22 GRID STAR SOUGH ON THEFT CHARGE Louis Lee Derry ‘Has Police Record—Flees University of Missouri. ‘By the Assoclated Press. COLUMBIA, Mo., December 13.—Po- lice all over Missouri today sought Louis Lee Derry, former idol of two college ‘campuses, University of Missouri back- fleld_ace, president of the junior class of University of Arkansas—and ex- convict. Derry, who is 25 years old, was ac- cused yesterday of stealing clothing and jewelry from a fraternity house. Friends of the youth promised he would appear yesterday afternoon and Sheriff Clvde Ballen accepted their assurance, Derry had not been found, however, today. The youth played foot ball two years at the University of Arkansas and one year here. His record, revealed after the warrant was issued yesterday, showed he served 18 months in the Kansas Reformatory on a plea of guilty to thefts at a frater- nity house of the University of Kansas. Dr. Albert K. Heckel, dean of men, said he had not been awate-of Derry’s record when he entered school here in 1928 When it was learned, Dean Heckel said, university officials felt he should be al- lowed a chance to continue. Derry was to have completed his course in the School of Education in January. Derry recently was restored to good standing after being placed on proba- tion for possession of liquor, his univer- sity record in the registrar's office shows, Derry reccived his varsity foot ball Jetter at the annual banquet Wednesday night, a few hours after a deputy sheriff had raided his room and seized cloth- ing, jewelry and a traveling bag, which another student identified as his prop- erty, stolen last May. Prosecuting At- torney Franklin E. Reagan, who swore to the warrant yesterday, was present when Derry was awarded his L Derry was seen about Columbia during yesterday. PATROL WAGON PROVIDED FOR OFFENDING BEARS ‘The much-talked-of crime wave seems to have spread even to some of the wild animals of Yosemite National Park, according to word received by the di- rector of the National Park Service. It has been necessary to provide a patrol wagon specially designed for recalci- trant bears. The wagon consists of a piece of corrugated pipe large enough to contain a bear, sealed at one end and equipped with a trap door at the other. It is mounted on pneumatic wheels to meake the riding easy and attached to an automobile truck. When word is received at head- quarters that a bear is disturbing the peace the patrol is sent to the scene of trouble. The pipe bear trap on Wheels is then detached and a piece of meat placed inside. The guilty bear, smell- ing the meat, usually crowds into the pipe in search of it. The trap door slams shut and bruin is a prisoner. . Bears so caught in the inhabited por- tion of Yosemite Valley are sentenced to banishment. They are marked with a daub of paint for identification, are taken to the lower end of the park and released. 1If they “repeat” they are identified by the paint mark. During October 14 bears had rides in the patrol wagon, and only one, a mother bear, THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1929. MOVIES OF SUNSET ON MOON | ARE SHOWN AT MEETING HERE Camera Using 100-Inch Lenses Takes Pictures of Phenomena More Than 250,000 Miles Away. BY THOMAS R. HENRY, Sunset on the moon has been photo- graphed successfully over more than a | quarter of a milliion miles of empty space by astronomers of the Carnegie Institution. The first moving pictures of phenom- cna on the surface of another heavenly body were shown trustees of the insti- tution meeting here today. The film, it is announced, was taken with a moving picture camera using the 100-inch re- flector telescope at the Mount Wilson observatory in California as a lens. The moon's day lasts 656 hours, the time required for this satelite to turn on its axis. Consequently, sunset proceeds very slowly. The reflector telescope lens was focused on the moon’s surface for more than five hours to produce this picture, but to make the movement visu- al it has been reduced so that it is shown in a minute and & half. What the observer secs are the creep- ing shadows of the moon’s great craters growing longer and longer as the sun sinks below the horizon, plunging one- half of the body into a long night in which the temperature sinks very low, probably to the neighborhood of abso- lute zero, since the moon has no atmos- phere to hold the heat. This absence of atmosphere makes the shadows very sharp, so that their progress can easily be followed. Photograph New Discoveries. The film was taken in connection with the work of the moon committee of the Carnegie Institution, engaged in an extensive program of scientific studies relating to the pale orb of night. ‘While the moon is the present limit of the moving picture camera, the 100-inch telescope itself extends man’s vision so far into space that it now is possible to study objects approximately 3,000,000~ 000,000 miles away, the trustees were informed by Mount Wilson Observatory astronomers, They were shown recent photographs of one of the remotest ob- jects yet found in the heavens, a cluster of spiral nebulae or island universes in the constellation Coma Bernices taken through the telescope. Each of these nebulae may be a group of millions of stars comparable in magnitude to the whole Milky Way galaxy of which the earth is an insignificant part. Another “miracle” of photography demonstrated to the trustees by Mount Wilson Observatory astronomers was & picture of a laboratory table and appa- ratus made in total darkness, using only the invisible infra-red radiation. A plate, made especially sensitive to infra-red radiation by treatment with a dye emulsion known as neo-cyanine, was exposed in the dark room for seven hours while infra-red rays were focused on the objects. ‘While the use of invisible waves from the other end of the spectrum long has been used in photography, it was ex- plained that this is the first time infra- red radiation has been used successfully and it is expected to have important applications in astronomy and physics. It has commercial importance in mo- tion picture photography since plates made in day time with the infra-red appear as night scenes. Important studies reported by Car- negie investigators in other flelds of a fourth larger than any of their living relativas. They were undoubtedly the most formidable beasts of their time and they preyed upon the great hoofed mammals of the Pleistocene age. Even in its heyday the great lion was a comparatively rare beast. It was outnumbered by its smaller, the sabre- toothed cat, almost 30 to 1. This crea- ture is named from a long, swordlike tooth which projected from its upper jaw. Both creatures lived approxi- mately 100,000 years ago. The strange life of a marine worm which is a parasite on fishes and can live only through the death of its host was reported by scientists of the marine biology laboratory. Eggs are hatched in the open sea and the larvae make their way into the body of a snail where they live for a time, muiltiply and change structure. Then they come out into the open sea again and fasten themselves to the bottom with sucker- like tails. A certain small species of fish has the habit of burrowing in the sand at night to escape its enemies. ‘The developing worm bores its way into the muscles of this fish. But in order to grow to maturity it must get into another fish and for this it depends | on the little fish being eaten by a larger fish. In spite of these enormously com- plicated life requirements, this particu- lar worm is abundant in Florida waters. Workers in the department of ter- restial magnetism reported the con- struction during the year of a vacuum tube which has withstood 1,600,000 volts, producing a radiation far more penetrating than that of X-rays ‘What are believed to be ti oldest of living cells were shown, the trustees of the division of plant biology. These are breathing cells, or stomata, obtained from the bases of century-old cacti in the Arizona desert. These breathing pores open only at night when the dan- ger of water loss from the desert at- mosphere is least. Following today’s meeting of the trustees the exhibits illustrating these discoveries will be open to the public tomorrow, Sunday and Monday. USE LIQUOR STILLS.
