NEW CHARGES MAY BE
MORE EFFECTIVE

WASHINGTON, Aug. &c (UPl
A new attempt to extradite Sam.
uel insult from Athens for trial
on charges growing out of the col
lapse of the once mighty insult
utilities empire was revealed yes
terday after it had been concealed
carefully until negotiations in
Greece were already well under
way.
Greece has previously refused
to turn insult over to the United
States authorities on an Illinois
state charge IF embezzlement,
the Greek supreme court holding
that the evidence was insufficient.
For months after that decision
there was no sign of activity
against the elderly Englishman
who created a pyramid of utilities
companies which spread over the
East, South and Middlewest.
But Friday it was revealed af-
ter formal demand of the depart
ment of justice for Insults extra
dition. that a new indictment,
charging violation Of the federal
bankruptcy laws, had been re-
turned June 1 in Chicago. 1t
named insult, his son. Samuel, Jr.,
his brother. Martin, and six other
officials of insult companies.
After the sealed indictment was
returned, it was learned. Forrest
A. Harness, special assistant Uni
ted States attorney general went
quietly to Greece. He is now in
Athens, aiding diplomatic officials
in preparing the new case against
insult on a charge which, authori-
ties believe. can be substantiated
more readily than the earlier
state charge.
Extradition proceedings prob
ably will be renewed soon for
Martin insult. who has been in
Canada for several months.

SLEEPING SICKNESS GROWS
TO WORST EPIDEMIC KNOWN
FROM MALADY IN HISTORY
81 Dead, ESQ Ill; St.
Louis Schools May Not
Be Opened

ST. LOUIS. Aug. 26.-(UP)--
The public schools may not open
for the fall and winter term if
the worst sleeping sickness cpl
,demic in history continues.
Thirty-two deaths and more
than $50 cases have been report
ed since the first of August.
Steadily losing ground in their
efforts to check the spread of
sleeping sickness, city, state and
federal medical authorities last
night isued a public appeal for
every person feeling symptoms of
the illness to report at once to
hospitals.
The mysterious malady, about
which medical authorities frankly
state they know very little of its
origin. it's carrier or it's treatment,
today affected an area of approx
mately 25 square miles.
The number of cases under
treatment has increased despite
every effort of health officials to
check spread of the disease. More
than 100 cases have been found
this week. The high death rate,
more than 10 per cent, has caused
concern.
