ators Norris and Howell, Nebraska,
would break the deadlock. Neither
has yet voted for Smith, though both
have voted with the progressives for
Senator Couzens. Michigan.
Watson's message to Mr.. Coolidge
was taken as an indication Admins
tration forces, after canvassing the
situation, were convinced there was
no way to prevent election Of Smith.
While Watson was reporting to the
President on behalf of Admintstra-
ton leaders, it was reported Hiram
Johnson, Mr.. Coolidge's rival for the
Republican presidential nomination,
was about to break away from the Ad-
ministration group when voting was
resumed today.
johnson Is Responsible
Johnson, 1t was understood, was re-
sponsible for Senator Norbeck's switch
to Couzens on the last ballot taken yes
terday.
Senator Moses, New Hampshire,
who called at the White House imme-
diately after Watson disagreed with
the latter's prediction Of the election
Of Smith. He said he was certain How

or just looking.
Prosecution is Active
In marked contrast to the prisoner s
idle indifference is the activity at the
Office of Remy. AS the prosecutor has
appointed no Criminal Court deputy
as yet he will handle the case person
ally. Remy is carefully organizing
the ciIcumstantial evidence upon
which he intends to ask a conviction
Under Indiana statutes conviction
OF murder in the first degree carries
a penalty of electrocution or life i'm
prisonment. either of which may be
fixed by the jury.
Other verdicts which It is possible
to bring in against Shaw are second
degree murder, manslaughter, and not
guilty. The former carries life i'm
prisonment and manslaughter two to
twenty-one years. OF fourteen mur-
derers convicted here in 1923 the ma
jority have been given two to twenty
one years.
I30 Names for Jury
With the drawing Of fifty names of
talesmen approximately 130 potential
jurors will be available. A special
venire of seventy-five names drawn
for another trial originally set for
Wednesday and five regular jurors
are included. 1t is expected the first
day will be taken by efforts to get a
jury.
The State will attempt to prove
Shaw guilty on evidence that Mrs.
Whelchers watch was traced by de-
tectives from an Indiana pawnship
through two hands to Shaw; that her
diamond ring was found on Cora Lee
Smith, colored. who said Shaw gave 1t
to her; that four men who were out
hunting say they saw Shaw with the
body OF a woman in his auto west Of
where the body was found.
1t is expected that Shaw Will at
tempt to prove an alibi and rest on the
theory provided by law that a prisoner
must be considered innocent until the
State has proved beyond all reason
able doubt" that he is guilty.

REFUSE TO REVEAL NAMES
Odd Superstition That Prevails Among
Certain Island Tribes Of Ameri.
can Indians.

Writing Of tabooed words In "The
Golden Bough," Sir ]. G. Frazer says:
1.-The Indians Of Chloe keep their
names secret and do not like to have
them uttered aloud; for they say that
there are fairies or imps on the main
land or neighboring islands who, If
they knew folks names, would do
them an injury; but so long as they
do not know the names these mis-
chievous sprites are powerless.
1.-THE Araucanians will hardly ever
tell stranger their names, because
they fear that he would thereby ac-
quire some supernatural power over
themselves. Asked his name by a
stranger who is ignorant of their SUI
perstitions, an Araucanian will an
swer. I have none
"When an Ojbway is asked his
name he will look at some bystander
and ask him to answer"
"Sure! Even the apaches Of the
rogues gallery know the evil omen of
the real name Hence the origin and
would-be magic of the "alias."

To Stop Bleeding From Nose.

When we remember that not very
long ago venesection, or bleeding by
the physician, was favorite method
of treatment and that leeches were
used FOR local bleeding, we can the
more readily understand that SIM
pie attack of nosebleed is nothing to
be afraid of. At the same time, how
ever, it may he well to commit to
memory a few simple precautions. The
patient should always sit. upright and
should hold the chin down to enable
he blood to flow forward through the
nose and not backward into the
throat. Tight collars and bands round
tle neck should be loosened, and cold
should be applied to the wrists or to
she hack of the neck 1t often helps to
snuff cold water up the nose. If the
Needing comes from a small spot In
side the nose, the spot should be
treated with an astringent or with nj
trate of silver.-YOuths Companion.

MEN in PREHISTORIC TIMES
No Proof That There Was Gradual
Rise From Savagery to Prae-
tIce of Human Virtues.

1t Is proved that men-true mem
existed on this earth many thousand
years ago. How many no one can
certainly say, but certainly longer than
the period accepted as strict dogma
by Bible Christians within living mem
DRY (and still affirmed by some Of
them). 1t is not proved, but it is high
ly probable that there is genetic con-
nection between man as we know him
and the earlier inferior types of which
evidence remains.
If critic were to maintain that man
as we know himsrose suddenly from
some other type not yet found (for the
evidence is very fragmentary and
slight, he would not be contradict
ing ascertained fact; on the contrary,
he has on his side the anomaly of fine
skulls found in apparently very early
strata; all that department is quite
Iinfixed.
That nan as we know him WAS q
vile thing for countless generations and
sradually-very gradual!y-rose to
practice the human VIRTUES and intel
ligence is not proved at all. Even the
vague analogy from existing savages
fails. Some savages are Of one char
acter, some of another; all as old in
descent as ourselves The excessive
evil affirmed Of true man when first he
could be so called is sheer unsup-
ported affirmation proceeding not from
evidence-for we have none-but from
mood desire that things should be
so.-Yale Review.
