DIABETES TREATED
. BY CUTTING NERVE
Possible Cure Also Of Stom-
acn Ulcer Foreseen in
New Operation.
Ry the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA, June 13.--A nerve
operation that msy help cure diabetes
and stomach ulcer was described by DR..
George: w. Grille of the Cleveland Clinic
to the: American Medical Association
yesterday.
He said the results thus far are en-
couragtng" but the treatment had not
reached cure stage. The operation
sewers the nerve connection between
the brain and the adrenal glands, which
DR.. Grille calls the power station" Of
the body.
The reason for doing this Is DR..
Crile's belief that the brains emotional
control has an effect upon health, and
that these two diseases as well as some
others are partly due to this brain con-
troll going wrong. In these diseases the
brain control, he says, works directly
through the adrenal glands; hence he
sewers the nerves that serve as tele-
graph lines for the mistaken messages
The other diseases are hyperthyroid-
ism, which Is an undue activity of the
thyroid gland. and a mild form of
nervousness called neurocirculatory as
thenia.
DR.. Grille said this operation relieves
and probably will cure" those two dis
eases, having better effects upon them
thus far than on diabetes and ulcer.
He sketched wartime experiences as the
beginning of his knowledge that the
nerve control of the adrenal glands
might be interfered with successfully.
He said that 104 of these operations
have been performed, beginning In 1913

QUICK ACTION DUE
ON RAIL RATE PLEA
!. C. C. Expected to Decide on
Freight Is Pct. Hike in
Short Time.

BY the Associated Press,
Quick action by the Interstate Com
merce Commission is expected on the
application Of Eastern, Western and
Southern railroads for a IS per cent
increase in freight rates.
The petition, due Wednesday. or
dinarily would 60 through long round
of routine. but indications today were
every effort would be made to ex-
pecite q final decision.
Railroad officials base their hopes for
speedy action to some extent on assur-
ance given by Commissioner McMan-
amy last November to Western eXecu-
tives that the commission would ex-
pedite disposition of any concrete pro-
posal the roads might make.
Relief Held Imperative.
The applicants contend the condi-
ton Of their roads Is such that quick
relief Is imperative.
Normally only q few commissioners
are in the city during July and August.
However, some said 1t was possible the
commission would either act by
memorandum or postpone vacations In
order TO dispose of the application.
Railroad executives hope the commits
sion can act within 90 days through
suspension OF its rules. Normally there
would be a 00-day suspension of any
proposed increase. An investigation
with hearings and arguments would
follow. This procedure often stretches
into months. sometimes years.
Rates Cut In 1922.
The increase to be asked is q repeti-
ton en- a smaller scale Of what took
place during the 1920 depression. On
August 20. 1920, the roads were granted
heavy increases. Eastern roads raised
rates 40 per cent, Southern and Noun
tain-Pacific lines Is per cent, and
Western carriers 35 per cent.
The increase continued about two
years. A general reduction Of 10 per
cent was ordered July /, 1922. Inter-
state Commerce Commission statisti-
clans estimated this cut left rates in
the East IS per cent above the level Of
1920, Southern and Mountain Pacific,
1914 per cent, and Western, 81 w..
Railroad executives say the rates low
cred in 1922 would not be restored by
the new proposal. There has been fur
ther whiting Of rates, they said, as
result OF a general revision ordered
by Congress, especially on agricultural
products.

directors Of Augustana Theological
Seminary, Rock Island, Ill, were
Sharply criticized from the floor of the
seventy-second convention of the Au-
gustana Lutheran Synod here today.
Charging that some Of the directors
know more about philosophy than
about Christ" the Rev. c. e. Holmer of
Manistee, Mich, criticized the action Of
the board in declining to issue a per-
manent call to Prof. John Milton until
he had taken up studies leading to the
degree Of doctor of philosophy. Resig-
nation Of Prof. A. T. Lundholm
and Oscar Olsen also were involved in
the debate, during which the board was
accused CT modernistic tendencies.

T. Seashore, president of Luther Junior
College, Wahoo, Nebr, declared "the
evangelical spirit that has character
lied our synod is at stake"

CLEVELAND c. OF c.
URGES RATE BOOST
Launches Move TO Rally
Country's Sentiment for.
Freight Increase.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press. ,s.'...
CLEVELAND, June Is. An effort
fort to rally the country's sentiment in
approval of the proposed horizontal In
crease in railroad freight rates was IN
motion here tonight under sponsorship
of the Cleveland Chamber Of Commerce
which held that such an increase would
be the key to unlock the country's nor
NAL prosperity.
Announcing today it will support Wig
orously the proposed increase which
will be submitted by the railroads to
the Interstate Commerce Commission
next week. the chamber described the
rate boost as the one obvious point
at which the present economic ten
dency may be halted and turned up
ward"
BY increasing the railroads income,
the chamber said it would be possible
to restore their normal buying capacity,
an estimated one-sixth of the Nations
total In addition 1t would avert, the
chamber said, serious blow to the
Nations financial structure now threat
ened by the downward trend of rail-
road securities.
illustrating the buying power of rail-
roads under normal conditions, Frank
H. Baer, the chambers transportation
expert. said they ordinarily buy %
per cent of the soft coal production, 20
per cent of the timber cut, 10 per cent
of the fuel oil, and II per cent Of the
iron and steel output.
The chambers investigation found
that further economies in railroad oper-
to rally the country's sentiment in
reductions already have decreased
sharply the purchasing power OF their
800 900 employees.

the various fiesh-and- blood puppets
employed, he has coined a picture
that should live long in the memory
of those who see 1t.
Although some of the thunder OF
the original language has been soft
ened. there is enough intuitive sig
niflcance In the lines to suggest
that the words of these press gen.
tlen1en in q small town ''in q myth
cal kingdom" are not replete with
milk and honey. What they think
and the way they say it need puzzle
no one. Nor should the action. 1t
is all outspoken and frank drama
and there are more laughs in it than
are usually packed in the best ad-
vertiSed comedies"
Contrary to the conventional
cinematic ideas of newspaper life, no
women are robbed, no babes tossed
into the mouths Of lions. One Of
the gentlemen of the press spends
his days fumigating himself; an
other sleeps on the strings OF an
ancient banjo: another plays poker
while he telephones in his story and
the others sleep and wake according
to their inclinations. What there is
of excitement comes in from the
outside world, and murders and
hangings, ETC., for once are done by
others than these telephone and
typewriting wizards.
The story need not be revealed. 1t
Is either known through its parent
play or should be known as soon as
the public can get to see it, The
Characterization are so deft that
scarcely a flaw Is traceable. ESpe-
cially to be recommended are Ed
ward Everett Horton as the clearly
editor; Pat O'Brien as the typical
press devotee: Adolphe Menjou, free
from his dapper self, in an I'M
usually satisfying role, and Walter
Catlett and many others, who play
their parts straight from the
shoulder What with them, and the
definite punch at the end. this is one
Of those pictures.
