WASHINGTON. D. C., July l. Especial Correspondence)-A con- ference this week in which Com missioner of Indian Affairs John Collier, Territorial Commissioner of Education Anthony E. Karnes and Delegate Dimond participated was the opening move in the endeavor to have the Federal Government assume greater financial re- sponsibility in the education of AL aska Indian children.
 At the present time the Territory is paying for the education of sev- eral hundred children of Indian blood, a charge, it is believed, which should properly be borne by the Office of Indian Affairs.
 Commissioner Collier was very sympathetic to the representations made by MT Karnes and MT. Di- mond.
 New Policy
 Suggested to him was an entirely new policy with respect to educa- ton of Indian children.

 Miss Keep was fortunate in hav- ing as sympathetic an accompanist as Mrs. Trevor Davis who per formed beautifully at the piano during the evenings entertain ment, and added greatly to its success.
 Ross Appears
 Jack Ross, violinist, who made his bow to Juneau audiences at the concert last evening, executed his part of the program capably and was well received. He gave two groups among which perhaps the best was Slavonic Dances No. 9, E. Minor, by Dvorak -Kreisler the first selection in the second group, which he executed with professional ease and proficiency. MT. Ross was good enough to give numerous encores in response to the enthusiastic ap- plause.

CROWD SHOWS ENTHUSIASM AT
 FINE CONCERT.
Miss Ellen Keep Is Pro- nounced Artist-Jack
 Ross Makes His Bow

Miss Ellen Keep charmed the audience at the concert given last evening in the Presbyterian Audi torium with the beauty of her voice and grace of her stage pres Ience. It was Miss Keeps second appearance in Juneau and those who heard her last year were amazed at the improvement in what had seemed a perfect voice, and the added poise, in a stage presence that had previously won great admiration. Music lovers hearing her for the first time were enthusiastic in their apprecia- tion of the lovely artist.
 While Miss Keep executed every number with extraordinary ability, she was at her best in "Bois Epaisv by Lully, which as the first selec- ton of the evening provided her with a beautiful entrance and was wonderfully well done. Other se- lections which might be chosen from the program of rare excellence for mention were, "Immer leiser wird mein Schlummer, Brahms; Die Ehre Gottes aus der Natur," Beethoven; The Sea-" Mcdowell; Folk song" Chadwick, and among the Norwegian folk songs, Syn nove's Sang Kjerulf and "Jeg els ker dig GIieg. in which the tone quality and volume of her wonder full contralto voice were given full opportunity for expression.
 Wide Range
 Miss Keeps selections covered a wide range of the masters and were in divers; tongues, among all of which she seemed equally at home. She gave nearly perfect interpreta- tions and the tone color of her voice is one of it's greatest charms. together with her ease and lack of. strained effort in both the resonant and pianissimo notes.
 Dignity and Poise
 In addition to her lovely and powerful voice, Miss Rsep has a dignity and poise which make her stage presence strikingly beautiful and together with the perfect com, mand of her voice make the pro- phecy that she will be heard of in grand opera before many years, one which requires no great vision.

 Popularity of the Juarez proxy marriage is made possible by strin- gent divorce laws in other coun- tries.
 Tn Argentina, for example, there is no complete divorce-only legal separation" explains Attorney Sal vador Franco Urias.
 Argentine couples who want 8 complete divorce so that they may marry again cannot obtain one in Argentina. So they take advan- tage of the Chihuahua law, throw off the old mate, take on a new one, and everything is perfectly legal, since Mexican laws are recog- nized throughout Latin America.

Experimenters Came Closer to
Penetrating Unit to Find
Energy Source
MEDICINE MADE BIG STRIDE
cosmic Ray Tempted Eminent
Researchers Into Wide.
Scale Experiments
By WATSON DAVIS

Science in 1892 kept pace with the
worlds increasing demand that It
lead the way to greater knowledge OF
the universe's mysteries, greater
practical knowledge which men may
apply and use.
Closer and closer it came to pene-
trating the heart Of the atom and
releasing the unguessed energies be-
lieved to be prisoned there. Yet
while 1t wrestled with such cosmic
forces. practical results like discov-
cry of the probable cause of tooth
decay, anti-typhus and yellow fever
vaccines, new and better patn-re-
lieving and anesthetic drugs, appli-
cation of the gyroscopic stabilizer to
a huge new ocean liner, and new dis
coveries Of mans past history on
earth were achieved.
Greater, potentially at least, than
any of the completed accomplish
ments of science, were the steps TAX
en- toward the problem Of the atom,
its disintegration and its possibilities.
For the first time, the atom was
broken, first by two young physicists,
Drs. ]. D. Cockcroft and E. T. s.
Walton at Cambridge, then by Drs.
Fritz Lange and Arno Brash, in Ber-
lin. Atoms had been disintegrated
before through exposure to the ac-
ton of cosmic rays, but the new ex-
periments 'artificially" smas h z ID
them by bombarding them with an
electric current of high voltage. An
atom being apparently a particle Of
matter highly charged with elec-
tricity, electrical energy was released
on the splitting of these atoms.
Establishment of this fact is be-
lieved to make certain that If atoms
can be disintegrated on q practical
scale, great sources of energy WILL be
released. No one knows how much
some say not enough to be worth
anything; some say enough to de-
stroy the world. That Is why these
experiments were epochal.
Further. in the course of splitting
hydrogen atoms, helium gas resulted
leading men to return to the old
dream of transmutation of metals
AS the year closed, q German physi-
cist and chemist was working in Ber-
I, lin under government eyes in an at
tempt to transmute masses of mica
slate into gold. partly by chemical
partly by the physical atomic method
suggested above. It was this bring
ing Of mankind to the brink of what
may be an epoch that made 1882 .
marked year.
