the contention of the attorneys for the

law" in their argument for a new
trial before Federal Judge Landls.
This morning the court demanded
proof of this statement: saying if it
were true he would mitigate the pun
ishment of the Alton.
District Attorney Morrison says if it
is shown that other roads do the same
thing other prosecutions will follow.
The judge gave the lawyers until

NAVAL OFFICER DIES ON TRAIN
of
RIVAL FOR RADIUM
London A rival to radium has been
discovered at the San Guillano mineral
springs, in Italy.
Professor Battelli of Pisa univer
sity, who "has announced the discovery
in a London paper, says it is a "gas,
which, when condensed, gives off a
substance whose active emanations
are comparable with those of radium."
Sir William Ramsay, the English
scientist, who knows all about radium,
says:
"It is probable that the substance
is radio-lhoraum. 'A young Italian sci
entist named Blanc stated a short
while ago that he had found in min
eral water traces of radio-thoraum.
Battelli's discovery, is almost certain
to be this."

NEBRASKA EPWORTH ASSEMBLY
WILLING TO MAKE RACE
In Letter to Ex-Chairman Jones Bryan
Expresses Willingness to Run if
Principles Will Be Advanced
Washington Former United States
Senator James K. Jones of Arkansas,
who was chairman of the democratic
national ' committee when W. J. Bry
an made his campaign for the presi
dency in 1896 and 1900, has received
a letter from, Mr. Bryan, in which he
announces that he will accept the nom
ination for president for the third
time if it is tendered him. The letter
is dated June 18, at Stockholm, and
is as follows:
"I have been watching political de
velopments and have noted with grati
fication the vindication of democratic
pronciples. You have correctly staged
my position. As I wrote to Colonel
Wetmore, I shall do nothing to secure
another nomination, and do not want
one unless the conditions seem to de
mand it. I may add that I enoy the
freedom of private life and feel that
I can do some good without holding
any office.
"There are, however, certain re
forms which I would like very much
to see accomplished, and to assist in
the accomplishment of these reforms
I am willing to become the party can
didate again if, when the time for
nomination arrives, the advocates of
reform are in control of the party
and think that my candidacy will give
the best assurance of victory. If some
one else seems more available I shall
be even better pleased.
"I need not assure you I am more
interested in seeing our principles
triumph than I am in the personnel
of the ticket.
"The country needs to have Jeffer
sonian democracy applied to all the
departments of the government, state
and national and I am content to help
to make this application.
" Yours truly
"W. J. BRYAN."

Held Under. Elklns Law ...
Judge Holt today handed down .an
opinion sustaining the demurrer inter
posed by Nathan S. Guilford, vice
president, and F. S. Pomeroy, general
traffic manager, of the New York Cen
tral railway, and C. Goodloe Edgar,
and Edwin Earle of Detroit, to the
federal indictment against them alleg
ing a conspiracy to defraud the United
States. The court, howeyer, sustained
the indictments charging the railway
and Guilford and Pomeroy with viola
tions of the Elkins antl-rebating act.
Judge Holt holds that the recent
amendment made by congress fixing
imprisonment for yiolations of the El
kins act, in addition to the. fine pre
scribed, is not retroactive and can not,
therefore, be held to include rebating'
in 1903, 1904 and 1905.
