TROOPS ARE READY
TO ENTER ILLINOIS
Mine STRIKE Fight
Held in Readiness at Decatur
and Springfield For
Emergency Duty

Taylorville, Ill.,, Aug. l9.-(P)-Illi-
nois national guardsmen Friday stood
ready in two nearby cities to move
into Christian county in event of dis
turbsnces resulting from the presence
of more than 10000 striking miners
intent on picketing working mines.
The troops were moved out of Camp
Grant at Rockford early Friday and
sent to their home armories at Deca-
tur and Springfield. both less than 30
miles distant.
Christian county was occupied Fri
day by the striking miners from ad-
jacent counties. The occupation was
made without incident. Sheriff
Charles Wieneke had previously re-
moved the barricades on highways
and sent his large force of special
deputies to their homes.
The sheriff had intended to resist
the invasion Of the striking miners.
as Christian county diggers were at
work in most OF the mines in the
county. The decision of several To-
calls to join the strike movement,
however, caused the sheriff to aban-
don his resistance to the invasion.
Troops held under arms for posi-
bic duty here are three units with
headquarters in Springfield and one
whose home armory is located at De-
catur.
Local Unions Join
Two of three mine locals here have
voted to join the strikers who seek
abrogation of the reduced IS daily
scale agreement.
The invading miners, joined by
late adhcrents from this county, held
4 mass meeting Thursday night at
Kincaid. They plan to hold another
mass meeting Saturday.
But three large mines In Christian
county worked Thursday and all were
closed Friday.

A graphic idea may be had Of
the accomplishment in disinte-
grating q lead atom from the
more than 200 electrons and pro-
tons that compose 1t. Atoms

lists have been light" that Is
made Of comparatively few cleo
irons and protons.
The lead atom was disrupted by
q voltage Of 100000. The
smashing was done by q stream
Of protons striking the lead.
This seems to discredit fantas-
tic tales about the possibilities
from atom smashing.

PHYSICIANS ASSERT
END IS MATTER OF
ONLY A FEW HOURS
Members of Reunited Family
Rest Nearby After Long
Vigil at Bedside
RECOGNIZES HER DAUGHTER
Regains Consciousness After
Efforts of Nurse Who Had
Been Dismissed

Chicago, Aug. 19.-(P-The death
OF Mrs. Edith Rockefeller Mccormick,
physicians say, Is but matter of
hours.
Early Thursday, however, the wom-
an who once was known as the rich
est in the world, was sleeping peace
fully in her suite in a local hotel.
Physicians and her nurse stood watch,
awaiting developments, while men,
bers of the sick won1an's family rest
ed from their long vigil at hs- bed
side, in nearby rooms.
1t was a tense day for the McCor-
mick family, united by sickness after
long-cnduring schisms, as was Thurs
day when Mrs. Mccormick sank into
coma from which doctors said she
would not recover. There was frantic
activity to revive her sufficiently to
recognize her younger daughter,
Mathilde Mccormick Oser, who ar
rived after 1000 mile trip from
Switzerland to be at her mothers
bedside.
Relatives of the stricken woman
gave Florence Everett, East Hampton,
Mass. nurse, credit for reviving Mrs.
Mccormick to consciousness so she
could greet Mrs. Oser, whose mar
riage to Max Oser, Swiss riding mas
ter, was the cause Of maternal es-
arrangement.
Miss Everett had been dismissed In
the belief that further ninistratiOns
would be fruitless and was at a rail-
road station about to depart for
home, when Mrs. Oscr arrived. Mrs.
McCormick's secretary hurried to the
station and found Miss Everett just
before the train left. Commander
ing an escort of motorcycle police,
the two jumped into a taxicab and
made all possible speed back to the
where the nurse admins
tered treatment for which she has
been specially trained.
The result was beyond the highest
hopes of the assembled relatives.
Grouped around the daughter of
John D. Rockefeller, we're Harold F.

their children. Fowler Mccormick.

Desenzano, Italy, Aug. 19.-tP-
Prof. Auguste Picard, rested Friday
after his record-breaking ascent into

he would begin Immediately to pre-
pare for a third ascent from the

he said, I'VE will begin preparations
for the third experiment.
We plan to take off from the
northwest shore of Hudson Bay, as
close as we can get to the North Pole.
Our purpose will be to complete the
study of cosmic rays at a point where
the lines of magnetic force penetrate

"A solution for many scientific
problems will be provided when we
know how the rays act under these
conditions"
The third expedition, he said, would
not begin until the middle of next
summer.

on the flight, slept for. II hours
