By the Auocllm Presu. - NEW ~ YORK, December 13.—Dr. Willlam Z. Kumler, 65, who began a fast of indefinite duration on.Novem- jber 26, rested at the end of a,ten- mile walk today, the seventéenth day vince he has eaten, to tell of his the- ory of preventing typhold fever by ab- stentlon from food. Sxplaining that at the end of his fifth day of fasting he had displayed all the symptoms of a light, or “walk- ing” case of typhoid fever, Dr. Kum- ler advanced the theory that such a self-imposed state should act as a permanent inoculation against the disease which, he declared, never at- tacked the same individual twice. He said that the typhoid was a disease of the alimentary canal and that much the same condition induced by the ailment was produced by total ab- stinence from food. Dr. Kumler asserted that his senses were becoming more acute with each day of his fast, and he attributed this to the fact that various organs of his body, freed from much of thelr nor- mal burden, were able now to reaét to outside stimyll with more vigor. Cold winds do not chill’ him as much as they did when he was on a full diet, he declared. and although he was losing welght at an average of half a pound a day, he pronounced himself more physically fit than at the beginning of the fast. Dr. Kumler will fast for at least 21 days, he said, and for as much longer as “seemed expedient.’ BANK 1S CLOSED BY CROP FAILURES Heavy Withdrawals Blamed for Condition of * Culpeper Institution.

By the Associated Pres: SANTIAGO, Chile, December 18.— The political crisis here was solved today when the governmental junta accepted the resignation of the. cab- inet and announced the organisation of a new ministry. The military Junta decided to express adheslon to the governing junta and to disband after the formation of a new cabinet The navy supported the governmental junta in the crisis. Messages from the northern prov- inces this afternoon’ announce that the state railway men in the northern zone, comprising four provinces north of Valparaiso, have been on strike since morning. The definite. causes and importance of the strike were not indicated. Tt is asserted, how- ever, that one reason. for calling it was to protest against the military regime. ~ N The present Chilean crisis ap- parently was brought about through the recent dismissal of Col. Bwing as commander of carabineros or mili- tary police. Col. Ewing was one of the most prominent members of the military junta. This junta decided yesterday that a change of adminis- tration was necessary because of the action taken against Ewing. The gravity of the sitation forced a number of prominent citizens of Santfago to intervene in an effort to reach a compromise. These efforts were facilitated by the attitude taken by the navy, whose chiefs from Valparaiso advised they would sup- port an organized government where- in the military junta would mot be necessary.
