By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December l5.-The
prospects for continuance Of the
Bankhead control act, next year and
relatively nrm Liverpool cables were
reflected by advances in cotton in the
early trading today. Realizing and
Southern selling caused reactions and
the market closed steady at net de-
clines Of 2 points on January and
October, while other months were
unchanged to 3 points higher.
The opening was to points higher
in response to relatively firm Liver
pool cables and reports that farmers
yesterday were voting 10 to in favor
OF continuing the Bankhead act dur
ing 1885. Profit taking was prompted
by an advance Of to . points and
prices reacted after the more urgent
demand had been supplied with later
fluctuations rather irregular. The re-
latively easy tone of January was at
tributed to liquidation partly from
abroad. while yesterdays reduction in
the October discount evidently at
tracted some selling Of that position

The amount Of cotton on shipboard
awaiting clearance was estimated at

AUBURNDALE, Mass, December is
/ P).-Commodity prices at the end of
/ the second week in December showed
a very moderate downward trend
This slight downward movement was
caused principally by the agricultural
and live stock groups, as industrial
products moved upward quite gener-
ally, in line with seasonal improve
ment in industrial activity. Out of
IA individual groups registered ad-
vances, 4 declined and 4 remain un-
changed from last week
Industrial products increased fur
ther during the past week due prin-
| cipally to higher prices for hides, lum-
| Der, steel scrap and certain fine tex
! tiles.
Farm Prices Decline.
Agricultural prices registered the
| first decline, although only very slight,
since the first week in october. This
| was due to quite a substantial de-
| crease in the price of corn, as we'll as
oats, rye, eggs, fiaxSeed and butter.
| This decrease more than offset slight
| increases in such items as wheat, cot
| ton, hay and beans.
Live stock prices recorded another
downward trend during the past week.
Increases in hogs and sheep were not
! strong enough to Offset decreases in
cattle and lambs.
Building material prices showed
quite a substantial increase due en-
tirely to higher lumber quotations.
Hide and leather prices also record
ed a substantial gain due to another
| 12-cent increase in the price Of hides
and a cent increase in union sole
! leather.
Ferrous metals have moved up very
! gradually for two consecutive weeks.
This increase was due entirely to steel
scrap prices.
Fine Textiles Higher.
Fine textiles showed a considerable
gain during the week just closed. This
was caused by slight increases in cot
! ton and a further strengthening in
cotton yarns and silk The most i'm
portant change in this group was
noted in rayon yarns which for the
first time since last May have ad-
vanced. This advance took place
principally in the viscose yarns
amounting to anywhere from to 3
cents.
Non-ferrous metal prices moved
downward slightly due to lower quo
| tations for silver and tin. The other
group which recorded decrease was
coarse textiles

His experiments indicate the virus
spreads from tie intestinal tract OF
the human body by way of the gray
fibers of the sympathetic nervous sys-
tenn to the chain of nerves that runs
down either side of the spine and
from there first to the loins and then
upward to the neck.
Peak Comes With Typhoid.
He points out that deaths from the
paralysis each year reach their peak
at a time that comedies closely with
prevalence of dysentery and typhoid
fever, both intestinal diseases. In
regions where paralysis prevails these
diseases are relatively rare, with the
result that few have immunity. In
Southeastern United States where in

most other sections, infantile paraly-
sis is not prevalent.

PARALYSIS DATA

Public Health Expert Sent
to Study Outbreak in
California.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The question of whether infantile
paralysis germs are breathed or swal-
lowed, important as regards preven-
tion of spread of the disease, may
come nearer positive solution through
the outbreak now prevalent in Cali
fornia.
The Public Health Service, anxious
to gather every crumb of new knowl-
edge about the disease, is dispatching
its infantile paralysis expert, DR.. J,
P. Leake, to Los Angeles for an in
tensive study of the cases that have
been increasing steadily since early
in May.
The Public Health Service officially
refers to the California cases as a
sharp outbreak"
There have been $40 cases in CAL
ifornia since May 5. when the sharp
increase above the normal number of
cases first became noticeable. In the
week ending June Is, last, for which
statistics are available, 273 new cases
were reported There was exactly
the same number the previous week
Nowhere outside California are there

tered about Los Angeles County.
Invisible Virus Blamed.
The newest medical theory about
infantile paralysis is that it is caused
by combination of a virus, an Or
ganism too small to be seen under the
microscope, and poisons produced by
bacteria that live in the inteStineS OF
most humans
The infantile paralysis virus enters
the body by the way of the mouth,
and reacts with the intestinal facteria
when it is swallowed, says DR.. John A.
Toomey of Cleveland in a report to

He believes immunity against the
disease can be produced by immunity

DENVER, June 25.-In accordance
with his death-bed request, the body
of Charles S. Thomas, former United
States Senator from Colorado and
ardent silver champion, will be Gre
mated, probably tomorrow.
The 84-year ex-senator asked
that no funeral services be held and
that his body be cremated, a son,
George K. Thomas, said.
Before he died yesterday. Thomas
asked that persons who might want
to send floral pieces to his bier con-
tribute the money instead to charity
Thomas capped stormy career as
Senator and Governor of Colorado by
defying President Roosevelts 1888
order against gold boarding.
Refused to Take Food.
His life had been ebbing for weeks,
and many times he had expressed
willingness to die Once he pushed
away a meal set before him by his
daughter, Miss Edith Thomas, and
said: why should I eat? l am ready
to die"
Though a Democrat all his life.
Thomas frequently clashed with lead
crs of his party He termed "un-
democratic" the powers given Frank
lin D Roosevelt as President and in
the Wilson administration opposed
United States participation in the
League of Nations and Versailles
treaty.
He had retired from active political
life last year when the President
called for the surrender of gold to the
Treasury, in connection with the ma
tional banking crisis. Thomas acquired
more gold than the law allowed. and
defied the Government to seize his
'hoard" of S120.
II have qualified for the peni-
tentiary and am at your service" he
wrote to prosecuting authorities.
Daughter Was Indicted.
His hoard" was ignored. but later
his daughter was indicted for gold
boarding and Thomas announced he
would help defend her on the ground
the order deprived citizens of their
property without due process of law
and therefore was unconstitutional
This case is pending
Thomas sought INCREASINGLY during
his term in the Senate from 1913 to
1921, to have silver rehabilitated as a
currency base.
He was born in Darien. Ga. Decem-
Der 6, i849, but came to Colorado in
1871.
Surviving are his daughter, Miss
Edith Thomas; his widow. Mrs Emma
Fletcher Thomas; three sons, George.
Charles Sewell and Hubert F. Thomas
Of Denver, and two grandchildren,
Elizabeth Malburn, Chicago. and
Charles Thomas Malburn, New York.
The grandchildren were children of
