JAMES, CONDITION
IS SATISFACTORY

The condition of Kilby James,
Negro injured in a free-for-all
fight among Negro soldiers and
civilians Saturday night at 10th
and Nixon streets, was reported
by James Walker Memorial hos
pital authorities as satisfactory"
late Monday evening.
The fight which sent James to
the hospital with serious abdomi-
nal injury, resulted in the filing of
arrest warrants for both James
and Eddie Murphy of Ills North
Tenth street, another participant
in the ARRAY.
Pvt. Charles Williams, Negro
military policeman, reported to in
vestigating officers N. j. Wolfe
and M. M. Jeffords that he shot
James in the struggle to break up
d fight involving James, Murphy,
and Pfc. Sam Carter.
Williams declared that James
was beating Garter with a big
stick. When Williams interfered,
James tried to get hold of the
military policeman's gun. Williams
was able to turn the weapon and
fire the shot, the bullet penetrat-
ing James ABDOMEN.
Sgt. o. c, Hill, second military
policeman, wrestled with Murphy
Pfc. Garter was treated at the
hospital for decorations over the
left eye and released.

Soft Wood Changed Into Type
AS Hard AS Steel By Chemical

This compound combines with the
natural acids in wood to become
resin. The resin is like those which
form plastics. Like them, it is phi
able when forming, but sets per-
manently and becomes resistant to
heat, moisture and many chemi-
Gals.
The cost of transmutation is
from 3 IL to 4 IL cents a board
foot.
The announcement was made
and demonstrated at the Waldorf
Astoria Hotel by DR.. J. F. T. Ber-
liner and other Dupont ammonia
department chemists.
Large scale postwar timer
conservation is one possibility. The
United States lumbers only about
so species of forest trees, but has
nearly 1000 others that have been
industrially of little use, mostly be.
cause their wood is too soft.
The discovery not only widens
the range of numbering, but prom
Uses quicker replacement in some
new trees, foz softwoods often are
the fastest growing trees.
The chemical bath further can
be used to mold saWdust, shaw.
ings, cellulose and fibrous materi.

wastes and bamboo into hard

NEW YORK, April ia new
chemical treatment which makes
wood nearly as hard as steel, and
will produce a thousand kinds of
hardwood that never existed in ma
ture, was announced here today
by the Dupont Company.
The chemical bath transmutes
wood into virtually a new materi-
al, part wood and part plastic
1t changes almost any softwood
lumber into hardwood
These new hardwoods rival ma
lures best. Some exceed the hard
ness Of ebony, the hardest natural
wood. They produce riots of new
colors and grains. They go beyond
natural wood in durable finish and
in resistance to rots. They do not
swell, shrink or warp.
An oxy acetylene torch takes
almost twice as long as to burn
through a board of the transmitted
wood as through an equal thickness
of steel.

AGAINST
BONE CONSIDERED

WASHINGTON, April II. -(R-
Senate Republican leaders made
known today they are considering a
formal protest against any plan
by Senator Bone D-Wash) to serve
out his legislative term before tax
ing office as Federal judge.
Reports that Bone might retain
his seat until January, thus block
Ing appointment of a successor by
Republican Gov. Langlie of Wash.
lngton, circulated on Capitol Hill
Bone himself has said he intended
to stay until he winds up some af-
fairs and that he didn't know how
long that would take.
Senator White of Maine. acting
minority leader, reported the Re-
publican protest might take the
form of a motion to reconsider the
Senate's confirmation of Bones
nomination as a member of the
ninth circuit court of appeals. Con-
flrmatlon came within few hours
after President Roosevelt sent the
nomination to the Senate.
White said that step still was
in the "discussion STAGE, how
ever, and another Republican lead
err, who declined use of his name,
said it was more likely that the
Republicans merely would lodge a
formal protest for the record. "
The Republicans, this Senator said,
had decided that a motion for re-
consideration would have little
chance of adoption.
White earlier had declared that
Republican leaders consented to
waive Senate rules for Bones i'm
mediate confirmation in the be-
lief that Bone planned to resign
promptly from the Senate.
No immediate comment came
from Senator Bone, who is under
going treatment in naval hospital
for leg injury, but his office an
nounced that he had received ap-
proximately 200 letters from home
st9te constituents urging him to
complete his Senate term.
