HOPES TO BEAT
 DEATH; CLAIMS
 h2E PRESENTED
Belief in Inevitable End Is Challenged by French
 Scientist

BOSTON, Mass, Aug. 23.-A challenge to the belief that Death is inevitable was laid before Scien- tists of the International Physio- logical Congress today, by Eusidio Hernandez, of the College of France at Paris.
 Proof exists, he said, that death is not so unacceptable as fatalists are taught. Psychologists possess evil dence to the contrary based on the keeping of single organs alive after deaths of other parts of the body. These were made in 1922 when Prof. J. P Neymans preserved life of an isolated head for three hours.
 Recently similar experiments were conducted in Russia. A human heart was kept alive 30 hours by Prof. A. Koubliabko.
 Others have been able to reestab- fish general circulation.
 Hernandez asked the Congress for the formation of a world wide study as means to prevent the phe- nomena of death.

crime, in behalf of the man whom the state courts held was responsi- ble for the death of l8-year -old Beatrice Epler of Alma, Mich, is interesting.
 Eichorn stands near the thresh- old of freedom because of the un- usual interest displayed by Ham, mond. who was neither friend nor acquaintance at the time Eichorn was convicted of first degree mur- der. Impelled by a belief in the doomed mans story of his inno- cence Hammond used his own funds, and later enlisted the aid of friends to obtain standardization of the mans claim of innocence.
 He now believes this has been gained through an affidavit from Mrs. Anna Gilson Mimnaugh of Kenosha, Wis. in which she ad- mits she perjured herself when tes- tifying against Eichorn as the star witness of the prosecution.

 MADE ON SENATE TARIFF MEASURE
Senator Borah and Senator McKellar Issue State
 ments on Bill

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-Com plction of the work of revising the House tariff by the Senate Finance Committee Republicans was the signal for another attack on the new measure by the Democrats and Republican Independents.

 Senator McKellar, Democrat of Tennessee, said: Whether you take the House Bill or the Senate Bill it is general tariff revision and in no sense limited as requested by President Hoover"
 A meeting of the full committee to report the measure to the Sen ate is called for on the morning of September 4, the day set for open ing of the floor debate.

LANSING. Mich. Aug. 23.-A hu.- manitarian interest displayed by a Lansing lumberman in a lifer's story of being the victim of in- justice, may bear fruit after Il years pursuit of the truth.
 And Albert Eichorn hopes that the harvest gained from the unre- lenting efforts of Elmer w. Ham mond to ascertain the truth may mean his freedom from a life cell in the state prison at Marquette, Mich.
 The story of Albert Eichorn, for mer wealthy Michigan farmer sen fenced II years ago to life inn prisonment for murder, is not new. It has it's counterpart in many others that the world has viewed with well-founded skepticism.

CHRISTIANITY
 OF BISHOP IS
 LIE AND CURSE
Dr. James Empringham Scores Manning, Asks Re-
 lief from Holy Orders

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-Asserting that Christianity, as interpreted by Bishop William T. Manning, of the Episcopal Diocese of New York. was lie and curse to humanity, Rev. James Empringham has asked the Bishop, in an open letter made public today, to relieve him of his Holy Orders which he has resigned and renounced.
 Dr. Empringham. who IS National Secretary Of the Church Temper ance Society, said he had lost his faith fifteen years ago and he saw no probability of regaining it.
 Among other things he criticised the Bishop severely for his stand against divorce and remarriage.
 Dr. Empringham was recently di- vorced and married again.
 Letter Mailed
 Copies of the letter were sent to New York from California where Dr. Empringham said he went to live because of serious heart trouble and not as published statement charged, to avoid payment of rent of premises he rented for his Health and Education Society, which was closed by the Board of Health.
 Prohibition Opponent
 He resigned the pastorate of St. Paul's, Syracuse, several years ago, and went into temperance work becoming in time an opponent of Prohibition.
 Dr. Empringham said the charges he practiced medicine without @ license in his Health and Education Society, were not true and were fostered by a discharged employe.
 In a postscript, he asserted that blackmailers had demanded money from him.

 It consists of mammoth living rcom-45x17 feet-with an 18-foot vaulted ceiling; two promenades, one 39 feet long, and the other 22, and an attractive, airy little room labeled vault" in the floor plan, but which, as was pointed out, would make a perfect bar. There is a big fireplace in the drawing room, and a smaller one in one of the promenades.
