KINDRED CASE GIVES
new IDEA TO POLICE
Telephone System Tnaucmratcd
for the Apprehension Of
FugitivpS.

No trace Of Edward g. Kindred. for

money. has been found by tho police
or the private detective agency which
has been searching for him. nor has any
now light has been east upon his past life
of the case.
However, the police work which fol-
lowed the report Of Kindrcd's disappear-
ance has resulted IN "A permanent change
in police methods. Fifty minutes after
the young man's disappearance had been
reported to the detective bureau a full
description Of him was in the hands of
the police of forty-eiGht nearby cities
and towns, which was quicker and more
thorough work than the police had ever
done before.
As a result Of this Commissioner
Woods worked out "A system for notify.
ing other towns Of criminal develop.
ments which has now been put into
operation.
Heretofore in looking for furitiyes
or stolen wagons and automobiles 1t has
been customary to have circulars
printed and sent out to the police OF
towns in Long Island. New Jersey and
Westminster. This. Of course. took a
day or two, and seldom led to the ap.
prehenSion of any one.
Under the new system two police tcle-
phone operators will be kept on duty

At the branches iu The Bronx and Bruok-

: when AN automobile Is stolen. a COM

For this purpose the district around

SCIENTISTS ANNOUNCE
DIABETES DISCOVERY
Pancrcas Found to Re a Factor
in Removing Cause Of
the Disease.

After several years Of investigation
of the Rockefeller Institute have an
nounced through the National Academy
of Sciences an important contribution
tn the knowledge of diabetes. This has
below the spleen, as a factor In removing
excess sugar--the cause OF diabetes
from the blood.
Whether the discovery would be OF
practical value Dr. Meltzer said yester-
day that he was in no position to state.
At present it's established value is pure
ly scientific, The possibility Of practical
application which makes IL of general
interest is the use Of pancreatic juices
in the treatment of the disease.
In brief. as outlined in the proceedings
Of the National Academy. it is this:
The blood carries normally a certain
mount OF glucose. or fruit sugar. which
is drawn from the liver and is necessary
as fuel for the tissues of the body. An
excess discharged through the kidneys
leads to diabetes.
After a direct injection of glucose into
, the veins OF a normal animal 1t was
found that tho excess was carried of
without difficulty within an hour and a
half. In the case of an animal me
pancreas Of which had been removed
this was not true. When an emulsion
made OF pancreatic Juices was introduced
with the glucose in the latter animal
however. the excess was carried off much
as IN the normal.
In other words. the pancreas affects
very appreciably the facility with which
surplus glucose is removed from the
blood.
