BANKER DIES IN PRISON; TRIED TO SHIELD FATHER Officer of Closed Indiana Institu- tion Took Blame for Un- authorized Loans. By the Associated Press. MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, February 29 —Waiter E. Meyn, 33, former Ham- mond, Ind., bank executive, died in the prison here to which he went in an effort to shield his father from a simi- lar fate. Young Meyn, a victim of pneumonia, was_sentenced February 9 to from 2 to 14 years in Indiana State Prison here on his plea of guilty to making unauthorized loans as vice president of the closed First Trust & Savings Bank of Hammond. His father, Peter Meyn, 65, head of the $8,000,000 insti- tution, pleaded guilty to the same charge, but young Meyn said the blame was all his, He had expected to re- turn to court and plead for leniency when his father was sentenced. During his plea he nearly collapsed in court from weakness from an at- tack of chicken pox. VIGIL OF LITTLE DOG LEADS TO FINDING BODY 75-Year-Old Wyoming Prospector Discovered After His Pet Keeps Watch for Week. By the Assoclated Press. LUSK, Wyo., February 29—The vigil that a little mongrel dog kept for a week beside the body of his master has led to the discovery of the body of Mauritz Aronstein, pioneer Wyoming prospector. The body was found Saturday near | Aronstein’s mine, in Muskrat Canyon. Aronstein, 75 years old, had suffered heart disease. Ranchers who passed on the road near the old prospector's camp since Monday had noticed the little dog standing on a knoll, barking, apparently in an effort to attract attention. ‘When the dog stuck to his post and continued to bark whenever any one passed on the road, neighbars finally investigated. — STRIKE PARLEY FAILS Garment Workers and Contractors Deliberate All Night. NEW YORK, February 29 (#).—An all-night conference between represent- atives of the International Ladies’ Gar- ment Workers and the Association of Dress Manufacturers, the so-called con- tractors’ group, ended early today without agreement. The union already has reached agree- ments with the jobbers and inside groups, the other two factions involved in the strike of approximately 25,000 garment workers. These agreements were to be submitted to the strikers for formal approval today in 16 differ- ent group meetings throughout the ci 50 RADIOS from s1 9 $1 Down $1 Week Open Evenings possible.

Result of Experiments. “These experiments have shown that the radiation ejects particles from hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, carbon, air and argon. The particles ejected from hydrogen behave as re- \ gards range and jonizing power like pro- tons with quite remarkable speed. “The particles ejected from the other elements have a large ionizing power and appear in each case to be recoil atoms of the elements. “These results and others I have ob- tained in the course of the work are very difficult to explain on the assump- tion that the radiation from beryllium is a quantum radiation, if the energy and momentum are to be conserved in the collision. “The difficulties disappear, however, if it is assumed that the radiation con- sists of a certain type of particle or neutrons, to which explanation the evi- R.

Hitherto, all evidence has been in favor of the neutron, while the quantum hypothesis can only be maintained if the conserva- tion of energy and momemtum be re- linquished at some point. “The whole thing is somewhat vague at present, but we are continuing our experiments. Whether one neutron is a proton and electron combined is not easy to decide, but the big question is whether this is a quantum radiation or & particle.” IMPORTANCE MINIMIZED.

Dr. Millikan, presi- dent, and other scientists at the Cali- fornia Institute of Technology, esti- mated it would take many times this number to weigh an ounce, but lacking detailed information, they did not at- tempt an exact figure. Dr. Millikan said it was difficult to differentiate between the effects of the “photon,” as observed by him and his assistant, Dr. Carl Anderson, and the neutron. s When gunpowder came into use there were many who claimed that this frightfulness in war meant that wars would end.
