EIGHT DIE Of NEW
SLEEPING SICKNESS
Strange Form Strikes Sud-
denly, Causing Death in II
Hours, Doctor Says.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CINCINNATI, January 10.-A strange
form of sleeping sickncss-possibly a
type hitherto undiscovered-was blamed
today for the death of eight persons
here within the last several days. At
least IL others have been stricken, but
have. totally or partly recovered.
The diagnosis was embodied in a re-
port based on study by DR.. Howard
D. Mcintyre, neurologist, at Cincin-
natl General Hospital, and delivered
before the Cincinnati Academy of
Medicine.
The disease causes Inflammation of
the brain, accompanied by hemorrhages,
and strikes suddenly, sometimes caus-
ing death within IL hours. The latest
victim was Thelma Johnston, 2, who
became i'll last Wednesday afternoon
and died Thursday.
1t is form of encephalitis, the re-
port said, but so far has not been def
nitely named. Sleeping sickness is
lethargic encephalitis.
DR.. Mcintyre advised his audience
not to worry about it, however you
might just as well worry about being
struck by lightning" he said.
The neurologist, who studied Is cases,
said the fact the disease is not con-
fined to any race. age or sex leads him
to believe it is caused by germ rather
than by poison; is infectious, not
toxic.
Symptoms, he said, are commissions,
seeing double. sleepiness and drowsi-
ness, hemorrhage into the spinal fluid
and paralytic signs. The disease has
been successfully treated, he said, by
spinal puncture, to relieve pressure of
the spinal fluid, and injection of sugar
into the veins to relieve the congestion
of the brain.
OF the 16 cases he studied, DR.. Nc
Intyre said five were fatal, seven pa
tients recovered completely and four
made incomplete recoveries.

PARIS BUDGET ROW
|MPER|LS CABINET
Socialist Backers DESERVING
PauI-Bonc0ur Because of
Tax Increases.
BY the Associated Press

PARIS, January 10-Premier Paul
Boncour's cabinet was in peril when
the new parliamentary session opened
today, as a result Of reported hostility
by its Socialist supporters toward the
governments financial measures, which
are expected to be stringent In an eff
fort to balance the budget.
1t was understood Finance Minister
Cheron had reported to the cabinet
that his committee of experts figures
the 1888 budget deficit, which has been
accommodating since July IT, at I0,541,-
00o,0 900 francs ($421, 640, 0o0). He plans
to offset the deficit by 1925, 000, 900
francs in economies and 5,453, 600, 900
francs in fiscal changes, meaning new
taxes, allowing a surplus of 238.o00,0 600
francs.
The Socialist group in the chamber,
lib strong, which met and discussed the
government scheme, was reported to be
opposed to the new taxes, and also some
other points, planning to offer counter
project.
Since the Socialists form the main
bloc of NJ Paul Boncours present ma
jority, any detection probably would
mean the fall of the cabinet. 1t will
be several days, however, before the
question reaches critical stage in the
chamber Of deputies.

wide breach between Senate and
House Democrats on the form a pro-
hibtion repeal resolution should take,
today threatened to kill off any chances
OF congressional approval this session.
Speaker Garner, who holds the whip
hand, was outspoken in his criticism
Of the proposal reported to the Senate
yesterday which provides protection for
dry States. gives Congress power to ban
the saloon and calls for ratification by
State Legislatures.
He asserted 1t did not conform to
the Democratic platform and told news
paper men he would not allow it to
be taken up in the House under suspen-
sion Of rules, as was done the first day
OF Congress when an outright repeal
resolution was beaten by six votes.
Senate Passage Foreseen.
Senate Democrats, on the other, hand,
apparently have decided to accept the
resolution approved yesterday by the
Judiciary Committee and not press for
outright repeal as their platform calls
for. The chief opponents of prohibi-
nation of the saloon clause. but most
of them also have indicated that if they
fail they will vote for the measure as
drafted. Its passage in the Senate
has been forecast by many.
Representative Rainey of Illinois,
Democratic floor leader, Joined Garner
in opposition to the Senate resolution
in its present form. At the same time
Jouett ShouSe, president of the Asso-
citation Against the Prohibition Amend
ment, issued a statement saying it
would be better to let the present
amendment stand rather than pass
the Senate proposal.
Garner and Rainey said it was agreed
in conference with President-elect
Roosevelt last week that an effort would
be made to make the resolution con-
form to the party platform. But Sen
ate Democrats disputed this, saying no
agreement was reached.
Due on Anniversary.
With both Democratic and Repub-
lican leaders promising quick action on
the repeal question in the Senate, there
was a probability that branch would
celebrate the thirteenth anniversary of
prohibition next Monday by debating it.

eighteenth amendment in the Senate.
announced he would disclose his atti-
tude toward the repeal proposal in his
usual anniversary day speech
Pending that he withheld comment,
but number of other Senators clasSed
as equally ardent defenders of the pro-
hibition laws have said they will vote

ECONOMY LEAGUE
|. SUPPORT IS ASKED
Dupont Circle Citizens Told
of Plans for Large and
Active Unit Here.

Plans for development Of large and
active unit of the National Economy
League in the District we're outlined to
the Dupont Circle Citizens Association
last evening at the Mayfiower Hotel by
Edward H. Hart, leader of the Dis
trict chapter of the organization. A
nucleus of members already has been
formed here and when the membership
has been increased fighting campaign
will be waged, he said.
We do not have a vote here" he
said, but we do have the right of pc
tition"
The National Economy League, or
gained last May, now has units active
in 80 States, with others being organ
lied, Mr.. Hart reported. This is due,
he said, to crystalline in the public
mind of the necessity of reducing the
tax burden of the country which now
amounts annually to about 5000, 000,-
COO, or about one-fourth of the ma
tional income.
The league, Mr.. Hart declared, plans
to deal with all tax expenditures. but
at the start of its activities has en-
phasized the matter of the "wass2fuP'
expenditures on war veterans who we're
not disabled in conflict, or during their
period of service. He pointed out that
approximately "a per cent of the Fed
eral budget now goes for the 1928, 000,-
900 annual expenditures of the Vet
Grams Administration.
He urged citizens of Washington to
join in the movement.
Elimination of the starting nuisance
was the aim of resolution adopted by
the association, asking that Congress
amend the bird sanctuary provision of
the District laws
Officers of the body were directed to
appeal to the Senate and House Dis
trict Committees to amend the law so
that District authorities might direct
police to rope off affected ascas and to
dispose of the starlings. Police using
shotguns, it was declared, could clear
the city of the birds.
