The fellowships, to be awarded on a program even broader than that ot the Cecil Rhodes scolarshlp, will be a memorial to Mr. Guggenheim's son, who died in 1922 while preparing ror Harvard and later studying abroad. The announced purposes of the foundation are: "To improve the quality of education and the practice of the arts and professions in the United States, to foster research, and to provide for the cause of better international understanding." The Guggenheim scholarships will be open to men and women, married or single, of every race, color and creed. Any subject may be studied In any country in the world. There are no age limits, although, since the scholarships are Intended for those who have shown marked ability In their particular subject, it is expected that most appointees will be between 25 and 85 years old. The principal obligation for those receiving fellowships will be that they shall produce contributions to knowledge In their special subjects and that they shall make the results of their studies publicly available. Only candidates of exceptional aptitude for research, or who have undertaken an Important piece of work, or who have demonstrated ability in one of the fine arts will be appointed. The first fellowships will be awarded for the academic year 1926-27- . Each scholar will receive about a year. Larger or small sums, and longer or shorter appointments than one year may be granted In individual cases. After the first year It is expected that forty to fifty scholars will be appointed annually. "We all realize," Mr. Guggenheim said In a statement, "that some of the finest minds, some of the most conservative thinkers in the world, have been seriously hampered in turning their natural gifts to the best advant age by the lack of adequate financial backing. I want to do my part to meet this need. "It has been my observation from the outside," Mr. Guggenheim satd, "that just about the time a young man has finished college and is prepared to do valuable research he is compelled to Bpend his whole time In teaching. "Salaries are small, so he is compelled to do this in order to live, and often he loses the impluse for creative work in his subject which should be preserved In order to make his teaching of the utmost value, and also for the sake of the value of the researches In the carrying on of civilization. $2,-50- 0 Utah Jail la Raided Monticello, Utah.

In exactly two minutes and five seconds he was pronounced dead by County Physician Dr. F. E. Straup. The celestial croupier had collected from him the price society demanded for the slaying of Police Sergeant N. P. Pierce on the night of November 27, 1922. Hett took the ordeal bravely. With appalling calmness he waited while he was being made ready for the death chair. Shortly before beginning the death march he spoke freely. "I have left a note with the warden for you," he satd, a half smile casting away what fear of death lingered on his face. 'I might add that the last few hours have been the happiest of my life. I say this with no spirit of braggado cio. I say It sincerely. I guess that's all.

Arizona is the only state to fail so far to ratify the seven-stat- e compact.

A second would appropriate $100,000 for a thorough A third would adopt investigation. the pact with amendments, a fourth would ratify without change, and a fifth seeks to break up the seven-statalliance and form a three-statcompact between Arizona, California and Nevada. At a recent conference In the office of Governor George H. Dern and attended, among others, by William R. Wallace, chairman of the water storage commission, J. Reuben Clark, member of the commission; Dr. John A. Widtsoe, who was associated with the Utah representation at the Santa Fe conference; President A. B. Irvine, of the state senate; Speaker William E. McKell, of the house of representatives and Delph Carpenter, Colorado's representative at Santa Fe, it was decided to bring out the A simcompact measure. ilar bill is now before a committee of the Colorado state senate.

B. 123, Funk ReguliU'ron guber- London Although it is known through the medical bulletins issued from Buckingham palace that King George's condition is not serious as a result of his attack of bronchitis, the fact that his physicians have ordered him to the Mediterranean for the remainder of the winter has caused quite a stir, of which the newspapers take full advantage for front page displays. His majesty's health is ordinarily as good and his foreign visits so infrequent, that his going abroad is treated as an important event. Unlike his father, King Edward VII, who in the later years of his life usually spent part of the winter in southern Europe, and his grandmother, Queen Victoria, who also often went there. King George has not been south, with the exception of his brief formal trip to Italy In the spring of 1923, since his accession to the throne in 1910, his only foreign visits having been to France during the war, when he so often joined the British army there. Queen Mary will probably not accompany the king on the yacht. She is a bad sailor and dislikes being at sea except in fine weather. It is expected she will cross the channel to Calais and Journey southward by train to join her husband. The king's uncle, the Duke of Connaught, who always spend3 the winter on the Riviera, is staying at his villa near Beaulieu, and it is possible that the queen will make her home there while the king is recuperating. The present plan is that the Prince of Wales will carry out his tour of South Africa and South America as being scheduled, but it is already remarked that it is quite unusual for the king and the heir to the throne both to be absent from the kingdom at the same time. natorial appointments.

Open flame lamps used by miners which are believed to have ignited gas, causing the City Coal company explosion which cost fifty-onlives, are a necessity in Indiana mines, as they destroy gas formations before they become dangerous, mine officials ana woricers declared here. Indiana mines are of a type in which small pockets of gas are continually forming, it was explained. The. open flame lamps touch this gas off. The gases as they are forming are not noticeable. Breathing the gas produces a tired feeling, it was said, but no serious effects result. The miners declare that If they were forced to use nameless lights the gas would accumulate in large quantities before being discovered, then a match or spark from an electric motor would toqeh It off, probably causing a disaster. e Prison Outbreak Threatened San Quentln, Cal.
