was the veteran, Senator James E.
Watson of Indiana, Republican leader
of the Senate. Under the invariable
rule of the club that reporters are
never present." their remarks are not
of record. The Presidents address, &C
cording to custom, came at the end of

R.F C. OFFICIALS SHOCKED.
Philip w. White Had Been on Sick
Leave a Month.

Officials of the r. F. c. were shocked
last night to learn of the death of
Philip w. White, an attorney in the
elf-liquidating project division.
Harvey C. Couch, member of the
board of directors, under whose super
vision White was employed, said the at
torney had been on sick leave for about
month, owing to nervous breakdown
attributed to overwork. Mr.. Couch said
Mr.. White informed associates he in
tended to rest up at his mothers home
in Denver.
Mr. Couch said several letters had
been received from the attorney since
his departure, but there was nothing in
them to indicate any intention of end
ing his life.
Mr.. White had been employed by the
corporation since last September and
had proved an efficient worker, Mr..
Couch said. The pressure of business
involved in checking legal phases of
the flood of applications for self-liqui-
dating loans had kept Mr. White and
other employees at their DISKS day and
night for weeks, it was explained. The
strain proved too great for the attorney,
and he was granted indefinite leave in
which to recover his health.
He was unmarried and lived at Ward
man Park Hotel.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, December 10
DR.. N. A. Borodin, eminent Russian
biologist now experimenting at Harvard
University, today took an Alaskan
blackfish, frozen as stiff as shoe leather,
out of a specially constructed electric
refrigerator and dropped it into a jar
of water. Within less than two minutes
the fish twitched and. in few more
minutes, was threshing briskly about.
The fish had been, to all appearances,
dead-frozen into rigidity for 40 min

was now very much alive with only
a slight paleness around the gills as a
mark of its experience.
The biologist explained that this
state of suspended animation, was
known as anabiosis.

the discuss the eventual significance of
his experiments. but conceded that some
day they might have some practical"
use, such as freezing live sturgeon at
