FEEDING EXPERIMENTS.
Prof. Chittenden Tells the Academy Of
Sciences That Healthy Men Eat Double
What They Ought,

Washington, April M.-The chief pa
per before the National Academy Of
Sciences yesterday was a description
Of series of experiments recently
conducted by the Sheffield scientific
school of Yale to determine If the av-
erage human body Is not eating too
much. Prof. Roswell Chittenden, the
director of the school, who conducted
the experiments and who read yester-
days paper, made the statement that
the average healthy man eats from two
to three times as much as he needs
to keep him in perfect physical and
mental health and vigor. Prof. Chit
tenden said this class Of men were ex-
perimented on, several professors at
the school, including Prof. Chittenden
himself, several students and a squad
of United States soldiers. There was
a gradual reduction of meat and other
proteid foods with little If any starch.
No fixed regimen was required in any
case, the endeavor being to satisfy the
appetite of each subject. In only one
case was meat entirely eliminated from
the diet. At the end of the expert
ments, which lasted for six months to
nearly year and were concluded only
a few days ago, the entire lot of men
who had been Prof. Chittenden's sub
jects were in the best of health. Their
weight in some cases was almost ex-
actly the same as when the expert
ments were begun and in some slightly
lower Their bodily vigor was greater
and their strength was much greater,
partially owing to their physical ex-
ercises during the experiments and
partially owing, Prof. Chittenden be-
lieves, to the less amount Of food
eaten. The daily consumption Of food
at the close of the experiments was
much less than the recognized standard
and from q third to half as much as the
average man eats.

Chicago, April 22.-For crime never
paralleled in Chicago's history for
murderous ferocity and mercilessness
the penalty Of the law will be exacted
Of the car barn bandits on the scaffold
to-day. Neidermeier was still in bed
last night, weak from injuries inflicted
in his attempt at suicide Monday morn
ing, but DR.. Mcnamara. jail physician,
declared that Neidermeier would be
sufficiently strong to walk to the scat
fold. With all hope Of clemency gone
the three murderers last night seemed
resigned to their fate and retired early.
The execution Of Neidermeier was
threatened with legal interference for
a time yesterday when attorneys rep
resenting James Summons and John
Lynch, who are under death sentence
for the murder Of Saloonkeeper Pat
rick Barrett, began proceedings of a
habeas corpus nature. No Judge could
be found, however, who would agree to
grant the requests. Neidermeier some
time ago made statement that he and
two companions had killed Barrett and
that Sammons and Lynch were limo

mons stated last night that they will
try again to-day to have the execution
