"A number of years ago a reader of
one of your earlier works on radio
active substances noted the observa
tion that tLere was much divergence
of opinion as to whether the energy
of radio-active substances is created
within those substances themselves
or is gathered to them from outside
sources .and then diffused from them.
The Question suggested an answer
which is doubtless "hopelessly un
scientific. - Analogy Ia Drawn.
"I have liked to believe in analogy
between the spiritual and physical
world. I have been very sure that

active soul or spirit, or intellect call

MAIL INVESTIGATION".
AIR
Local Mechanic Who Testified Re
garding; Fatal Mishap Held to
Contradict Himself.
CHICAGO, May 20. Evidence in
tended to show that testimony of
James B. Alexander, local air mail
field mechanic, before a special board
investigating the government air
mail service, contradicted testimony
he had given at previous investiga
tions of accidents in the service, was
presented to tne board today.
A transcript of Alexander's testl
mony at an inquiry into the death of
three pilots in a fall at La Crosse,
Wis., was presented, and his recent
testimony before the board was cited
as bting contradictory..
Sr M. Moore, assistant superintend
ent of operation In the air mail serv-
ce for this district, and Paul L.
Dumas, lpcal field manager, were the
day's chief witnesses. .
At the inquiry into the La Crosse
ccidenr, according to the transcript
of his testimony, presented to the
board today, Alesander absolved in
spectors at the local field from all
guilt in connection with the death of
the flyers, pronouncing the plane In
satisfactory condition when it left
the field. His testimony given to the
board a few days ago, however, the
Uncases pointed out, supported the 1
contention of C. . C. Eversole. dis
charged pilot, to the effect that the
plane was defective.
The board of inquiry Into the La
Crosse accident was called by the
postmaster-general, and consisted of
Major McChord. in charge of the army
air mail service at Fort Sheridan;
Randolph Page, chief test pilot, and
John Jordan, superintendent of con
struction for the air mail service at
Washington.
.The introduction of these tran
scripts was one of the "trump cards"
in the hands of I those defending the
conduct of the air mail service
ag-ainst the pharges of inefficiency
and graft, which brought about the
present inquiry.

George P. Boehm and Heramba Lai
Gupta, convicted in Chicago October,

of the first three, all. of whom were
said to have been German sympathiz
ers, could have been characterised -as
a "military enterprise," , although

to distribute large-sums to revolu
