 The operation was performed when it was determined that the number of germs was sufficient to start new focus, or center of propagation, on the opposite leg from the one to which they first gained entrance. This was evacuated in last nights operation and the septic matter was drained away. In addition fact of value in the treat ment was disclosed. Septic infections frequently are due to the attack of more than one type of pus forming germ, but only the easily recognized staphlycocci appeared in the micro scopic studies.
 Treatment Simplified
 To some degree the treatment needed was simplified, it was said, although in no way was the dnager lessened. Physicians, were understood, now that their patient is in hospital surround ings, to be able to take instant action to cleanse and drain any new local concentrations of the infection.

GREY REYNOLDS IS HELD AT JAIL
 NBATES MURDER
Second Arrest In Killing At w. D. Clark's
 Home

"- .
 Grey Reynolds was held in the city jail Sunday after being arrested Sat urday night, charged with the murder of Sam Bates, age 20, who was shot at the home of ". D. Clark in Wood lawn on the night of May 27.
 Clark has been held charged with the Same crime since he was re-arrested several days ago, following state ment made by his wife, denying her former story that her husband had killed Bates after the latter had made an attack upon her. Both Reynolds and Clark are now held without bond. .
 The shooting is believed to have oc- cured, according to deputy sheriffs, when Reyonlds, Clak and Bates be- came engaged in a quarrel at Clark's home. On the night when the murder occurred, Clark telephoned police head quarters and said he bld killed a man, and surrendered to officers.
 Several days later, he was released when he pleaded the unwritten law in a hearing before Judge H. B. Aberne- thy. His testimony was substantiated by that of his wife. Later, Mrs. Clark came to Solicitor Jim Davis and said she had testified falsely, upon threats of death made by her husband, and that she was not in the house when the murder occurred.

FATE OF PARTY

 ment of lip service it was blown out by a shush of expediency.
 Perhaps Fitting
 Perhaps it was fitting that the con- vention could thus turn its back upon brotherhood for it was about to plunge The fist fights, the solid ring of big policemen standing shoulder to should CT around the arena floor, the catcalls and misses that shot back and forth those told the story of the degeneration of a political convention into a primi- tive mob.
 Then, as if the last vestige of self respect had gone, the convention, with out protest, permitted the party's patriarch, William J. Bryan, to be sub jeeted to such a hooting as even the worst ham actor is spared in these days. With tragic irony, the man who would not let his party be crucified on cross of gold one generation ago, was now crucified with a cry of ''oil' and was not permitted, after he endorsed Me Adoo, to finish his speech in respectful silence. Even as he came and went on the convention floor that night, he was hissed and booted with impunity by gal lery occupants, many of whose fathers were tilling in the vineyards of Italy when Bryan become the party's idol with his speech on the cross of gold.
 Hoped For Stampede
 By this time the mob psychology was so well established in the convention that the Smith forces came in with the bold proposal that Governor Smith be invited to address the convention. They hoped that by some deviee,- they could get him before the convention and then stampede it. When that failed to meet the convention's approval, numerous suggestions began to be made that Me Adoo and Smith withdraw slmultane- ously in order that the convention might proceed to ballot on the com- promise candidates.
 "It's ridiculous to ask the high man to quit" McAdoo's manager retorted.
 If we can get the unit rule thrown off, we'll get a majority in this con cention," the Smith forces declared.
 Then came a few more ballots with no change in the lineup. Finally, the delegates showing no disposition to as- sert their independence and break away from the deadlocked candidates, the convention leaders took matters into their own hand and went into session over ;he weekend to see if an agree ment could be reached.
 Meanwhile, hour by hour, Senator Walsh, the permanent chairman, watches his convention kill off by inches the golden opportunity which he provided for the party when he lifted the lid of Teapot Dome. ''-
