M'MANUS HEARING DELAYED A HOURS
Sick Juror Excused, New Man
 to Be Chosen

Criminal Courts Building, New . York, Nov. 25 R-The trial of George McManus for the murder of Arnold Rothstein resumed today, but was immediately adjourned un- Jill tomorrow, because of the lack Illness of q juror.
 Too III to Continue Judge Charles C. Mott. Jr., an Aounced that the missing juror Eugene Riker, had been declared by a doctor to be incapable of coutinu- ln3 and that he therefore had been excused
 T regret very much that his de- lay has occurred" Judge Nott said but since the legislature of this state has several times seen fit not to pass a law providing for an al- tcrnate juror, we have no other re- course except to adjourn and select another juror.
 This is a very good example of what delay could be obviated by '''' III Q HuNii h Jul pi' HIS tlitIl could have proceeded with only a 10 minutes delay"
 In several states thirteenth juror is selected and sits as d regu- lar juror, but has no hand in the verdict. In case a juror is excused for any reason, however, he takes the vacant place in the jury box and sits as a regular juror.
 A special panel of 50 talesmcn has been called for tomorrow morning.
 A mistrial will be declared when court opens but new one i'm mediately started.
 Both sides will accept the Ii jurors already in the box and then will turn to examination of the 50 laleSmen.
 From them it is hoped to select juror 10 take Riller's place.
 Testimony to Be Read
 The testimony so far taken then Will be read to the full jury. This comprises two days of testimo ony, but both defense and state were confident that the selection of a juror and the reading of this tes- tlmony would be concluded tomor- row and the taking of new teSti- mony begun Wednesday morning.
 Judge Nott said he would continue tomorroW's session beyond the regular adjournment hour of D. m, if it appeared that the reading of the transcript could be con- pleted within reasonable time, that is by 6 or p. m.
 Both state and defense are allow cd one peremptory challenge in questioning talesmen and selecting the new juror.
 Judge Mott said k lcr's condi- lion had been diagnosed as extreme nerve strain and "an eminent phy- Sician" had stated that if he were required 10 sit as a juror, it was a distinct probability that he would suffer a nervous breakdown.
 Eillcr is young. baldheaded salesman, the second juror selected last Monday. He is married and the father of two children. Riker is the third juror excused in the case so far.
 Two More Excused
 Mark H. Simmons, juror No. 1. was excused the same da., because of stomach ulcers and William Belknap was excused the third day of the trial because of too close an acquaintanceship witl members of the district attorneys office.
 The trial opened week a"o to- day and was adjour Q Friday over the week end.

MARKET REACTS IN

Losses Recovered in Many h.
 StanCeS-NeWS Favorable

New York. Nov. "5 LPj-Stock prices showed distinctly reaction ary tendency today as five hour scs- Sions were resumed. Prices on many leading stocks broke to nearly r points during the morning. but brisk recoveries took place in many cases when it became apparent that the decline was not causing any cNtens- i've liquidation of either investment or speculative holdings. Trading was relatively dull, with the ticker keep ing fairly well abreast of the mar ket.
 Call money renewed unchanged at 4je per cent but the rate was again shaded in the outside market An easy undertonc developed in other monetary markets. Business news greatly was favorable. Wall street was pleased at the response to Pres idcnt lIooyer's efforts to stimulate business. and to reports that pre- holiday trade in the New York de- partmcnt stores was in large vol tune.
 Early selling was believed 10 rep resent profit taking by traders who had accumulated stocks in the carly stages of last weeks advance. and showed a disposition to take their profits hefore the beginning of the four day holiday this week. Some experimental short selling 10 test the character of the bids in the market also was in evidence. but with the stock exchange still demanding daily statements of short positions from it's mergers. such selling was rather cautious in character.
 Copper sold Considerably

BY the Associated Press.

DALLAS, Tex, May 2.-Texas weather
moderated today after disturbances IN
almost every section of the State.
Northern points were whipped by
68-nlile gale yesterday and a series
of minor tornadoes swept about the
Arkansas line. Snow, hail, sleet and
rain fell generally in the Panhandle.
Several colored farm hands were re-
ported injured in Smith County by
tornado.
Street car service in Dallas was in
terrupted when the metal roof OF a
downtown automobile parking station
was hurtled through the air to smash
down power and telephone lines. Win
dows were blown in, signs, papers and
sand filled the air, and small sheds
were RACED.
Berger reported a half hour of snow
and intermittent showers. Amarillo
was hit by gusts of sleet, slight rains
and a bitter north wind.
Reports said Athens, Henderson,
Malakoff and Franston were hit by

TOOLSTO GAUGE POWER OF GERM
KILLING DROPS SHOWN CHEMISTS
Newly Formulated Rules Give Hope of
Short Cuts to Cures by Staying
Bacteria Internally.

HE may use the rules" said DR.
Kamm, "as. a. means of plotting a field
to locate a desirable region in which
to search for compounds that might
have practical medicinal value. He may
find something not previously made.
The Important parts is that as yet
we have made very little progress in de-
stroying bacteria within ne BODY. We
have means Of destroying them in test
tubes and in cultures outside the body,
but these methods often. are not eff
fective upon a patient.
1.-The hope in the field of medical
chemistry is to find a specific germicide
for each one of the bacterial diseases,
such as scarlet fever, measles and Septi-
cemia. For such ills We now have
serums, but as yet no chemical agents
that will end the infection. We really
depend upon nature to develop its own
cure.
THE hope of the research worker Is
to locate the exceptional compound
that will destroy the disease-producing
bacteria and yet have only a slightl.'
deleterioC5 effect upon the tissues of
the host.
The task ahead is a big one, but
even though it requires several hundred
years. believe we shall succeed so that
some day. for example, when a child
comes down with an acute infection, a
drug can be administered that will cure
quickly and completely by killing the
bacteria"

LONDON, May 1.-THE Daily Express
| today quoted Miss Tallulah Bankhead,
actress, as saying she still loved Count
Anthony de Bosdart. Cancellation by
mutual consent of their four -month-old
engagement has been announced.
TONY is a perfect darling" Miss
Bankhead told the Express. IT adore
him and honestly believe he adores
me. We have no quarrelS, but we real
lied things had become impossible be-
cause he has his work and l have mine.
We have been separated SO much, and
when lovers are separated things are
not the same"
Miss Bankhead admitted she had
been annoyed by people gossiping and
predicting that they would not be mar
ried. Until recently we had every in
tention of marrying. I was all the more
| determined to go through with it be-
cause people were saying we were not
suited ! was not in love with him at
first, but I did fall in love with him

Count de Bosdart was engaged to
Enid Stamp Taylor, actress, in 1926,
but the engagement was broken. His
marriage to Josephine Fish of Chicago
last year was subsequently, annulled.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 2.-The
chemists hope of a short cut to curing
disease by finding chemicals that may
be taken internally to kill bacteria
without injuring the patient was given
a new slant at the American Chemical
Society today.
It was in a set of new formulated
rules that show how to calculate ac-
curately the toxic and the germ-killing
powers of thousands of germicidal COM
pounds. The rules are set of tools
which shorten somewhat the staggering
task of men. who search through fields
of test tubes for the now unknown
compounds that may be effective.
The rules were presented by DR.. Oil
yer Kamm of Parke, Davis g. Co. of
Detroit, and his assistant, A. l.. Raw
Inns. There are seven of them, all in
volving chemical formulas, affecting
alcohols and phenols. The phenolS are
a group of compounds of which car
bolic acid is familiar example. Dr.
Kamm said that thousands of alcohols
and phenolS exist. or may be produced,
each one capable OF killing bacteria
Their lethal range runs from extremely
mild effects up to a power miuliolied
hundreds of times.
BY use of the seven formulas chem
ist can take phenol as a basis of CAL
culation and find out the germicidal
effect of any other phenol or even of
the various types of alcohol.
