 AS CUBA BALLOTS
Business To Be Suspended On The Entire Island
(Rusiness Associated Press. )

HAVANA, Cuba, Ot. 31.-Business activities in Cuba will halt tomorrow while the electors decide the next presi- dent of the republic, as between former President Mario G. Minocal and Gen. eral GerardO Machada.
 The campaign between Mechado, heading the liberal ticket, and Menocal, nominee of the Conservative party, has been tense. It brought an armed clash recently in the city of Camaguey, where dozen men lost their lives Since then, the situation, Outwardly at least, has grown more quiet and gov ernment officials believe that except for possible isolated violence the election will pass quietly.
 President Zayas, who declined to run for a second term when he failed to add the conservative nomination to that given him by the Popular party. has announced an impartial stand. He has ordered that all police be held on duty, with troops at strategic points, and has placed censorship on radio broadcasting.
 Domestic issues have been to the fore in the campaign, both candidates urg- ing reforms and promising better roads, schools, water supply and other public improvements. Both Machado and IMenocal have been accused by their op- ponents among the more sensational newspapers of planning revolution in event of defeat.

Government Counsel Forces Admission From
 Mine Head
ueased Wire to The Axe. .Herald.)

Leased Wire to Inc Age-Heraid.) LOS ANGELES, Oct. 31.--New at- Jacks on the legality of leases granted E. l.. Doheny oil interests were made by the government Friday in cross-ex- animation of H. Foster -Bain, director of the federal bureau of mines. A sharp assault on testimony offered by Bain when he appeared as de fense witness was made by Owen J. Roberts, of the government counsel, who secured admissions that:
 I. Albert B. Fall never relinquished his supervision over the award of con tracts for construction of oil storage facilities at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
 2. Joseph J. Cotter, vice president of the Pan-American Petroleum and Transport company, was consulted ire auently before bids for the projects were received, and some of his sug- gestions regarding their terms were acted upon.
 Charles Misleading Testimony
 The government counsel raised the insinuation that Cotter had attempted to mislead the government by securing Bain's testimony that the. Doheny of- ficial Had declared the eastern section of Naval Reserve No. at Elk Hills of less value than other portions.
 This state, Roberts pointed out, was in direct opposition to the company's desire to lease it, and for Bain's opinion that the eastern region was the most valuable in the reserve. | Roberts also drew the admission from Bain that, prior to receipt of bids of the Pearl Harbor work, Fall had told him he was confident that the Doheny company would be satisfied to exchange royalty oil for the cost of the storage projects.
 Protests Ignorance. %
 Bain testified that he knew nothing of any agreement whereby preferential rights to leases on the eastern half of Naval Reserve Number l would be bestowed until he saw the provision in the lPan-American bid. This stipula- tion enabled the bidding firm to reduce by $235,OOO the sum for which the Pearl Harbor construction work would be done and Roberts will attempt to show that the Doheny concern was the only one to know this proposal would be accepted. >t= .- >s,..~.

He solicited sums from republican office holders or of- flee seekers who didn't want their names mentioned. Another $2,OO0 was given by four men who have always been republicans.

VIENNA, July 23.-The complete
recovery of a patient operated upon
here for angina pectoris by the
American surgeons DIR. Walter b.
Coffey and DR.. Brown of the South
eru Pacific Hospital, San Francisco.
has aroused the keenest interest of
conference of three groups of ply
sicians from various parts of the
world who have been directing their
efforts to the relief of angina pee
toris by surgery.
The conference was called by Prof.
Wtnckenbach, well known heart
specialist of Vienna University, who
delivered a course of lectures on that
subject in the United States last year,
and included, in addition to DrS.
ckebach Coffey and Brown
rrofs. Eppinger, Hofer and Winter.
berg of Vienna and Prof. Nesta of
bucharest. Prof Wenckebach visit
to America did much to further his
efforts TO promote the idea of inter
national cooperation in medicine ana
surgery.
Much Is Learned.
The most important scientific re
suit of the conference found by the
surgical experts lies not merely IN
comparison of the operative methods
OF Prof Hofer and the American
surgeons. but in the contribution
which these operations have made to
the physiology of the hearts action
and the fact that much has been
learned which will assist in the treat
mcnt of certain forms of heart
affections
BY two entirely different routes these
surgeons have succeeded in relieving at
tackS of angina pectoriS. In addition to
scvering the sympathetic nerve asSo-
cattd with spasms of the aorta, the.
American surgeons also severed the
sympa thetc connections of the depres-
sor nerve, which is that part of the sys-
tenn of heart control with which the
operations of Drs. Hofer and Eppinger
have to do.
one of the difficulties connected with
the operation performed by Drs. Coffey
and Brown arises from the fact that the
de epreSsor AS a separate nerve is rarely
found, and where it cannot be found
The possibility of relief by cutting the
lower end of the Vagus, or pneumogas-
trio nerve, is difficult. Such an alter
native is considered by the surgeons
as dangerous and of doubtful beneht.
Another conference VIII be neld
within a year. and the hope is ex-
pressed that psychologists the world
over Will contribute to d better un-
derstanding of the true relations of
the nerves.
