PRISON GERM TEST
RESULTS AWAITED
Convicts Expected to Show
NEGATIVE Reaction in Sleep
MaIady Study.

: Ten Mississippi Penitentiary convicts
who volunteered to be bitten by mos
ouitoes which had fed on the blood
Of Missouri victims of sleeping sickness,
IN an experiment carried on under di-
rection Of Public Health Service doc
tors, are expected to provide important
negative information on the means
Of transmission of this dreaded dis
Ease
The men are being used, it was ex-
planned at the Public Health Service
today, in an effort to prove conclu-
sively that the invisible virus Of the
strange malady is not transmitted by
mosquitoes There is already strong
presumption against this because none
Of the three Public Health Service doc
tors who allowed themselves to be Bit
ten by similar insects has shown any
signs of the disease, but the use of the
convicts makes possible a better con-
trolled experiment.
Precedent in Convict Use.
The Public Health Service turned to
Mississippi because the precedent of
using penitentiary prisoners for disease
experimentation already had been es-
tablished there in one of the most

tory. This was the establishment Of
pellagra as disease due to definite
deficiencies in the diet by DR.. Joseph
Goldberger of the Public Health Serv-
ice in 1916.
A few weeks ago, when it seemed i'm
possible to establish a strain of the
virus in experimental animals, 1t was
seriously proposed that convict volun-
CeerS be sought for inoculation with this
virus itself. There is no further ne
cessity for this because of the estab-
llshment Of a strain in monkeys. II
the 1916 precedent is followed, although
no promises have been announced, it
is expected that the convicts will be
pardoned as soon as the doctors have
made certain that they have not con-
tracted sleeping sickness from the mos
quito bites.
Others Were Pardoned.
The pellagra victims left the peni-
tentiary as soon as DR.. Goldberger was
through with them.
The probable breakdown of the
mosquito transmission hypothesis leaves
the problem IF how the virus gets from
one person to another as unsettled as
ever. Public Health Service doctors
have been unable to frame any en-
tirely acceptable explanation for the
TACT that the outbreak in Missouri was
essentially one of suburban districts
rather than of the open country or of
the city.

Germany Seeks to Forestall Con-

Geneva Conference.

GENEVA, october 3.-German dele
gates attempted to forestall considera-
ton of the Jewish question in connec-
ton with debates on minorities today
by taking the stand in meeting Of the
League Of Nations Political Committee
that the two problems were not related.
The permanent German representa-

contended that Jews in Germany are
not a linguistic or national minority.
and that they never had asked to be
treated as a minority
The Czechoslovakian delegate, Eduard
Benes, appealed to the League Political
Commission that the great powers try
to solve the problem of Jews by i'm
migration to Palestine. Plans were ap-
proved saying Palestine could absorb
100000 Jews in the next four years.

They were as jupIlant as kids at a picnic. Heinie Manush, slugging outfielder, stood at one end of the station concourse, swinging a cane like a baseball bat. Joe Cronin, who had been in serious conversa- ton with Owner Clark Griffith, suddenly leaped from his seat.
 Hey, Heinie," he yelled, "See if you can hit this" He yanked off Infelder Johnnie Kerr's straw hat and spun 1t to- ward Manush. Crash" went the cane against the hat. Crunch" groaned the hat. crown flying in one direction, lining in another.
 How They Take Him
 That started it. They mangled every straw hat in the crowd, in- cluding Joe's own.
 Managerial dignity? Rubbish!
 To Joe Cronin he's one of the boys, just a fellow playing short stop who has to make few more decisions than the rest and who has to take little more riding from the fans.
 Which is why, after little fric- ton at the start of the season, the players worship him.
 Manush, who once was mem- Der of that great triumvirate in the Detroit outtield that included Ty Cobb and Harry Heilmann, swears that Cronin will be regarded as q greater baseball figure than the old Georgia Peach himself.
 Jack Russell, slender pitching veteran, whose relief work has been a great factor in the Mats success, insists that any team In the league could be strong threat if 1t had Joe to play shortstop and be the fighting manager he is in Washington.
 They Shout Now
 Cronin's theory Is one of live and let live. He makes his quota of errors. He fails sometimes in the pinches at bat. Everybody does. These things he leaves to the indi- vidual to take care of.
 He doesn't fret about petty things. He doesn't use the iron fist of his office except as a last resort.
 Time was when the Washington team on the field was us quiet as a dead mouse. Only Joe himself, during those years when he was being chosen as the leagues most valua ble player, kept up the steady chatter that marks q poppy ball club.
 Now, the Senators afield are a bedlam let loose. Everyone, ever the sober, hard working, tight mouthed Ossic Bluege at third adGs his share to the yipping.
 Cronin is booed in every city on the circuit for his repeated argu- ments with umpires. On adverse decisions he leaps after the officials with that jlttery little jog-step and starts his mighty chin waggling.
 Hut he does 1t because it's his way to fight for every inch. The rest of the team feels the same way about 1t. Not long ago theer was much talk of the bclligerency of the Mats, of their ready-to-fight- anytime attitude. That was the Cronin influence. But it wasn't really as bad as that.
 It's just that the team wants 10 win. Every man is what Is known as a winning ball player" They aren't good losers because they don't want to lose. They're that way because it's Cronln's way.
 And it's why tho Mats have been able to come back time and again after suffering crushing defeats.
 It's Cronin chin coming out in every man.
 NEXT-Joe Cronin off the field.
