Crystalline Sample of Uraninite From

Middletown. April L What Is be

men of uraninite, or pitchblend. from
which radium is obtained, in existence,
was found last week in F. E. Str ck
land's quarry, Portland, and now lies
with the uraninite collection in the
Wesleyan University museum. The
university paid an astoni hi 'gly hig':i
price for the specimen, in order to keep
it from being sold to the Sm th-oniai
institution at Wash'ngton and other
museums which bd for the minerals
mined at the quarry.
The specimen Is a little less than an
inch In diameter and is of aimo t per
fect octohedronal shape. Uraninite
contains argon, helium, rad'um and
polonium and has been discovered on'y
in the Portland quarries in cry ta iin
form. In Germany and other European
countries it is mined in commercial
quantities, but only in massive no i
crystalline shapes. In the Portland
quarry it is not mined commcrcialy,
' but the workers occasionally c 'me

found in a dump heap by a Sm'tho i

small but more perfect. Taken a'l in
all. however. Professor Rice aid the
curator of the museum, S. Ward Lep

Wesleyan geological offlcia's, have

ADVERSE DECISION
TO INSURANCE MEN
Law Limiting Amount of Bus'ness to
$150,010,000 I eld Constitutional
(Special from TTnited Press
New Tork, April L The attempt of
the big life Insurance compan es to
have nullified by the courts that sec
tion of the New Tork Insurance Laws
which limits the amount of business
they may do annually has failed. In
the Supreme Court to-iay Just'ce
O'Gorman handed down a dec'sion de
claring that this section of fha state
law is constitutional.
Following the investigation of the In
surance companies by the Armstrong
Committee the legislature enacted
stricter supervision statutes wh ch
were hard fought by the cmpan'es.
The section they objected to mo?t was
that iwhich limited the amount of new
business which could be done in one
year to $150,000,000.
Last December the big companies do
ing business in this state found that
they had reached the po'nt named by
the law late in November and for th i
remainder of the year they were com
pelled to refuse policies, accent'ng only
such as could be taken as other poli
cies expired. It was decid-d to test
the law and the case was subm'tt"d to
Justice O'Gorman. It was argued by
the companies that such a restriction
was unconstitutional: that It hampered
the operations of the compan'es.
To-day's decision is a heavy defeat
to the companies and it is expected the
case will be carried to the higher
courts.
FODB DEAD AFTER MINE EXPLOSION
BODIES (RECOVERED FROM THE
ECHO MINE IN WEST
VIRGINIA.
(Special from United Press.)
Charleston. W. Va April 1. Four
bodies have today been recovered from
the Elcho mine of the Buery Brothers
Coal & Cake Company -at Buery, Fay
ette county, and it is believed that no
more were killed in last night's explo
sion. The dead are: Sam and Andy
Melhorn. Charles Jones and John
Broomfield, John D. Lynch and his
son were seriously injured. Only about
a score of men were in the mine at
the time of the explosion and it is
thought all have heen accounted for.
Workers are still searching the de
bris of the entry affected by the ex
plosion of gas. Cause of the explosion
is unknown, but it Is generally believ
ed that it was occasioned by a leakage
of eras from an abandoned part of the
mine.

Father M'Mahnn Bankrupt After flixup
With Keiren.
Cleveland.Aprll 1. The Rev. William
McMahon, pastor of St. Bridget's
Church and editor of the Catholic Uni
verse, late yesterday filed a petition
in voluntary bankruptcy. ' The liabil
ities are put at $1,504,141.64 and the as
sets at $75,207.08
The bankruptcy was brought aboui
by Father McMahon Indorsing notes
for P. J. Keiren of the defunct Fidel
ity Funding Company of New Tork to
a total of close to $1,500 000. The exact
amount of the notes he has indorsed is
not known. Father McMahon was in
New Tork yesterday.
Four suits against Father McMahon.
in one of which default Judgment for
more than $30 000 has been taken, re
sulted in tying up his Interests in va
rious enterprises. The notes Father
McMahon indorsed are mentioned in
the petition but the dates of many are
not shown. These notes are held by
New York, Pittsburg and Cleveland
banlia.
The transactions by which Father
McMahon became involved go back
several years. Keira,n came to htm In
lfC5, saying that St. Bridget's was'-pay-ing
too much for the money It had
borrowed and proposing a scheme by
which to loan money to the church at
3 per cent. Ten members of the
church insured their lives, the church
paying the premiums and Keiran tak
ing the policies as security. Notes to
the Reliable Life Insurance Agency, at
4 1-2 per cent, were given to Keiran.
In the name of the Reliable Life In
surance Agency Keiran contracted to
refund 1 1-2 per cent, on the Interest.
It is now declared that the agency
was not responsible. The notes, which
did not mention the contract to refund,
then were made security by Keiran
for loans from banks.

Rich Red Wood
Means Rosy Cheeks. CI ear Complexion,
Bright Eyes and Plenty of Energy
What does rich, red blood mean? It
means brains, vitality, ambition, hope
fulness, persistency, and everything
worth living for.
But you can't have rich, red blood,
if your digestion is imperfect; and
your digestion is certainly imperfect if
you have sour stomach, bad taste in
mouth, lump of lead after eating,
belching of gas and nervous unrest.
So far reaching is the effect of indi
gestion, that many times the eyesight
is affected.
If you have indigestion or any
symptoms of stomach distress or ag
ony, any druggist will sell you a
mighty remedy for 50 cents, which Is
guaranteed to cure or money back.
The remedy is called Mi-o-na. Its
powerful, reconstructive action on the
s'omach is little short of marvelous. It
tones up, strengthens and puts new
life and energy into the worn out
stomach in a few days. It cures by
removing the cause. If you are a suf
ferer, try a large 50 cent box. It's a
small price to pay for banishing indi
gestion. Mi-o-na is sold by druggists In ev
ery town In America, and is guaran
teed to cure sea and car sickness,
vomiting of pregnancy, and all dis
eases of the stomach Booth's Mi-o-na,

z:pp.liiYS airship
in gfeat peeii
Berlin, April 1. The gravest fears
are entertained to-day for the safety of
Count Zeppelin and fourteen others
who are his guests aboard his new
airship in which the party attempted
to make a flight from Friedrichshaven
to Munich. Owing to a fierce gale
that sprang up shortly after the flight
was begun the idea of landing at Mu
nich was abandoned, the wind driving
the air ship out of the contemplated
course. The ship has now been up
ten hours. It was last seen drift
ing before the wind In an apparently
unmanageable condition.
Zeppelin's latest airship was but re
cently completed at a cost of more
than $100,000. Only this week he at
tained a height of more than six thou
sand feet, breaking the record for
craft of this sort.
The ship reaiohed the environs of
Munich but owing to the strong wind
the Count did not attempt a descent.
He then started to return to Fried
richshaven. Ill miles distant hut could
make no headiwny against the wind.
Horing to get aibove the squall the
airship was pointed upward but no re
lief was obtained in the upper strata.
While manoeuverine- the ship was be
ing sweprt northward.
The authorities' at Munich saw the
peril of the Count and soldiers are
covering the course as best they can,
in automobiles. Major Sperlinig, sev
eral of his engineer corps and a crew
of soldiers from the balloon battalion
of the army a-e with Count Zenpelin.
Zeppelin had intended making a
landing here in the presence of the
Prince Regent and the Munich garri
son.
ELOPEMENT ENDS IN
THE DIVORCE COURT
But the Divorced Wife Does net Desire
Alimony from Form r Husband.
(Special from United Press.)
San Francisco, April 1. Helen W.
Graydork, daughter of J. Palmer Whit
ney and wealthy in her own right, does
not think her former husband, H.
Graydon. Harvard football player ami
later cobbler in "Cincinnati, then man
ager tor a shoe concern, ought to have
to pay her aJimony. Her divorce on
the ground of incompatibility was
signed late yesterday. Today her at
torneys were to have taken up the
question of alimony and consulted
her.
"Oh, dear me, no indeed, I do not
care about any alimony at all. I just
want my divorce. I don't think ho
could support me as I want to be sup
ported, anyway." There the matter
was permitted to rest.
The wedding of Graydon and Miss
Whitney was one of the big sensations
in New Tork society a few years ago.
The young woman was a student at a
fashionable establishment of Miss Ely
on Riverside Drive end she met the
Harvard student through a fellow stu
dent who came from New England.
They met secretly a number of times
and finally one dark night she climb
ed down a rope made of the sheets of
her bed, met young Graydon and they
hied themselves to the nearest preach
er who married them.
But like many such marriages the
parents opposed it and the couple fail
ed to be haippy. The romance was
endied by the court decree.
