CHICAGO, January 9.-There
we're two bears and one bull in
the cold-weather market in Chi
cago today.
Norman Morris and George
McKerr, members of the Board
of Trade, were the bears, John
F. Barrett, head of a grain firm
bearing his name, was the bull.
1t all happened when Barrett
started to speak highly of the
cold weather they have in Canada
and slightingly of the kind they
have in Chicago, going so far as
to offer to wager $500 that there
won't be any zero weather in
these parts before April /. Nor

Heart Rate Found

Professor Announces Dis

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW HAVEN, Conn, January 23.-
DR.. Walter B. Cannon, professor OF
physiology at Harvard University, last
night announced the discovery OF a
hitherto unknown adrenalinlike hor-
none.
In an address before the Yale Medi-
cal Society on THE Explanation OF a
Mysterious Emotional Increase in the
Heart Rate" the Harvard professor re-
vealed that chemical substance which
he termed "sympathin" is given off by
smooth muscle when stimulated by
nerves attached to the spinal cord, over
which the brain has no control, and
affects the heart directly as does adre-
nalin.
This discovery throws further light
on the action of the involuntary or
sympathetic nerves, it was said, and

TWO FRAUDS LAID

By the Associated Press.
ROCKFORD. ILL.,, January %. - The
"Yellow Kid" Joseph We'll, faced two
hurdles on the path to freedom from
the county Jail today, both of them
charges of operating confidence games,
at which he has become notorious.
Harry Maule, a Racine, Wis, con-
tractor, had We'll and a companion,
Fred BuckminSter, arrested in Chicago
Wednesday on a charge of fleeing him
of $500. They denied the charge.
Another complainant, Edward r. Oils
dorf, 68, arranged to view We'll today in
hope of verifying his opinion, formed
from newspaper and detective bureau
photographs. that We'll was one of three
men who took $150,000 from him last
Spring in Reno, New.
Gilsdorf told police a man, whom he
believed was We'll, scraped an acquaint-
ance with him in a Hot Springs Ark,
hotel, introduced him to a former
judge" who was about to lose his po-
sition as Handicapped with racing as
ISOLATION for giving tips to his friends, ."
and was persuaded to bet on horse races.
He said he won S150,000 with funds
advanced by the first man, but the
"bookie" refused TO pay until he showed
cash to that amount as evidence of good
faith. He returned to Chicago and
sold mortgages and bonds, he said, but
the three stalled him off during a trip
to Reno and then relieved him of the
money during a night visit to noun
tain cabin.

While Prof. Cannon did not comment
on the practical value of the discovery,
scientists here said 1t was of extreme
interest, since 1t suggests that wherever
sympathetic nerves terminate, an adre-

When the downpour ceased,
water stood twenty seven feet deep

could have escaped into the safety

While fifty police held back the
crowds, fremen dropped five hose

hours powerful engines pumped
steadily, syphoning the food waters
from the shaft.
At 1870 the water level had been
dropped until it was considered safe
to open the little underground dens
in which the men had sought
refuge. Six of the men were in one
safety room, five in another.

A S dispatches from Washington
L N reiterate the convictions Of the

Indiana is contemplating becoming
a candidate for the Republican
nomination for vice-president, the
boys" in the Columbia Club, at
the crossroads store and in the few
public Offices remaining to the G..
O. P, shake their heads dolefully.
Some one says something about
e. deserving a sinking ship" and
there are mods Of assent.
1t will look very much ike deser-
ton to the faithful if Senator jim
decides to seek the vice presidency,
succeeding Charles Curtis.
The peculiar feature Of the mat
ter is that if Curtis is leaving the
vice presidency, it is because he
thinks the national ticket is doomed
In 1892; while Jim's action in seek
| ing the nomination would be mott
waited by a distrust in his party's
future in Indiana.
Sounds fishy, doesn't it? But that's
the ostensible reason.
There can be no doubt that Sen
ator Jim knows he'll have a hard
fight here if he seeks the senatorial
election again. The nomination is
a cinch, for after all, jim is party
boss. But it is in the election
where the difficulty lies.
In 1929 the Democrats elected
sixty mayors, in 1880 they swept
the state with their state and
county tickets. And in 1882 +?
Then there is the question Of
whether Watson wants the nomina-
ton. After all, he is the most i'm
portant governmental figure in
Washington.
And also, Watson is now in the
spot he likes best-adviser Of a
President (Who rarely takes the ad-
vice. and boss of the senate (notori-
ously unbossable). Then, too bust
ness might pick up, he feels, and
/ his chances TO be reelected will
/ improve.
/ Several weeks ago this column, re-
/ ferring to the rumors giving Watson
credit for instigating the mora
forum, said: Senator Jim, Of
course, emphatically denies he
fathered the plan. That may be
true, but there can be no doubt he
may have been one Of the midwives
at its birth"
A few. days later came the fol-
lowing short note:
My Dear Benz object to your
describing, or characterizing me as
a midwife. am not qualified and
make no claims or pretensions to
the performance Of services for
which I have neither aptitude, lik-
ing nor training.
