MERCY SHOWN
TRAITORS ACT
OF CONFIDENCE
Soviet Masses Expected to
BE Satisfied Without
Death Penalty.
BY EUGENE LYONS
United Press stan Correspondent


MOSCOW, Dec. 9.-The commu-
tation of sentences in the counter
revolutionary trial was explained
today by the Soviet press as a
manifestation of Soviet economic
and political confidence.
It remained difficult to judge how
the millions who had clamored for
the heads Of the traitors" would
receive the news of the commute
tons.
First indications we're that the
masses would greet the granting OF
mercy to five prominent professors
sentenced to death-and three Of
their comrades given ten-year
prison terms-with general salts
faction.
May Serve State
The masses appeared to have the
consciousness of power through the
arrest and sentence of the alleged
plotters, and an ennobling sense OF
generosity through the mercy
shown the prisoners by the Xix, or
central executive committee Of the
Soviet Union, equivalent to parlia-
ment in other countries.
There was no indication of where
Professor Leonid Ramzin, leader Of
the conspirators, and his fellow
prisoners would be confined.
Ramzin and Alexander Fedotov,
head Of the textile institute, as we'll
as other specialists among the de-
PENDANTS who held important posi-
tons in the Soviet industrial plan,
led to the belief that they might be
held close to centers where their
scientific knowledge could be used
by the state.
Imprisoned on Islands
Normally, political convicts are
sent to the Solevetzky islands, north
of Archangel, or some other far
northern internment camp.
It is common knowledge, however,
that in the past some convicted
technicians in transport, mining.
and other industries have continued
to work under official surveillance.
The hope of shortening their
terms usually makes prisoners very
anxious to serve the government.

Epiphanes, had been putting to
death multitudes Of the innabi-
tants Of Jerusalem.
At Modin, a village Of Pales-

Mattathias, aroused by the suffer
ing and spiritual slavery Of his
people, stirred the hearts Of his
five sons, known as the Macca-
bees, who gathered a small band
about their camp. This small
band fought against the Syrians
for three years, and finally in
1855 B. c., routed the Syrian
army from Jerusalem and victori-
ously entered the temple.

MEDAL GIVEN VIR GINA DOCTOR
WHOSE TICK JUICE SAVED MANY
Spotted Fever Halted After
Tests of Guinea Pig
and Self.
Or. Spencer Explains Work
Bringing incubation to
Thousands.

The American Medical Association
has awarded a gold medal to Dr. Ros-
coe r. Spencer of the United States
Public Health Service, who this year,
according to oficial citations, saved
scores of persons from the deadly
Rocky Mountain spotted fever. DR..
Spencer resides here at 361S. Veazey
street.
His medal thus signifies the saving
not of one life, but OF scores already
and hundreds in years to come. In one
locality public health records show
death In IS per cent of the adults con-
tracing the disease in the past IL years.
But DR.. Spencer values that medal
most, he admitted today, because OF
the glory 1t reflects on his home town
of Richmond, Va, and his alma mater,
the University of Richmond. He is
going down there soon to receive
Phi Beta Kappa key. that he will
cherish along with the medal.
Different Kind Of Savant.
Looking like a college student still,
DR.. Spencer was a specimen OF the
savant as new and different as his
tick juice"
Nonchalantly and with drollery he
explained his discovery.
81 suppose the reason I got the medal
is that it's the only vaccine in the
world made Of insectS-ground-up
ticks" he said. Knowing that ticks
carried it. figured that with ticks ]
could innoculate against 1t. tried 1t
on guinea pigs, and 1t didn't kill them,
so I tried 1t on myself, and 1t worked.
"In 1924, / was the first and only
one to take it. In 1925, "a brave souls
volunteered In 1926, without any urg-
ing, the number was 600. Last year 1t
was 6,000-using all the vaccine we
could make in our public health service
laboratory at Hamilton, Mont.
Or. Spencer explained that his really
valuable discovery was the alternating
habits Of tick and virus concerned In
the spread Of spotted fever.
Quiescent i'm Winter.
When Winter winds sweep the sheep
herdIng sections of Montana, Wyoming
and Idaho, Spencer explained, the ticks
on sheep and wild animals become quie-
scent. The virus within the tick also
hibernates, he said.
Only through duplication of this
Information could an efficacious vaccine
be developed, he discovered.
After allowing the ticks to feed on
infected animals we put them into a
refrigerator to hibernate" he explained.
when taken out they have no effect.
But let tick take one drop of blood
from host and enough poison develops
in that one tick to kill thousand
guinea pigs"
No commercial concern would at
tempt the manufacture of so expensive
and difficult a product as vaccine from
post hibernated ticks, DR.. Spencer said
and the Public Health Service therefore
has monopoly.
| But no charge Is made for VAGINA
ton materials, since those who suffer
are, for the most part, people of small
financial means and the Federal Gov
eminent is anxious to stamp out the
plague.

OPPOSITION is REDUCED
IN DETROIT ELECTION
Last-Minute Withdrawals of TIVE
City ofhcials Increases Mayor
Bowles' Prospects.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
DETROIT, August 30.-The opposi-
ton which Mayor Charles Bowles viii
face in the special mayoralty election
September was reduced yesterday by
the last-minute withdrawal of Harold
H. Emmons. former police commissioner,
and Charles F. Clippert, member of the
city Fire Commission.
In the hope that the field would be
reduced by Withdrawals, Richard w.
Reading, city clerk, had extended TO
pm. yesterday the time within which
candidates could take their names from
the ballot. The two Withdrawals leave
in the race against Mayor Bowles his
predecessor in Office, John w. Smith;
Frank Murphy. who resigned as judge
of Recorders Court to enter the race
George Engel, refused reappointment
as chairman of the city Civil Service
Commission by Mayor Bowles. and Phil
Raymond, announced as a Communist
candidate.
Friends Of former Mayor Smith an
nounced that he had remained in the
race because Murphy had declined to
Withdraw. Murphy Still had five years
of his term as Recorders Court judge
at $12,500 a year. The mayors ONCE
pays a salary of $4,000 year.
Mayor Bowles' recall was voted at a
special election on July 20. The move
nent for his recall followed newspaper
charges that gambling was flourishins
in Detroit. His dismissal of Emmons
as police commissioner after the latter
had directed series Of raids on
gambling establishments during the
mayors absence at the Kentucky Derby
directly preceded the formal filing Of
petitions for the recall election.

DRY SUPPORT LOST.
BY MRS. M'CORN|CK.
League, Dissatisfied With
Her Stand, Is Ready to
Aid Independent.
BY The Associated Press.

BY The Associated Press.
CHICAGO, August 3O.-The Anti
Saloon League of Illinois, finding the
prohibition stand of Ruth Hanna NC
Cormick Republican senatorial nominee,
entirely unsatisfactory" announced
last night it was ready to support dry
independent candidate.
George B. Stafford, league superin-
tendent, issued a statement In which
he said the entire influence of his or
ganization would be exerted for ANY
worthy candidate" brought out by the
dry forces.
The State Anti-Saloon League worked
actively for Mrs. Mccormick when she
was campaigning for Congress and 1t
supported her passively in her primary
campaign against Senator Charles s.
Deneen.
The injection of an independent cam
didate into the race between Mrs. Nc
Cormick and James Hamilton Lewis,
Democrat, was forecast by Stafford, al
though he mentioned no names.
Mrs. O'NeiI Mentioned.
Mrs. Lottie Holman O'Neill of Downes
Grove, ILL.,, first woman legislator, has
been prominently mentioned by the
Chicago press as the choice OF the dry
leaders.
Mrs ONeill. a Republican, cam
paigned for Senator Deneen in his
losing primary battle with Mrs. McCor-
mick. She admitted yesterday that dry
leaders from all over the State had
asked her to enter the senatorial cam
paign.
At the State party convention. Mrs.
O'Neill espouSed a resolution favoring
restatement of the platform adopted at
the Kansas City Republican national
convention.
Instead, the convention pledged the
State @. o. p. to abide by the decision
of the voters in the November referen-
dunn on prohibition repeal.
Although she reiterated that she was
still personally dry, Mrs. Mccormick
also promised to vote for repeal of the
eighteenth amendment If the majority
of the voters favored such action.
Always Opposed Lewis.
The Anti-saloon League has always
been opposed to former Senator Lewis,
whose keynote speech at the Democratic
State convention urged repeal Of all
prohibition legislation.
Referring to Mrs. McCormick's speech
before the Republican convention, the
Anti-saloon League head said:
THE drys consider that this an
nouncement was made for the purpose
Of winning wet votes and that Mrs.
Mccormick Is ready to abandon her
convictions under the pressure of
political expediency. This is entirely
unsatisfactory to us.
THE officers of the Anti-saloon
League feel that their only hope in Sc
curing adequate representation in sup
port Of the prohibition amendment will
be by supporting an independent can
didate for the United States Senate,
and the entire influence of the Anti
saloon League will be exerted in sup
port of any worthy candidate who is
brought out by united action of the dry
leaders Of the State"

graph communications were demoraliZed
everywhere.
The storm started in the north early
in the day and by noon the Edin-
burgh district was so dark that street
lamps and shop lights were turned on.
There was respite in the afternoon
but later the storm set in more de-
terminedly than ever. A Glasgow post
Office official said the storm was the
worst ever experienced by the depart
ment.
