Plunged Into Heart
To Assure Death

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
LONDON, July 2S. - Sir George
Greenwood, presiding recently at a
meeting of the London Society for the
Prevention Of Premature Burial, said
that he had given directions TO those
who would be his executors to plunge
a stiletto into his heart after his death
so as to make certain Of It. He added
that a schoolmate of his, who became
a great surgeon, insisted that the stab
bling process be carried out as a pre-
caution. Sir George declared he had
no faith in the present so-called mod
ern methods of certifying death.
Miss Emily Axes, honorary secre-
tary of the society, said that one of
the best known men in England,
whose name was a household word,
had once been placed in casket as
dead and when about to be buried
was found to be quite we'll and alive,
and he had lived for some 20 years

The search for George DUTCH An

The police in Dayton and Ohio
CITY where banks were robbed YES
terday, are trying to piece together
the threads of evidence to substantf-
ate theory that Anderson and Wolfe
were responsible for the robberies.
The suppOsition is that the two
left Toledo in an automobile for Mum
Gle and robbed the banks on their
way. At Ohio City $4,000 was OBJ
tanned by two bandits. In Dayton
one masked, twogun, quietly deter
mined robber obtained $4,000. The
robbery was performed in the daring
fashion of Anderson.
Police know that Anderson was in
Toledo this week. They raided an
apartment Tuesday, expecting to cap
ture him, but he had left 1t was

SCIENCE TO SEEK
PACIFIC ILLS CURE
Conference in Toxic Next Fall
to Tackle Many Weighty
Problems.
Correspondence Of the Associated Prsss.

TOXIC, July 19.-The committee of
ways and means of the third Pan-Pa-
cific conference, which Is to be held
at the Toxic Imperial University in
October, 1925, already has extended
formal invitations through the Jap
anese foreign Office to the United
States, Great Britain and other ma
tions with interests in the Pacific
Ocean.
The first conference was held in
Honolulu in 1920. it's purpose being to
study all scientific questions regard
ing the Pacific and to promote
friendly relations among the nations
bordering its shores. The second con-
ference took place in Australia in
1923.
The third conference, next year, is
TO last for u days. Prince Kotohito
Kanin has been elected its honorary
president, the premier OF Japan is to
serve as honorary chairman, while the
diplomatic representatives of the ma
tions invited, the ministers of foreign
affairs and the department of educa-
ton, the president of the house of
peers and the mayor of Toxic will
serve as honorary vice chairmen. DR.
Jyoji Sakursai. professor at the Toxic
Imperial University, has been appoint
ed chairman of the ways and means
committee of the scientific parley. II
is expected that some of the most
prominent scientists in the world will
be in attendance.
Research Is Planned.
The conference is TO be divided in
its functioning into general discussion
and group sessions, which are to con-
duct more specific research into the
physical and biological problems of the
Pacific. They will deal with such mat
ters as racial differences from a purely
scientific point of view, broadcasting
on the Pacific, seismic phenomena and
meteorological conditions.
The subjects to be discussed in the
general sessions have been divided
into three general groups. as follows:
/. Present knowledge on physical
and biological oceanography in the
Pacific, the tidal movements, tempera-
ture of waters and allied topics.
2. Radio broadcasting and aerial
currents on the Pacific, the obstacles
to wireless transmission and means to
overcome them.
8. Structure of the earth and it's
movements in the districts bordering
on the Pacific. earthquakes, elevation
and depression of land along the shore
and similar subjects.

Newly Organized Group Will Aid
Professional Workers in
Bad Plight.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BOSTON, August 15.-The Ameri
can Committee of Intellectual Coop.
eration. formation Of which recently
was announced to collaborate with a
similar international committee Of the
League -. Nations, VIII act as a sort
of champion for intellectual workers
in the United States.
One Of the purposes of the Ameri-
can committee will be to learn the ex-
tent of any evils from which intel
lectual workers in different profes
sions might be suffering and to sug-
gest methods of relief AS an exam
pie, the international group has ap-
proved a measure to protect scientific
property, basing their action upon the
idea that scientific discovery should
rank with artistic creation and techni-
cal invention, which are protected by
copyright and patent. Thus, IL some
law of science were discovered which
later was made applicable to an In
vention not only would the invention
benefit but also the scientist who dis
covered the law.
The committee also will study inter
university relations and furnish to the
international committee data on
courses OF study in various universi-
ties and the extent to which they are
or should be given international recog'
milton.
Methods to establish international
relations between scientists and steps
to facilitite their researches have been
started by the International body and
the American group will do its share
in this respect. Cooperation between
libraries of different countries with a
view to systematic classification OF
their contents and a completion OF
foreign sections by means Of exchange
Is another object.
This committee will be kept in close
touch with groups organized along
similar lines in Austria, Belgium, Bra
zil, British Empire, Bulgaria: Czeeho
slovakia, Chile, Denmark, Esthonia
Finland. France. Greece. Hungary
Italy, Latvia Lithuania, Netherlands
Norway, Panama, Poland, Rumania,
Salvador, Kingdom Of the Serbs
Greats and Slovenes. South Africa
Spain and Switzerland. Other. com
mittees are in process of formation
and each OF these will report to the
international committee. which will
act. in one sense, as clearing house
for ideas
