MAN CLAIMS TO HAVE
DISCOVERED CAUSE OF
LAW OF GRAVITATION
Capt. ' Lee, Government As
tronomer at Mare Island,
Claims New Discovery.
IMPROVES ON NEWTON
Definite Connection Between
. Magnetism and Gravity
'y Is Discovered.
SAX FANUSOO, , Nov. 27. Claim
to discovery of the cause of gravitation
-something that toir' Isaac Newtou, dii
eoverer of tlie law of gravitation couM
uot find was mado by an Americau
naval officer, Captain T. J. J. bee, gov
ernment astrologer at the Mare Island
navy yard, near here, iu a lecture be
fore the California' Academy of (sciences
here yesterday. , .
Discovery by Captain. Bee, ofthe causo
of magnetism, which also wa claimed
by the lecturer,( led 'to the llaSing ot
a definite connection between' magnetism
and gravity, ho said, both duo to in
visible ether waves travelling across tho
heavenly space with the speed of light.
Captain See has been doing research
work iu magnetism nml gravity forty
years. ': ' ' '
.The astronomer said his theory is
a distinct development on Newton's law
of gravitation. Muguctiitin, ho explained
i a million times more pow erf u!f than
'the corresponding force, of gravition.
Captain See demonstrated during hi
address 'that a 'small magnet when sm
spcndedrby a threa near a larger one
is pulle bodily toward the nearest pole
of tho larger magnet. Yet 'he showed
that while the nearer pole has the great
er power, the remoter pole of the larger
magnets actually pull back on the op
posite end ofa magnetic needle sus
pended by a 'thread around its center.
The result is to m.XJI the liue of 1'orco
' til si on lines, n1n lelicij like taut rope.

She ; planned to set about today leant
ing whether she was entitled to legally
accept Mr. Tiernan in their Crown
Point, Indiana, ceremony Saturday.
- Mrs. Brimmer was left by -Professor
Tiertian with the injuncton to "Go and
redeem yourself n my eyes," replyng
to a teaful "Oh. I will, dear Johu."
Thw expressions came after Profes
sor Tiernan and Mrs. Brimmer were j
informed their marriage hud been ren- j
dered illegal by annulment of Professor j
Tiornan's divorce from Mr. Augusta j
Tiernan at South Bend, Irid., nm her;
own. prior marital statu possibly was j
beclouded . ... j
When - alio was 16 years old, eivht 1

home of her parent, the Rev. and Mrs.
Charles . II. ' Hawn, thon of Aredalc,
Iowa, and now of Hansell, Iowa, she
said." Four days after receiving a
notice tliat Rash had sued for ; divorce,
f he said, sho married Arthur II. Brim
mer, at" O.skaloona, Iowa, only to learn
still later . that Rash had not obtained
a final decree when sho married Brim
mer. " .''''
Nothing was done about the matter,
sho said, but she and Brimmer came
to Chicago, where she became a check
girt in a Chinese restaurant. While
hero she learned Brimmer then was be
ing sued for divorce by an earlier wife,
whereupon sho returned home, but re
joined Brimmer biter at Kansas City,

Replying to n question regardiuj;
still another romance, Mrs. Brimmer
said she- had " not married tho man
named, but that she met him in Mason

and from there to hi homo in TJnion
towu. Pa., where hi mother told her
ho was married and the father of a
child. The man's mother paid her

Shortly .thereafter ,,ho became inter

Mrs. Brimmer's letter, a published J

long distance telephone conversation
from Washington that tho peoplo hal
I spoken twice to the majority parties niij
if they had to speak agaiu it would be
to welcome a third party, George W. I.
Hunt, Governor-elect of Arizona ( said
here last night. ; lie may send a repre

Folletto at I Washington for December
"nd, , but will, not atteud himself, Mr.
Hunt said. .
. Senator LaFollctttS said he would jusi
as soon see both old parties scroppvd,
according to Mr. Hunt, pointing out
that radical or progressive candidates
in eight states had been victorious in tho
recent elections through close, combina
tions of organized farmers and union
workers, and that an analysis of the re
turns would show Mr. Hunt's election
by such a combination. Mr. Hunt said
this was the reason for inviting him to
tho conference. ,
'The Iron is hot, it is time to strike"
was oue of Mr. LaFollettc's expressions,
Mr. Hunt declared. "The psychology
of the dissatisfied masses, dissatisfied
because they aro not getting living wa

Mr. Hunt will confer with democratic

"I fell confluent that Senator Lo

Mr. Hunt said .Senator LnFollettc out
