HEARST DISCLOSURES CAUSE
SENSATION  IN  THE  SENATE
Washington, Sept. 25.—A tremendous sensation has been caused in the senate by the disclosures of the Hearst newspapers that the government has been equally guilty with the shipbuilding interests in lobbying. It is stated that a lobbyist in the. pay of the administration was present at the sessions of the finance committee at which the recent tariff schedules were fixed.

WHEAT IS BEING  SENT
TO PRINCE RUPERT
ELEVATOR FOR STORAGE
Winnipeg. Sept. 25.—Unwillingness on the part of European buyers to pay the prevailing- price for wheat has resulted in plugging the elevators at the head of the Great Lakes, and wheat is going into storage wherever it can be obtained. One result of this has been the sending of some of the wheat to the elevator at Prince Rupert. As this is all number one wheat the inference is that it is destined for the European market, and that it will be held at Prince Rupert until market   conditions  improve.

Rev. T. F. W. dePencier, B. A. L.TH
Rector
New York, Sept. 24.—Complete aboli-licn in the United States of the radium paint industry, which produces luminous watches and dials for other instruments, on account of the positive danger of radium poisoning to workers, is urged by the United States Department of Labor in its report on an exhaustive survey of the industry, just made public.
In the event of war, when radium luminous dials are essential, regardless of the sacrifice involved, the department recommends the industry be reduced to a minimum and so many stringent safety measures taken to protect the workers that no ill effects could possibly result.
In normal times, the industry is not a necessity. Government officials en-p.aged in the survey declare, and American companies are ready to discontinue the making of luminous articles if their importation can be prohibited. Therefore, the Labor Department concludes, abolition of the industry should be followed by Federal prohibition of .such importation. This to protect the American companies, which would lose tremendously by the sale of imported luminous articles they were forbidden to manufacture.
Fifteen persons have died and there are now eighteen known living cases of radium poisoning, the survey which was just completed at the urgent demand and under the direction of Ethelbert Stewart, veteran United States commissioner of the bureau of labor statistics, points out. When it is considered that the industry in this country is not a large one and only 25& persons were engaged in it during the time of the survey, the records of deaths and illnesses "looks appalling" the report states "especially when it s remembered that the first known leath occurred in 1922." It has been estimated that not more than=»>2,000 individuals have been engaged in the work since it first began in this country in 1913, and considering that years often elapse before symptoms of radium paint poisoning appear, many more persons remain to be heard from.

|!Goddard Rocket Has the Backing of Scientists
Expected To Add To  Store of Knowledge of Atmospheric Conditions Surrounding  Earth
Explosive   Can   Carry   Rocket  for   200
Miles In A Vertical Flight and
Secure Desired Records
Washington. Sept. 24.—Dr. R. H. Goddard's rocket tests which have occasioned much comment' within the past few days have not been made with any crazy notion of securing communication with the moon as might be gathered by press comments. They are backed by the Smithsonian Institute scientists. The institution has spent more than $12,000 in the last twelve years in backing the experiments and Dr. C. C. Abbot, its secretary, made public from Dr. Goddard's official report the importance of the recent  explosive  test.
¦ No such  wild  project' as  going to I the  moon  is  contemplated,"  Dr.  Ab- j bot said.   "We wish to create a meth- I od   to  gather   meteorological  and  at- | mospheric data  in  outer space which man  cannot  reach   by  aerial  navigation, balloons or kites."
Delicate instruments will be carried | in the completed rocket, which will j be equipped with a parachute. . When j the force of the propellant is expended j the rocket, if everything goes as plan- ; ned, will float gently to earth and the instruments return unharmed.
What the ultimate value of the rocket is to mankind is a question of interesting conjecture to scientists, as it has been throughout the years to fiction -writers and inventors with a Jules Verne imagination.
Through the medium of the rocket science seeks to obtain four things-samples of the upper air for chemical analysis, measurements of temperature and pressure in distant space, camera spectographs of the sun beyond the ozane layer which now cuts out the region of the ultra-violet, and measurements at will of the condition of the atmosphere for aviation.
•'This last problem, of course, is of great practical interest," Dr. Abbot said. "A rocket which would be set to explore the meteorological condition of the air at any height, and to Dring back its record to within a mile of the starting point and within an hour of its sending, would be a boon to aviation.
"Sounding balloons, although they can rise to fifteen or twenty miles, often drift 150 miles from their starting point and may re\er be lcovered vith their recording roparatus, or only after days or weeks.'
Dr. Goddard propose:! tho development of the rocket to thp Smithsonian in 1916. He had already worked or, th? problem for several years. Hr showed by mathematics that it is possible for a rocket to carry sufficient high -power explosive to propel itself boyond The atmosphere, which extends upvardr at least 200 miles, and even to go beyond recovery of the earth's gravitation. Tt would then become a man-madp meteor in outer space.
With automatic stabilizers to insure vertical flight already designed, all that remains to complete the rorV-cr will be the design of automatic apparatus to record meteorological measurements, a camera to photograph the sun's spectrum, and air samplers.

Ottawa, Sept. 24.—In connection with the statement issued by the C. P. R. company to the effect ihat within the next five-year period it will spend $50,000,000 in the construction of-branch lines in western Canada, it
s asserted this programme will call for the building of a line of railway
nto  the  Peace  River canyon  to tap
he semi-anthracite coal under development there, and also open up a large area of lands on the north side of the Peace River for settlement. The building of the line up the Peace River from  Alberta will doubtless determine
the western tiutlet for the Peace River district to Vancouver.
