Judge A. c. Finney this morning.

Offer Award For
Appar atus To
Measure Energy
BY JAMES X. MAETINDALE
United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Sept. 25-An award
of $4,000 will be paid to the in
dividual who perfects mechanical
apparatus delicate enough to regis
ter accurately the energy given off
by disease, DIR. Frank Chaffee, San
Francisco, announced at the second
session of the American Electronic
Association here today.
DR.. Chaffee announced the award
on behalf of the College of Elec
tronic Research, San Francisco, of
which he is president.
An apparatus of this nature, free
of the human equation, is the su-
preme need of the medical profes-
sion. DR.. Chaffee said in an address
to the association.
Medicine seeks some infallible
method of diagnosis he said, "to
replace present methods of physical
and symptomatic diagnosis which
statistieians agree is only about so
per cent correct.
"In cancer alone, where detec-
tion of the disease in its early
stages is of vital importance, the
saving of life would be tremendous.
OF the 100000 to 100000 who die
in the United States every year
from cancer, a large number of the
victims could be saved if the NAL
ady could be detected before it is
too far advanced.

APPEAL VOICED TO CAME BOARD
 BY STOCK MEN
C am e Commission Asked to Liberalize Regula-
 tions on BrcNn Bear

That the Alaska Game Com mission will undertake to regu- late the killing and protection ct brown bear so that settlers on 1 farms and livestock growers can obtain adequate protection for their property was indicated yesterday afternoon Statements made by members of the Commission, fol- lowing the appearance of Jack Me Cord livestock man of western Alaska, and R. F. Robertson, local attorney yesterday afternoon at the first public hearing during it's current annual meeting
 Both MT. McCord and Mr Ro5- ertson were before the Game Board on behalf of the Kodiak Livestock Association which is leading the efforts being put forth to secure a. modification of existing regula- tlons protecting brown bears. The Association, while seeking the removal of protection to the extent that stockgrowers can take any measure necessary to free their stock from the menace of bears, dees not advocate a blanket re- -moval of restrictive regulations.
 The two witnesses yesterday put the growers case squarely before the Commission, citing figures on losses of animals and damage tc property, and appealed for relief It was emphasized that this was necessary in order that develop ment of the stock raising industry in the Kodiak-Afognak Island group be not nampered. MT. Mo Cord predicted that many settlers would be drawn to that region in the not distant future and estab- fish prosperous industry. and the removal of the near menace was necessary in order to bring about a maximum development.
 H. ". Terhune, Executive Sec retary of the Commission, while net committing it to any definite policy, said the whole matter was being seriously considered by tho Commission which would thrash it out and attempt to devise regulation that would meet the ap- proval of the stockraisers and give them the relief for which they nave appealed 5s
 The Commission resumed its public hearings again this after noon. The final hearing will be held tomorrow afternoon from 1:30 to 3:30 o'clock.
