Dead Man Brought
Back to Life; Tests,
TooChastly, Halted
Scientists Report Restora-
ton of Heart and
Lung Action.
BY WILLIAM BIRD.

By Radio to The Star.
PARIS, November 26.-Scientific ex-
perimentS that cast weird light on
the problem of life and death have
recently been performed in Moscow, ac-
cording to information obtained from
the Soviet embassy here today. j..
It is revealed that Russian scientists
have perhaps come closer than any
others to penetrating the mystery of
death and therefore to finding remedies
against 1t.
Experiments Successful.
Previously, Prof. Kravkov had kept
a rabbits ear alive in a salt solution.
Thereupon, it was proposed to do the
same thing with heart and expert
ments were undertaken which met with
complete success.
Prof. Kulabl.o, with the aid of specially
constructed apparatus, first succeeded
in making the heart beat in dead cat.
Subsequently. the same savant re-
stored heart beats to the body of a
child who had been pronounced dead
The most extraordinary experiments,
however, were conducted bv Prof. An
dreyev, according to Soviet embassy
officials. He first took dead dog and
by injecting special solution into Its
cartoid artery not only brought normal
pulsations back to the heart but actu-
ally revived respiration In the lungs
Encouraged by this success, Prof. An
dreyev next experimental on human
corpse Similar results were obtained.
The heart began beating and the lungs
functioned.
Effect Is CHASTITY.
"a kind of death rattle came from
the corpse's throat" Prof Andreyev re-
ported. 1.-THE effect was so ghastly that
did not dare continue the expert
mentS."
Other results of Soviet scientists ex-
periments. received through unofficial
sources here, tell of dogs body being
made to breathe after decapitation, and
of dogs head being made to function
after 1t had been severed. 1t is said
also that Soviet experimenters have been
able to awaken signs Of life In de-
capitated human corpse.
Revolving as such experiments may
be to the lay mind, scientists here be-
lieve they may have capital Importance
in solving the riddle of life, and ex-
planning away many hitherto mysterious
biological problems.

by Lne ASSOClaCe0 FEeSS.
An unexpected adjournment of the
Interstate Commerce Commission hear
ings on the Chesapeake & Ohio Rail-
roads application to complete its pur-
chase of control of the Pere Marquette

for the Chesapeake g. Ohio, introduced
large volume of statistical data, and
Henry w. Anderson. attorney for MINOR
ity stockholders opposing the G. & 0.
program, obtained days time to study
the exhibit. Proceedings will resume
tomorrow.
A new element in the long fight OF
the Chesapeake g. Ohio to extend its
lines by purchase Of other railroads was
thrown into the case before adjourn
ment today when several Government
and business organizations obtained
permission to intervene as supporters
of the railroads application. The
Public Service Commission of West Viz
ginia, the Charleston, w. Va, Chamber
of commerce, the Logan Coal opera
tors Association of the same State, the
Virginia Citizens Committee and a
citizens committee of Richmond. Va,
were included among the intervenors.
While the present move OF the Chesa-
peake g. Ohio Railroad represents one
phase of the operations headed by o. r.
and M. J. Van Sweringen of Cleveland
to consolidate trunk line railroads, only
details of the pending project are in
volved. The Chesapeake & Ohio now
holds authority from the commission
to buy control of the Pere Marquette,
but is seeking specific permission to pay
$13333 per share for large block of
Pere Marquette stock now owned by
the Nickel Plate railroad.
In addition, the C. g. o. is asking
the commission to allow it to finance
the Pere Marquette stock purchase by
issuing new stock of its own to its
present stockholders at $100 per share,
instead of issuing such new stock at
S150 per share as the commission di-
rected in its first decision.
