NEW ORLEANS, Januafy 7.—Wil- taken in custody e arrival of officers from Philadelphia, where heé is said to bhe wanted on several charges. Police say he has confessed to a number of crimes. Tiring of a career of crime, Russell sent a telegram to Philadelhpia au- thorities which he hoped would lead to his arrest. The plan was suc- cessful. Russell's story, told to the police, related a series of crlmes. starting it February, 1924, with a girl of 17, chance acquaintance, whose name he says he does not know, as a part- ner. He told of robbing two chain stores and engaging in a pistol battle with the police in which he and a policeman were wounded. The girl, sasd Russell, Jost her nerve, and de- serted, being arrested later. Russell made his way to New Jer- sey and then to Canada, he savs. where he read In a Philadelphia Acwspaper ad account of his suicide. Dumb Man Speaks Plainly by Aid of Artificial Larynx Ability to Utter Sound Restored Suddenly After Years at N. Y. Clinic. Speclal Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, January 7.—A man who had been dumb for years spoke before a group of physicians and medical students at the Vanderbilt clinfc, Tenth avenue and Sixtleth street. He had no larynx, it having been removed long ago in an operation to cure cancer, yet he uttered perfect speech. It was the first demonstration in this clty of the man-made larynx pro- duced by sclence after 18 years of ex- periments. When the patient was brought in, efforts to speak brought no sound ex- cept a sighing. An intake pad con- nected with a small rubber tube was placed over the aperture in his throat. He placed the tube in his mouth and began a conversation, in which his volce differed from a normal one only in that it was in monotone and slight- Iy guttural The device consists of a pad fast- ened over the orifice In the neck through which the patient breathes, and a sound box about the size of a pipe near the end of the rubber tube, which is held in the mouth. The sound box contains the artificial larynx, which stimulates the vocal cords. Alr is forced from the lungs through the tube and into the sound box, where it is set into vibration and the vibra- tions carried through the tube into the speaker's mouth. There the words are formed. The throat orifice is sur- glcally prepared by bringing the up- per end of the windpipe forward into the wound. gt GROCERS OPPOSING PACKERS’ PROPOSAL File Protest to Vacating Decree ‘Which Divorces Meat Industry From Unallied Activities. The National Wholesale Grocers® As- sociation yesterday filed in the District Supreme Court its opposition to the vacating of the consent decree by which the “big five” packing concerns agreed with the Department of Jus- tice to divorce the meat industry from all unallied activities. The association contends that the packers waived a hearing and trial and consented to the decree in Feb- ruary, 1920, with their eyes open and are bound by its terms and may not now attack its validity. The decree should be looked on as a binding business contract, says the associa- tion, between the packers and the Government, and cannot be set aside without the consent of all parties thereto. Justice Hoehling will hear the mo- tion next Monday of the Department of Justice to strike out certain para- graphs of the petition of the Califor- nia Co-operative Canneries, which, through Attorney Frank J. Hogan, is seeking to set aside the decree in which it is joined by the Swift and Armour group of the packers. The Government claims certain para- graphs of the petition are “imperti- nent and scandalous” and should be stricken from the record. After that motlon is disposed of the United States is expected to answer the petition, or so much of it remaining, and then a date will be set for the hearing on the question of setting aside the con- sent decree. iBeware the * Cough or Cold That Hangs On | 1 | ‘ Chronic coughs and persistent | colds lead to serious lung trouble.
