they found it necessary to invent
and to build much OF their own
apparatus. They perfected glass
needles TO carry the sound vibra-

fine as to be almost invisible.
This delicate instrument was
necessary because all the expert

In conducting the experiment with
planarian worms, the glass needle
was used.
The large end OF the needle was

So delicate was this operation
that scientists used an extremely
sensitive instrument. the micro
manipulator. with which to guide
the needle.
Test Successful
They discovered that when the
needle point was placed against
the worm, even though lightly. the
vibrating point instantly burned
the worm. If the shank of the
vibrating point were placed acoss

The police were stationed in the rear
of the premises, in the 700 block of o

others made an attack from the front.
They were met by Daniel A. Jones, COL

leaped for warning buzzer in the vest

state of their father. Strong relief
showed on the face Of the duke. He
alone of the four sons had been present
to aid and comfort his mother and the
royal household during the time of this
great and continuing trial.
The princes dashed from the station
and entered the palace by the garden
entrance. which is a private way used
exclusively by members of the royal
family There was no official greet
ing, since Sir Derk Keppel, master Of
the household, and other officials were
waiting at the privy purse door and the
prince avoided them by entering the
other doorway.
At the palace the prince was shown
into the apartments Of the Queen and
he and his mother were left alone to-
gether to give reciprocal comfort under
the still menacing shadow of the ILL
ness. The prince also conferred with
the physicians that have been attend
ing his father. Shortly before midnight
he left the palace with the Duke of
York, accompanying his brother to his
home in Piccadilly, and then the
prince went to his own residence at

TRACTION MERGER
HALTED IN HOUSE
Action on D. C. Street Car
Measure to Await Senate
Committee Report.

The street railway merger bill pend
ing on the House calendar with a
favorable report from the District. COM
mittee will not be called up Tor action
in the House until after the Senate
District committee has made its report,
in the light of the Maltbie and Bureau
of Efficiency reports on merger.
Chairman Zihlman was instructed
today by the House District committee
not to call up the merger bill in the
House until after the Senate had re-
ported, on motion Of Representative
Blanton, Democrat, of Texas, after Mr..
Blanton and Representative Gilbert,
Democrat, of Kentucky had failed in
an effort to get the favorable report
and the bill recalled from the House.
Held an Important Matter"
This matter was brought up by Mr.
Gilbert, who characterized it as the
most important matter before Con-
gress affecting the District of Columbia
"At the last session of Congress
merger was attempted" Mr.. Gilbert ex-
planned, saying that while the people
had argued for it for many years, they
had received little support from the
railway companies. He pointed out that
last year "'the street railway companies
submitted a plan of merger which was
insisted upon and rapid hearings held
and immediate action demanded"
THAT aroused considerable suspicion y
said Mr.. Gilbert. Our one duty is to
see that the people, as well as the street
railway companies, get good trade.
Arguments One Sided, He Says.
"In hearings we heard only those
urging the merger, so that, with little
exception. all of the proof we had was
that which was urging the merger.
Most of the committee had little ex-
perience on the subject. The commit
tee proceeded rapidly and filed a
favorable report. Since then two ex-
haustive Investigations have been made
by diSinterested parties. While they
disagree, they seem to agree on ore
point: That we were wrong. Every dis
interested person seems to be of the
opinion that there are certain things
in the merger bill which should be
corrected"
1T would be embarrassing on the
floor of the House, either in opposing
or advocating the measure, with so lit
tie information" said Mr.. Gilbert, and
he expressed the belief that 1t would
facilitate the merger for the House
District committee to get more informa-
ton from these exhaustive reports.
Committee Hearings Defended.
Representative Mcleod, Republican,
of Michigan, reminded his fellow mem
bers that the House committee had held
extensive hearings before reporting the
bill and had gone into the subject quite
thoroughly He said that the measure
has the support of most of the Citizens
Associations
Mr.. Blanton insisted that the House
committee would be able to put through
a proper merger bill for the benefit OF
the people at this session.
Representative Underhill, Republican
of Massachusetts. expressed the opinion
that there will be no merger legislation
this session.
