EXPERIMENTS SHED
LIGHT ON NERVES
Scientist Tells of Results of
Disconnecting Sympathetic
System of Animals.
BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

Two remarkable biological expert
ments were described at the opening
meeting Of the National Academy Of
Sciences this morning.
Wesley r. Coe of Yale University told
of cutting the bodies of certain worm
like creatures into minute pieces, each
of which became new. living worm
with all its organs intact.
Walter B. Cannon of Harvard Univer-
sity told of disconnecting entirely the
sympathetic nervous system of cats,
dogs and monkeys, the animals remain
ing in perfect health and apparently
capable of nearly all normal functions.
This result IS likely to have far reaching
effects in both neurology and psy-
chology.
Process Is Described.
DR.. Cannon's work involved an ex-
tremely delicate surgical operation by
which all the sympathetic nerve con-
nections extending from both sides OF
the spinal cord were severed. The SYM
pathetic nervous system Is one OF the
two divisions of the nervous system OF
animals. The central nervous system
consists of nerve fibers from the brain
and spinal cord running to the skeletal
muscles, and is the mechanism OF all
mans exterior adaptations to his en-
vironment.
The sympathetic system has its center
| in a ganglion which extends along the
spinal cord from which nerve fibers
| extend to all the viSceral nerve endlngS
in practically every organ of the body
| This system works automatically ano
apparently is designed to regulate the
work of the central nervous system.
| AS an example OF its functions. Dr
Cannon mentioned the release OF In
creased adrenal gland secretions II
time of danger, thus increasing the
| amount of blood sugar, making the
heart beat faster, speeding up the
whole metabolism of the body, anC
putting the animal in fighting con-
dition. It has been held in the pas
that higher animal life would be i'm
possible without this sympathetic
system, since the body mechanism
would not function.
A cat with the sympathetic tibers
severed, he showed, has no erection OF
hair, the amount of blood sugar which
in a normal animal would increase
about 80 per cent increases very slightly
and there is no increase in the hear
beat. Ordinarily when an animal Is
exposed to cold there are three line:

is all done automatically. In the cat

only very violent shivering, resulting
from the action of the central nervous

Under the protected conditions Of th'

mails seem to be perfectly normal. as l

PARIS, April 22.-The final show
down of the reparations conference was
once more delayed this forenoon when
the experts met in plenary session at
the Hotel George v, but almost imme-
diately adjourned until II am. tomor-
row.
Opening of the plenary session was
delayed somewhat while the experts at

tempestuous session with DR.. Hjalmar
Schacht, German spokesman.
Postponement of the formal session
of the conference until tomorrow was
made necessary by the late arrival in
Paris of Dr. Schacht and DR.. Albert
Voegler, from Berlin, where they went
to inform the German cabinet of the
status of the negotiations.
Statement MusteBe Drawn.
Nothing seemed today to be left the
session tomorrow except meeting, prep
aration of the conferences death GER
tificate and adjournment with as few
post-mortems as possible for the pres
ent. Two possible forms appeared fer
this death certificate, with many IA
voring a mere statement to the govern
mentS concerned that the experts had
failed in their mission because OF i'm
possible conditions imposed by one OF
the principal parties. -
Others held that the report of the
committee, while denoting failure,
should not give the idea that it was
final, but should delineate the progress
made in preparing a new framework
for the reparations payments.
This report would point out that the
way was left open to resume negotia-
tions whenever the governments paved
the way by clearing the boards of po-
litical problems and by giving the ex-
perts new. clearer and more categorical
instructions.
This View May Prevail.
It seemed the latter point of view
probably would prevail in order not to
seem to make any single delegation re-
sponsible for breaking up of the con-
ference.
DR.. Schacht came back to Paris to-
day intent, it was believed, upon con-
vincing creditor nation delegates to the
reparation conference that Germany
cannot pay their bill-or anywhere near
it-until her earning capacity is in
creased.
The German spokesman, on leaving
Berlin. where he conferred with. the
cabinet on the status of the Paris nego-
tiations, told interviewers:

SINCLAIR LOSES
SENTENCE APPEAL
Supreme Court Rules He Must
Serve Jail Term Unless
Pardoned. !.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Supreme Court ruled today that
Harry F. Sinclair, unless pardoned,
must serve three months in Jail for re-
fusal to answer questions before the
Senate Teapot Dome committee.
Sinclair had appealed from recent
decision of the court which upheld the
sentence of three months in jail i'm
posed upon him, but the highest court
today refused to reconsider that opinion.
Sinclair's sentence calls for him to
serve the sentence in common jail. +"
1t has been expected that he would be
committed to the District of Columbia
jail, although there has been some
speculation as to whether he might
ne sent to the workhouse at Occoquan.
The appeal from the courts ruling
was made last week and was acted on
with dispatch. Sinclair's lawyers held
that the law under which he was con-
victed and sentenced was unconstitu-
tional. He still has facing him a SEN
tence of six months imprisonment for
contempt of the Supreme Court of the
District of Columbia. This resulted
from the jury shadowing in the cases
against Sinclair and Albert B. Fall
growing out of the Teapot Dome leases.
There has been no indication as to
when Sinclair will be taken in custody
to begin his sentence, the time allotted
by the court having not yet expired.
Whether Sinclair must serve his 30
day sentence for contempt of the Sen
ate at the District jail, or at Occoquan
is question which the Board of Pub
lie Welfare and the Board of Commits
sioners will decide, it was learned today
At one time there were indications
that the matter might be presented tc
the Department of Justice, but it was
decided that it would come within the
jurisdiction of the Board of Public We'll
fare and the Commissioners.
When the decision will be reached
was not known today in official circles
At all events, Sinclair must start
serving his sentence at the jail, it was
said, and the question for decision i;
where he will spend most of his time
Although no definite date has beer
set for the beginning of his sentence
| it was reported unofdcially today BY
District officials that it might be about

DRASTIC NAVAL CUT PLEA
MADE BY u. S. ON BASIS
OF NATIONS FRIENDSHIP
TEXT OF GIBSON SPEECH

Following is the text of the speech by
Hugh S. Gibson, American representa-
tive at the meeting of the Preparatory
Commission for the Disarmament Con-
ference. in Geneva today:
Mr. chairman:
I have sought your permission to
make a general statement OF the views
of nv Government in regard to the
question of disarmament and have felt
warranted in doing so at this stage OF
the proceedings because while we have
not entered upon second reading OF
the draft convention, we are bringing
I'D for reconsideration various questions
which have been previously discussed
It is felt. therefore, that in view of GER
tain changed conditions it may facilitate
the approach to these questions II
am permitted to take this occasion for
stating my Governments views as tc
the means best calculated to promote
an early agreement.
During the first reading of the draft
convention, it was the duty of each one
of us to put forward the views of his
government on the various problems
before the commission and endeavol
to persuade his colleagues that those
views should be adopted. 1t was only
in this way that we were abl to throw
full light upon the complicated ques-
tions, the solution of which we seek.
When we come to the second reading
however, a renewal of the old discus
sionS is no longer in order. Our first
duty is for each one of us to examine
all phases of the problem before us
with view to discovering what meas
ures of concession can be offered by
each delegation. Agreement upon q
single text can be achieved only by O
maximum of such concession.
Problem Is Divided.
For the purposes of my presenta-
ton the disarmament problem may Nbe
divided into two parts, land and nava
ornaments. AS regards land arma-
ments, the American delegation will bt

the arms parley to be translated
into French before he took the
floor to answer it. He said while
he was unable to comment on its
specific proposals and as far as
any general principle was con-
cerned there was nothing in 1t
with which he could not express
agreement.
Lord CuShendun'S views ac-
quired added significance and i'm

The Englishman said the speech
was so important and had such q
close bearing on the entire naval
problem it would profoundly af-
feet the entire work of the Pre-.
paratory Commission on Dis
armament.
He said, indeed, it seemed so impor'
tant he wanted to make one or twt
observations without delay. No one, HI
emphasized, could fail to be struck b.
the friendly, conciliatory and helpful
spirit" He said he wanted to say tina
this was in the same spirit that Grea
Britain desired to approach the com
plicated and difficult question and en-
deavor to arrange any naval points o
dispute.
Refers to Kellogg Pact.
He referred to the Kellogg pact ans
said that he was certainly not disposed
to belittle it since he believed it pro
foundly important to the world outlook
"It has done more to promote tina
security on which disarmament rest
than any other event." he said.
Lord Cushendun then declared tina
both he and his government were II
complete accord with MIR. Gibson ant
that not only limitation, but reduction
narmaments was desired. AlludinI
to the Franco British accord limiting
large-sized cruisers, he explained tina
if in past negotiations Great Britain
had consented to a scheme of reduc
ton which left any class outside, thi
was not because Great Britain did no
have for its ideal reduction in all classes
Rather, he said, it was because she wa
