Hot Springs, Ark, Oct. 20.-Dr. E.
T. House, Ferris, Texas, physician,
will probably continue his efforts to
secure permission to conduct expert
ments on prisoners at the Federal
penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kans.,
to demonstrate his theory that while
under the influence of Scopelamine
anesthetic, or during twilight
sleep" subjects will tell the true facts
regarding crimes of which they are
accused.
In addressing the convention here
of the Medical Association of the
Southwest, DR.. House said that he
intended to use every effort to Sc
cure permission to make experiments
on 1000 prisoners, taking the stand
that this number of experiments will
prove his theory to the satisfaction
of both physicians and criminolo-
gists.
The medical association failed to
give it's official endorsement to DR..
Houses plan, but the subject was
widely discussed in an informal man.
ner and much interest was expressed
in the continuation of the expert
ments, which DR.. House says have
been under way for several years,
and have brought invariable salts
factory results.
Would Not Be Court Evidence.

have been giving to some of their
constituents in many different re-
publican states.
The plan could not have reached
its present state if President Hard
ing had taken action that was in
keeping with his professions in ia
vor of conservation of the govern
ment's income and a reduction of it's
expenditures. The truth is, however,
that President Harding and Secre-
tary Mellon are both parties to the
project of opening the biggest pork
barrep that congress has seen in
many a year.

c, 0. P. HOLDING
UP LURE OF PORK
TO SNARE VOTERS
Bill Being Prepared to
Appropriate Millions
for Postoffices
BY GRATTAN KERANS.
(Special Correspondence.)

Washington, Oct. 20. - With the
approval of President Harding and
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon,
and as stimulus to the republican
campaign fine, big "pork barrel"
is to be opened and it's juicy con-
tents distributed at the next ses-
sion Of congress, beginning in De-
cember. .'r ~'',
The bill is now in process Of prep
aration by Representative Langley
Republican, Kentucky, chairman of
the house committee on public build
ings and grounds, contemplates APP
preparations aggregating 100000
900 for new postoffices, federal build
ings and other structures in various
parts of the country.
While Chairman Langley is at
work on the BARREL" republican can
didates for the senate and the house
are quietly passing the word that if
they are reelected they will get some
of the "pork" for their states and
districts. They are simply trying to
trade few tens of thousands of the
public money for enough votes to
return them to congress.
The first hint of this scheme to use
these proposed buildings as brides
for supporting republican candidates
in the November election came sew
eral weeks ago when The Washing
ton Post, semi-official organ of the
Harding administration, published a
statement that Postmaster General
Work and other members of the cab
met and the president, himself, were
persuaded of the necessity and econ
omy of the governments erecting and
owning buildings for postoffices,
courts and the like.
With that "tip", to guide them, the
republican candidates and their work
ers began to whisper that the way
their districts could share in the
"pork" was to insure majorities for
the G. o. P. This propaganda in be-
half of the "pork" has been conduct
ed with a good deal of secretiveness
not so much because the republicans
regarded their scheme as unethical
and reprehensible as because they
feared it's effect on their claims of
economy" in the conduct of the
government.
The deficit of $7OO,OO0,OO0 which
the treasury is now trying to eX-
punge will require either more care
full scrutiny of appropriations or an
increase in taxation. The govern
ment's revenues are diminishing, and
the treasury is fearful of recon-
mending additional taxes, although
that method of wiping out the def
Iicit has been under serious consider
alton.
Now the republican chairman of
the public buildings and grounds
committee is advertising the admin
istration's plan for spending at least
500, 100000 when there is no pres
ent necessity or excuse for such a
large outlay. 1t is believed that the
announcement of the scheme comes
as a sort of official confirmation of
the hints the republican candidates

CLAIMS POWER TO
DRAW CORRECT TESTIMONY AS
SUBJECT IN TWILIGHT SLEEP

paper, the physician emphasized that
the results of his experiments could
not be expected to stand as evidence
in any court, but claimed that the
facts obtained through questioning of
accused persons or witnesses during
the period of twilight sleep" could
be advantageously used by authori-
ties in the solution of many mystic
rious crimes, and in dozens of in
stances would prevent a miscarriage
of justice, even if the real criminal
was not brought to justice.
The one experiment in Dallas,
Texas, which he cited to the associa-
ton, he said that man under arrest,
charged with a serious crime, seemed
almost certain of conviction on cir
evidence. Twilight
sleep" was induced without the pris-
oner's knowledge, and he gave infor-
nation which, when checked up by
the Dallas police, provide the mans
innocence and resulted in his acquit-
tai. The physician held that, when
his theory had been adequately prov
ed by thorough experiment in hum
dreds of cases, new field in crimi-
nal investigation will be opened up
which will not only prove powerful
aid in the detection of criminals, but
also become a great protection to
those nninstlv accused of crime.
