DR.. CUTLER TO BE
CONFERENCE MEMBER

Inasmuch as the coming c)Eter-
ence will be composed Of delegates
chosen to attend the Hot Springs
general or quadrennial conference,
Rev John M. Cutler, pastor of
Americas First Methodist churcII
will be a member of that body. TIL"
question of unification is one of the
most important ever presented be-
fore a general conference of the
Southern Methodist church, and the
issue has occupied the attention Of
ecclesiastic authoities during sew
eral years. The proposed plan of
unification, which it is indicated
will be formally adopted at he
coming conference, cortempiates
complete unity between the two
church organizations in all things
foreign, with full autonomy in
home affairs, the union being mod
eled largely after the union of
American states, with powers not
specifically delegated to the united
church retained by the separate
northern and southern sections.

NEW ANAESTHETIC
is DISCOVERED

NEW ORLEANS, La, May 27.--
Discovery Of a new anaesthetic is
announced by DIR. John T. Halsey,
professor of Pharmacology and
and therapeutics at Tulane univers
ity, in a paper read before the New
Orleans Medical society.
The anesthetic is proplyene gas.
contained in some natural gas, a I'd
which DR.. Halsey and his laboratory
assistants, Chapman Reynolds and
Harold B. Cook, the three of whom
discovered its properties, believe it
can be manufactured from miner
al oils. DR.. Halsey's announcement
came after several months of lab
oratory work by his assistants and
himself.
"Propylene is similar to ethylene
the discovery of whose anesthetic
properties, announced last year in
Chicago, was hailed with enthus-
iasm by the medical profession, and
resulted in it's extensive use in
thousands of surgical cases." said
DR.. Halsey. "Propylene, it is be-
lieved possesses distinct and striking
advantages over its sister gas ethy-
lene, which has itself been found to
be for most purposes, superior to
any other anesthetic.

EDWARDS WIFE
 MAY TESTIFY
Is Quoted As Saying That Former Husband Is
 Insane

Fred H. Woodward, attorney for Rob- ert Dewey Edwards, who faces a cir cult court jury next Monday for the murder of Miss Imogene Lee, his 1S- year-old sweetheart, announced Friday that efforts are being made to bring Edwards divorced wife here to testify he is "crazy." Woodward said his clients former wife had repeatedly stated he should be in the asylum.
 Edwards is said to have deserted his wife several years ago when their child was born, and she may be induced to appear in his defense in order to save the child from living under the stigma of having it's father hanged. A brother, Tom Edwards, will attend the trial, but Edwards aged mother is unable to come, Woodward said.
 Woodward announced that Judge Felix Alley, noted attorney of Waynes- boro, N. C., would be associated with him in the defense. A postponement of the trial will be asked until Decem- Der s, as Alley cannot come here be- fore that date.
 Solicitor Jim Davis, who will prose- cute the case personally, will resist Ed wards insanity plea and demand the death penalty. The solicitor also will personally press the murder charges against John Milton, confessed axe mur- derer, who is to be tried next week.
