House Committeeman.

BY the Associated Press.
Prohibition Commissioner James M.
Doran was asked today by the House
expenditures committee to furnish the
names of concerns and the quantity
of Industrial alcohol withdrawn in the

gallons for the past years for the
thirteenth prohibition district be fur
nished the committee.

hearings not to require more than two
days, with the prospect Of the commit
tee reporting the bill Immediately. II
the committee waits 10 days for the
information from Doran the flrst
major proposal to strengthen prohi-
bition enforcement will be delayed at
least a fortnight.
Against Investigation.
The committee also decided that a
general investigation OF the prohibit
ton situation proposed by one men,
Der would not be conducted during

the prohibition enforcement by effect
ing the transfer.

A means of adjusting cottonseed meal
to the human diet is sought as the re-
suit of the accidental discovery Of
vitsmin @ in the meal.
If cottonseed meal could be so uti-
lized, it would add millions of dollars to
the income Of American cotton farmers.
Henry Stevens, Department of Agri-
culture chemist, made the discovery
while feeding cottonseed meal to rats
in protein experiment.
He suddenly realized that rats on a
cottonseed meal diet showed no physi-
cal difference from those whose diet
included the vitamin.
The Importance of vitamin G is its
use in combating pellagra, a disease
peculiar to the South. Stevens work
demonstrates that cottonseed meal
even in the unrefined state, is the only
substance that approximates yeast as a
source of both vitamin G and vita
min B.
Whether cottonseed meal can be
made fit for human consumption de-
ponds on whether chemists find a way
to eliminate the toxic substance in it..
The meal now represents what is
considered the greatest untapped source
of proteinS, some chemists holding that
1t contains all the protein necessary to
the human diet
Even though cottonseed meal COM
monty is used as cattle feed, it has to
be given in moderate amounts because
of the toxic substance which, when
present in large quantities, results in
the production of deformed calves
While nutrition studies have yet to
suggest a possible form in which the
meal could be used as food, they do
not have the handicap of an unSavory
aroma. Unlike cottonseed oil, fresh

Essential characteristics Found

Unchanged During Week.
NEW YORK, July IL (R).-Dun's Re-
view says today:
With demands continuing mainly re-
stricted and price declines still predomi-
mating, the essential characteristics of
the general business situation are un-
altered. No significant change at the
turn of the half year had seemed likely,
however, and the chief interest at pres
ent centers in the prospects for the
period beyond the Summer. The
movements of recent months have not
conformed with the optimistic views
held in some quarters the scope of the
readjustment being wider than had
been commonly anticipated, and there
is more of a disposition now to ap-
praise conditions with clearer recogni-
ton of the actual facts.
Confidence in the longer outlook is
supported by the operation of forces
which are strengthening the basic
structure, and prominent among these
is the persistent trend toward a closer
alignment between production and con-
sumption. AS results of semi-annual
inventors are more fully disclosed, an
encouraging point is found in the rela-
lively moderate stocks of goods In Diff
ferent instances, and the more favor
able. position of supplies Is regarded as
foreshadowing an ultimate resumption
of buying on large scale.

on FATAL BLADE
Portland Authorities Find
Reason to Doubt Suicide of
Mrs. Nelson c. BoWIeS.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PORTLAND, Greg, November IA
Authorities sought today to identify a
f1ngerprint on the serrated blade of
the breadknife, which Wednesday
caused the death of Mrs Nelson G.
Bowles, 49, Portland society matron.
The lone fingerprint was discovered
yesterday. Police said it was located
Immediately below the handle of the
knife and expressed the opinion it
had been left by the little finger of
a hand which grasped the handle
tightly. They doubted it could have
been left by person who merely had
picked up the knife.
The fatal wound was inflicted in
the apartment of Mrs. Irma LouckS
Paris, rs, former secretary to Mrs.
Bowles' husband, while Bowles and
Mrs. Paris were present. The tragedy
preceded a discussion of Bowles' al
legged friendship with his former sec
rotary Bowles tcld police his wife
stabbed herself while in the apartment
kitchen to get a drink Police refused
to accept the case as one of suicide
without an investigation. Friends and
relatives of Mrs Bowles said they did
not believe she died by her own hand.
Police were handicapped in their In
vestigation of the case, they said, be-
cause the body had been removed to
a mortuary and the apartment cleaned
before they were notified.

Corn-Stalk Poisoning of Stock Is
Thought by Veterinarians to

HERRIN, ILL.,, November IA new
disease, apparently caused by fodder, but
as yet unnamed, has brought death OF
more than 100 horses and mules in
Southern Illinois, and veterinarians and
county agricultural agents are warning
farmers to guard their horse stock.
DR.. w. H. WEIGH, chief veterinarian
in the Illinois Department of Agricul-
ture, in warning, points out that for
age, or corn-stalk poisoning, is unusually
prevalent this season ana urges farmers
to muzzle horses and mules used in har-
veSting corn and to keep live stock from
grazing in the stock fields. There is no
treatment for most cases, DR.. WEIGH
said, although serum developed at the
University of Illinois is good in certain
limited cases.
More than 100 horses and mules have
died from the disease in the Herrin
region, DR.. T. M. Treece, veterinarian,
said yesterday, and reports from Benton
are that more than a score of the ami
mails have died there the last few weeks
from such poisoning. The drought is
thought to have caused a condition in

Imaginative Police
Adventures Found
In Midst of Flames
Inventor of SituatiOnsM May
Be Victim of His Own
Ingenuity.
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, November lathe Baron
Munchausen of the Chicago police
force. Eldridge Curran, has had new
adventure--and it may be real. He al
ways has escaped harm, but this time
he got hurt in a mysterious fire.
He was found apparently unconscious
and painfully burned in the bed room
of his apartment.
Several years ago Curran fired few
shots in the County Building and told
investigators he was the target of as
sassins who mistook him for the States
attorney. A 12-hour search by 100
policemen in the underground tunnels
of the Loop ended when he admitted
the story was imaginative.
A few months later he reported he
was ambushed in police car, but it
developed he had fired his own pistol
at the automobile.
Again he was found seemingly I'M
conscious on an elevated platform in
mid-Winter.
Not long ago he seized a boy, beat
him, fired at a supposed companion
after an alleged robbery attempt, and
locked the boy up.
The youth testified that Curran leaped
on him without provocation, and was
freed.
Firemen have started an investigation
of yesterdays incident
