New Haven, March 5 P-Th2t the Yale Daily News is planning 10 compile figures showing the present extent of the drinking in the college world with special emphasis nn Yale, was indicated in an editorial in the paper today.
 Commenting the Harvard Crim- son upon it's move to interest American colleges in prohibition r2- peal, the editorial said however little can be accomplished by such d movement. A clear presentation of the real facts of college drinking it was contended would be of much greater value.
 Strictly speaking prohibition is not college issue,'' the editorial said.
 When the Harvard Crimson asts What can college men do about pro- hibition?' the obvious answer is very little.'
 "The News is primarily interested in getting at the facts of prohibition as they obtain in the university. Even if two thousand students went on record as being opposed 10 tEe amendment, or if ;J series of debat, S drew nationwide attention, what would be accomplished? On ahe other hand it is our conviction that facts and figures showing the pres cnt extent of drinking in colleges would be valuable contribution to the issue.'

Brazel claimed to be one of the first upon whom insuIin treat ments for diabetics had been tried and insisted that the state had made a mistake when it arrested him.
 In testifying, Dr. Mcfarland brought out the fact that the reac- ton of an over dose of insulin was very similar to that of alcohol but that it's characteristic odor could be detected and not necessarily con- fused with that of alcohol. Dr. Gris- wold produced a list of symptoms of the reactions of both alcohol and in- sulin and according to him, there

 A policeman and negro gunman were killed; one other patrolman and at least one more member of the cult were wounded.
 Leader of Raid Shot
 Sergeant Robert Anderson, who led the raiders up the creaking stairs to the third floor where the weird ritual was being conducted, was shot to death five minutes after he broke into the inner room. A negro mem- Der of the voodoo band, known only as "Cokey Joe" was killed as he at tempted to escape. Audley .Billups, another member of the band who was reused to a fanatical pitch by the voodoo chant, took nine bullets in his body and went down in a cor ner still battling with his fists. He was still alive when taken to Newark City hospital.
 Before he collapsed Billups' hand still was steady enough to wound Marion Thigpen, tho only negro pa trolman on the Newark force. who had followed Anderson up the stairs
 Anderson, sergeant, was inform- ed by the patrolman on the beat that uncanny noises were coming from the house. Anderson went 10 the house, accompanied by Patrol man Charles Wittick, William Mey- CTS, Frank Wycalek and Thigpen. Wittick and Meyers were stationed at the rear of the house: Anderson and Thigpen entered and Wycalek remained at the front door
 The sergeant and the negro pa trolman walked quietly through the deserted halls on the first floor, crcpt up the stairs and found the second story also deserted. Then from the floor came the rise and fall of a chant, broken occasionally by a stri- dent voice offering invocation to an African God. The ceiling shook to the rhythmical swing of bodies.
 Chant Interrupted
 Anderson and Thigpen tip-toed to the third floor and listened outside the door. Suddenly the chant was in terrupted and a high pitched voice shrilled:
 There ain't no such thing as law; every man makes his own law ac- cording 10 the light God gives him."
 Amen" came the rumbling chorus from the rest of the band.

 Others prominent in the rcpubIi- can party apparently were inform cd of the expected announcement but they, too, refused 10 comment or disclose the name of the man who, it is believed, will be pitted against former Mayor George A. Quigley in a primary fight with the advantage of organization backing.
 Quigley has been estranged from the town committee for many years and campaigns he has conducted since leaving the mayors office in 1920 have been waged without the support of the regular party organ- ization, according to the eX-mayor. The effect of this has been the building of what is conceded to be
 
 it is upon the efficiency of this group that Quigley pins his hopes of capturing the nomination this month. although it is known that there are many of his former foes aligned with him at present.
 Alderman David L. Nair of the first ward continued his silence to- day, refusing to say whether he would be a candidate for the re- publican nomination. Published re- ports that the first warder has his eyes cast in the direction of the mayors office have resulted in many proffers Of support and assistance, but he has not decided what his answer will be, he said today.
