This pact recognised the perpetual tights of the Yakima tribe to fish "Where from time immemorial the red Man had taken his saliuon. ?" *!: The Indians had been reluctant, saytog to Qoy. Isaac L Stevens, "but •hen you are dead, who will bear . • Witness to your promises 7" And the ^governor bad replied; u "I pledge the Americans to keep the |lromise8 as long as the mountains Stand, as long as the sun shines and the river runs!" "'Calling upon these mute witnesses fad summoning the spirits of the dead, hief Menlnock of the Yakima* has (list made a speech of protest at the Whites' violation of that treaty, in the Hate senate chamber here, which is the most dramatic In Its annals. Boy When Treaty Was Made. And that speech, which would do Credit to the historic orators of his dice, with its sharp challenge to the «|hlte man's honor, bids fair to correct H wrong the Indians had hitherto " tbrne in silence. ' 4 Menlnock was a boy when the treaty was made. He had stood attentive- ' ' If beside his father on that occasion. Xoday he is 80, and wrinkled. Much ftater has run over Prosser falls since • then, and the salmon have dwindled. Also, the whites have enacted ftsh and game laws which conflict so with .the treaty of 1855 that Menlnock was h recently arrested for taking salmon from the Yakima river. A few days ago Chief Menlnock and other tribal leaders, together with their wives and children, appeared at the imposing state lodge of the white men at the state capitol here to protest. In their feathered and beaded trappings and fearlet blankets they projected a vivid picture of the past into the busy legislative councils as the chief rose to speak In protest. Calls Upon 8plrlts. "My heart Is glad today," said Menlnock with solemn mien and sonorous tongue, "because you have said you would listen to what we have to say. It makes me feel that you want to do right by my people whose privileges have been taken and who are sick and sad for being deprived of the food which has given them health and strength. "I call upon the spirits of the dead and upon those witnesses which Governor Stevens himself Invoked to testify that I speak the truth--for the white-topped mountain still stands and the river still runs over the falls where the salmon In season come to leap." When the old chief sat down among his people the assembled legislators broke into a storm of approving cheers, and the senate committee which has the Indians' case unier advisement immediately went on record as favoring the claims of Menlnock and his folk, as Included In a bill already introduced. "White men," said the chief as he marched away, "are not so much dishonest as they are mipnpfrlmffi wftprt In memory." ' ">V Giant X-Ray Treat Cancer Important Discovery Is Made by frofessor at Harvard Unt- " versity. v HAS ADVAWTAGE OVffl RADIUM Experiments in University Laboratory Make It Possible to Produce Xftays of Mors Penetrating Power Than Ever Before. Cambridge, Masa -- Discoveries made by William Duane, professor of biophysics at Harvard, working in collaboration with research students of physics, have made It possible, according to Harvard physicists, to secure X-rays of more penetrating quality than have ever before been obtained In this country and these new rays are now to be used for the first time in America for the alleviation of cancer. While it Is emphatically stated by Professor Duane that neither X-rays nor radium should be cpnsldered a permanent cure for all kinds of cancer, it has long been known that radium has a marked allevtative effect upon this disease. The Harvard cancer commission la erecting a new building adjoining the Collls P. Huntington hospital In Boston, where an X-ray plant will be installed, as well as the commission's radium plant What Discovery Muni Sisters Reunited After Sixty Years , : Mrs. Jane Pass (right), aged eighty-two, and her sister, Mrs. Missouri Jian Dyke McCrary, aged eighty, who have Just been reunited In Atlanta, Ga., •Iter a separation of 60 years. They formerly lived on a plantation near Borne, Ga. Mrs. McCrsry lives with her son in Atlanta, and Mrs. Pass, who has been living on a farm near Buckhead, Ga. had just learned where her Sister was and went to see her. The significance of the discovery was explained in the following statement at Harvard: "The advantage of X-rays over radium Is that the latter is scarce and Immensely expensive, costing at present more than $100,000 a gram, and can, therefore, only be used in small quantities. If X-rays were used it would be possible to make the rays enormously more powerful than has been possible with the limited amount of radium available. "The trouble with the use of Xrays up to this time has been that they are not as penetrating as the so-called Gamma rays of radium and the problem of the Harvard physicists has been to secure this needed quality. "It was known that to secure penetration It was necessary to secure a high frequency of vibration. The Harvard physicists, after many experiments, found that a physical law known as the 'quantum law' Applied to the X-ray spectrum, and discovered that tl>ey could Increase the frequency rays and thus their penetration, by increasing the voltage of carrent used In the X-ray tube. Qets Enough Voltage. "Professor Duane reports that the tube goes to pieces under a voltage of more than 150,000 volts, but thst a sufficiently high voltage has been obtalned to make the X-rays very nearly as effective for certain medical purposes as the Gamma rays of radium. "Long continued exposure to Xrays Is so dangerous to the operator that the greatest pains have to be taken to protect him from them. In the Jefferson physical laboratory a^t Harvard, where Professor Duanie makes his experiments, the X-ray plant Is kept In a room by Itself and the rays are sent out through s minute slit In the wsll. The brick wall at this point Is reinforced with lead and a lead screen is placed across the door. Many expert men tors In various places have been killed or seriously Injured by constant use of X-rays." Labor of 200,000 Men Support Rat Population Washington.--It keeps 200,000 men working full time to support the nation's rat population. That assertion is made by the i biological survey bureau in figures issued showing that there are as many "common brown rats" as humans In the United States, and each of the 100,- 000,000 or more destroy $2 worth of foodstuffs a year. , They also maintain an efficient transportation system for "black death" and other plague germs, the bureau adds in urging a starve and slny campaign to check "a real hasard against American lives and property." An official count showed 204,434 foreigners resident in Paris at the beginning of this year, including 23,- ttQ Americans. SPRING WEIRD IDEAS 'Inventors'* Relieve Monotony for British Commission. One Would Freeze the Clouds So Guns Could Be Mounted on Them to Repel Air Attacks. Leodop.--The report recently Issued by the royal commission on awards to Inventors calls to mind both tbe new powerful engines of destruction the war brought into being, and also the many weird and impracticable Ideas ndvan^pd by "inventors" who had evolved curious plans for winning the war. A one-time member of the war inventions department of the ministry of munitions told of one man who sent in an invention which be said could freeze clouds so that guns could be mounted on them for tiring at aircraft and bombing enemy lines. He was kindly but firmly led to the door, but before he left managed to explain a scheme he had for suspending heavy guns from captive ballooni. One inventor wished to project beat waves against Airplanes and so destroy them. Part of his plan was to set up electric fields that would paralyze the magnetos of enemy airplanes when they attempted an attack. None of these enthusiasts seemed to realise the limitations of their suggestions. A man planned to attach searchlights to anti-aircraft gtins, and so fire along the beam of light. He neglected the fact that the path of a shell and the path o( a ray of light are somewhat different. Among other weird Inventions was one for throwing live wire cablet against the enemy, using rockets tc get the cables across No Man's Lanu. It was suggested that a tunnel be built all the way Into Germany, and also that trained cormorants be sent to pick the mortar out of the chimneys of.tbe Krupp factories at Essen.
