Cambridge. Eng, May 2-(UP) British scientists have succeed ed in splitting the atom and In transmitting clements into other elements. The goal of ancient alchemiets and the dream of mod efn chemists was reached by Dr N. D. Cockroft and Dr E. T. s. Walton in experiments at Caven- dish Laboratory here.
 The experimenters succeeded in turning atoms of hyrogen into atoms of helium. They used volt ages of betwen 10000 and 600,- 900 to send millions of particls a second through vacuum tube.

 "We have just begun to fight" George 5. Leisure of New York, associate counsel said. "These people were victims of a crime they didn't commit--the attack on Mrs Massie. We'll fight to the last ditch."
 But unless Circuit Judge Charles s. Davis grants them a new trial when they appear before him next Frtday-an6 this Is regarded as highly unlikely--he will have no alternative but to sentence them to 10 years each "at hard labor"
 The jury recommended ieniency. but territorial laws compel the court to exact the maximum sen- tence. The prison board, with the Judges approval. may shorten the sentence to as little as three months.
 Persistent reports spread that to pardon the prisoners. The city's rumor. Although there was little like other territorial officials, re- tuBtu tO uibCubb the oaFC VII hhc ground 1t was still in the courts.
 Dnrrow is believed to be map ping m appeal to the territorial supreme court and Q request for a new trial, possibly on charges that Prosecutor John Kelley was prej- udicial in his closing address to the jury.
 The defense also noted frequent exceptions to prosecution alienist testimony and Darrow expressed dissatisfaction with Judge Charles Davis instructions to the jury. These may figure in the motion for new trial, Meanwhile the United Press was advised today that the seven white men on the jury voted solidly throughout the trial for the man. slaughter verdict while the two Chinese and three Hawaiians held out for 48 hours for acquittal. Tho white men finally convinced the other jurors to the manslaughter verdict.
 Apprehension for the jury panel was felt when several unidentified persons canvassed residential dis lricts asking ho usewives not to buy potato chips manufactured by Willie Beyer, German-American juror. Another report was that a chain store grocery employing Walter Napoleon, Hawaaaan.A Amer ican Juror, had suffered a drop in sales. A newspaper was deluged with telephone calls. asking If the names of the jurors would be pub lished again.
 Should Darrow's plea for a re- trial be denied, the defense plans to appeal to the Hawaiian supreme court, and. if necessary. to the nine circuit court of appeals In San Francisco. Curtis D. Wilbur. for mer secretary of navy. presides over the latter court.
 Ralph Bell, brother of Mrs For tcscue, said Mrs Massle would tes- tify second time against the four islanders on the attack charges. Kelley said the prosecution had no plans to suggest any length or sentence to Judge Davis. We don't seek vengeance," he said. "The verdict satisfied the ends of justice. 1 think Darrow ought to feel lucky, though. that his clients weren't convicted of sec ond degree murder"

 J. Francis Smith of this city. secretary of democratic state cen trai committee, left here early to- day for Hartford to attend a meet ing of the state party leaders. The committee on arrangements for the state convention meets in Hartford this afternoon to consider further plans and to discuss the question of a temporary and permanent chair man. Efforts are being made to have Homer s. Cummings Of Stam- ford, who was beaten by the Smith forces in his own city last week, be named chairman of the convention.
 Jouett shouse will make the key note address. However, because there is a bitter struggle expected between the smith and Roosevelt forces in the state convention on the floor, there are efforts being made to name a permanent chair. man. Cummings is a Roosevelt lead CT. Both factions consider the chair manship of the state convention an important matter because of the power the man in the chair Will have to recognize or ignore per. sons on the floor and to make rul. ings which will have the most I'm. portant influence on the general swing of the convention.
 Wednesday afternoon Mayor Frank Hayes of this. city will attend a meeting of the smith leaders in New Haven.

tionaI committeewoman in opposi- ton to Mrs Welch was predicted two months ago by the Democrat.
 As forecast fin the Democrat on Saturday, the biennial convention of the Federation of Women's De- mocratic Clubs in Bridgeport was the bitterest in the history of the organization. Forewarned that the Roosevelt New Guard faction of the federation, headed by Mrs Welch, the president. planned to deprive any officers of the organization backing Smith from reelection. the women behind the former New York governor went into the session expecting trouble. And 1t came.
 As result of the steamroller tactics practiced by the forces of Mrs Welch, the Smith women were dropped off the important posts and New Guard Roosevelt favoritcs elected in their place. Mrs Hayden of this city went under the steam roller with the other Smith women.
 But to-day the Smith women of New Haven and Hartford counties who felt the force of the steamrol- Ter were busy making plans for the formation of two militant organiZ- ations. one for each county. And from now on 1t is expected that the meetings of the federation will not be marked by the smoothness that they were before.
 The Smith women in the conven- ton also opposed a resolution en- dorsing Archibald McNeIl of Bridge port for reelection as national com mitteeman. However, they were overridden by the New Guard Roosevelt forces.
 The Smith women will back Smith in the state convention anl also ex-Mayor David F. Fitzgerald for national committeeman. They will be behind Mrs Whitney for the woman's post on the national com mittee from this state.
 Local democratic women were also greatly peeyed to-day over the fact that Mrs Hayden had not been endorsed for a place on the nation al delegation as fl representative Of the state federation. Of course, this was because Mrs Hayden is behind the smith movement. Three women were endorsed Mrs Welch, Mrs Mabel McQueeney Of Bridgeport and Mrs George Glynn of New Ha- ven. Mrs Hayden stood third in a straw vote taken on the question Of endorsements for national delegates among the members of the feder- ation. However, sne> was ignored and one of the other women. who ran behind her, was picked be- cause she was in favor of the Roosevelt campaign.
 However. the federation's action in endorsing women for the nation. al delegation will mean nothing II the Smith forces control the state convention. Tn view Of the drastic action taken towards Smith women at Saturdays session. it ts believed the smith leaders will use similar tactics at the state convention ii they have the control. And tt is ex' pected that the smith forces will be In control.
