V The latest scientific story,
with an Einstein lahel, to make
you read, and perhaps believe,
says ours is "an eneloed imi
verse."
, You may have thought the
universe infinite and unlimited,
by necessity, sinee infinity enn
liave no bounds, and finite
space is inconceivable.
Well, you're wrong.
The preat 100-ineh reflector
(in Mount Wilson has picked
out three nebulae, all moving
away from this earth, and
really moving. One is leaving
us at the rate of 4!l()( miles a
second, a record for nebular
speed, the other two not quite
so fast.
How far away are they, in
this "enclosed universe'.'" "Just
50.fMMi.lHK) light years. Mulli

(uitc seriously you nip tolil
flint "tlisJortinns in litilit

locilies illusory, Hie distortions
arc due to a curvature of
spacu, predicted by Einstein."
Sutdi rillio rish makes t lit? old
vortex and nebular theories,
and even Alice in Wonderland
seem, sane in comparison.
The fact that it is impossible
to concenve infinity is no ex
cuse for childish guessing.
What is outside of Mr. Kin
stein's "enclosed universe?"
two or three more enclosed uni
verses? And what encloses
thciu?

This nation neglects many
things, and some of our young
people lack concentration. Hut
we do not neglect cigarette,
smoking. There is concentra
tion on that.
In May the tobacco industry
turned out more than eleven
billion cigtirettcs, and paid to
the government, in cigarette
taxes, :W,11iV2.
Judge Sabath, in Chicago,
grants "trial divorces" which
arc, at least, an improvement
on trial marriages.
The plan works well. Mrs
Speyer, after six months' scpa
ration, decided that she wanted
a complete divorce, hilt she will
keep house for Mr. Speycr.
Mr. and Mr. Carl Williams,
after six months separation,
came back to he married.

Arrival at Azores Cast in

Race Sunday.
MADRID, June. 21. (?)
Alarmed by the disappearance f
M:i Jui Uumon Franco and three
companions on a flight to New
York hy way f the Azores, the
Spanish authorities today dis
patched destroyers and airplanes
to scour the sea between the Span
ish coast and the Azores.
The Spanish government was
particularly eager to run down a
report from the Hritish merchant
ship irelden statin-; that this ship
saw an airplane wreckage float
ing In the sea about 1"0 miles off
the Azores. There were no per
sons aboard.
The ministry requested all
steamers in the area surrounding
the Azores to keep a sharp look
out in the hope of sighting the
wreckage and determining its Iden
tity definitely.
The plane, a Dornier-Wal hy
droairptane. left Cartagena, Spain,
on Friday afternoon. Several mes
sages front it were picked up, the
last 12 hours lifter-the departure.
On Saturday morning the Portu
guese warship Vasco (hi (iaiuja,
reported picking up. a message
from Captain Franco 'slating that
lie had readied Iho Azores and
would continue lo New York Sun
day. When the fliers could nut
be located anywhere in the Azores
fears for their safety began to
arrive until it was derided to send
destroyers to look for them.
Whether they came down at
some isolated point in the Azores,
losing the use of their radio on
lighting In the water after send
ing a message of their arrival, or
whether they decided to continue
straight on to New York without
stopping, were questions still un
solved today.

DUTY BILL
Coalition Against
Four Schedules of House
Measure Gains Momen
tumWitnesses Appeal
for Greater Increases
Hull Charges 'Sinister
Domination.'
WASHINCTON, Juno M. (P)
With the Democratic-Republican
independent movement In opposi
tion to the house tariff bill appar
ently gaining momentum, four
schedules of that measure which
are destined to be the subject of
more or less intense controversies
in the senate, engaged the atten
tion today of sub-committees of
the finance committee and scores
of witnesses.
Two of these schedules wool
and sundries were open for testi
mony for the first time since tho
committee began its public hear
ings on the bill, while nbout 100
witnesses already had been heard
on the other two agriculture, and
earths, earthenware and glassware.
Most ot the witnesses who have
been heard thus far have appealed
for greater increases than the
house voted In the duties on pro
ducts with which they wcrd con
cerned. Kvidenco of the growing In
tensity of tho Democratic-Republican
independent movement to con
fine revision to agricultural and
related products and to bring
about red net Ions' in some Indus
trial schedules was given in state
ments by Senators Hronkhart, Re
publican, Iowa, and Representa
tive Hull. Democrat, Tennessee.
The former held that' fnrmeiH
should recognize that however
high tariff rates might he made
on a commodity of which there
Is a surplus, they cannot aid its
producers. He nlso said tho pres
ent law gave farm products only
1.1 per cent actual protection and
that the house bill would Increase
this to nly 1.3 iter cent, "compared
with an effective rato on other
industries of 3S.8 per cent."
Hull charged that "sinister and
selfish forces dominated the house
tariff proceeding!, nnd unless the
people bestir themselves they will
likewise dominate the senate.'
"Agriculture," he said, "for tho
ninety-ninth time Is to bo hood
winked and humbugged by pro
lific promises of effective tariffs
that are a fraud and a swindle,
save as to certain minor special
tics." TR

Light Streak Seen for
Ten Minutes Visible
Throughout State About
9 P. M.
An awe-inspiring h e a v e n 1 y
spectacle, which a number of
Mod ford and valley people, us
welt as other southern Oregon
resident a thought was a burn I tig
airplane falling lo earth, but
which later proved to be a falling
meteor descending east of Port
land, was seen at 8:47 o'clock last
evening.
I,. Walter llk, head of the
Mi dfoi d weather bureau, hail a
good view of tho meteor or mi
text rite, and its aftermath of
smoke, as he was standing at the
corner of 8th and Grape HtreolM,
when tho flash first appeared.
The sky demonstration over, Mr.
Dick at once hastened to tho
Western Cnion telegraph office
to verify his watch with tho com
pany time. They agreed.
Mr. lJh-k describe! the meteor
as being apparently a ball of fire
five Inches in diameter. Intensely
brilliant, and of almost a pure
whlto color, which fell rapidly
and apparently straight downward
leaving behind a streak of light
for 10 minutes that la believed to
have been left in tho trail of the
meteor, arising from 1U burning
combustibles, as a meteor Is usu
ally composed of iron, nickel and
other metals.
This stnoko was probably vhj
ible ho long after the flash of
the ifietenr because of the great
height. A calculation of the Hp
proximate height of the meteor,
rn;le by Mr. Hick and on the hh
sumption that the meteor fell rust
or Portland ami the elevation at
which It was observed here, Indi
cates r height exceeding 20 miles
and approaching "100 miles when
first seen. ,
Assuming that thoHO figures are
correct the ainoko was visible, due
to the sunlight at that great ele
vation, Mr. Dli k said. j
The smoke appeared (o be twist-
lug In curves, affected by the
different uir current-.
The Medford people and those j
of Central Point and (irants Pa
all thought that Iho falling mi!
teiir was a descending airplane on
fire. The sperlaelo was reported
at the Medford station this morn
ing by Kort Klamath (thru tho

tions at Wolf Creek and Sexton

Two gangsters, one wanted in 'Chi

ing a midnight gun battle among
themselves in front of a fashion
able hotel here Saturday night.
Five men who hnd been drinking
in a room in the hotel, police said,

erts, was killed instantly, nnd Ar
thur Hartman, about 3R, was fa
tally wounded. Kearns , Pumpsey,
alias Kearns Humphrey, was shot

died yesterday afternoon.
The quarrel began In the hotel
room when Pumpsey took Har
retti'B gun and gave It to Hartman.
Just as the men left the hotel,
Hartman refused Harrettl's demand
for hla revolver.
"Just then Harrottl's hand mad
n dive for hi other gun." J'Utnp
soy said, "and we all drew, know
ing that Harrettl never Joked about
drawing a revolver. Wo all start
ed shooting at once and In tho
huddle I guess we shot each other:"

late "Hip Tim" Murphy of Chicago
