Rigid Paralysis Partly
Relieved by Operation,
Is Claim Of Surgeons

CHICAGO, Oct. 16.-An operation
which may offer a partial cure for
rigid paralysis was performed here
Tuesday by DR.. j. G.. Hunter, pro-
fessor of anatomy, and Or. n. D.
Royle, orthopedic surgeon. Both
men are attached to the University

method whereby the operation is per-
formed. in which he was assisted by
DR.. Royle.
1t was explained that the operation
is only effective in cases of rigid pa
ralysis where the patient suffers a
twisted or deformed limb, which he
is unable to control. The surgeons
sever from the spinal branch the
nerves that cause the ri9idity of the
muscles. The limb is then loosened
and can be controlled only by actual
thought. No reflex action remains
and the limb must be educated to
function as does a babys hand
In no case, it was pointed out, can
the new treatment be attempted
upon patients whose mentality has
been destroyed, since only by mental
control over the effective member
can it be educated back to useful
ness. Both surgeons emphasized
that they do not remove the cause

baby, brought here to the soleprint
office, would be readily identified

there was always the chance that
the child they held was not theirs.

DAVIS PROMISES
To END FAVOR|T|SM
IN ILLINOIS SPEECH

QUINCY, Ill, Oct. 15.-By the
Associated Press -Continuing his
attacks on the lack of efficiency
coordination and harmony that has
prevailed in the national govern
ment," John w. Davis, Democratic
presidential candidate, appealed to
voters here, pledging that, if they
would vote the Democratic ticket in
the scales of justice and administra-
ton even"
At Hannibal, Mo-, the candidate
was greeted by the first crowd of
the day. He paid a tribute to
Champ Clarks memory and declared
that patriot and statesman" if he
we're alive today, would denounce
the corruption that has appeared in
the national government in the last
three and one-half years.
with what SATIRE Mr.. Davis
said, referring to Champ Clark,
would he point out the lack of eff
ficiency and coordination and har-
tional government during that time.
And with what burning eliquence he
would point again to those great
principles of Democratic government
and popular liberty that his party
and my party and the party of all
Democrats, has stood for $50 years.
with all my soul / wish Champ
Clark were with us today, and ] pay
oil this soil a reverent tribute TO
his memory as that of great man
and a great patriot"
Mr.. Davis said. at Hannibal, he
was proud to stand on the spot that
produced Mark Twain
He outlined what he said were
two contrasting theories, "one, that
government exists Tor what you can
get out of it, and the other that
\ governments exist for what you can
put into them
I'VE believe, as Democrats" he
said, that it is not the function of
the government to bestow privileges
and favor and advantage first upon
this r Al and then upon that, but
to hold the scales of justice and adj
ministration even snd so to admin
lister the government that the com

farmerlabor senators. He speaks to-
night in Minneapolis and then will
swing into South Dakota for a cam
paign speech tomorrow night in
Sioux Falls.
1t appeared probable today that in
both of these addresses the independ.
ent candidate for president would
discuss the problems of the farmer
as he did here last night to an audi
ence which filled the coliseum, the
largest auditorium in Des Moines.
Mr.. La Toilette renewed his charge
that the federal reserve board, lin
conspiracy witt New York and Chi
cago bankers" put into effect a de-
flatfon policy four years ago which
proved ruinous to American agricul-
ture. The board, he declared, has
worked hand in glove with Wall
street to exploit the farmer and the
producer"
If elected. the Wisconsin senator
said, he would make banking credit
''the servant of the people rather
than it's master" by providing foI
the organization Of cooperative
banks and the functioning of the
federal reserve board as it was in
tended to- function. In addition, he
declared, legislation is needed to con-
troll Invertebrates, prevent usury and
to insure the use of the peoples
