Impressive Ceremonies Precede
Event—Box of Memoirs
Goes in Structure.
Impressive ceremonies marked the
laying: of the corner stone of the
new Y. AT. C. A. Building Thursday
morning. It was the intention of
the committee to have the exercises
in the open before the structure, but
the cold weather caused the lecture
room of the Baptist Tabernacle to be
used for speaking purposes.
J. K. Orr called the gathering of
several hundred prominent citizens
to order and the Rev. W. R. Hen
drix, pastor of the Wesley Memorial
< hurch. offered the opening prayer.
He was followed by Dr. C. W. Dan
iel. of the First Baptist Church, who
delivered an inspiring lecture on
“The Y. M, C. A. and the City.”
Bishop C. K. Nelson, of the Episcopal
(’hurch, then talked interestedly on
“The Y. M. C. A. and the Church."
After the brief speeches the meet
ing adjourned across the street to
the building and the actual laying of
the corner stone took place by the
building committee, composed of the
following: H. Y. McCord, chairman;
Marion Jackson, Frank Inman, B. L.
Willingham, J. K. Orr. E. C. Calla
way and David Woodward.
A solemn silence prevailed as the
corner stone of the great Y. M. C. A.
was placed in the ground and in the
hollow interior an iron box contain
ing memoirs of the event. The bene
diction was offered by the Rev. Rich
ard Orme Flinn, pastor of the North
Avenue Presbyterian Church.

have it in such small quantities now
that it is impossible to know what it
will do for the last stages of deep-
rooted internal cancer. S'ery serious
cases have been treated successfully,
however.
“I have every confidence in Dr.
Kelly and in everything that he says.
He is inclined, if anything, to be
rather on the. side of conservatism
in his utterances.
“I think he expects even more from
tnis wonderful radium than he has
expressed. What little he has told
of Ills accomplishments has startled
the world.
Many Are Disappointed.
"He has had only about 800 milli
grams—less than a gram—of radiufti
with which to work. And this prob
ably is the largest amount that any
surgeon in the world has had.
“The only other physician in Amer
ica who has had any considerable
quantity is Dr. Abbe, of New York,
*vho has had about 230 milligrams.
“The publicity that the miraculous
cures have received lias been unfor
tunate in a way, for ten or twen
ty persons have come to Dr. Kelly
for every one that he was able to
treat. This condition probably will
be relieved when we are able to pro
cure radium in larger quantities.
“The ores from which the valuable
metal is obtained is found mostly in
Montrose County, Colorado. an-1
northwest from there in Utah. We
can not at present estimate that
there are more than 200 grams in
the whole field.
Would Check Radium Trust.
“Up to this time we have deprived
ourselves of the benefits of the ra
dium by permitting its exportation
to foreign countries. The only wav
I know to prevent this and to che k
the formation of a radium trust’ for
private gain is for the Government
to withdraw the lands from public
entry.”
Secretary Dane, of the Interior De
partment, already has approved a
proposed measure for the withdrawal
of the radium deposits. Representa
tive Foster, of Illinois, chairman of
the House Committee on Mines, said
lie intended to .introduce a hill ns
soon as Congress convened af er Fhe
recess.
Dr. Parsons’ home Is In Fawkins-
ville. Ga., and he has been taking a

He will return to Washington from

U. S. Chemist Warns
Of Fake Cancer Cures.
Beware the fake “radium cancer
cure," is^tbe word of emphatic warn
ing delivered to the American people
Thursday by Dr. Carl D. Alsberg, who
succeeded Dr, Harvey W. Wiley re
cently as chief chemist in the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Dr. Alsberg came to Atlanta to at-
The Pinkertons Thursday reported
the arrest of Marvin J. Ray at Al
bany on a charge of taking the ef
fects and forging the name of a bene
factor. H. E. Butler, a soda fountain
clerk at Jacobs’ Pharmacy.
According to Butler’s story, he
formed a friendship for Ray, who had
just come to Atlanta from Macon, and
took him to the home of his mother,
on West Baker street. Suddenly Ray

Since he left Atlanta Ray had mar

Macon Realty Owners
Protest Tax System
MACON. Jan. 1—Macon's first cltv
tax assessor has inaugurated a pl.m
for ascertaining the taxable value of
property which has elicited a protest
from the larger real estate owners.
Their plea will be heard by the Coun
cil next Tuesday.
The tax assessor notified property
owners that he will consider the rent-
i al as representing one-tenth of tne
value of the property. Real estate
men declare this is unjust, became
many pieces of property bring less
than 10 per cent in rents.
tend the sessions of the American As
sociation for the Advancement of
Science and to preside at Thursday s
meeting of the chemistry section in
the Winecoff Hotel.
Out. of ‘the great sensation made
by the marvelous cures effected by
the application of the radium Gamma
rays there has sprung up an army of
impostors and quacks who are foist
ing “cancer cures” on the public un
der the representation that they con
tains radium.
The distinguished chemist said that
the activities of his department were
being bent toward the apprehension
and prosecution of these unscrupu
lous persons.
“Wiiile the routine of our work
varies not a great deal through tlie
>ear,” he said, “it sometimes hap
pens that a certain form of violation
of the pure food and drug laws will
spring up almost by magic, and it
will be necessary for us to direct our
energies toward the determination of
this particular practice or offense.
“Medicine is being sent out right
now that is advertised to contain
radium, the curative properties of
whose rays have caused a sensation
through the medical and Surgical
world.
“Since there are less than two
grams of radium in the United States
and it is valued at U24.000 a gram
these claims are hardly plausible. We
are running down these fakers as
rapidly as possible."
An idea of the countless number
of persons who may be gulled by the
impostors and of the vast harm that
may result is given by the estimate
by authorities that one out of every
ten persons in the United States over
30 years of age suffers with cancer.

Striking and Calling
Of Names Not Ground
For Divorce, He Says
WASHINGTON, Dec. 31 —That the
calling of opprobrious names or even
the striking of a blow' is not sufficient
warrant for divorce In the average
American family' was advanced by
T)t*. Ernest Brunken. of the Library of
Congress, in a talk on “Political Ten
dencies in Modern Legislation,” be
fore the American Political Scieno?
Association her® to-day.
"The delivery' of such epithets
/night well he cause for severing the
martial tie between highly sensitive
people of the cultured class,” said Dr.
Brunken, “but it must be apparent
that the same offense would not war
rant divorce of the primitive folk of
the great laboring masses. There tlie
calling of names and the blow' would
be deeply resented, but It is not so
uncommon as *to make divorce ad
visable. Judicial decision to the con
trary' in such cases are manifestly
absurd.”
