(By Associated Press.)

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 26.-Spec. tacular results in the treatment or pneumonia ill children with mercuro- chrome. one of the medicinal develop ments following the war, were an nounced by Dr. Lewis D. Hoppe, Jr.. and Dr. William T. Freeman, both of Atlanta, in a joint discussion to mem- hers of the Southern Medical associa- ton at the meeting of pedlatrlcs sec tion today.
 A series of cases treated with mer- curochrome in the last eight months recorded a mortality rate of only 50 per cent, the medical men showed. The same number of pneumonia cases treated in other ways showed mortai- ;ty rate of 39.7 per cent. The average 1enptb of cases treated with mercuro- chrome was six and one-half days.
 A safety campaign which is bring ing the dread word operation" a new meaning of security is among the ad- yances reported at the. scientific ses- sions of the Southern Association of Anaesthesists. Advances of research workers of the operating rooms have brought results that will revolutionize the science of surgical operations, the papers showed. ...y
 A campaign of safety first" has been sponsored by the National Anes- thesia Research society, which means the sending out of hundreds Of thou- sands of safety charts. These charts require a thorough physica! examlna- ton to determine patient risk before operation is attempted.
 By this added warning, the anaes- thist and surgeon are able to save many lives. Experiments during the year that the charts have been in use have shown this loss has been cut down from 5 to less than per cent. Contrary to popular opinion the average Ameri- can is fitted to ''sit in on his own op- eration." the summary declared.

Slayer Of Officials Of Pennsylvania Concern
 Kills Himself
(By Associated Press.)

DUBOIS, Pa., Nov. 26.-Harry W. Jackson, president and manager of the Jackson Vitrified China company, and William Darden of Chicago, the sales manager, were shot and instantly killed at noon today by John Soukup, of Cleve- land, according to police, who declared that Soukup then shot himself through the head, dying instantly. A dispute over wages claimed by Soukup to have been due from another company in which Jackson was interested was said to have been responsible for the trag- edy.
 The three bodies were found lying close together near the China plant at Falls Creek, two miles from here. Two pistols were beside the bodies. Accord ing to police, Soukup fired from one until it had been emptied and then used the second.
 Soukup came to Dubois from Cleve- land last Saturday to press his claim against the China company, according to police, but was told at the company's office that the present concern had no connection with the company for which he claimed to have worked thirteen years ago.

MOBILE EXPECTS
 NEW SENSATION
"A Indicted In Alleged Rum
 Ring Conspiracy

MOBILE, Ala, Nov. 26.-Federal grand jury indictments returned today will form the foundation for further sensational developments in the alleged whisky traffic situation in Mobile, ac- cording to persistent reports. It was rumored that indictments based on evil dence indicating alleged 'liquor ring operations were returned against sev- eral prominent personages, some of whom were not defendants in the fa- nous conspiracy trial last spring? when number of well-known Mobile men faced a jury in United States district court.
 Rumors also were circulated to the effect that indictments were returned against certain defense witnesses, charged with having committed per jury in the conspiracy case trial.
 Twenty-four true bills resulted from a total of 25 cases investigated by the grand jury at the November term. The serving of capiases will perhaps not be started before Friday because of the fact that tomorrow is holiday. In the meantime no authentic information is available regarding the names of per sons indicted, but it was generally ru- mored that several we'll known Mo bilians were indicted in connection with the alleged booze ring"

OPPOSES MAKING
 OF LOONEY GAS
New Jersey Executive Receives
 Labor Heads Report

TRENTON, N. J., Nov. 2e.-state Labor Commissioner Andrew P. Me Bride in a report to Governor Silzer to- day opposed any effort to resume the production In New Jersey of tetraethyl lead, also called "looney gas" unless new safeguards are provided. The re- port covered an investigation into the recent death of several men from the poison at the Bayway plant of the Standard Oil company.
 Attention was called in the report to the general sale of another extremely poisonous material. The base of the product was declared to be nitro-benzol, used for a mixture with gasoline to prevent carbon deposition in the cylin- ders. The report alleged that not the slightest caution label it attached to the containers and death may readily result from spilling nitro-benzol on clothing.

SENIOR JURISTS
 URGE DRY UNIT
 UNDER STONE
Declare Immediate Trans fer From Treasury Is
 Desirable
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-Bodily transfer of the prohibition unit from the treasury department to the depart ment of justice, is among the rec commendations adopted by the judicial conference of senior circuit judges, 1t became known today when Chief Justice Taft, as chairman of the conference, addressed letter to Attorney General Stone transmitting a request that he embody the proposal in his annual re- port to congress.
 The senior circuit judges, familiar with court conditions and reflectlng the oplnion of federal district judges, take the position that the transfer should be made at once. Easing their recom- prosecutions arising under the prohibit tion law, the judges, with Chief Justice Taft concurring, declare that such a transfer would make much for ef- fectiveness in enforcing the law
 Hay Trivial Prosecutions
 In the statement which they ask to have transmitted to congress, the judges asserted that "all the appropriations for such enforcement should be ex- pended under the direction of the attor- ney general. In that way, they said. the attempted prosecution of trivial, futile and unimportant cases, which now crowd the dockets through the ill- advised zeal and practical ignorance of prohibition agents, can be avoided, and only those cases taken up and pressed which will really deter the principal of lenders, and in the preparation of which district attorneys will have a personal responsibility"
 Renewing their recommendation for the addition of two new circuit judges in the Eighth circuit, two new district judges in the southern district of New York, and Une new district judge in the northern district of Georgia, the con- ference also urged the creation of new district judge in the western district of New York and an additional district judge for Maryland.
 Seek Law Book Fund
 The president, the director of the bud get and congress are urged by the judges to provide each of the nine circuit courts of appeals with S25 5,0O0,000 an- nually for the repair of old books and the purchase of new ones.
 A resolution declaring the law en- forcement situation demands the se- rious consideration by all three branches of the government was presented to President Coolidge and Attorney Gen. eral Stone today by the executive com mittee of the Anti-Saloon League of America.
 Declaring an "anamolous situation is created by divided responsibility in en- forcement of national prohibition" the resolution asked for passage of bill introduced last session providing for the uniting of law enforcement work into one bureau.
 The resolution also protested against ''the continued employment in public office of those government employees who are violating the law by purchas- Aing liquor from bootleggers."

"A nagging wife will make man do anything" Hogan told the gover- nor. Mrs. Brady was the worst ever. This man committed murder, it is true, but a nagging wife certain- ly is some excuse for violence and Brady should not have to pay the supreme penalty"
 The governor wasn't totally deaf to the plea. He said he understood and that the case would be taken under advisement. The next day, No yember IA, when Brady was to have been executed, Donahey signed fourteen-day stay of execution: Since then he has had several conferences with attorneys, but up until the night before Thanksgiving no word had come from the executive that he would take further action in Brady's case.

COLUMBUS, Nov. 26.-With the dawn of Thanksgiving day. few peo- pie will have more reason to be thankful than will James Brady.
 Scheduled to die in the electric chair a few minutes after 12 o'clock Thanksgiving night, Brady, in his cell in the death house of the state penitentiary, learned Wednesday night that Governor Vic Donahey had com muted his sentence to life imprison- ment. The governor acted almost within 24 hours of the time set fro the electrocution.
 Brady killed his wife-beat her to death with a meat cleaver because she nagged him. The nagging wasn't his defense at the trial, but it is the plea Timothy Hogan, Brady's attor- ney, used in appealing to the gover- nor several weeks ago for a com mutation of sentence.
