Washington physicians are wondering
If Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, inventor
of the telephone and former president of
the National Geographic Society, was not
the first person to suggest the imbedding
of radium in bodily tissue as a curative
agent for deep-seated cancers.
They have discovered a copy of
"Science." of July SL 1308. in which Is a
letter written by Dr. Bell to Dr. Z. T.
Sowers, of Washington, dated July a.
1903, which they believe to contain the
first suggestion for the application of
radium In the way that the most recent
experiments In the world's scientific cent
ers have proved most beneficial. The
letter also appeared in the Scientific
American of September U, IMS. The letter
written in Baddeck. Nova Socla. nearly
eleven years ago. follows:
Dear Dr. Sowers: I understand from
you that the Roentgen X-rays and
the rays emitted by radium, have been
found to have a marked curative effect

new lyric was uppermost in her mind.

the thought of the song drove sleep from

On her return to Boston a few days
later she submitted her poem to James T.

"The Crooks tube, from which tho
Roentgen rays are emitted Is. of course,
too bulky to be admitted into tne middle

reason why a liny fragment of radium
sealed up in a fine class tube should not

v-hlle making experiments along this
line"
Dr. Sowers replied as follows:
"Dear Dr. Bell: The suggestion which
you make in regard to the application of

prove this to be tho case nothing would
please him more.
While medical men here have not made
an exhaustive search to find if Dr. Bell
waa the originator of the "Imbedding in
tissue" Idea, they believe .that actual
work along this line did not occur until
three or four years later. They cite an
article, written by Dr. William II. DIef
fenbach. of New York, in the Medical
Record of December 1 1913, in which
the early steps In the employment of
radium as a curative agent are described.
Dr. DIeffenbach tells of securing a tube
of radium bromido of 1.500,000 activity in
1902 and of additions being made to this
amount later. In 1906, he says, solutions
f 2,000 activity of radium were dissolved
In gelatine, the object being to use an
animal product as a vehicle for dissem
inating radium within tissues by means
ot Injections. The physician, one of the
pioneers In this line, falls to state exactly
when the actual Imbedding of the radium
Itself first took place.
vvwie they have not been able to find
exact data on the subject physicians In
the office of the Surgeon General of tho
War Department are of the opinion that
Dr. Bell's suggestion was the first of Its
kind to be made.

Mrs. Estelle W. Ions Says They Have

"Women of the South have been mis
represented in regard to equal suffrage."
This statement was made yesterday
afternoon by Mrs. Estelle Wllloughby
Ions, of IS!: Calvert street northwest
a leader of the Southern Suffrage
League.
"We hope soon to have a large mem
bership." she said, "and are especially
J eager to have every Southern woman
In Washington who Is Interested In
equal suffrage Join our club. There
hag been an erroneous notion abroad
that Southern women are not pro
gressive. This charge Is nothing less
than an Indictment of Southern wom
en's Intelligence, which we resent.
"The president of the Alabama asso
ciation. Mrs. Patty Ruffner Jacobs,
told the truth as a delegate to the
suffrage convention here last fall when
she said that all Southern States are
realizing that the vote Is the only
honorable way of obtaining recogni
tion for women."
After a short stay In Washington,
Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, of New York,
left for New York yesterday afternoon
to attend to suffrage matters there.
"The Congressional Union Is the
strongest and most active suffrage or
ganization." she said. "I have been
watching Its work, and the more I see
of Its methods the more I like them. I
have decided to work with them In future."
Mrs. Belmont recently sent her
check for 15.000 to the union and ac
cepted a place on Its executive committee.
Mrs. Belmont came here to establish
her own headquarters for suffrage
work and will In future divide her time
between Washington and New York.

Ti t. statement of Mrs. Dodge was as

tho National Association Opposed to

port that this organization is now work

They base their accusation on the fact
that Miss Clara K. Markeson, while In

"Miss Markeson was tent to Montana.
