HOPES TO BEAT DEATH; CLAIMS ANE PRESENTED Belief in Inevitable End Is Challenged by French Scientist BOSTON, Mass, Aug. 23.—A is inevitable was laid before Scien- tists of the International Physio- logical Congress today, by Eusidio Hernandez, of the College of France at Paris. Proof exists, he said, that death is not so inescapable as fatalists are taught. Physiologists possess evi- dence to the contrary based on the keeping of single organs alive after deaths of other parts of the body. These were made in 1922 when Prof. J. P. Neymans preserved life of an isolated head for three hours. Recently similar experiments were conducted in Russia. A human heart was kept alive 30 hours by Prof. A. Koubliabko. Others have been able to reestab- lish general circulation. Hernandez asked the' Congress for the formation of a world-wide } Associated Press Phote | Ruth Tromley, ex-model, sued Charies A.

If he seeks distinction he may have it in this luxuriously appoint- ed apartment mansion, for the dis- tinctiveness is assured by the rent | itself. Figures at $3,000 a room, it is the highest rent ever charged for an apartment in New York, and probably the world. ‘The apartment occupies the three top floors of the new 32-story Ho- tel Delmonico, named after the fa- mous old restaurant that is no more. It is at Fifty-ninth Street and Park Avenue. * ' About $20,000 worth of apart- ment is located on the top floor— with 29 windows through which may be seen practically the whole island of Manhattan and a lot of Long Island and New Jerséy be- sides. It consists of a mammoth living rcom—45x17 feet—with an 18-foot vaulted ceiling; two promenades, one 39 feet long, and the other 22; and an attractive, airy little room labeled “vault” in the floor plan, but which, as was pointed out, would make a perfect bar. There is a big fireplace in the drawing room, and a smaller one in one of the promenades. AW AITS TENANT Y $3,000 FOR A ROOM On the ficor below are one din- ing room, 29x17, with a fireplace; a combined kitchen and butler’s pan- try, 41 feet long and with six \windows looking out toward the with built-in book shelves and a fireplace; a butler’s bedroom; and the master’s den, 9x12, the smallest room in the apartment. The bottom floor is given over to five bedrooms, a nursery, and a place for the valet to do his press- {ing. The master's and mistress’ bed- rooms, with a connecting dressing room and pink tiled bath, extend clear across the east side of the building, more than a quarter of a block, and milady’s room has a fireplace. A The three floors are connected |by a private stairway, in addition to which there are three elevators, two for the family and one for tha servants. Some 25 years ago “Bet-a-Mil- lion” Gates, Chicago millionaire, paid $1,000 a month Ior a luxuri- ously furnished apartment with a private elevator, at the Waldorf Astoria, and the whole town looked solemn and raised its eyebrows. But the $45,000 apartment hardly gets a head-shake. For somebody already is paying $36,000 a year for a Park avenue apartment. And —well, what of it?

AMATEUR CRIMINOLOGISTS'S WORK MAY FREE LANSING, Mich., Aug. 23.—A hu- manitarian interest displayed by a Lansing lumberman in a lifer's story of being the vietim of in- justice, may bear fruit after 11 years' pursuit of the truth. And Albert Eichorn hopes that the harvest gained from the unre- lenting efforts of Elmer W. Ham- mond to ascertain the truth may mean his freedom from a life cell in the state prison at Marquette Mich. The story of Albert Eichorn, for- met wealthy Michigan farmer sen- tenced 11 years ago to life im- prisonment for murder, is not new. It has its counterpart in many others that the world has viewed with well-founded skepticism. But the activity of Hammond, Lansing lum- story of the ceaseless' “LIFER” IN MICHIGAN crime, in behalf of the man whom the state courts held was responsi- ble for the death of 18-year-old Beatrice Epler of Alma, Mich., is interesting. | Eichorn stands near the thresh- |old of freedom because of the un- usual interest displayed by Ham- mond, who was neither friend nor acquaintance at the time Eichorn was convicted of first degree mur- der. Impelled by a belief in the doomed man's story of his inno-’ cence Hammond used his own funds, and later enlisted the aid of friends to obtain substantiation of the man’s claim of innocence. He now believes this has been gained through an affidavit from Mrs. Anna Gilson Mimnaugh of Kenosha, Wis., ] mits she perjured herself when tes= tifying against Eichorn 2§ °the star witness of the prosecution. ey
