STOPS HEARTS BEATING,
INDUCES PERFECT SLEEP

PARIS, March 21.-Prof. Stephan Le-
due the psychologist, is publishing the
results Of extensive experiments showing
that it is an easy matter 10 produce
sleep by electricity. The electric current
used by MIN is so weak that It wouldn't
suffice for an ordinary 16-candle power
electric light.
The professor maintains that the cleo
trio sleep produces a state OF absolute
unconsciOusness, as far as the organs OF
the body are concerned. Up to now he
has experimeLted on animals only.
by weak electric currents that may
be shut off several times in a second,
says the professor, the activity Of the
brain may be paralyzed for minutes. or
for whole hours. When the current is
shut of, the animal experimental on
awakens Immediately. When the cur
rent is increased. the activity of the
heart ceases, but the functions of the
respiratory organs continue. A further
increase, though, stops breathing.
AT that moment the experimental an
final is entirely unsensitive. 1t Is life
less without being dead. However. If
the current is continued two minutes,
death VIII ensue."

ARRESTS WILL NOT BE MADE
Commissioner mcfarland Says Officers Should Stop
Gambing-Morrow and West Say Justice Stafford's
Decision Must Be Obeyed

who maintain that the only interest in
the sport OF kings is 1.-The pleasure IN
watching a splendid contest between
thoroughbreds." may journey 20 Benning
tomorrow in the full knowI edge that no
effort will be made 10 prevent the book
maker from pursuing his peaceful oecu-
patton OF separating some OF our best
citizens from their money
Corporation Counsel r. II. Thomas has
said that, in his opinion. the Commits
sloners have no authority TO order such
arrests; that an order TO that effect will
be null and void, and hat 81 will, in fact.
afford no protection TO any afficer act
ing Hereunder.
Commissioner West and Engineer
Commissioner Morrow agree with the
Corporation Counsel. Commissloner Mac
farland stands pat on his original propO-
sition to arrest all persons gambling at
the Benning race track, including the
managers responsible for the gambling
and the gamblers themselves"
Majority Will Rule.
The majority rule, however, will gov
eTn.
But at the same time there is like
Hhood that the stewards and officials
OF the Jockey club may be called TO ac-
count on the charge Of setting up a
gaming table. So says the Corporation
Counsel, but in the absence Of a warrant
ne does not advise arrest In such cases
Commissioner West has recommended
that this suggestion be made the basis
Of action by Major Sylvester 10 the eX-
rH1sAss "A
by the Police Department. a request
shall be made OF the District Attorney
10 pursue such course as may be proper
under the law.
q am willing 10 give my ap-
prevail to the suggestion that the
Commissioners issue an order 10 the Ma
Jor and superintendent OF Police direct
ing him to perform an act which / am
satisfied IN advance would be an Illegal
exercise of power" Engineer COmmis-
sioner Morrow thus sums up his view
Of the subject. He says, moreover that
he did not know that any motion was
ever made directing the police depart
ment 20 make arrests at Benning and
that, anyway, he cannot agree with It
in view OF the recent decision OF Justice
Stafford IN the Walter case.
Commissioner Macfarland's Views.
Commissioner mcfarland believes IN
going the limit, and does not hesitate
to say So in so many words:
Il believe" says Mr.. Macfarland,
the Commissioners, as the executive
officers Of the District Of Columbia,

the business. and the indictments
against Wade & Hedges were brought
under the gambling law. At present it
IS said that there is not a bucket
shop doing business in Washington.

sioners VIII at least have done their
duty. ana not convinced by the memo
randum OF the Corporation Counsel,
from whom / differ with regret, that
the Commissioners cannot properly
take such action, but believe that since
no court has held the anti-gambling sec
lions Of the code void. new cases can
be presented under better indictments.
and with different evidence which would
be sustained by the courts.
Would Secure Evidence.
In any event, it seems 20 me that the
least the Commissioners can do. IL they
should determine not to adhere to the
order for arrests. IL to have evidence
secured and informatiOns filed against
every person concerned In arranging or
maintaining gambling at the Benning
race track or actually engaged in such
gambling"
'As a matter OF fact" said Commits
sioner West Notwithstanding repeated
interviews which I have seen IN the
newspapers, no motion has even been
made by any Commissioner that arrests
should be made at the Benning race
track by the police. nor was any such
agreement to make arrests ever reached
by the board.
THE record shows that the Commits
sioners did agree that the Police De-
partment should exercise it's utmost en-
beavers within the limits OF its author
ity and means TO put a stop 10 gam
bling at the Benning race track. and
that cases should be made against al
legged gamblers. The exact method Of
HHlLr NHra
tent Of the authority OF the Police De
partment. were Questions which were
referred 10 the Cooperation Counsel. and
his opinion submitted today has natur-
ally received my approval. II 1 could
have my own way. there would be no
race track gambling. for I believe titat
present conditions are detrimental to
the best interest Of the city, and nay
emphatic position In this regard was
known to my colleagues long before the
present situation arose.
VIII Not Order Arrests.
at the same time I am not willing
to commit any act which the legal ad-
wiser OF the Commissioners officially and
formally warns me is without warrant
OF law. nor viii direct any police Off
Ger to commit an action which I am
told IN advance IS an illegal one and
which may result in his physical or ma
tcrial injury.
4 regret exceedingly that there IS a
law on the statute books which the
courts have upheld legaIizing bOOJmRk-
ing at the Benning race track. anC 1
wish that the law might be Instantly
repealed, but 1 also believe ths-t
ought TO respect the law and the deci-
siOns OF the courts. even though such
law and such decision may he contrary
to my personal convictions"
The opinion OF the corporation cOun-
sci was referred to Major Sylvester in
order that the police department may
be guided as to its authority In making
cases against gamblers. That there will
be no arrests OF bookrnakers tomorrow
IS a 10-to-1 proposition.

 There is a railroad station on the place, and it is also reached by about 10 miles of pike out of Little Rock.
