload, $500
increase per car; cucumbers, carload,
$500 increase per car; sweet pota
toes L. c. L., $500 increase per car;
and using these figures as representa-
tive they find the total increase on
these five commodities based on sta
tistics of 1923 would make an increase
in the freight charges to be borne by
the shippers Of $167,711.20, annually.
Add to this the increase in merchan-
disc and other traffic and one can
easily see the burden that will be
placed on the Shore, whereas traffic
north of Porter, Del, and other points
in the State of Maryland and other
sections are being benefited by low
er scale of rates than the Delmarvia
Peninsula.

"HUNCHBACK OF N0TRE
DAME" HERE NEXT WEEK
Production Which Has Taken Coun.
try By Storm To Be Shown At
The Empire Theatre

Unusual interest is attached to the
presentation of the Universal special,
"The Hunchback of Notre Dame," at
the Empire Theatre on next Monday
and Tuesday nights. For many months
it has been widely heralded as the
last word in cinema art, but this was
taken with the proverbial grain Of
salt until after the world premier at
the Aston Theatre in New York City.
The Gotham critics shattered all pre-
cedent by using up more adjectivcs
of praise than even the most intrepid
press-agent would dare employ.
Carl Laemmle, president of Uni
versal, realized the great risk he took
in making changes in the MASTER
piece Of Victor Hugo; changes which
he defended, however, on the ground
that as a drama must entertain all
classes, anything offensive to any re-
ligious denomination must be deleted.
And, strange to say, all of the
changes were heartily endorsed by
the critics.
Lon CLANCY, one of the greatest
character actors on either stage Of
screen, plays the difficult role Of
"Quasimodo," the hunchback. He is
supported by such well-known players
as Patsy Ruth Miller, Ernest Tor
renee, Norman Kerry, Nigel de
Brulier, Tully Marshall, Brandon
Hurst and Gladys Brockwell. There
are rs principals and $500 extras in
the cast.
The entire Cathedral of Notre
Dame was constructed at Universal
City as well as eight squares of Pa
risan streets and houses of the period
of Louis XII.
Probably no stage or screen drama
has been given such uniformly high
praise from critics from coast to coast
as "The Hunchback." For the first
five months after it's world premier it
was shown only in the largest cities
Of the country. This was severe
test for any picture, and the fact that
it came thru with glowing colors,
shows what wonder film it must be.

Three years ago this League was
conceived and founded by Will H.
Dig, it's national president at meet
ing Of 81 Chicago sportsmen. Since
that time the League has organized
active units in 1000 cities and towns
throughout the United States.
Despite its short existence the
league has introduced and passed
many bills of vital importance to
national and state conservation of
the nations resources.
Notably the Upper Mississippi
River Wild Life and Fish Refuge bill
passed by the last Congress which
provides for the purchase and main
tenance of $50 miles of Mississippi
River bottom land extending between
Rock Island, ILL.,, and Lake Pepin

Ban Peddling Of
Frozen Oranges
In This Section

Several wagouloads of oranges,
condemned by inspectors of the
horticultural commissioner office
this week, bear testimony >to the
vigilance which Is being exercised
by this department of the county,
TO protect the public from inferior
fruit
Although most of the oranges
condemned, have been found to be
in good condition for eating, they
do not conform to the state stand
ardization laws which forbid the
sale of fruits which show they have
been damaged at least 4S per cent
by frost.
This morning several pcddlers,
who have been refused permission
to sell their oranges. drove to the
jail and the county farm, and pre-
scented their stock to the inmates.
Horticultural Commissioner Har-
rigan plans to take steps which will
prevent the sale of this kind of
fruit to the pcddlcrs at the packing
houses in the orange belt. 1t has
long been Il practice for pcddlers
TO purchase damaged fruit and ped
die it throughout the southern part
of the state. Harrigan states the
law is TO he enforced and that fruit
net conforming to the requirements
of the law will not be allowed to he
