BEAU BRUMMEL IS LEPER SAMARITAN
Man Once Social Lion Dying in
 Shattered Health

Clarksville, Tenn, July 30 P - A beau brummel of 60 years ago became the good samaritan of the Molokai leper colony.
 Such Is the story recounted by Clarksville belles of that day grown old and reminiscent, their thoughts drawn to Honolulu hospital by news that Brother Joseph lies with shat tered health at S7 after A years Of foil.
 in the early eighties, they recall, Ira B. Dutton, handsome and dash ing Yankee who had advanced from the ranks to captain in the Union army. came to Clarksville as a gov ernment agent to settle claims of citizens for horses and quartermas- ter stocks seized by federal troops.
 Became Prominent
 Handsome and gracious, he be- came socially prominent and espe- cally popular with the belles of the day.
 They were surprised, naturally when he departed less than two years after his arrival to enter the Trappist monastery at Gethsemane, Ky.
 They had another stir when he reappeared in Clarksville three years later. completely transformed in spirit and appearance, and apolo- gized to the girls he had known for letting them believe he was a nngle man when he was married and had separated from his wife, who in the meantime had died.
 So eager to atone for the dvcep- ton he was that he spent a month
New Britain herald., 1930-07-30

in the community seeking out his friends.
 AS the years have passed they have read with interest of his work as Brother Joseph-in the leper colony. He has sent Christmas to- kens every year to several of, these friends.
 Went to Isle in 1886
 He went to the island in 1856 and three years later took up the work of administering the colony. By scrupulous care he escaped the dis ease and only recently was he per- suated to go to Honolulu for hos pltal care.
 Chancellor J. ". Stout, who as lawyer, presented many war claims before Captain Dutton, says 'of all the different men the government sent here I thought he was the fairest and most impartial"

0zARKS FARMER
 CLAIMS ll8 YEARS
Was Too Old to Serve in Civil War-Plans Birthday Party
Poplar Bluff, Mo, July 30 RI

Poplar Bluff, Mo, July 30 R)- Speaking of longevity and 156-year- old Turks, here's chap" from the Ozarks who claims 11S summers and who was too old to serve in the Civil War.
 Just now, while Faro Agha the Turk is demonstrating to America the spryness of his reputed 1856 years, Thomas N. Kemp is planning to celebrate his 119th birthday an- niversary soon.
 This American patriarch says September 10, 1911. was the date of his birth, and folks around Poplar Bluff generally accept his claim.
 When the War of 1912 broke out, Kemp says, he was just toddling around learning to walk. He says he remembers the presidential cleo tion of 1916 and every campaign since.
 And there's nothing very inhrm about this rugged old farmer. He thinks nothing of walking the five miles from his 40-acre farm in the Ozarks, to Poplar Bluff.
 Outside of being partially deaf, Kemp says he's "as well as a man reasonably can expect to be when he's nearing his 18th birthday" His memory still is good and his eye sight keen.
 He still likes to cultivate his farm and he says he's been farming for 110 years, since he was eight. Even now he always can find time to get out his shotgun and go hunting with the young folks"
 T was born in Huntingdon, Car roll county, Tennessee" says the aged farmer. My parents, Aaron and Tabitha Kemp. died when I was young. I was working regularly when I was eight.
 And in those days Kemp re- calls, boys had to work from the time they could life hoe.'
 His first regular" job was as a rider on the Pony Express and Mail. He was married in Kentucky in 1886, and his first wife died five years later. Two children were born to them.
 In 1S41 he was married again, this time to the sister of his first wife. She died 40 years later. They were the parents of seven children. six of whom are dead. One daughter Amanda, is 5S, and Kemp makes his home with her.
 Some persons doubt my age" says Kemp, but my daughter and ether relatives have checked all possible sources, and they are certain was born in 1S11.
 "Of course I am looking forward to many more birthdays," he insists.

PELLEY TESTIF|ES
 MI. |. |. HEARING
Denies Truck Line Established to
 Furnish Competition
Associated fresS fhoto

Hartford. July 30 (UP) dent John J. Policy of the New York, New Haven 6 Hartford rail- road denied today, as a witness be- fore the interstate vommerce com sion's sound lines hearing, that the New Haven road had esta ablished a more favorable basis with the Colo nial Navigation company.
 The Colonial company charges un- fair competition by the railroads steamship subsidiary the New Eng land Steamboat company and wish ed the l. C. C. to deny the roads ap- plication for permission 10 continue in control of the line. The Colonial has an agreement with independent truckers, who bring freight to the pier for water shipment.
 Used Trucks Long Before
 Pelley said he had instituted truck service before he ever heard of the Colonial line. He said shippers were satisfied with the present 'combina- tion Of rail. truck and steamer serv- ice and added that in his opinion a truck line operated by the New Ha- dependable than independent lines.
 T never heard of Colonial when started truck service" said the New Haven president. There was no thought of unfair competition"
 He said he personally had started truck service and intended to push it as far as the l. C. C. would allow. T intend to regain some Of this lost traffic" he said.
 My idea of transportation said Policy. lis that we are here to fur nish service of any type desired by the people"
 Lawyers. In Tilt
 Today's hearing opened with a tilt between lawyers representing the Colonial line and the New Ha- ven road The roads counsel said the Colonial lawyers had agreed to reveal the company's rate structure the proportion of revenue which went 10 the independent truckers for bringing the freight to the pier. The Colonial lawyers refused 10 dis close this information.
 President J. Rowland Gardner oi the New England Steamship com pany testified briefly, asserting that the New England has resumed pas senger service between Providence. R. I, and New York two years ago only after notifying the Colonial line.

X.RAY TESTS WILL
 BE GIVEN PLANTS
New Varieties and Better Ani-
 maIS Expected to Be Found

Columbia. Mo, July 90 lP-Nev plant varieties, improved animal breeds and hitherto undiscovered evidence on the mechanism Of heredity. variation and evolution are expected from the N-ray laboratory.
 X-rays have been made to bring about changes in heredity called mutation, in a brief space compared with the long, uncertain period of the leisurely- occurring natural ma jurauon.
 They have penetrated the body and germ cells with radiation which caused rearrangement and alteration Of tiny particles known as genes and chromosomes.
 one Of the scientists obtaining favorable results from this work, sponsored by the National Academy Of Sciences, is pr. Lewis ], Stadler of the University of Missouri college oL agriculture.
 Working on corn and apples prin- cipaIly, he has obtained nearly 400 mutations. while no such changes were noted by natural mutation in similar plants under comparison.
 Dr. Stadler obtained q single corn plant with one green and one yellow stalk. He produced another corn stalk only half sexed-that is, one portion Of the sex cells. in this case the male. was killed by N-rays.
 This plant appeared to be de- rrived Of about half it's energy so far as growth is concerned, being short, thin, almost grass-like. com pared with q normal corn plant.
 The most promising practical ap- plication." says pr, Stadler, appears 10 be in the vcgetatively propagated Cgrattcd) fruit trees in which up to the present time no breeding methods have notable results,
 If bud mutation can be induced in these plants in the way We have already shown it can be produced in barley, new variants will result n hich may be propa gated in pure form by grating, The possibilities Of improvemen by breeding would be increased several hundredfold by this method.
 The physical nature Of the chang in the cell which produces the hereditary characteristic is still un- known. But mutation IS the only basis of evolutionary change of treeding progress which we now know.'
 Other scientists working under the same sponsorship on radiation in Clude Prof. H. J. Muller Of the Uni versity Of Texas and F, E. Hanson Of Washington University St, Louis.
