His coat wleeves rippled constantly, even when his gestures were confined ta short jerks of his hands. Didn't any of the statements of fact made by these psychlatrists give you an idea as to the mental condi- tion of these defendants?” shouted Mr. Darrow. “I would say no, outside of the commission of the crime,” replied Dr. Singer. Now, doctor, you said a_split per- sonality was no evidence of a mental divorder” asked the attorney, but a half dozen more questions ufter Dr. Singer had replicd “No” led to an ad- mission that “a split personality may be a sign of disease.” Witness Remains Calm, Dr. Singer remained calm under Mr. Darrow's galling cross-fire of auestions.” The witness refused to be hastened Into replies, and once hav- ing started a reply, Insisted it be car- ried through before Mr. Darrow put in others. A sdcore of other questions and answers regarding a “split person- ality” covered pretty well the same ground préviously gone over. Once Mr. Crowe interrupted with an objection to Mr. Darrow reading from books about split personalities, insisting the writers be put on the stand for cross-examination. Judge Caverly overruled him, howgever. A series of questions as to what is “memory” obtained unsatisfactory answers, Dr. Singer insisting his questioner be “more specific,” but finally admitting that “in all prob- ability” it results from “some phys- ical effect on the nerv The matter of the “split person- ality” provided a half hundred more questions and answers. Dr. Singer said that the fact a per- son forgot a name did not necessarily mean he had a split personality, but instead mizht mean that he was grow- ing old. “What other names do they use for ‘split personality’>” asked Mr. Dar- row. *Oh, phantasie: mannerisms, the: split personality.” was the repl Mr. Darrow asked if anything that happened to any nerve was not carried to the brain, and Dr. Singer replied that every nerve was not directly con- nected with the brain, some working indirectly, but, of course, ultimately . delusions, illusions, are all evidence of | reaching the brain. Mr. Darrow engaged Dr. an argument about ner ete. Fmotion was reached in the cross- examination, and Mr. Darrow and the s Mr. Darrow in oft Singer blocking tried to force answers, “You spoke about emotions as dis- tinguished from intellectual activities, what does the emotional activity come from?" asked Mr. Darrow “The need of living matter to main- tain itself,” was the reply. “The psy- chological side of emotion means the feeling, but anger, for instance, is be- yond a state of feeling of mind as it becomes a feeling of the whole body." “Are emotions a part of the mind?" asked Mr. Darrow. “Yes, a part,” was the reply. “Is there a difference between an emotional reaction and an intellectual emotion?” was asked. “l don't believe we can separate them, because at certain stages there are emotions without any intellect at all, but when intellect develops it becomes a part of the mind, and we cannot separate it,”" was the reply. “Did you make any distinction as to the boys' emotional and intellectual re- actions?” Darrow asked. “Yes, sir,” was the reply. “Was the reaction of Loeb's re- marks, “Oh, my God, I don’t know why .l did it a display of emotion?” questioned Mr. Darrow. ‘Yes, with possibly some intellect,” replied the witness Is't emotion supposed to be in- stinctive and not within the realm of the will?" asked Mr. Darrow, and brought the reply : “I don't count the will represents the state when we are ready to act.

Mr. Darrow read from a book writ- ten by Dr. Singer, asking if devotion of seven pages of split personality did not mean that he attached great importance to the effect of split per- sonality on mentality. Dr. Singer maintained that he had dealt with one type of person, “schizophrenic” and the attorney® and witness got tangled up in misunderstood ques- tion and unintelligible answers. It took 10 minutes to get each to under- stand preciscly what the other meant. “Are you sure you are not trying to avold us?" interjected Mr. Darrow. “W, you try to find out,” re- turned the doctor. The same stumbling block of mis- understanding was encountered when Mr. Darrow tried to find out at what age the schizophrenic person was most likely to develop a peychosis, or mental instability. “During the years of adoliscence” Dr. Singer finally replied. There were more accusations and details of intentional evasion when Mr. Darrow let out “Ah, you finally got to it, didn't you? Dr. Singer agreed with the state- ment of Dr. Archibald Church, State alienist, that insanity was most likely to occur at the age of adolescence. Schizophrenia, meaning the inclina- tlon of parts of the personality to split off, is more likely to develop into psychosis (new legal term for insanity) in intelligent persons than in ordinary person The hearing was recessed at noon until 10:30 am.

PEKING, August 16.—The cessation of rains the past week has resulted in levels of the rivers in Chihli prov- ince remaining stationary, with the exception of two points, where there was a slight rise in the waters. No additional floods have been reported and much of the flood area is drain- ing. A belated report from Hengchowfu, Hunan province, says the flood was .the worst known.: Villages along the rivers south of the city are in ruins while in Hengchowfu 1,000 houses were inundated. It is impossible to estimate the damage in the provinces, due to the lack of details contained in the Chinese official reports, The International Relief Commis- sfon anticipates much distress in the Fall and Winter and in the meantime is not distributing relief.

The father, accompanied by the youth’s brother and sister, came to the jail for the first time since Emil's arrest. & “When your mother and T begged you to give up your bad habits and be our boy again, what did you do?

Ziegfeld ad- mits the success of Green's latest idea. HEIGHT NOT DUE CLIMATE. Tall Races of Men Found in Tropics as Well as Temperate Zones. From London Answers It is often sald that the tallest people, are found in the temperate zones, and the general idea is that the English and the Scandinavians re the tallest races in the world. f, however, you go carefully into the figures you will find that this is not the case. The average height of English, Scots, and Scandinavians is the same. A full-grown man of cach race aver- ages 5 feet 72.5 inches in height. The Irish are a fraction of an inch shorter, and next come Danes and Bel- gians. But these are not the tallest races. In the matter of inches the records are held by Zulus, Iroquois Indians, Palynesians and Patagonians. The last, the tallest race in the world, average 5 feet 10 1-3 inches. Now te Zulus live in a semi-tropical climate, the Iroquois in a temperate one, the Polynesians in some of the hottest parts of the world, whije the Patagonians inhabit the Homn of South America, one of the coldest and most miserable places on earth. In remarkable contrast to the Pata- gonians are the Laplanders, who, re- siding almost on the Arctic circle, are the shortest race on earth, a grown man being only seven-tenths of an inch over five feet. ‘The more one studies the matter the more puzzling it becomes, but one point seems clear enough—that cli- mate and lattitude have nothing whatever to do with height. Food and fresh alr, indeed, have more to do with the developnient of the individual than climate, as is proved by the fact that everywhere the farm laborer is taller than the artisan. A striking example of this is pro- vided by Scotland, laborer is 4 pounds heavier than the average Glasgow artisan. _Again, the fishing population of the Yorkshire coast ex- cecd the Sheffield workers by 3 inches in height and 2¢ pounds in weight. CHANGING IDEA OF GOD. Cisistopler Morley in the Century Magazine. | The theological bickerings of our time_and their “tincture of choler, as Hobbes would say, are due per haps to the uneven progress of a| great shift in the human notion of God. The primitive imagination of Deity is often of a giganfic omnipotent and omnipresent personality. Then, later, men come to think of God as a kind of force or law, or a harmony among infinite laws and forces. This process of magnifying God from a person to a “far-off divine event” proceeds un- where the farm!' inches taller and 36 St. Peter's Church is the largest and most imposing Christian church in the worid, but is not conceded to the architectural beauty of Taj The approach o it is through an open space, the Piazza di_ San Pletro, which is elliptical in form. covers several acres and is surround- ed by colonnades or covered drive- ways. In the center of this piazza stands a red granite obelisk 80 feet in height, which was brought from Egypt in the days of Caligula, but was not crected here until the six- teenth century, when the church was in_process of construction. About the walls on the interior of the church there are altars. chapels, tombs and fnnumerable works of art, while beneath the center of the dome rises the high altar, at which only the Pope or a specially authorized' cardinal may officiate; and above this towers the gerat bronze canopy, 95 feet in height. The total cost of the building is estimated at about $50,000,000, and considerable difficulty was experienced in raising this sum. BLOSSOM CALLED MAGIC. Superstitious Still May Flower as Though Sacred. From the Daltimore Sun. The May blossom is the subject of some curious superstitions. Both the black and white thorn are said to be descended from the thorn of India, which, being sprung from lightning, is not only immune from from danger in a thunderstorm, but possesses many magical gifts, a recent writer says. The leaves from it are belleved by many people to be a cure for all cases of inflamma- tion, while a bough of blossom hung at the door is a safeguard against witches, but the blossom should not be taken Into the house lest it bring disease with it. Many old countrymen will not cut down a hawthorn bush. They do not know why, though actually they are perpetuating an_old belief that the bush is sacred, because from it, it is said, the crown of thorns was made. Revere FRANCE TO RECALL ALL RUHR TROOPS BY AUGUST 15, 1925, CONFEREES AGREE (Continued from First Page.) situation to prevent Herriot's over- throw and worse terms.

A profes- sor at the Sorhonne declared that wireless is likely to be employed for superior education. But for the Paris “niversity it cannot be seen as any- thing but a nonessential. There would be no great advantage for the Paris students to follow their classes by wireless when they can hear them from the professors them- selves. Wireless classes could only be useful for the stulents of pro- vincial faculties, who would thus re- ceive the same lesson, at the same hour, as their Paris comrades. that would mean that in this case the professors of provincial facul- tiea would not be needed any more, and there we touch a very delicate problem—restriction in® the recruit- ing_of teachers Wireless _tranmission of courses would require special personnel and particular care. It is thought, too, that it is necessary for the student to be in contact with the lecturer, who often needs to repeat things— which the wireless could not do—and his class must be alive—and the wire- less is lifeless. And how could lab- oratory courses be given? In short, the professor at the Sorbonne does not believe in the practical applica- tion of wireless telephony to superior education.
