facing, Roy Gardner, mail robber,
wide'y known for hit escapes front
prison, was checked in at the fed

serving icntencea aggregating 75
years. In custody of four officials
he arrived from Phoenix. Ariz.
Less than two hours after he was
admitted to the prison Gardner inti
mated to guards that he would at
tempt to duplicate his previous sen
sational escapes. A guard handed
him several packages of tobacco,
which Gardner had in his possession
when checked in. "What's this?"
the guard asked.
In "Double Irons,'
"Thanks," the prisoner answered;
"it's just about enough to last nic
for as long as I'll be here."

ly watched by J. P. Dillon, United

Arizona; John McGrath, chief of de

cific railway at Phoenix, and E. J.
Crowe, city detective of Phoenix,
Gardner was met at the Union sta
tion by Fred Zorbst, deputy warden
of the federal penitentiary.
As Gardner was being escorted
across the temporary wooden bridge
leading to the prison's main entrance,
he laughed and inquired, "What's
this? The Bridge of Sighs?" '
After he had been checked in and
his commitment papers signed by
Warden W. I. Biddle, Gardner shook
hands with the four officials who
brought him from Phoenix and
thanked each one personally for the
courteous treatment of him during
the trip. As mementos of the jour
ney he gave his broad-brimmed cow
boy hat to McGrath and his necktie
to Detective Crowe.
This morning Gardner whill be
photographed, his fingerprints will be
taken and his Bertillon measurement
lecorded. He will be assigned to
work in the prison tailor shop, Wax

Talmadge Divorce J
Forecast by Gossip
New York, Dec. 16. Constance
Talmadge's "friendly separation"
from her wealthy and newly ac
quired husband, John Pialoglou, is
not proceeding as calmly as it
might, according to word reaching
the New York film colony from Los
Angeles today.
Mr. Pialoglou, in fact, is about to
be sued for a divorce, it is said, one
of the reasons being that the Greek
tobacco merchant was jealous of his
sprightly wife's career In motion pic
tures. When Miss Tatmadge recently
left for the Pacific coast with her
sister, Norma, it became known that
all was not well in the Pialoglou
household, and it was only after
much persuasion that Constance
could be brought to admit the facts.
"I do not contemplate a divorce,
however," she said at that time. "It
is to be only a friendly separation."
Since then, however, there has been
a change of opinion and today Miss
Beulah Livingstone, personal repre
sentative for the Talmadge sisters,
said there would be proceedings in
stituted for an absolute divorce.

Radium Failure
As Treatment.
Doetor Claims
Not Only Not Effective, But
Dangerous, lie Says Other
Physicians Dispute
Viewg.
London, Dec. 16. "Radium is a
failure. It is not only not effective at
a remedy, it is dungcroui, because iti
burning effect aggravate! instead ol
cures ducase. Many leading surgeons
have discarded it in favor of X-rays,"
This statement, which is reported
to have been made by Sir Thomas
Parkinson on his arrival in New
Zealand from London, has fallen like
a bombshell on scientific circles. Sir
Thomas Parkinson is physician to the
prime minister, and was formerly
president of the Chelsea Clinical so
ciety.
"I am very surprised to hear such
a blunt and definite mis-statement,"
said Dr. Stanley Melville, chief radio
logist at St. George's hospital. "Ka
dium is feeling its way, just like X
rayg, and the two together hold out
considerable r.jpe In the treatment
of cancer,
"The word 'cure' I wili toeniphvJ
ut this point is never permitted by
expert radium or X-ray workers, and
no honest claims to have effected
cures by it agency have yet been
made by those whose practical ex
perience alone gives them authority
to speak in the matter.
"We cannot be positive at present,
but within the next five years we
may have proved something. In the
meantime we. can assert definitely
that radium and X-rays have to
gether robbed cancer of its most
awful horrors and prolonged ' life.
Sooner or later we may acquire the
knowledge of what is a lethal dose
to a cancer cell.
"it is as ridiculous to assert that
radium is dangerous m to hold out
extravagant hopes, for the time be
ing, of its curative properties."
