CAN'T REVIVE LIFE
AFTER EXECUTION
Prison Doctor Says Adrena-
line ChIorate Failed in
Twenty Experiments.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BOSTON, September 17.-Dr. Amos
o. Squire. physician at Sing Sing
prison. told the delegates to the
American Prison Association conven-
ton here today that It was impossible
to revive life by the injection of a
solution of adrenaline chlorate in the
heart wall after electrocution. He
said that he had experimented with
twenty men, and that 1t was found
to be impossible to bring them back
to life. He had offlciated at the exc
cutions OF ia persons at Sing Sing.
"At most of our autopsies We are
able to produce fbrilIar contraction
of the heart by touching the wall
with an instrument" DR.. Squire said.
And sometimes we can produce this
for over an hour after death. The
injection of a solution OF adrenaiine
chlorate in the heart wall does not
produce any contraction OF the heart
muscle. so II can be seen that IT is
impossible to revive life by tnls
means after electrocution.
DR.. Squire said capital punishment
had not been such u deterrent FACTOR
as It's advocates hoped 1t would be.
I'm the United states in 1872. with
a population of about ll0,Oe0,OOO
neople'' he added, there were APP
proximately $500 homicides, and but
ia executions, whereas in Great Brit
ain and Wales with approximately
40. 900, 900 people there were put o."
murders"

Mrs James. 81 don't wonder you
can't bear to let me have 1t, Mr..
Hicks"
"Oh, that'n be all right, marm," re
sponded Silas cheerily.
An elemental hatred for the gobbler
had come to fill his heart. Christmas
was at hand. He pictured how, on the
morrow. he would grab the bird, he
would insult 1t with all the turkey
abuse that he had picked up from it (;
then it should die slowly, as he would
like John to die.
On Christmas morning he found a
letter from an unknown correspondent
In the city. Opening 1t, he read that
his brother John was dead.
John had left forty thousand dollars,
half Of which was to 60 to Silas, Tin
memory Of our boyhood times together,
and In the hope that any Ill feeling,
If 1t existed, has long ago been can
celed."
Silas stared at the letter. His eyes
grew misty. He saw John again as q
little boy upon the farm; his heart
went out to him across the years.
Goblet Gobble! The big turkey
was standing In front Of him, its head
on one side, one claw raised, begging
for crumbs.
"You great big faker. your beloved
Silas.
The gobbler, looking little alarmed,
retreated step or two.
.
"Oh, Mr.. Hicks, I'm willing to pay
for that turkey, but somehow II feel
just can't eat him after seeing him
grow up from babyhood."
"Wal, Mrs. James. / was kinder
feeling that way myself" said Silas

I'm selling out and going south, and /
was figuring on taking him along and
raising turkeys"

Los ANGELES To
HONOR MONROE
DOCTRINE
Centennial Anniversary Will
Include Historical Revue and
Film Exposition.
BY WILLIAM CAYCE,
Universal Service.

LOS ANGELES, April 25.-In-
tensive preparations are under way
in Southern California for the stag
ing of the Monroe Doctrine Cen
tennial, to be held in Los Angeles
July 2 to August 4, in the form
of an American Historical Revue
and Motion Picture Exposition.
AS the name implies the event
will commemorate the one hun
dreth anniversary of the promulga-
ton of the Monroe Doctrine, and
for that reason it is attracting ex-
tensive support from the Latin
American republics whose territorial
integrity the doctrine has protected
during the last. century.
Celebrities Invited.
Reports indicate that the GEN.
tennial will be of outstanding bril-
lance in the annals of the Amerl-
cas-. President Harding is said to
have already accepted an invitation
to be present at the exposition
premiere on the night of July 2.
The premiere will bring together
members of Congress, diplomats,
representatives of the Latin-Ameri-
can countries, as well as stars and
celebrities of the motion picture in
dustry, which as a whole, is spon-
soring the centennial.
The scheme of the program of the
exposition transcends imagination.
The american Historical Revue
of the exposition will present the
highlights of American history,
such as the discovery of America
and the first English settlement, as
selected for thier Importance by o
jury of educators, historians and
scholars. The entire resources OF
the motion picture industry will be
poured into the staging of. these
events in the form of pageants as
historically correct in detail as ex-
haustive search can determine.
Trace Music's Growth.
A wide variety of interest win be
radiated in the centennial as indi-
Gated by the fact that the evolution
of music, tracing the course of
harmony from the crude savage
instruments to the great sympho-
MES of today, will be presented, as
will the evolution of the dance,
embracing the progress of the
terpsichorean art from pre-Bibicai
days through the ages.
Women's participation In the CEN
tennial via be, signaIized in the
Women's court, wherein will be
erected an auditorium which
notables will discuss world affairs
affecting women.
Exhibits at the exposition will
represent Virtually every section of
the civilized world An innovation
in exposition history ties lin the
privilege Of each exhibitor to place
his exhibition especial RECONSTRUCTED

the other features of the centen-
NAL will be filmed and theaerecord
