TUBE FOR PROJECTING
THE CATHODE RAY OF
COOLIDGE ANNOUNCED

CHICAGO, Oct. 19.-(P-Perfection of
tube for projecting the Cathode ray
of Coolidge, one of the most powerful
rays known to science, was announced
today by DR.. A. F. Tyler of Omaha
Nebr., publisher of the medical jour-
nal, Archives of Physical Therapy, be-
fore a meeting of the American College
of Physical Therapy.
The development was the work of
DR.. w. d. Coolidge, Phi. D., of the Gen
eral Electric company at Schnectady
N. Y, who also is the inventor of an
x-ray tube.
No method of controlling the ray,
which first became known inside
x-ray tubes, has been devised, and it
is not yet adapted to medical work
"The cathode ray, which we have
known for many years, is ray which
passes between the cathode and the
anode inside the x-ray tube" said DR..
Tyler. The cathode is the negative
terminal in the passage of an electric
current and the anode is the positive
terminal
1--WE did not know the ray was so
powerful until Coolidge devised a
method for projecting it so that it
could be studied and used. He has
found out such things regarding it's
action on animal and plant life as:
1.-The rays destroy animal and plant
life very quickly.
with a fraction of a minutes ex-
posure on mouse they disintegrate
the whole body.
"It is one of the most powerful rays
known"
DR.. Tyler is a former president of
the Pathological Society of America.
He placed the cathode ray of Coolidge
as first in strength, ahead of the Mil
likan ray and the x-ray.
The Millikan ray, discovered by DR..
H. A. Millikan while he was a profess
lsor of physics at the University of
Chicago, was known by scientists, but
had not been controlled, explained Or.

SENATE COMMITTEE To-
INVESTIGATE INDIANA.|
POLITICAL CORRUPTION

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct 19.-P-Sena-
tor James A. Reeds senatorial COM
mittee today Joined the search for the
corruption that is alleged to exist in
Indiana politics. The decision of Sena-
tor Reed to go on the trail of the COR
ruption charges was made today at
Chicago, while a grand jury here press
ed its inquiry into the same matter
with three-hour examination of Fred
Butler, former secretary of D. C..
the ku klux khan, is reputed to have
held sway over high officials.
Meanwhile Thomas II. Adams, pub
Usher of the Vincennes, Ind, CONNER
cial, who with several associates has
pursued an Independent investigation,
continued in Columbus, Ohio, his search
for evidence to substantiate charges
that he insists he can prove before
fair Investigating body.
Clyde A. Walb, republican state
chairman, and r. Earl Peters, state
democratic chairman, were summoned
to appear before the Reed committee at
Chicago tomorrow. Thus far no other
Hoosiers have been called to Chicago,
although the dispatches said several
former ku klux klan leaders might be
subpoenaed Adams has declared that
his investigation developed that Ste
phenson, while he headed the khan in
Indiana, entered into corrupt agree
ments with officials high in state,
county and city governments.
The long examination of Butler, who
was in the grand jury room through
out the afternoon session, coupled with
the fact that other close associates of
Stephenson have also been subjected to
lengthy Interrogation, was taken as
an indieatio nthat the Investigating
body was going thoroughly into the
ex-grand dragons activities. How
ever, the secrecy that surrounded a
grand jury session prevented any au-
thoritative information as to the prog
ress of the investigation.

Arizona always has had high re-
gard for the rights of others; it is
not county of California, or a
county of Colorado but a sovereign
state, and it is not to be dictated TO
by any other state, pact or league.
/'Why, the entire area OF Arizona
is in the Colorado basin; it is not 10

cent Arizona, and whether it is ac-
cidental or not, the fact remains that
Colorado are located within it's state

"Arizona is not to be threatened to

told of his plans with regard to the

A referendum on the prohibition of
spirits was proposed in the speech
from the throne read at the formal
opening of the storting last January.
I'rior to that there had been consider
able agitation for the resembling of the
law banning alcoholic beverages over
21 per cent alcohol About seven years
ago a law was passed prohibiting all
beverages containing above IA per cent
alcohol. This law was changed in
1928. raising the percentage of alco
holic strength to 81.
Premier Lykke has contended in pub
lie utterances that enforcement of the
prohibition law was impossible and
that the measure led to contempt and
disregard of all laws, to extensive
smuggling and incitement TO drink.
Various organizations urged the aban-
donment of prohibition on the ground
that only the teaching of sobriety and
temperance would be effective in elm
mating the abuse of alcohol for bev-

some discouragements, for the first
litters of pigs, farrowed in March,
were poor and their hogs did not win
any prizes when shown at the county
fair. But when the boys had sold
their fattened hogs and completed
their records at the end of the sea-

Altogether, according to reports to
