FAMED SCIENTIST IS RESEARCH MARTYR Dr. Abraham Zingher Killed by Gas When He Falls Asleep in His Laboratory. Bu United Press NEW YORK, June 6.—Dr. Abraham Zingher, Internationally known bacteriologist, died Sunday, a martyr to science. While making an experiment in search of a preventive for scarlet fever, Dr. Zingher, apparently exhausted by long hours of laboratory research, fell into a doze. A rubber hose became disconnected from its Bunsen burner, while the scientist slept. The flame went out and the gas poured from the hose into the laboratory, in the opinion of associates at Willard Parker hospital, where the laboratory Is located. His body was found in a chair in a posture indicating that he had been asleep.-

Above the burner was a test tube, containing residue which indicated that a liquid had been heated while the doctor slept. Mrs. Anna Zingher, 31, the scientist’s widow, explained that her husband often worked until he was exhausted completely, and that he never appeared to be sufficiently fested. She said he often slept in his chair when fatigued, and, when refreshed, would continue his work. In 1913 Dr. Zingher was acclaimed by the medical world for his work in helping to prevent the infantile paralysis epidemic. He became even more famous following the war because of his work in the Schick test, which resulted in preventive measures to halt dip! theria among school children. In addition to his recent experiments with scarlet fever preventives, Dr. Zingher also was working on a cure and preventive for rheumatism, | and an immunizer against measles. | Dr. Zingher was graduated from ! Cornell University medical school in 1900. In 1913 he was awarded the degree of doctor of public health by New York University. He served in the A. E. F. during the war. He is survived by his widow and four children. BALLARD I, U. ORATOR Challenges Grads to Meet Opportunity With Capacity. Bn Times Special BLOOMINGTON, IND., June 6.

SOVIET FAILING THRU RED TAPE, COMMISSAR SAY Burden of Personnel Terrific Strain on Russ Government. Bu United Pcs* MOSCOW, Russia, June 6.—The great Soviet Russian experiment is strangling on paper. Red tape is threatening the “red” republic, according to Scygei Orjanikidse, of the Council of People's Commissars. Suspicion, dislike of responsibility and the system of checks and balances have built up a corps of clerks, officials, bureaucrats and inspectors under which the life of Russia is choking. Orjanikidse said. In four years since 1923 the number of state employes in Moscow has jumped up from 48,000 to 103,000 and throughout the Soviet Union the governmental employes and bureaucrats have increased by more than 80,000 persons. Savings Lose The burden of this added pay roll eats up the saving which might be possible between wholesale and retail costs of goods, he declared, and keeps the cost of living high. He also revealed that, in spite of state monopolies over every phase of life, fierce competition between I the state organizations continues, piling up costs of administration 1 and duplication of effort. “Too Many Banks” “We have too many banks,” he said. ‘Finance is a monopoly of government but in some towns we have six or eight banks all competing terrifically against each other where one bank would be sufficient.” Although the numerous banks, like other business projects, are under direct government orders, they struggle against dissolution as if they were private concerns fighting for their existence. This is because the staffs of organizations marked for this continuance are afraid they will be without jobs. SIEVE MOVE NEARS Arguments on Writ Expected Shortly. Arguments in Supreme Court on D C. Stephenson's attempt to win release from Indiana State Prison on a write of habeas corpus are expected soon. John H. Kiplinger, Rushville attorney for Stephenson, today filed an answer to Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliom's brief for the State. The habeas corpus, aiked on grounds that because the Marion County clerk failed to sign the transcript when the Stephenson murder case was venued to Hamilton County the Hamilton Circuit Court was without jurisdiction and the life term given Stephenson Is void, was denied in La Porte Circuit Court and appealed. The Supreme Court is expected to set the argument date soon as Kiplinger has lied a plea for an early hearing. ALBANIA IS CENSURED Jugo-Slavia Severs Diplomatic Relations.

Sixearnest citizens of Grant County, convened as a special grand jury today to consider the degree of murder of a crime for money—the poisoning of 12-year-old Clifford Cox, charged to Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Walser at Fairmount. in the hope they would benefit by $445 in insurance. Mr. and Mrs. Walser have confessed the poisoning and indicated their willingness to plead guilty, in the hope of leniency. Chief interest rested in whether the grand jury would believe Mrs. Walser's pica that she was forced to poison Clifford, her cousin, by fear that if she didn't, her husband would kill their two-months- old baby. Edward C. Hays, the youthful prosecuting attorney, will ask indictments for first degree murder against both husband and wife. The grand jury may use its cvn judgment and it was possible that while it would charge first degree murder against the husband, It would return a lesser indictment against Mrs. Walser. A Berlin candy manufacturer, advertising his product, hired an aviator to fly over the city and drop chocolate drops. Police stopped the practice when people reported bruised heads.

BONE-DRY LAW ARREST HANGS OVER PHYSICIAN Lindinger Arouses Ire of Elkhart Justice of Peace 1 in Gilliom Letter. A warrant awaits Dr. L. C. Lindinger, who defied Indiana's "bonedry” law, and he will be arrested as soon as he is found. This is the ultimatum of Justice of Peace Dan D. Owen, Elkhart, who requested Jacob Graul. Cleveland police chief, to find the doctor there. Owen's ire was aroused when lift read in The Times a letter from the doctor to Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliom, stating he had given a stricken man whisky on a train, passing through Indiana, and would supply six witnesses if the attorney general wanted to prosecute. Medicinal whisky use is against, the State law and Gilliom has asked Governor Jackson to recommend the law be changed, since both he and the Governor broko the law to save the lives of members of their families. Not by Sane Jury “No rane jury would c’livlct this doctor,” was Gilliom's comment on the letter. The only clew to an address cf Dr. Lindinger was the fact tha* the letter was written on Hotel Cleveland stationery. Gilliom took tlvfl to mean he was a Cleveland physi™ clan. Efforts of police failed to reveal the doctor either in Cleveland or in medical directories. “There is a man in this town iElkhart) ready to make affidavit and the warrant will be issued at once," Owen said today. Owen refused to give the man’s name, as “he doesn't want to make a fool of himself if Lindinger can not be located.” The doctor in the letter stated he always carried whisky "•.•egardless of St-tc laws.” Shumaker's List ‘ Superintendent E.
