EDISON FAILS TO AROUSE FROM THE
 PRESENT STUP0R
There Is No Evidence of an Immediate End of His Life Said the Phy= SiCian

West Orange, N. J., Oct Is - GU. P.)-Thomas A. Edison has not reused from the stupor for the past A hours but there is no indi- cation of an immediate emergency, his physician reported to-day. The l bulletin, signed by Dr Hubert s. Howe, read: During the past "A hours MT Edison has not reused. He shows no signs of discomfort, simply resting quietly. There is no evidence of emergency"
 It was explained that the term "roused" used by Dr Howe meant reused from the stupor in which Edison has been for several days. The bulletin issued by Charles Edi- son this morning spoke of Edison awakening. This meant that he simply opened his eyes, thus being technically awake but not necessar- fly rousing from his stupor. Edi- son has now been "A hours with out either food or water and to- tai of 10 days without any fluid of any kind. pr Howe said Edison Is beginning to show the strain of his long illness and that the only thing that has helped him survive thus far is his indomitable heart which continues to function strongly.

BOSTON PEOPLE

 BUT WON'T PAY

Boston, Oct 15-(U.

Though an estimated 10000 per- sons attended yesterdays two meet ings, the free will offerings still provided no more than enough funds to cover the $2,600 daily ex- penses of Aimee's revival, the man. agement claimed.
 Manager Richard G. Dunn of the Garden has informed City Budget Commissioner Charles Fox that there probably will be no money for Boston's unemployed at the end of the series of meetings. Aimee agreed with Mayor James M. Curley to split the net proceeds on a 50-50 basis with the jobless. but now she doubts that total col lections will cover expenses.

JUDGE HAMLIN IS
 AGAINST NOLLE
 OF COURT CASES
Litchfield Jurist Says the Practice of Nolle to Get Costs Should Be COn- demned

Hartford, Conn, Oct 15.-(UP) The practice in some Connecticut courts of granting a nolle on pay ment of costs in condemned severe ly by Judge Ebert B. Hamilton of the Litchfield court of common pleas in the current issue of the Connecticut Bar Journal.
 Judge Hamlin declared the question Is worthy of adjudication by our highest authority in the light of present-day jurisprudence.
 ''The forcible collection of costs from a defendant charged with crime can be justified only as a penalty consequent upon guilt" he adds.
 The fact justices of the peace in small town courts are tempted to assess costs upon the defendant rather than collect from the coun- ty. as provided by law, because they get their fees from the costs and can collect more easily from the defendant, the judge points out.
