.|NFANTLE PARALYSIS
REMEDY IS REPORTED
Rockefeller Institute Scientists Give
Account of Their Experiments
Made on Monkeys.

BY the Associated Press,
NEW YORK. March 31-Results Of
undertaken by the Rock

outbreak of i~nfantile paralysis. and
carried on since through a series of
experiments on hundreds of monkeys.
are set forth in the April number of
the Journa of Experimental Medicine.
the institute publication, proofs of
which were mad public today.
The conclusions are stated in papers
by DIR. Simon F1eXner, DR.. Harold l.
Amoss. DIR. Edward Taylor of the Yer
mont state board of health, DR.. Carroll
G. Bull and DR.. Allan N. Chesney.
The definite announcement is made
tina immune si~rup-derived from the
blood of those who have recovered
from the diseases of definite curative
value The report contains an analysis
Of tw~enty-six cases in which records
were AIKEN. In fourteen cases the
serum was administered before
paralysis had developed. Signs of
paralysis followed in only four OF
these. Of the entire twenty-six. a
large proportion showed Improvement
after the treatment.
The report concludes that the serum
is Of the greatest value when given
both by intraspinal and intravenous IN
jsctions, and when used In fairly large
quantities. 1t was found to have pre-
vented paralysis from appearing. and
when the disease had appeared. from
extending more widely. The general
results obtained in human beings with
the serum treatment corresponds with
those originally obtained expert
mentally in animals, except that they
appear to be even more favorable in
mar than in the monkey.

New Spring Coat Models

The new Coat models have rare
combination of style in designing that
will surely please those who are looking
for the newest Coat designs.
Notice how the generosity of material
in this Coat is used to give those long,
straight lines so much desired Notice
also how cleverly the new belt effect is
executed, so that the buttons give
effect to the belt and
pockets.
There is an engaging girlishness
about the way the collar tucks in on the
side. Something pleasing also to the
novel belt that encloses those sweeping
line panels.
Altogether some of the best ideas in
design and style that have been shown
for many seasons.

PLOT CENTRE IN CHICAGO
Federal Agents Are Making Deeper
InyeatiGatiOn.

WAsIINGToS. sept. Numerous in
dictments for conspiracy TO thwart the
Governments war plans and tie its
hands In many ways appear 10 he in
prospect as IA result Of Wednesdays
nationwide raid of Industrial Workers OF
the World offices by Department of Jus
tice agents.
Evidence Is said to be fast accumu-
latng TO support the belief that
gigantic conspiracy has existed for some
time past to cripple the Government IN
carrying on the war; that its ram'nCa-
tions have extended into virtually every
State and that numerous anti-wsr act,v-
tiles, which appeared to emanate from
many sources, in reality had their fouu-
tain head in single group OF cousp!ra-
tors These leaders directed activities
through a large number OF leuteuants
Anti-conscription demonstrations Grip
pling of war industries by labor dis
turbances and by violence, burning OF
crops and spruce forests and continuous
preachment OF ant-ally sentiment with
other activities that tended to embaT-
rass the Government and retard the e%-
ercise of its full strength in prosecuting
the war, appear from recent disclosures
to have been included within the Scop.
of the alleged conspiracy,
Into the formation and the workings
of this alleged conspiracy. the Depart
ment of Justice has begun an inquiry
more comprehensive, II s said, than any
launched since this country's entry into
the war.
How closely the anti-war activities
and propaganda have been interrelatcd

WILSON PLACES
GOLD EMBARGO
None to Be Exported After
Monday Without Federal
Reserve License.
!NnecinI D,spnfch 10 Tnn sly.

WASHINGTON, Sept President
Wilson. by proclamation issued to-
day added coin. bullion and currency to
the export embargo list. which already
included practically every article of COM
merce that foreign countries might de-
sire. The embargo is not absolute, but
may be relieved by the issuance Of
licenses. 1t applies to the Allies as we'll
as to neu,rals and enemy countries, and
becomes operative next Monday.
Licenses, instead of issuing from the
exports administrative board, will be
granted by the Federal Reserve Board
in Washington on recommendation OF
the Federal Reserve bank in the district
from which 1t is desired to export the
coin, bullion or currency. all licenses to
be subject to the final approval OF the
Secretary Of the Treasury.
The embargo will place absolute con-
troll over gold exports in the hands Of
Secretary McIAdoo and the Federal Re-
serve Board officials believe that the
measure will go far toward conserving
the huge store OF gold accumulated in
this country since the beginning Of the
war, store which recently has been
drawn upon heavily by Japan, Mexico
and Spain.
Another effect OF the embargo VIII be
to stop the leakage Of gold exports TO
Germany. Gold has been finding its way
into Germany. II Is asserted, through
Switzerland. Holland. Russia and the
Scandinavian countries. Relief from the
silver shortage in this country also Ii
expected to result from the embargo.
Because brokers for some time have been
refusing 20 export silver the report be-
came general that a secret embargo al
ready was in effect. This received denial
from official sources
Since the United states began to
finance the Allies gold has started to
fiow from the United States. Within the
five week period ended August II ex-
ports. totalling s73000.o 900. were moro
than four times as great as imports. The
stock in this country is s3.ooo,ooo, 900.
Of which approximately 40 per cent. has
been imported since January. 1915.
Imports Of gold during the current
year have totalled more than s53s,ooo.-
900. Exports recently were estimated TO
have approximated s3oo. 100000. or more
than twice as much as the volume ex-
ported altogether in 1915.
