Miller's results insofar as they in
dictate absence OF an "ether wind"

readers should want TO use this in

Professor Miller's experiments prove
faulty and that his results have moth

BERLIN. Jan. 15.-Professor Day
ton C. Miller, whose attack on the
theory of RELATIVELY caused a sensa-
ton throughout the world, is all
wrong and the theory stands unim-
paired.
This was asserted by Professor
Albert Einstein, father of the theory,
in an exclusive statement to me.
What is more, Professor Einstein
is willing TO back his faith in his
theory with actual cash and take ON
any bets offered.
DISPUTES MILLER.
Professor. Miller claimed on a basis
of 5000 experiments on Mount Will
son he had discovered an "ether
wind" which made a difference in
the speed of light depending. on
whether the light travelled with or
against the "wind." IL Professor
Miller is right. not only would the
theory of relatively collapse but the
whole world Of scientific thought
backed by some 1000 scientific books,
would stand revealed as one of the
most gigantic mistakes of history.
Here is what Professor Einstein says
in reply to Professor Miller's claims
"If the results Of Professor Mil
ler's experiments should be confirm
ed the theory Of relatively could no
longer be maintained, for the expert
ments would then prove that. with re-
spect to the movement of the earth
under certain conditions, the speed
of light in vacuum would be de-
pendent on direction.
DISPROVE PRINCIPLE.
Herewith would be disproyed the
principle Of the consistency of the
speed of light, which is one of two
foundation stones, and the one on
which the theory of RELATIVELY rests.
"There exists however, in my view.
practically no possibility that Profess
sor Miller is right. His results are
irregular and point more to a still
undiscovered source of error than to
Systematic effect.
Furthermore Professor Miller's re-
suits inspire little confidence in them
selves because they assert q strong
dependence of the speed Of light upon
altitude above the level Of the sea.
GIVES BET TIP.
"Finally, the German physicist,
Tomaschek, likewise made electric ex'
periments at considerable altitude,
(the Tronton-Noble experiment.

boldest breaks for liberty ever known
: at the farm.
Two of the convicts were life term

Working in cotton field at the farm
the quartet claimed sickness and were
turned over to the TRUSTEES to be car

woods the men made a break and the
guards opened fire.
Two shotguns and two pistols were
emptied by the TRUSTEES. The men were
dead when the guards reached them.
The superintendent of the state farm
tonight said the break for liberty to-
day was the 18th made by the men
within the past year. They have made
several attempts to escape at night
and always worked together. he said.
This afternoon. he declared. they
were working with the hard gang"
composed of what the farm officials
termed the worst criminals in their
charge.
He said the guards told him while
in n small neck of the woods one of
the men made signal with his hands

heads and started off on a run. One
guard, on horse, opened fire with his
shotgun. but the guard on the ground
used his pistol After emptying these
firearms they alternated, one firing a
pistol, the other a gun.
