Medical Opinions.

Bg United Press
ATLANTA, Ca, Jan. 18.-The
hope of George Harsh, young Ogle-
thorpe university student, to escape
the electric chair for the murder of
two men killed during robberies to-
day hung on the slim thread of the
testimony of medical men. The case
has Sinmered down to a difference
of opinion in medical minds as to
the alleged thrill slayer'S sanity.
On the side of the defense, stand
ten physicians, each of whom has
testified under oath they believe
Harsh insane.
For the prosecution, three medical
men have given their word they be-
heved Harsh completely normal
Today may see more of the same
mind on the stand.
Give SubnormaI Evidence
Thursdays testimony ended with
neither side carrying an advantage.
The states contention that Harsh
and his friend Galllogly, alleged
driver of the auto Harsh is said to
have used in the holdups, COM
mitted the robberies because they
needed the money. Mrs. j. S. Discs
way, sister of the accused, told The
jury she had furnished money free
ly to her brother while he was at
school.
Half dozen instances which may
have caused the boy Marsh to be
subnornal have been presented by
the defense lawyers.
In addition to the picture of a
yougster holding over a dual person
atty from juvenile case of in

numerous physical deformities
tending to show insanity, the attor-

But though we are apt to forget
these trials of actors in the ordinary
length play, the enormous feat of
the players in Strange Interlude"
at EngliSh'S opera house, three days
Thursday, Friday and Saturday
Jan. 31-Feb. 1-2, of having memo
rized roles reaching through nine
acts and over four and a half hours
time, can not help but elicit our
admiration.
Miss Pauline Lords part in
Strange Interlude" is one of the
longest ever written, totalling 210
speeches, and many of them quite
long, to express the inner thoughts
of her role as well as the regularly
voiced speeches. She said she was
"tired enough to go to pieces" when
the play finally opened, but its swift
succesS-a well-known tonic to any
trouper-"made everything sudden
ly easy"
Miss Lord was unable to account,
in the rehearSals of Strange Inter
lude," why her mind and the minds
of all the other players suddenly
went dead after learning the first
five acts.
But then she discovered it was
because the first five acts are the
length of an ordinary play. SO tired
did the players become that it
seemed they couldn't go on through
the other four acts that follow the
dinner intermission, which are even
longer and more emotionally ex-
hauSting.
Miss Lord remembers waking up
at night and going over lines she
already knew, though she realized
it wasn't getting her anywhere.

THREE TRAINS
CRASH IN FOG;
FIVE ARE DEAD
Flyer Piles Up in Wreck
After Passenger SmaSheS
Into Freight.

BIZ United Press
ABERDEEN, Md. Jan. 49,
Wrecking crews worked hastily to-
day TO clear away debris left by a
double train wreck in which five
Pennsylvania trainmen we're killed
and one more seriously scalded by
steam.
The wreck occurred Thursday
night two miles south of here when
a north-bound passenger train
crashed into the rear end of a
freight train moving onto siding.
Hardly had the reverberation Of
the first collision been silenced
when a third train, southbound
passenger train, plowed into the
wreckage Of the freight, tossed onto
the southbound right Of way by the
first crash. Those killed were: K.
A. Klein, brakeman of the freight
train; w. w. Stewart, freight train
flsgman. A. G. Terhune, engineer
of the southbound passenger train;
T. J. Kavanaugh, fireman of the
Southbound passenger train. Leon
Sweetin, engineer on the north
bound passenger train died in the
hospital John Lee, his fireman, is
in the same hospital badly Scalded.
Passengers Escape
None Of the passengers were
seriously injured. Many were
slightly cut or bruised when tossed
about in the swaying coaches.
pennsylvania road officials have
not yet issued an official statement,
but it was believed Thursday night
that at least part of the wreck
might have been caused by failure
OF Terhune to see a signal set
against him, because of the heavy
fog. Maryland at this point was
covered with a dense fogbank of
moisture, and it was supposed that
hsa much to do with the accident.
As soon as was possible relief
trains were organized and pas
sengers taken into Washington and
Baltimore. The Washington train
arrived some time after the regular
southbound train was due. Among
those vino we're aboard were Rep
resentative Wallace Dempsey, of the
fortieth district of New York and
Washington people.
i Coaches Stay on Track
MiracuIously, the coaches were
not uncoupled and all but the first
stayed on the rails. 1t was this
happening, combined with the fact
the coaches of the north-bound pas
senger train were tossed in the OPP
posite direction to the south-bound
right-of- that expi3ins the for
tunate and unexpected escape Of all
passengers.
Wrecking crews worked hastily to-
day to restore train service on a
normal basis BY a. m. the north
bound tracks had been cleared and
regular service was resumed.
South-bound service may not be
restored until late today. Two hun
dred laborerS were rushing work on
replacing one-quarter of a mile OF
track torn up by the wreck.
Workers succeeded in recovering
the body of Terhune, engineer OF
the flyer, from under the locomo-
tive shortly after day break. Acety-
lene touches were used to cut
through tons of iron under which
Terhune was pinned.

Influenza Much
Milder This Year
Than In 1918
But Vicks Laboratories Again OPP
Grating Night and Day to Supply
Record Making Demand.

Although the type of flu this year
is not so serious as in 1918, health
authorities are urging everybody to
treat even the slightest cold at the
start, as colds lower the resistance
and make the body an easy prey to
bronchitis or pneumonia.
An interesting response to this
warning has been the phenomenal
call for Vicks VapoRub, the exter-
nal treatment which proved so help
full in the 1918 epidemic.
In spite of vastly increased ca
pacity, the Vicks laboratories are
once more operating all night long
and are now producing $4,000 jars
daily. A substantial part of this
increase is attributed to the wide
spread use of Vicks as preven-
tive.-Advertisement.

Tenders Resignation to Take
Position as Agent for
Steamship Company.
ASKS TO BE RELIEVED
OF DUTY ON MAY 81
Important Matters Now Pending
Can Be Cleaned Up by Then,
He Believes.

John W. Childress has resigned as a
member OF the Public Utilities Commits
sion to accept an important position
with the newly created United States
Lines, Inc, it was learned today at the
White House. He Is chairman Of the
commission.
The resignation was sent to President
Hoover late yesterday and in it Mr..
ChildresS asked to be relieved OF his
official duties May 81.
Il beg TO tender you herewith my
resignation as member Of the Public
Utilities Commission Of the District Of
Columbia" Mr.. Childress wrote Presi-
dent Hoover.
Action Is Surprise.
"There are certain matters of inn
portance now pending before this COM
mission which require my personal at
tention. I believe, however, that such
matters can be cleared up by May 81,
1929, at which time I would like to be
relieved of my official duties, II 1t Is
agreeable to you"
Mr.. Childress' resignation came as a
distinct surprise in public utilities cir
cles, and will result in an almost COM
plete disorganization of the Public Utili-
ties Commission unless President Hoo
yer appoints a successor to him or Col.
Harrison Brand, jr., before May 81. The
vacancy caused by the failure of the
Senate to confirm former President
Coolidge's nomination Of Col Brand left
the commission with only two members,
and it will not be able to function le-
gally after Mr.. ChildresS leaves unless
one of the posts is filled.
Term Expires June 80.
Mr.. Childress is the first and only
chairman the new commission has had
since its creation more than two years
ago. His present term expires June 80,
but 1t was believed in public utility cir
cles that he may have been reap
pointed.
