MATERNITY ACT
 |S CONDEMNED
Advocates Abolition of Re strictions on Medical Use
 of Liquors and Drugs

CLEVELAND, Oct. r. - ( By the Associated Press.) - The Shepard Towner maternity act was condemned as another form of bureaucracy which accomplished little more than the spearate states are now doing and has provided soft jobs for political appointees," J. Whalen, of Chicago, editor of the Illinois Medical Journal, declared here today at the opening session of the fifty-third annual meet ing of the American Medical Editors Association. Sessions of the editors association are now being held in con- nectiOn with the first annual conven- ton of the American Public Health Association which formally opened it's convention here tonight
 Abolition of government regulations over physicians in prohibiting narcotic drugs and alcoholic beverages was ad- vocated by Dr. F. H. McMechan, edi- tor of the Ohio State Medical Journal.
 Medical men should be permitted to use drugs and whiskey in the treat ment of cases without being hampered by federal regulations" Dr. McMeehan declared. Under the present enforce ment laws, bureau of laymen deter mines how he shall use these valua- ble therapeutic remedies
 Dr. McMechan declared in describ- ing diphtheria that whiskey is pre- scribed in certain stages of the dis ease and that four-year-old child can be given quart of whiskey in 24 hours and not become drunk.
 What is a physician to do in a case like that?" he asked. Buy whiskey from bootlegger, thus breaking the law and running the risk of killing the patient because of the quality of the liquor?"
 The question of heredity is a medi' cal problem, according to Dr. J. N Hurty, of Indianapolis, in an address before the American Public Health Association
 Every child has an inalienable right to be born free from disease free from deformity and with pure blood" he declared. Parents with a 1 hereditary taint are not fit to be pro genitors. This is not moral prob lem nor an intellectual one, but al out-and-out medical. problem, on the solution of which the welfare of tho race hangs"

Highway Engineers
 Disagree Engineers

Road building is being done far more scientifically now than it was few years ago. There are two schools of engineers who still advocate the rigid pavement to withstand the impact shocks of heavy traffic and the other school believes that cushioned pave meht is best.
 The asphaltic concrete pavement fits the theory of the engineers who advocate a resilient shock absorbing pavement and the cement concrete pavement meets the views of those who favor the rigid pavement. Cali fornia after. long, hitter and costly experience with rigid pavements, is turning rapidly toward the resilient types. The latter have gained favor also in Washington. Arizona, Arkansas Texas, North Carolina, Kentucky, Ten nessee, Florida, Missouri, Illinois, Mich igan, Massachusetts. Connecticut and Rhode Island. Oregon has used both kinds of material on its roads and, like the other states mentioned, will be in a position in few years to determine which school of engineers holds the correct theory.

that life at home was unbearable and that he fled from Clara's alternate embraces and rebuffs to more sympa- thetic company.
 Final hours preceding the trial are filled with many surprises. The de- fense maintains the state adroitly in famed public opinion by printing fragamentary evidence, that only part of the Alberta Meadows diary has been divulged, that even Peggy Caffee, eyewitness, has failed to detail many obscure phases of her account of the murder. The state replies that Phil lips confession is untrue.
 Through all the last-minute sur prises, charges and counter charges Clara Phillips, 26. who pleaded not guilty, sits tight-liped but with reas surance in her cell, awaiting trial, her husbands alleged vagrant affections now back to her again, as he works for her acquittal.

HAMMER CASE TRIAL TO START Prosecution and Defense Prepare Many Surprises
By JACK JuNeMEYER

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 17.-First, he told on his wife to shield himself
 Now, to save his wife, he attempts to besmirch the girl he is charged with killing.
 Pictured by the prosecution in this role, Armour l.. Phillips, dapper young Texan, waits to testify in behalf of his wife, Mrs. Clara Phillips, after pro claiming himself love chameleon" on the eve of his wife's trial for the bru- tai hammer staying here of Alberta Meadows, attractive young widow.
 Phillips, whose statement of inta- macy with the slain woman, will bol- ster an unwritten law defense for his wife, has temporarily drawn the spot light of public interest.
 First, he brought about his wites arrest after he had helped her to flee, telling the officers she had confessed the crime to him. He said he feared she might harm herself, and insisted that her fatal jealous fury was with out foundation.
 Now, assuming a moral share in the tragedy, Phillips has confessed through Clara's attorney, that he and Mrs. Meadows were desperately infat- uated, that they were even planning a trip abroad at the time of the mur- der. lssS
 Girls Family Reused
 By these dramatic inconsistencies, the one-time soldier, garage man and oil worker promises to share with Mrs, Peggy Caffee, chief state witness, the heaviest legal crossfire of the trial, which is scheduled to start Oct. 20.
 The prosecution declares it belief that the confession is shockingly false. It also has aroused the fighting bitterness of the slain woman's family, who characterize it 'an unspeakable attempt to besmirch Alberta's untar- nished name to help Mrs. Phillips, and wholly without foundation"
 The killing of Alberta Meadows on a lonely road, in the asserted pres ence of Peggy Caffee, former chorus girl friend of Mrs. Phillips, shocked the country with its grisly details The state will contned Mrs. Phillips adroitly lured her victim into the death trap, charged her with undue interest in Phillips, and then smoth- cred her terrified denials in volley of mutilating hammer blows.
 The state attorneys will declare Phillips latest statement was con cocted at his wife's instigation in dacnarata dilemma If will call many witnesses to refute aspersions on the dead girls character.
 Wife's Love Probed
 But the states original intention putting the domestic relations of the Phillips couple through pitiless andy sis-will be carried on. The nature of Clara's love for her husband will be the main issue, prosecutors say. The state will challenge the genu-

HUSBAND CLAIMS TWINS MURDERED
 WIFE SAYS HOAX
Officials Attempt to Solve Mystery of Missing Twins;
 Alleged Mother Is in Jail

HAMMOND, Ind, Oct, IT, Police today began digging in the yard of the home of Frank McNally, 56 years 2S, in an attempt to solve the mystery that evolves around the twins which McNally declared were born to his wife last December and then disap- peared. He declared they had been slain. The wife, in jail awaiting a pre- liminary hearing tomorrow, denied that the children were born.
 In a statement to reporters Mrs McNally insisted that the supposed twins were but two dolls the hoax be- ing arranged, she added, because of her husbands desire to be known in the world as father"
 MT. McNally declared today that he was prepared to testify that he had seen the twins and fondled them.
 The police tonight said that sof ar their digging had revealed nothing.
 Mrs. McNally declared that she met her husband through an advertise ment and that she had been previous ly married, having a boy of years of age. After their marriage in April, 1921, she said her husband repeatedly expressed desire to become a parent and that they had made an attempt to adopt a child.
 Finally" she added, "his desire to pose before the world as father be- came so acute that we contrived the hoax I agreed that I would hint to neighbors that I was soon to become a mother. Mir. McNally went so far as to engage a woman to act as nurse.
 "As the time we had agreed upon to announce the birth neared. 1 pur- chased two skillfully constructed dolls After a time, we purchased a buggy and I took the dolls out walking daily. We continued the hoax until last April, when we circulated story that we had sent the children to Chicago"
 Mrs. McNally said that thereafter she and her husband became estrang- ed
 The husband asserted that his wife's story was ''the desperate de- fense of a woman who had done away with her children" adding that he had watched the twins as they were nursed by the mother. aa

NEW YORK, Oct. IT, Formation of a Democratic-Republic party which "would represent the predom- inant liberalism of our people" was advocated by Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia univer- sity, in an address tonight at the op- ening of the tenth year of the univer- sity's institute of arts and science. he declared the time had come to move toward higher ground.
 Coalescence of the two old parties, Dr. Butler said, would lead to the or ganization of distinctly radical par ty, thus bringing about an ''honest and sincere division of political forces in this country

 Miss Frankie Lee, former chorus girl associate of Mrs. Phillips, the admits, will be called in an effort to strike at the very under pinning of such an assumption of deep, devotion. Miss Lee is ready to testify that Mrs. Phillips kissed the stage manager of Los Angeles theatre a week before the killing, the prosecution declares. At that time, the state says, Mrs. Phillips made disparaging remarks about her husband, according to the expected testimony of Miss Lee.
 Many Surprises
 Into the trial the state will also try to introduce testimony to show the couple had a stormy married life. Married at Houston, Tex, in 1915, they wered ivorced and remarked in 1918, according to state witnesses. The state will also seek to delve into al legged tempestuous scenes at the Phil lips home for days preceding the mur- der; to show that Phillips told friends

The first would include Europe Africa and those parts of Asia im- mediately adjoining Europe and Atri- ca, or which for long time past have been directly dependent on Eu rope. The second area would be the American continents and the third the Orient, including Japan, China and Siam.
