(Continued from Page D fendants called upon to plead by design of the special prosecutor, appeared in the pink of health in spite of the allegations set forth by MT. Alcorn regarding his, and others parts, in the basis of the grand jury investigation.
 It was the "day in court" for which many of the defendants have been asking, so far as the final adjudication of the presiding justice was concerned. This, al- though nothing was decided be- yond the rebuttaI of the special prosecutor in his attempt to have the trial date set definitely on Oct. 4. This last, however, occurred before the comment to the court by Attorney Murray that he twas ready to so to trial next Monday"
 The courtroom was so quiet that the noise of traffic in the rain on Leavenworth street con- peted with the quiet voices of lawyers and accused for volume. The swish swish of tires of auto- mobiles sometimes pervaded while lawyers made their comment on various portions of the procedure, while discussion of the judge with MT. Alcorn caused various to strain forward in their seats to catch the words.
 This was no melodramatic ar- raignment of a group accused of conspiring to defraud 8 city of large sums, in the sense of the motion picture highlights of such an occasion. Rather, it appeared that the normal channels of liti- gatiOn over some ordinary case were in process of extenuation, mild objection, formation in &C., cord with legal procedure.
 Busily engaged in taking notes, a dozen newspapermen wrote hur- riedly at the press table in the center of the space in front of Judge Inglis. Gone was the breath less interest in the statements of the prosecutor when he, alone, was presenting the case to the court. Rather, there was atten- tion to the several members of the defendants group of lawyers who presented the only aspect of change from the situation whcih existed before the grand jury measures had been offered and in- terpreted by their author in solo capacity.
 The moot question, tritely, was whether one of the number would plead guilty, whether MT. Alcorn would succeed, as he has remarked publicly he would try, in obtain ing an immediate trial, at any rate, a date for such a trial.
 This was the defendants day in court, the expressions of numer- Ous lawyers in the courtroom's jury box showed.
 The latter was developed as the procedure by which nearly all of the defendanst will answer charges against them of the Alcorn- -con- spiracy category. But Lawyer James D. c. Murray placed the lieutenant governor in a solo capacity when, as attorney for Mayor Hayes, he told Judge Ing lis that his client was ready to go to trial Monday" three days from today.
 This separation of the man that Prosecutor Alcorn iias chosen to lead the list o defendants in his granl jury report from the 3l others named in charges, the score censured for alleged participation in an alleged mulcting of cityy funds, created the surprise ele- ment in today's proceedings and left Prosecutor Alcorn obviously at loss to continue his defeated ap- peal to the judge to set a date for the trial"

Words

Shakespeare had the greatest
vocabulary in history. 1t was re-
markedly rich and exhibited most
of the language resources of his
time. Prof, Albert Cook in his
"Study of English" says that
Shakespeare employed about d.
600 words; others say $4,000 or
$4,000. But the number of words
in the rapidly expanding vocabu-
larry of modern times greatly ex-
ceeds that of Shakespeare's day.
The total number of entries in the
new Webster's dictionary is 600,-
900. The average well-educated
individual uses from 5000 to 5000
different words.

indianapolis. The myster-
les of life, death, and con-
seriousness have been probed
by the surgeons scalpel and
electrical impulses in the
brain itself.
The seat of human consciousness
and with it the ability to speak is
located in the brain's artery in the
left front side of the head, DR.. Will
liam H. Thompson, of the Munic-
ipal University of Omaha, told the
American Association for the Adj
vancement of Science here; after re-
viewing heroic operations per-
formed by brain surgeons. Amaz-
ingly large amounts of a PERSONS
brain can be removed if necessary
without seemingly affecting his abil-
ity to lead a normal life and carry
on his business.
The right cerebral hemisphere of
the brain, for instance, has been re-
moved with no observable perma-
nent loss of the higher mental proc
esses. Surgeons knives have whit
tied away other portions of hui
man gray matter, previously
thought essential in the control of
mental functions, and the patients
hardly knew anything had happened
to them.
But if the left anterior cerebral
artery is injured by any chance,
DR.. Thompson warned, the patient
can never regain consciousness.
This area and the flow of blood
seems linked with the problem of
conscious existence itself. Scien-
lists are now searching for some
practical way of studying these new
aspects of the age-old problem of
relationship between mind and
body.
To the mysteries of the pulsating
electrical impulses beaten out of the
brain, death itself has given clue.
DR.. P. S. Shurrager Of the Univer-
sity of Illinois reported that the
origin of the brain waves is shown
in the records of the death process.
In the democracy of death the
lower creatures such as fish, frog
and toad become like the higher
animals. the guinea pig, cat and
dog, in the electrical responses OF
their brains. From this fact, DR..
Shurrager infers that the brains
electrical waves have their origin
in the very life processes of the
cells of the brain.
Each single cell in the brain
may in the course Of it's life process
create electrical impulses which are
added together algebraically to Gre
ate the complex brain waves broad
cast from the brains surface, Dr.
Shurrager indicated.
