DOCTORS HOPEFUL
OF NOES RECOVERY
They Agree It Is Too Early to
Know Whether Dean Will
Survive Ravages.


MEMPHIS. Tenn, Jan. 25.-Doc-
tors agreed today that it was still
too early to know" whether the Rev.
Israel Harding Noe would recover
from the ravages of % days Of fast
ing.
Considering all circumstances, che
is coming along as we'll as could be
expected" the doctors said, and I'VE
have fair hopes that he will recover" "
The 47-year- clergyman entered
a hospital Sunday night, and an in
travenous injection Of a saline and
glucose solution broke the fast he
began January in the hope of PROV
ing earthly Immortality was possible.
His nurse reported yesterday that
he consumed the juice of six oranges,
ate the pulp, and drank several ounces
Of water. Physicians reported his
heart action as good" his muscular
system as materially atrophied," and
his organic functioning as 'undeter-
mined"
No strenuous objections to the min
istratlons Of physicians were made
by the man who was removed as dean
of fashionable st. Mary's Episcopal
Cathedral by Bishop James NJ. Maxon
who termed Rev. Noes philosophy a
"vagary."
His nurse said he explained his CO.
operation was prompted by desire
to regain his health so he could re-
sumo his program.
