AND
 GUIDE OFF t. TO SEARCH
 FOR BURKE
Will Fly to Kelly Banks to Hunt Missing Party Expect to Be Gone
 Several Days N

Pilot Everett WassOn and Guide Joe Walsh hOpped off from WhitehOrse at 10 o'clock this fCreroOn for Pelly Banks in a final effort to locate Pilot E. J. A. Burke and his two companions, Emil Kad- ing and Bob Martens, accord ing to advices received by The Empire in a special dis patch from the Agent of the White Pass and Yukon Route at WhitehOrse. WassOn and Walsh expect to be gone sev- eral days.
 The Pelly Banks are at the headwaters of the Pelly Riv- CT. Taylor and Drury have a trading post in that district at the junction of Campbell Creek and Pelly River.
 It is believed here that Burke and his companions, after leaving their plane, which was frozen in on the headwaters of the Liard River, might have travelled in the direction of Wolfe Lake, their an- nounced destination, and were pick ed up by Indians and either cared for or taken to the Pelly Banks.
 The note found by Wasson and Walsh on their recent trip to the Burke plane stated the party was short of food According to the note, which was found carved on the tree, the men had remained at the plane from October Il to October IT, when shortage of food forced them to leave.
 Wasson and Walsh intend to make a most thorough search, fly ing low over the district for any signs of the Burke party and also landing on the snow at any Indian camp sighted.

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-Albert
 Einstein's forthcoming Ameri-
 can research will be among men ;
 who have uncovered practical
 mysteries of space which even
 rclativity does not explain fully.
 Foremost is evidence that some where out in the immensely cold and seemingly empty depths Of space solid substance is all the time being created.
 The proof of this new creation is disputed, and the worlds foremost advocate for the affirmative is Dr. Robert A. Millikan, president of the California Institute fo Technology, where it has been announced Fin stein expects to do quiet research.
 Dr. Millikan holds that power ful form of radiation, cosmic rays, which both he and his opponents have identified as falling ceaseless- ly upon the earth day and night, come from tremendous energies used somewhere in space to create matter
 He has identified these rays from creation of hydrogen and helium and possibly iron.
 His opponents hold the radiation comes from the annihilation of matter in the hot centers of stars and that nowhere is there evidence of creation-in short, that the uni verse is running down to it's death.
 Mathematical studies such as Einstein has mastered are used to support deductions of both sides.
 Dr. Millikan, one of the worlds foremost physicists, is the first man to measure by experiment the cleo trio charge carried by an electron, at present considered the smallest bit of matter.
 The institution of which he is president will operate the new 200- inch telescope, an instrument that will see" four times as well as the present largest and perhaps bring to light more facts bearing upon relativity.
 Another great mystery, one Of the newest, is the red shift" of distant light. This has been meas ured recently by Dr. Edwin Hub ble, astronomer of Mt. Wilson, Cal, observatory of the Carnegie Insti- ute, where Einstein also is expect ed to work.
 The red shift means that ex- tremely distant universeS of stars on all sides of the earth appear to be travelling away from us with im- mense velocities.
 The greater their distance the faster they go. About 10000 miles a second is the highest recession ve- locity recently measured at Mt. Wilson.
 Astronomers doubt whether these velocities are real. If they are the whole material universe seems to be expanding, and out in the di- rection of it's edges the expansion is of explosive speed.
 If they are not real velocities, some scientists believe they will be found to have an important bear ing upon the laws Of evolution of creation
 Relativity is one means of work ing upon this riddle, and, in fact, relativity predicted the reckoning
