grams of radium in the world.
To supply the demand from sci.
entists for more of the substance the
Union Miniere du Haut Katanga has
resumed work at the plant built in
1922 after the discovery of the radium
deposits in the Belgian Kongo. The
intention is to furnish recognized sci
entific bodies with sufficient radium for
the study Of the application of large
doses.
The Belgian Kongo is not the sole
radium field. Ore containing radium
has been discovered at Lachaux,
France, and radioactive ores are
found in several other parts of the
world. including the United States,
Mexico and Canada The percentage
of ore in the Belgian Kongo mines is
much higher, however, and the proc.
esses of reduction from ore to radium
bromide have been better developed by
the Belgian Radium Co. than in other
countries.

PRESIDENT URGES
CROSSING SAFETY
Appeals to Railroads and to
Public in Letter to As
sociation Meeting.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April 19.-The red block
went up today against an increase
in grade crossing accidents as the
safety section of the American Rail-
way Association met in seventh an
nual convention.
An appeal both to railroads and
TO the public to exercise greater care
in an effort TO reduce the number of
such accidents was made by President
Coolidge in a letter which was reac
at the opening session.
THE loss of 2,492 persons and in
suries to 1891 others in the year 1925,
in crossing accidents the President
wrote, demonstrates the need of more
care and caution.
Insists on Ample Warnings.
'Unquestionably the railroads must
be required to give ample warning
of the approach of trains to highway
crossings, and throw around the nigh
way traveller at such crossings suit
able safeguards appropriate to the vol
ume of traffic.
with equal force there must be
public recognition of the need of q
very higsl degre Of care on the part
of motorists approaching and passing
which prudence dictates is exercised
at crossings by all users of highways,
then we shall surely curb the increas-
ing tragedies.
Hopes for Best Results.
''May your labors in directing at.
tention TO the hazards at crossings
be rewarded with gratifying results. -
Five hundred safety men from ali
railroads of the United States and
Canada are attending the safety sec.
tion convention.
r. II. Ashton, president of the
American Railway Association, in his
welcoming address, said:
1.-THE casualties of peace are even
more terrible than the casualties OF
war: for the victims of war were men
strong to endure suffering. but the
victims Of peace are often helpless
babes in mothers arms"
Drivers of 1853 automobiles crashed
into the sides of Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul Railroad trains in 1926
representatives of that road reported
to the section.
While highway crossing accidents
over the country took 2 ,492 lives, ar

COURT TURNS DOWN WILL
OF ECCENTRIC RECLUSE
Last Testament of E. B. Jennings
Bequeathing $1,000, 900 to For
mer Convict, Is Denied Probate.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April 19.-Judge Henry
Horner of the Probate Court yester-
day refused to admit to probate the
supposed will of the late E. B. Jen-
nings, wealthy eccentric recluse, who
died four years ago and left his ST.
000. 900 estate to Edward G. Koester,
a former convict from the Marquette,
Mich, penitentiary, who claims that
he is the son of Jennings. Refusal
was made because only one witness to
the viii had appeared in court to tes-
tify.
Koester's attorney opposed another
continuance to produce tho other wit
nesses on the grounds that they are
out of jurisdiction of the court and that
an appeal to Circuit Court would be
taken in any event at which time, he
said, the other witnesses, or deposi-
tions, would be produced.
Mary Stahl Warner, former public
stenographer at a hotel where Jen-
, nings lived, testified two weeks ago
that she drew the will and witnessed
it. The hearing was then continued
until yesterday to bring in William
Lawrence, Chester, N. Y, and Lester
J Ensign, Grand Rapids. Mich, and
other witnesses.
Nine distant cousins of Jennings
| have been fighting the will. claiming
| that 1t is forgery, and that Koester
/ is not the son of Jennings. They

WASHINGTON, Nov. If, by
chance, the 1928 Republican nation

deadlocked in the selection of a
presidential nominee and go to the
United States Senate for candi-
date. as it did in 1920, and pick Sem
ator Charles Curtis of Kansas, the
publicity men, the Sunday feature
writer's and the campaign orators
will have the time of their lives.
In the Senate Curtis now is one
of its most solemn members. He
takes his duties seriously. He says
little, not word more than is nee
essary. He is a conservative OF the
old school, a confdant of Smoot, a
friend of Coolidge and social COM
panion of the Longworths and that
group of Washington Qfficialdom
that has money, culture education
and family background.
Mother Was Half Indian
But Curtis wasn't always so, and
it is his early life which would make
him the most picturesque candidate
in recent years.
A child of the Kaw Indians-his
mother being half -Indian-Curtis
was raised on the Kaw reservation
near Topeka.
There were plenty of horses in the
West in those days and Charley
Curtis learned to ride early. When
he was about Il he decided that
Jockeys made good money and he
became one. For two years he rode
on all of the tracks throughout the
West.
But as Charley grew older his
parents concluded he was getting
nowhere. He had a common school
education and it was decided he
should study law in the office of
Judge A. j. Case in Topeka.

Charley deserted the track, but
he had to live while going to school
The young law student discovered
a broken down hack in the livery
stable. 1t was accommodating rust
and dirt-no dividends. Curtis OBJ
tanned two old mares and proposed
to the livery man that they go in
partnership, the latter to furnish
the hack and Curtis the horses.
