JUDGE KIKEL'S
QUALIFICATIONS FOR
SUPREME COURT PEACE
Philadelphia Public Ledger Points
Out That He Has Many
Advantages
The Philadelphia Public Ledger, of
to-day, pays a high tribute to Judge.
Kunkel's'fitness for the supreme bench.
In an article on the Supreme Court
judgeship, the Ledger says:
"The candidate of widest acquaint
ance is George Kunkel, President
Judge of Dauphin County. As the
Judge before whom the Capitol graft
cases were heard he attained a repu
tation in every county of the State,
and his friends are pointing to the
fact that, although he was elected
the first time as an organization Re
publican, he presided over these cases
with such impartiality that the press
of the Commonwealth, regardless of
party, complimented him in the high
est manner. The Supreme Court sus
tained him in every particular, al
though nearly a score of the ablest
lawyers in Pennsylvania were light
ing to keep the grafters out of jail,
and in the course of their battle took
exception to more than a hundred rul
ings made by Judge Kunkel. He was
unanimously re-elected to his pres
ent position, being on all the tickets
voted a year ago in Dauphin County.
"This candidate has another ad
vantage. Harrisburg is the State cap
ital and many cases of State-wide in
terest are tried in the Dauphin County
tribunal. This has given the lawyers
an opportunity to know him at close
range. Hs supporters also contend
that he has made many friends
among Representatives and State Sen
ators in the last ten years, and that
they will be an influence for him in
their respective communities."
German Surgeon Favors
Both Radium and the
Knife For Cancer Cure
By Associated Press
Berlin, April 9.—Professor Czerny,
a celebrated Heidelberg surgeon, pub
lishes in the current number of the
Deutsche Revue a summary of the
results observed by him in 4,000 cases
of cancer treated by radium since
11)06.
His conclusion Is that cures have
undoubtedly been effected by means of
radium and mesothorium, although
they have been permanent In only
some of the caseß.
Professor Czerny favors the acqui
sition by the imperial government of
large supplies of radio-active sub
stances for Invalids entitled to the
benefits of the state insurance system.
He thinks it premature to substitute
radium for operations and favors the
removal of cancers by the knife and
then the application of radium for
the prevention of a recurrence of the
growth.

RUMOR SAYS OPIE NEW
YORK GUNMAN WILL
MAKE I CONFESSION
Every Means Known Will Be Used
to Save Men Doomed
to Die Monday
By Associated Press
' New York, April 9. —There were
persistent rumors to-day to the effect
that at least one of the four gunmen
who are to die at Sing Sing Monday
morning for the part they played in
the murder of Herman Rosenthal, the
gambler, would confess. The rumors
could not be traced to their source.
Joseph A. Shay, counsel for Charles
Becker, the former police lieutenant,
convicted of instigating the murder
but saved by higher court ruling, said
he might go to the prison some time
to-day and endeavor to get statements
from the four men to be used by the
defense at the second trial of Becker.
In case the condemned men decline to
make statements to him, he has pre
pared an application to the Supreme
Court for an order requiring the ap
pointment of a commission to take
their depositions. In either event, it
was said, the execution of the sentence
would not be delayed.
-Although Governor Glynn has twice
r' fiisi d to grant a reprieve, the fami
lies of the gunmen and their counsel,
Charles G. F. Wahle, had not given up
ill hope to-day. Every means known
to the law will be employed from now
until Monday, Wahle declared.
Will Send Memorandum
To-day he will send a memorandum
to Governor Glynn on the latter's re
fusal to grant a reprieve. The memo
randum will take the form of an argu

New Planing Mill Goes
Up at 18th and Holly
E. C. Snyder, lumber dealer, has
begun the erection of a new planing
mill at Eighteenth and Holly streets.
The mill will employ about a score of

Indians Do Real Dance
at Moorhead Co. Mill
Hitting the trail to the recreation
room of the Moorhead Knitting Com
pany, Cameron street, a tribe of In
dians who have been performing at
Bowmun's store gave the employes an
insight into Indian customs by per
forming a real Indian dance.
As the workers of the Moorhead
factory clustered around the walls and
entrances of the recreation room the
Ir.dians went through a. whooping, ter
rifying exhibition. Then there was a
lull to the fierce activities of the red
skins and one of their number, an In
dian maiden, known as Starr Eyes of
