Already two fiormal tests have con- vinced many, ofticials that the serum will work, ‘But more tests are plan- ned to demonstrate beyond a aoubt the efticacy of the drug. The active basis of the drug is rcopolamin, the substance used to in- duce “twilight sleep,” an aid to pain- less childbirth. Its mental effect seems to be producing paralysis of imagination, rendering the patient in- capable of telling anything but ihe truth, Voluntary Subjects Subjects for the recent tests in the county jail here submitted themselves votuntarily for the experiments. The tests were carried out under the su- pervision of prison officials and physi- cians, One of the subjects was W., S. Scrivner, convicted ;2f complicity in a postoffice robbery here. A dose of the drug was injected into Scrivner's arm and District Attorney Maury Hughes questioned him. “Did you tob Guy’s pharmacy?” the district attorney asked. “No, I don’t even know where it is.” Scrivner was sentenced to prigon for this robbery, but always’ had maintained his innocence. “Who robbed the Hondo Bank?” the district attorney continued. ‘Scrivner gave the names of five men, While conscious he had refus- ed to give this information. ‘Denies Murder The other test subject.was Walter Smith, negro, accused: of murder. The district attorney questioned Smith regarding the murder with which he has: been charged. Smith maintained: hig innocence. “He told a clearer story under the influence of the drug than when con- scious,” Hughes ‘sald. “If witnesses against him do not give more informa- tion at the preliminary hearing, I shall: dismiss the murder charge.” Physicians. who witnessed the tests declare that further tests will reveal startling deve'opments — that the truth serum may be the greatest med- MORE TESTS ARE PLANNED IN EFFORT T0 PROVE SUCCESS OF “TRUTH SERUM” IN HANDLING CROOKS Administering “Truth Serum” to W. §&.

He was present at the tests. Expla‘ns Discover: ‘Here's how he tells of Kis discov- ery: 2 “I noticed women under the influ. ence of. twilight ‘sleep would tell things without stimulation of the imagination. “They'd tell only what they were asked and the will to invent things seemed -paralyzed. I made several tests. I became convinced of the value of scopolamin as a legal aid.” District Attorney Hughes is opti- mistic over the outcome of the tests. “While » alcohol, chloroform and ether induce talkativeness, the pa- tient only raves in a sort of temporary insanity,” Hughes says. “This ‘truth serum’ has an opposite efect. Instead of talking at random the patient speaks only when he is spoken to. “T'm cnvinced the experiments were of Walue. If we can buy truth in bot- tles and inject it into criminals’ veins, the lie—the criminal’s best defense— will be useless!” DEPLETION OF FUND CHARGED Attorney General Says Drainage Fund Money. Gone Depletion of the appropriation made by the legislature for the Brose- cution of the North Dakota-Minnesota drainage case through expenditure by former Attorney General Williatn Lemke of half the fund for other purpcses has given Attorney General Johnson the problem of finding other ways to finance the fight. ‘ The last eesston of the legistature appropriated $10,000 for the state's expense in the suit, which involyes a miNion dollars and, includes demand by North Dakota that the state of Minnesota ‘takes eteps td prevent flooding of thousands of acres of land in southeastern North Lakota. It hag been learned that Mr. Lemke paid $2,- 946.10 to Karl Knox Gartner, attorney in the rate case. and $1,635.22 to Seth Richardson, attaggey in tht’ grain grading case; out c? the drainage ap- propriation, exhaustirg about half of the fund. : The drainage case is pending in-the supreme court of the United ‘States |The supreme court heard arguments and ordered further testimony %e taken on means to be adopted hy Min- nesota to avoid the flooding of Nort1 Dakota lands. Attorney General Johnson and Minnesota representa- {tives want to take tig testimony in Oakland changes that are noteworthy. in the line of cars shown for the first time at:this year’s shows, are two- ‘old in character. ‘They include strik- mg changes in the outward appear- ance, which is more individual, moré dashing than ever before, and most important changes in motor devélop- nent, which will be much appreciat- ad,. though they are less apparent to the eye than the changes in the body. lines, The crank case in the 1922 Oakland Ig entirely new, heavier and thicker’ than before. The cylinder head de- sign is changed, too, and an import- ‘nt feature of the new type is. its dasy removal when necessary, giving nusual accessibility to the working arts of the motor. Loosening 12 bolts and disconnecting the ‘carbure- or permits the cylinder head to be ifted up, with intake and exhaust ianifold attached. The front housing for timing drive is heavier “this year—reducing' the chance cf vibration and drumming, ef- fect. Additional insurance of «quiet motor opération is given by the use of the silent Morse chain drive, This drives the camshaft and the generator, making for silence, and assures long maintenance of adjustment. In. the event of perceptible wear and result- ant slack in the chain,'a very simple movement of the front of the genera ‘tor housing permits the slack to be taken up in 3 to 5 minutes. The ebain drive can easly be kept ‘at the proper tension for its lifetime.’ A removable link gives additional means ‘of: keep- ing the tension right.

The Capitol | One of the big pictures of the year will be shown at Capitol theater on Monday. This is a visualization of David Belasco’s famous stage produc- tio, “The Heart.of Maryland.” The play was a:phenomenal success, but the film ‘has achieved even greater triumph, for with the camera it is pos- sible to obtain scenes, locations and settings that could not be reproduced with painted canvas. e Tom. Terriss, ‘who, directed the pro- duction, hag made every effort to pro- duce a picture which would have a historic value and be: of interest to the pupils of the public schools. He has secured for this purpose many au- thentic. roles in the conflict between 1861-1865. He used such sites as The Briars, General Grant’s ‘headquarters; the mansion in which Jefferson Davis was| married and where great balls were’ given in honor cf,Henry Clay. For the chapel scenes-he secured a location where a famous traitor was tried. This chapel és one of ithe historic places of the south, but ‘has long since fallen into decay, and’is given over to. col- ored people» as,a place of worship.

The Bryan mansion, which has been idle and devoid of activity most of the time since the Commoner changed his residence to Florida, recently was visited by representatives of the board of relief of the church. The members reported the home; admir- ably suited for this purpose and would accommodate about. 40 patients after been made. Henry B. Master, one of the members of the board, ‘said it would report on the offer when the board returned to Philadelphia. This board represents the Presby- terian church of the north, The pro- posal suggested the use of the home as an infirmary for patients from China and Japan. Far Eastern mis- sionaries and teachers of the. church, incapacitated in service, now are sent +! to hospitals farther ‘east, members of the board stated. Mr. Bryan is reported to have at one time. offered to sell part of this land but the home and ten acres were reserved.
