CHICAGO, Oct, T, R-Ego- tism and selfishness, rather than physical or mental deficiencies, are prime factors in the case of automobile accidents, in the opin- ion of pr. Paul Schroeder, Illinois State crimologiSt.
 pr. Schroeder reached this con- clusion after studying the records and temperaments of prisoners at the State penitentiary convicted of manslaughter with an automo- bile.
 ''These men were all of average intelligence and average physical fitness, he said. But in nearly every case I found marked traits of selfishness, egotism and disre- gard for the feelings of others. ]"

Einstein Theory
Revolt
BY LYLE ABBOTT
1881. by International

(COpyrlSnL 1881, ny lnlSEndtlOH3I
News Service)
PASADENA, Calf, Dec. IS.
The universe is re-creating itself
This was the epochal declaration
today of DR.. Robert Andrews Milli-
kan, faculty head of the Cali.
fornia Institute of Technology.
A second amazing revelation by
DR.. Millikan was that German
scientists have raised a revolt
against the theory Of relativity
advanced by their countryman,
DR.. Albert Einstein.
Millikan, the apostle of opti-
mism, had already taken sharp
issue with the famous scientific
pessimist, Sir James H. Jeans, Of
England, who contends that the
universe of matter is gradually
disintegrating into rays Of heat
and light. He said:
Confirms Calculations
my associate, DR.. Carl d.
Anderson, and 1 have succeeded
in making the first measure
ments Of the vOltages of cOsmic
rays.
II a happy to announce
that the measurements coincide
with my previous calculations

this hypothesis, are given off
when atoms are formed in the
intensely cold presSureless
depths of interStellar space. In
the stars, where there is enor-
nous pressure and intense heat,
atoms are disintegrated into
rays of light and heat.
"That is sometimes known as
heat DEATH but the cOSmic ray
theory is that there is repro
ductiOn Of the more common
elements, such as hydrogen,
helium, oxygen, silicon and
iron."
Explains Life Cycle
DR.. Millikan explained that the
new theory is that there is a
life cycle instead of heat death
for the commonest elements OF
the earth, whose origin has never
been explained in any other way
When hydrogen, the lightest
and simplest element, is created
a ray of 25,000,000 volts is given
off, according to the theory.
DR.. Anderson measured this
voltage and found it was the
amount DR.. Millikan expected
Similarly the voltage of a cosmic
ray from, helium. which Is four
times as heavy as hydrogen, gave
off 100000 volts.

Wife of Accused, Whom Syrian
Shot in Shoulder, Sits in
CharIotteSburg Court

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va,
Dec. ia jury was selected
in circuit court here today to
consider the fate of Charles
Zehab, 40-year-old Syrian, ac-
cused of the Staying Of James
E. Sandridge, prominent mer-
chant and church deacon, who
fell mortally wounded by four
bullets from a revolver in
Zehab's hands on the Garth
road, October II.
From the venire of 26, the IL
men were gradually weeded out
by the matter of fact questions
by Presiding Judge l.. F. Smith,
occasionally assisted by Common
wealth's Attorney w. o. Fife, R.
L. jackson, another lawyer for
the State, or by one Of the three
veteran attorneys retained by
Zehab's wealthy kinSman, Azhia
Azah.
Imposing Talent
These three are: Harry NJ
Smith, jr., of Richmond; George
E. Walker and j. Callan Brooks,
both of Charlottesville. Zehab
would have had to go far beyond
State boundaries to have acquired
a more imposing array of legal
talent.
Sitting Immediately behind the
swarthy Syrian in the court
room is his young wife, whom
he wounded at the same time
he killed Sandridge, and who
spent a week or more in the
hospital with a revolver wound
in her right shoulder.
Unwritten Law
From the day of the Staying
until this time there has never
been a motive attributed pub
licly for the offense. Zehab
poured out an excited story to
the police and short time later
adopted an attitude of sullen
silence.
It is presumed that the "un.
written law" will be one of the
more prominent elements in the
case.

PARALYSIS
CHARGED TO TARIFF

railroad and former Republican ma
tional committeeman from Pennsyl-
vania, who said that high tariffs
were walls which all nations were
building against one another and
which were the greatest obstacles
to commercial recovery.
1.-The Hawley-Smoot tariff has
been tremendous handicap to
business" Gorrell said with empha-
sis. cit has invited retaliation,
which already has taken place on
the part of a great number of i'm
portant foreign markets.
TT has caused many foreign
countries to put into effect high
tariff rates, discriminatory against
American manufacturers, to the
benefit of other foreign countries,
especially England" the Indianap-
oils motor car manufacturer con-
tinued.
cit has caused even Canada to
operate discriminatory against
American manufacturers and put
into effect discriminatory tariff
rates. This has caused American
manufacturers to open plants in
Canada and to employ Canadian la
Dor instead of American workers.
"The Hawley-Smoot tariff has
deprived American manufacturers
of that profit necessary to produce
better factory and business con-
ditions. The tariff bill must be
modified before American business
conditions can hope to return to
normal"
