IS AN EXPERIMENT

NEW YORK, March 13-An Arctic explorer, taking life easy in Bellevue Hospital ward, is offering himself for a laboratory experiment on the value of fresh meat as diet for men whose ca reers make them subject to seurvy.
 Vilhjalmur Stefansson has dem onstrated to his own satisfaction that the flesh of newly killed ani- mals. eaten raw or underdoae, will prevent and cure this disease, which has taken heavy toll among generations of explorers, sailor and soldiers. To test his< conclu sions under laboratory conditions however, Stefansson entered tn, hospital with the intention of liv. ing on meat and submitting him self to frequent examinations by physicians.
 2 The value of fresh vegetables in making pen immune to scurvy has been frecognized for some time, With the result that tht disease has virtually disappeared from the sea and from the mili tary camp. Polar explorers find 1t impossible to carry large sup plies of such foods, and Stefans. son several years ago was led to experiment with fresh caribou meat. He reported several cures among members of his expedi. tions to the far north.
 For years the cause of seurvy

 COM. HEARING
Tells oreAAbout Package Containing $25 900 {
 in Bonds

WASHINGTON, March 13-Wi' liam Butler. Chairman of the Re. publican National Committee, tes. tified at the Senate investigation today that Will H. Hays met hiHi late in 1923 in New York and at. tempted to have him accept Il package which Butler said he was told contained $25,OO0 in bonds.
 Butler testified that he turne l the proposition down flatly and further said Hays asked him 10 give the $25,000 contribution to- ward wiping out the 1920 de- ficit, but Hays did not disclose from whom the bonds came from.
 Butler said the package was not opened and Hays took 1t away with him.
 Hays testified that he sought to have Secretary of Treasury Mellon and Butler accept the bonds from him to contribute to- ward wiping out the Republican National Committees 1920 de ficit.
 Secretary of Treasury Mellon had told the Senate Investigating Committee that he knew the bonds offered had come from Harry r. Sinclair after his lease of Teapot Dome.
 Butler further testified that when Hays approached him he did not disclose the bonds had come from Sinclair.
 Asked why he had not disclosed the transaction with Mellon and Butler in testifyihg before the committee on March 1, Hays in sisted the information was irrey- elent.
 Last Saturday. Mellon informed the Senatorial Teapot Dome Com mittee that he received $50,0Do of the $260000 worth of Liber.y bonds which Harry Sinclair, ciI magnate, advanced to cover part of the deficit of the Republican national committee in 1923.
 The secretary, however. said he refused to retain the bonds in exchange for a like contribution to the political campaign. He disclosed that the bonds had been sent to him by Will Hays, at that time chairman of the committee. and that when Hays subsequently, called upon him to explain the purpose of having sent the bonds, he Immediately declined to keep them as sug- gested
 He added that he returned the bonds to Hays and soon after ward made contribution to the fund in the same amount, but from his own fortune.
 This amount, he declared. was what he had intended to giv. when first asked to contribute to the fund which was being raised to clean up the Republican deficit He also informed the senate com mittee that this was the only con-

Taro Days Of Each eek Is Predicted

NEW YORK, March 13. Prediction by John J. Raskob, Chairman of the Finance Committee of Gem eral Motors, that eventually every vol kingman will have two days holiday each week has aroused general interest because Raskob has a repu- tation among associates of having rather uncanny fore sight and has helped make so millionaires. Electricity, coupled with the great in- yentive skill of man will eventually bring the two holiday week about, he said. In. most cases this will be Saturday and Sunday but probably it will not be advisable to have all holi- days over the week end.

 Assails Hoover
 Representative Brand assailed Hoover and predicted he will be routed in the April 24 voting in Ohio. He said opposition to Will lis, was especially from vets, who flocked to Hoover as soon as he came to Ohio as candi- date. Those who are opposed to Willis are not satisfied with Hoover and are looking around, beginning to see what the nom- ination of Dawes or Lowden might be achieved by voting for Willis and would surely be de- feated by voting for Hoover.
 Questions Republicanism
