Gold Ruling Put Off
Until February 4th
As Court Recesses
By the Associated Press.


The Supreme Court recessed
today until February 4 without
ruling on the constltutionality Of
gold payment suspension legisla-
ton.
A decision on that date was
generally expected.
The question is whether the
Government acted with cOnsti-
tutional authority when, in going
off the gold standard. it wiped
out the clause calling for the pay
ment of about s100,000.000,000 Of
obligations in gold or its equiva-
lent
Whether the court will split up
along the familiar "liberal-con-
servative" lines is a subject of
much speculation. While no one
except the justices themselves can
know how the decision will go,
past cases LED some observers to
believe that Justices BrandeiS,
Stone and Cardozo might be
more apt to uphold abrogation
of the clause than Justices Van
Devanter, McReynolds, Suther-
land and Butler.

Infection Causing HO-Degree
Temperature Fatal to Boy, IA

An infection of unknown origin
that sent the body temperature to ITO
degrees-an extraordinary height
caused the death yesterday of John
Lee Hyatt, 14-year-old student of Paul
Junior High School and son of Carl
B. Hyatt, attorney in the Department
Of Justice.
Young Hyatt was stricken with a
high fever Thursday, and, after a
consultation of physicians, he was
taken to the Homeopathic Hospital,
DR.. William Arthur Shannon dag
nosed the case as streptococcus in
fection, which usually results from a
wound. 1t was this type of infection,
resulting from a chafed blister on the
foot, that caused the death of Calvin
Coolidge, jr.
No injuries of any kind could be
found on the body of the Hyatt boy,
however. His temperature rose rapid
ly. DR.. Shannon said today the fever
reached lo71s degrees Saturday.

The temperature chart at the hos
pital shows that yesterday the youths
temperature shot up to ITO degrees.
Nurses at the hospital got identical
readings with several thermometers,
which were known to be accurate.
The temperature was taken in several
ways and the results always were the
same.
Medical annals are said to record
a few cases of temperatures as high
as ITO degrees-Such figures some
times resulting from Sunstroke.
Blood tranfusion was resorted to in
a desperate effort to curb the infec-
tion, but in vain.
The boys body will be taken to

Karpis IS a co-leader of the gang

the two men are bottled up in At

to acquire more clothing to divert
suspicion. and asked that warning
be broadcast to clothing store oper-

from two women companions seized in
the raid on a little hotel. The women
were listed as Dolores Delaney, 81, and
