for 5000 q share. In the end-or rather
in the Fall Of 1929-Mr. Taplin agreed
to take $l70. He saw the storm COM
ing which eventually brought stocks
crashing and the great depression.
Mr.. Taplin and his associates, hav-
ing cornered the market in the Pitts
burgh & West Virginia stock, made
clever deal which netted them huge
profits. The Pennsylvania Railroad
acting through the Pennroad Corpora
ton, believed that 1t was doing stroke
OF business for itself and its stock
holders when 1t prevented control and
ownership OF the Pittsburgh g. West
Virginia from passing into hostile and
competitive hands. 1t Is clear, how
ever, that In the transaction the value
Of the Pittsburgh g. West Virginia
was enormously inflated, in fact
"watered." Some one in the end has
to foot the bill for such watering Of
stock.
The record of stock watering and in
mated values during the days Of the
postwar boom in this country has been
revealed gradually in investigations
conducted by the Senate. by the Fed
eral Trade Commission and other
agencies 1t is sorry history. This
kind Of imitation in the values of So
called public utility stocks. including
the railroads, which are looked upon
as one Of the great public utilities,
means that the people must dig down
into their jeans to pay the interest
rates and the profits on the "watered"
stock demanded by the owners and
operators. It Is the kind Of thing that
has given impetus in this country to
the demand that the Government itself
enter the field Of public utilities, own
them and operate them.

Capt. Barnard Praised as
Humane Prison Warden
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
have just finished reading your
editorial" entitled. Trouble at Lor-
ton." In this connection I am glad
to be able to indorse all you say. Capt
M. M. Barnard is beyond a doubt the
most humane prison warden In all the
world. He is. the best friend to the
convict I have been able to find. He
is interested in making the prison a
decent place for a man to live who
has found himself in conflict with law
and society. He is also interested in
the convict when he gets out Of prison.
He is interested in the families of men
serving time. AS president of the
Prisoners Relief Society 1 have had a
chance to know all about the man
Barnard and I commend him as an
honest man with a good purpose to-
ward his wards. He has done well in
the proper management of the insti-
tutions be y connected with.

PASADENA, Cal, Sept. 25.
The creation of matter, one of
the mysteries of nature which
science for centuries has been
trying to duplicate, apparently
has been accomplished by man
at last.
From several scattered labor
atories here and abroad come re-
ports that would indicate that for
the first time human beings have
been able to form matter, by the
changing of pure motion into
solid material.
MOdesty Governs Claims
The principal report comes
from physicists of the California
Institute of Technology. who mod
estly limit their findings to a
description of facts illustrated
and backed up by photographs.
From these discoveries, however,
other scientists state that the
first inklin5 of the successful
creation of matter has been
achieved.
Simply ard briefly. the tale is
that rapidly moving radium rays
are converted into electrical par
ticles, with a consequent elimina,
tion of motion.
The achievement grew out of
the discovery by DR.. Carl D. An
derson, of California Tech. of the
positron, a positive electrical par
ticle of the same size as the elec-
tron, a negative particle.
Using this as a basis, w. n.

FACE CRISIS
ON ARRESTS

HARDIN, Sept. 25 G.N.S)-A
new crisis in the relations between
Soviet Russia and the Japanese
controlled state Of Manchukuo
threatened today with news OF
the arrest of the Russian station
master at Pogranitchnaya, the
deputy chief and stationmaster at
Manchuli, and other Soviet agents
at Siberian border points. They
are being brought to Harbin.
1t is reported here that the
Manchukuoan action was pre-
liminary to seizure of the partly
RuSsian-owned Chinese Eastern
Railway, an action which the
Soviet press has declared will
bring about grave results.
Three technicians have been
detained in connection with the
evacuation of Chinese Eastern
Railway property, including 70
locomotives, into Russia.
The Soviet consul-general here
protested to the Manchukuoan
foreign office, which replied that
the men were being detained not
as Soviet citizens but as Chinese
Eastern Railway employees who
were criminally responsible for
illegal acts.

Motion Made Into Matter
In New Scientific Test

Furry and J. F. Carlson, Of the
University of California, demon
strated with photographs that if
high-Speed radium rays hit the
strong electric field surrounding
the nucleus of an atom, two par
ticles, one positive and the other
negative, were elected.
Experiments In France
The California discoveries fol-
low similar findings accomplished
by bombarding metal lithium with
alpha particles in the laboratories
of Nine. Curie and Joliet in
France and Chadwick in England,
and expounded by DR.. Kenneth
Bainbridge, of the Franklin Insti-
tute, Philadelphia.
When the metal lithium was
bombarded with alphat particles
travelling about 10000 miles a Sec
ond, the bombardment yielded
boron plus one neutron. The neu-
tron is a recently found particle
having no electrical charge. The
alpha particles used were helium
nuclei thrown off by the chemical
element, polonium.
This boroneutron product of
the bombardment. when weighed,
proved to be heavier than the sum
of all materials which made it.
Specifically an original mass of
11.01416 on the atomic scale had
become 11.0202. The gain in
weight was .00604.
The only way to account for
this increased weight was to as
sumo that matter actually had
been creatSd.

'Mce DOggies"
The Ones That
Bite In D. T..

Since 1881 all of the hydro
phobia scares in the District have
been traced to nice doggies"
rather than mad dogs.
This is disclosed by records Of
Walter r. Smith, poundmaster,
and DR.. William C. Fowler, health
officer. Not one case of rabies
has been discovered here during
the past two years, records show,
although as many as six mad-dog
calls are received in a day.
Every year between 800 and 900
cases of dog bites are reported.
The guilty dog is then placed
under inspection for two weeks.
But while sick dogs, lost and
scared dogs and just plain thirsty
pooches have been found, not
single case Of rabies has developed.
