BERLIN RIOT
VICTIM
By OTTO D. TOLIsCHUs

BERLIN, May 4 Q.N.So.-IWenty'
four persons, including Charles
Mackay. a newspaper correspondent
and a British subject, have been
killed in the violent rioting which
began May Day and continued early
today.
A number of women are among
the dead.
More than $50 persons have been
wounded. Some of them are in
hospitals at deaths door.
The state of siege which was pro-
claimed by the police in the Neuk-
ceIln and Wedding districts was
lifted at a. m. Barbed wire en-
tanglements and barricades which
had been erected in the streets were
removed. Desultory sniping con-
tinued throughout the night.
MacKay. %ho formerly lived in
Nelson, New Zealand, was shot
through the head and killed while
watching the police mopping up
Communist snipers in the Neukcelln
district.
Police officials said they were in
doubt whether Mackay had been
shot by the police or by a Com
munist sniper, because the weapons
used by the Reds were often iden-
tical with the police weapons.
Under the state of siege the po-
lice hailed a person only once and
then shot If he failed to halt.
According to the police records
MacKay, who was 81 years old,
represented the Waitara Daily
News of New Zealand.
Paul Waymar, a reporter for the
newspaper Vossische Zeitung, was
shot in the leg.
George Lueppke, German news
paper correspondent, narrowly es-
capped death by throwing himself to,
the ground when a police machine
gun raked his automobile with fire
in the darkness.
The death toll in the fighting yes
terday and last night was estimated
at 10, including four women. This
brought the total of dead in 72 hours
fighting at 10 men and 5 women. or
"a in all.
Gne hundred and fifteen persons
are in hospitals. Those lightly
wounded were treated in their
homes. Thirty-six policemen were

Rye Cove, Va, district, had told
them there were II identified dead,

of the injured persons are in the
hospital at Bristol Tenn, and five
are in the Kingsport. Tenn, Hos

of those in the hospitals was not

of the cases are serious.

LEAGUE ADOPTS
GIBSON ARMS
PROPOSAL

GENEVA, May 4 1,N.s).-The
Franco. American resolution for linn
itins war mater through the
publicity of government budgets was
adopted today by the League of Ma
tions preparatory disarmament COM
mission. Twenty-Five nations voted
for the resolution while China and
Soviet Russia voted against it. Ger
many did not vote.
This method of limiting war sup
plies was proposed by Hugh Gibson
of the United States, and was ap'
proved by the French. Those sup
porting the resolution regarded 1t in
q light of a compromise between
tn groups seeking direct" and
''indi ot'' limitation of war supplies
held by the various nations. 1t is
n int -ined that publicity will auto
matically cause the big powers TO
hold their war-making machinery
within reasonable limits because OF
the obvious desire o the peoples
throughout the world for peace and
for lower taxation.
President Hoover has become
somewhat irritated over the efforts
made by old world powers at the
Geneva Conference to misrepresent
the American position on the whole
broad question of disarmament.
Ambassador Hugh S. Gibson has
been instructed to make the position
of the United States so clear at
Geneva that there can be no posi-
bility of doubt concerning it.
That position, briefly, is:
The United States is ready to
consummate an agreement with the
worlds naval powers, which will
not only limit naval strength but
actually reduce 1t below existing
standards, the only proviso beins
that any program will call for
parity for the United States Navy
with any in the world.
The United States considers that
land armament (standing armies) is
more a subject of European con
Germ than American.
The United States has, neverthe
less, not changed its view thai

Hoover Facing Defeat
In Farm Relief Vote

Alarmed by an amazing change
Of farm relief sentiment, admins.
tration leaders in the Senate today
were fighting to save President
Hoover from defeat in his first
test with the new Congress.
A decisive vote on the export de.
benture plan has been postponed
until next week, due to sudden
and unexpected trend of opposition
toward the President The revolt
has spread through the entire
Insurgent bloc, dribbled into the
ranks of regular Republicans and
won over nearly all the Democratic
side of the Senate.
The Norris amendment was held
responsible for the change of senti-
ment. Under it's terms, the rebate
or bounty paid farmers under the
debenture plan would be reduced If
the surplus in any crop increased
from year to year.

Munich. June II f(R1The recent time of haemin. the principal con stituent of red color in blood, has stirred medical circles in Germany with hope for future accomplish ment.
 Haemin carries iron to the tissues. It also carries the indispensable oXy- gen, without which higher: organ isms cannot live. It is one of the most import>"t of all clements in animal vitality. .A The synthesis was achieved after 17 years of endeavor by Dr. Hans Fischer, professor of" chemistry at the Munich polytechnic, While for

the moment the discovery is con- sidered of purely theoretical value. Professor Fischer and many other German scientists see in the means of enlightment on the chemical com- position of haemiR.
 Many believe that Fischer's syn thesis may pave the way to determ- ming remedy or cure for anemia and for carbon monoxide poisoning. Anemia is caused by a diminution of haemin in the red blood corpuscles. The gas poisoning is caused by car bonic acid gas entering the blood. There. because 1t has 8 greater af- finity for haemin than has oxygen. it displaces and prevents the nor mai process of oxygen use.
 For some time non-synthetic haemin has been made in factories from OK blood, but the value of the chemically made product is it's greater purity. Knowledge of exactly all the substances composing the synthetic article is highly suited for 1 the precise measurements required in the delicate tests whereby human uses are sought.
 In his successful synthesis. Pro- lessor Fischer first split a molecule of haemoglobin into a colorless al- bumen, called globin, and an iron- carrying haemin. The globin contin- ues to be comparatively unknown substance, but the haemin can be resolved into .svatious chemical groups known as porphyrins.
 Fischer and his assistant found various synthetic methods for mak- ing such of the porphyrins as are most closely allied to haemin. Then they produced a deutero- -porphyrin to which acetyl was added. Acetyl Is chemical of the alcohol group. After the acetyl step the desired
 haemin ultimately was derived.

DOUBTS EXISTENCE /. 0F SMALLEST UNIT
Physicist Thinks NGtrons Are
 Only Points in Space

New York, June II R-The elec- tron, the theoretical smallest unit of matter, is in danger of being wiped out by a remarkable mathematical analysis by Dr. A. s. Eddington of the University of Cambridge.
 His work is explained by Dr. H. H. Sheldon, head of the department of physics, New York university, who says: %
 "Electrons are believed to be the ultimate particles of matter. atops being composed of electrons which are negative charges of electricity combined with protons. which are positive charges Some of the cleo trons revolye around the proton and are responsible for the chemical properties of the atom.
 ''The amount of electricity in an electron or, as it is termed, the charge on the electron. thus is one of the most fundamental constants in nature. This charge has been de- termined experimentally. its deter imitation being one of the most mo- table achievements of the work of Dr. Robert MillMan of Pasadena Cal. who received the Nobel prize for this work.
 Now, Dr. A. z. Eddington, one of the worlds foremost mathemati- clans. suggests that the electron may not have any real existence at all and that its so-called charge can be calculated from purely geometri- cal considerations. He points out that we know nothing about an iso- lated electronic charge and that in all cases where measurements can be made two electrons are repelling each other.
