SAN QUENTIN PRISON, Calf, Oct
1S.-The old man who yesterday in
ian operation was given energy glands
taken from a hanged murderer, sat uP
in bed today and smoked his pipe.
He complained of slight headache
as the only hangover" Otherwise he
was feeling fine" he said.
He must remain in bed, however,
for from ten to twelve days, to allow
the wound to heal. Then he will be
allowed to walk about. He probably
will not be allowed to exercise for
several weeks. 1t became known that
yesterdays operation transDlanted
two glands to the old mans body,
whereas previous operations perform
ed here transplanted only one gland.
Because of the double nature of the
operation the old man will be watch
ed carefully to prevent STRAIN
must remain known to the public as
the "old man" Prison officials refuse
to divulge his name, or even his num-
Der 1t was learned, however, that
he was sent up for sixty years. from
Ventura county in 1902 for murder.
He was paroled in 1913, but bike his
parole in a few days and Was sent
back to prison.
He does not know his exact age, but
best Information places it at between
81 and GO.
Whether the operation will prolong
his life, allowing him to serve more OF
his long sentence, the doctors would
not predict
Strengthening Of the entire body
should result" said the operating
physician. Similar operations in the
past have resulted in strengthened
eyesight and hearing, gain in weight
and resumption Of general youthful
appearance and increased energy and
ambitions.
The physicians had desired avoiding
publicity this time in order that their
experiment might be fully matured
for presentation before the American
Medical society.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-If the
sugar supply is taken from control OF
the governments of the world, a short.
age is sure to be felt and prices will
be high. Dr. Alonzo Taylor told a SEN
ate subcommittee investigating the
sugar situation today
Taylor represented the secretary OF
agriculture at the hearings. He is a
former member of the war trade board.
The people Of Europe are protest
ing against government restriction,
but the people of America are con-
Stunning what they please, regardless
of price, Taylor said.
The committee is considering the
bill to continue the sugar equaliza-
ton board for a year.
Judge William A. Glasgow, of the
sugar equalization board, told the
committee, that the only possible
method of price control was in the
war, and that unless the board was
given full power over the wholesale
dealers there would be no use in
maintaining 1t.
Senator Ransdell, Louisiana, favor.
ed purchasing outright the available
Cuban sugar crop and fixing prices
by method Of publicity, but Judge
Glasgow declared prices could no
longer be fixed by public opinion.
Senator Harrison, Mississippi, told
the committee that he understood
Louisiana planters intended to with
hold their cane crop If the licensing
prevailed, preferring to replant rather
than accept what they considered an
insufficient profit
Judge Glasgow said he had heard
of no such proposal and that he be-
lieved the licensing system could be
renewed without serious complaint
from the sugar refiners or the sugar
interests in general

Daily Stock Letter.

limited Press Leased Wire Service
NEW YORK, Oct. 1S.-The New
York Evening Suns financial review
today said:
The price lists in today's short ses'
sion of the stock market presented
little feature of more than passing
interest, except in the case of certain
specially issue and groups, notably
the motors, which ran to gains Of one
to eight points in the first half hour
of trading.
The motor shares kept well in the
wake of the motor shares proper. The
standard stocks as whole were mar
row. although here and there strong
spots came to The surface, like
Pressed Steel Car, which was spurred
on by talk of a coming increase in
the dividend rate; American Can,
American Hide and Leather common
and preferred, Midvale Steel, Ameri-
can Locomotive and others. The
rails were quite neglected and dis
posed to be a bit heavy.
There was a cession of strength
through the entire list in the second
hour, except in the case Of one or
two of the more buoyant motors.
Pierce Arrow. however, after mo-
mentary setback, resumed its ad,
vance, crossing 81 to a gain Of ten
points or whereabouts. Pressed Steel
Car pushed through 102. American
Wooden was strong and so were some
of the minor rails, particularly Pere
Marquette common and voting trust
certificates.
