MAN ACTS LIKE DOLL;
~: PUZZLES POLICEMEN

a badly puzzled lot Of police
men, at the Sheffield station
worked ! with a well-appearing
man of about 40 years of1age for
three hours today, trying to make
him act natural. He was arrest
ed by a policeman at the Diver
sey- park bathing beach simply
because he wouldn't move,
wouldn't talk, and wouldn't
change his fixed stare Theyslift-
ed him into the patrol wagon.
At the police station Captain
Bonner and his aides found that,
like a doll, the man would re-
main in any position they placed
him. When they sat him down,
his legs stuck out horizontally
from the chair. His eyes had a
fixed stare. He didn't mind all
the pinching and slapping and
pin-sticking that was suggested.
Finally, the police gave him up in
despair as an enigma, shut him in
a cell and sent for the nearest
physicians. It was some time. be

curious bluecoats looked into the
mans cell to find that he hadn't
changed his position. Just before
the doctor arrived, the enigma re-
covered sufficiently to move his
muscles and regained his voice to
tell Capt. Bonner he was James
Ryan, of Chicago. His case was
diagnosed as aphasia an affecta-
ton of certain motor centers and
the sensory nerves. Ryan was
able to go home.

clare vacancy being held within
thirty days on the petition Of one
fourth the registered voters. If
