147-Day Coma
Rare Serum Developed
From Own Blood May
Save Sleeping Beauty.

By aited Press
OAK PARK, Ill, July IA
~ suburban physician today
pitted a rare serum taken from
the blood of pretty Patricia Ma
gulre, q, who has been in coma
lat days, against the creeping
death that threatens her.
Like the sleeping princess in
the fairy tale, the slender, dark
haired girl virtually has been
living corpse" since last Feb. IS.
A conference of physicians de-
cided months ago that she could
not live.
But the spark Of life burned on.
and that fact has made it pos
sible for Dr. Eugene Traut to
isolate, for the first time from
living human, the germ that
causes American sleeping sick
ness"
1T is the most amazing case I
ever have seen or hard of" DR..
Traut said today. Because of
Miss Maguire's strange vitality, I
have been able to isolate the
germs and develop a serum.
Il have administered the serum
and I hope it will not only cure
her, but will prove a valuable adj
dition to the store of medical
science"
EOR nearly six months the
Il quiet-spoken, attractive pri-
vate secretary has lain almost
inert in the Oak Park home of
her mother, Mrs. Sadie Miley.
At times her eyes have f1ickered.
but neither her mother nor her
sister Mrs. Gladys Hansen, be-
licVe she recognized them.
Every two hours, two nurses
g'Te her liquid food through her
nostrils. Daily, they nj assage her
limbs so they will not VI aste away.
strangely enough" the mother
said, Patricia has grown heavier.
She weighed only 100 pounds
when she was taken i'll, and now
she weighs almost 49,"
A ROMANCE apparently was
IA given a tragic setback by the
malady.
Was Miss Mcguire to have been
married?" the mother was asked.
The mother caught her breath.
Let's not talk about that she
pleaded.
The illness struck Miss Mcguire
as she was preparing for church.
Everything has been a blank to
her since, as far as her doctor and
the nurses could determine.
DR.. Traut explained that the
malady is a brain infection. He
cautioned against confusing it
with sleeping sickness" prevalent
in Africa, and caused by the bite
of the tse-tse fly.

RAP HOOVER ON
Jobs TIMIDITY'
House Independents Score
Relief Policy.
By UMited Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, July 12.-Presi-
dent Hoover was criticised for
"timidity toward unemployment re-
lief legislation" today by a coalition
of house Independents headed by
Representative La Guardia (Rep.,
N. ".
Their statement suggested con-
gresS recess until the time comes
for action on a relief bill to supplant
the one vetoed by President Hoover.
The senate banking and currency
committee had under consideration
today a substitute measure offered
by Senator Wagner Dem, N. "
for the $136,000,000 emergency high
way BILL passed by the house, and
now on the senate calendar as the
special order of business after dis
posal of the home loan bank bill.
Wegner's bill will carry $2,122, 0O0,-
900, the identical amount in the
vetoed measure.
The house independents state
ment said
In the matter of direct relief, we
deplore the utter lack of vision and
timidity on the part of the chief
executive and the apparent sur
render of the legislative branch of
the government"
The group suggested a new relief
program, including:
Substantial direct relief to the
states to be apportioned on the basis
of need
A program of public works "of
magnitude to bring about
a revival of business and credit.
Combining of Reconstruction FL
nance Corporation loans to "produc-
tive and creative enterprises.

INQUEST FAILS
TO FIX HEIR
DEATH BLAME
Reynolds Killing Still Is
Mystery; Officials Not to
Drop Probe.
LIBBY TO CINCINNATI
She Will Go Back to Old
Home After Ordeal in
Barring Love Story.
BY MORRIS DE HAVEN TRACY
United Press Stan Correspondent


WINSTON SALEM, N. c., July
12.-The Smith Reynolds death mys-
terry investigation has not been closed
by Monday nights verdict Of the
coroner's jury, which found that the
young Reynolds heir died from a
gunshot wound inflicted by persons
or person unknown, Sheriff Tran
sou Scott said today.
NO case is closed as long as it is
a mystery he said, as far as my
Office is concerned. And this case
certainly is a mystery
Later today, a conference of Of
1lcials may decide Just what direc-
ton the subsequent investigation
will fonow
In the meantime, Libby Holman,
widow of the 20-year-old heir to the
Reynolds tobacco fortune, prepared
to leave late this afternoon for Gin
cinnati. the family home.
Monday night she was released
from custody after having been held
under guard since Saturday as a
material witness in the death OF
her husband.
CorOner's Jury Gives Verdict
Young Reynolds had been killed
by a gunshot wound Wednesday
morning.
The coroner's jury near midnight,
returned a verdict of death from a
shot fired by person or persons
unknown.
Both Libby and Albert Walker,
who also was held as a material
witness, Immediately were released.
The inquest testimony records
with amazing frankness Mrs. Reyn-
olds' story of her youthful husbands
courtship, their love, and the grow
ing inferiority complex of Smith.
To show a possible motive for sui
eide, the girl had told the coroner's
jury Monday of her husbands dis
couragement over physical made
quacies, and had pictured him as so
moody that he had threatened sew
eral times to kill himself.
The verdict came at the end of
q day so packed with drama that
those who followed it closely were
left blinking and bewildered. Libby
Holman, exotic as ever, for one
hour poured out her heart to the
jury.
She confided that Smith Reyn-
olds suffered from fear that he
could not make her happy or re-
turn the love she bestowed upon
him.
He had urged her, she said, to
seek companionship of other men.
Reveals Drinking Contest
Probably the most amazing bit
of testimony to some listeners was
that of nurses at the hospital
where Smith Reynolds died. where
Libby Holman and Albert Walker
had hurried last Wednesday morn
ing
Mrs. Reynolds, clad in negligee,
was assigned to private room
Walker later went in with her.
The nurse entered and found both
on the floor. struggling to rise.
"Oh, my baby" Libby cried, &C
cording to the nurse.
And in answer t. Walkers ques-
ton, continued, don't you know
I'm going to have a baby?"
Walker testified that he had
tainted while seated on the edge OF
the bed.
And Charles G., Hill, for whom
the party was given Tuesday night
told the jurors that Mrs. William
Vaught, a guest, and Mrs. Reynolds
had engaged in drinking contest
after the formers boast that she
could drink as much whisky as any
man.

JOHN R|NCL|NC
CRITICALLY ILL
Amputate Both Leqs of
Last of Circus Family.

By United Press
NEW YORK, July 12.--John Ring
ling, last of the seven brothers Of
circus fame, is recuperating today
from a serious illness which neces-
STATED the amputation of both his
legs.
At the Half Moon hotel, Coney
Island, where he is convalescing in
the suite of his friend, Samue.
Gumpertz, Ringing was said to be
resting comfortably"
Ringling's illness was kept secret
by his associates. 1t was learned
however, that it was a form of blood
poisoning and that the amputations
were performed several weeks ago.
Ringing is about IS. He was
born near Baraboo, Wis, where his
harness maker father, August
Rungeling-the correct family name
settled after emigrating from
Hanover, Germany.
When John and his six brothers,
Will, Otto, Alfred, Charley, Gus,
and Henry, were youngsters, a
minor Showboat tied up at the
dock of McGreggor Island, Mis-
Sissippi river town where the fam
lily then lived.
The advent of this little show de-
termined the career of the Ringing
brothers. They began playing circus
seriously from the start. From pins
for admission they progressed to
pennies and then to larger and
more profitable coins.
ALI became professional juggler
while Henry and Gus played the
town halls and school houses of
Wisconsin and Minnesota as the
classic concert company. Later the
brothers combined as Yankee
