‘SUPERSHEEP’ PROMISED BY GLANDEXPERT Dr. Serge Voronoff, Famed for Rejuvenation Work, to 'Convince World/ TESTS SET IN OCTOBER Scientists Are Invited to View Animal Grafting on Huge Scale. Dr. S*rs:f Voronoff. famous (land _'ciallst. has invited the world to wit- '■< one of his most elaborate experiments, in an effort to confound sreptio*. In the following exclusive interview with the United Press, he reveal* his scheme to create a race of “supersheep." BY HENRY T. RUSSELL United Press Staff Correspondent • World Copyright, 1929, by United Press.) LONDON, Sept. 5. —An animal grafting experiment on an unprecedented scale was announctd today by Serge Voronoff, famous rejuvenation expert, who attained worldwide notice by his experiments with monkey glands. Voronoff revealed that, beginning on Oct. 1, he would conduct the experiment in his laboratory at the College de France in Paris, expecting to raise a breed of “super-sheep" which in the next few years would increase French production of wool and button 25 to 33 per cent. The operations on the sheep selected for the experiment will be performed in the presence of any veterinarians that foreign governments might desire to send, Voronoff said, adding that he hopes to convince sceptics of the efficacy of his gland transplantations. Government to Help "Immediately after being grafted.” Vornoff said, “the animals will be taken out of my hands and turned over to the government. At the same time, there will be turned over private flocks which will be inspected monthly by officials of a committee formed of distinguished professors of the two most important veterinary schools in France. “Three years from the date of the experiment, a French ‘central wool committee’ will summon an intei| ational sheep conference in Paris, at which the world’s experts will be invited to compare the two flocks of sheep, totaling 4,000 animals. “Two thousand will be offspring of animals grafted by me and the remaining 2,000 will be nongrafted animals of the same age turned over to the control committee on the same day as the grafted flock. Will Operate Personally “I intend to operate personally on a number of sheep, which the government and private owners throughout France are shipping to me, from Oct. 1 to Oct. 14,” Voronoff said. “Although the plaris for the experiment hitherto have been strictly secret, it is not intended that the actual experiment shall be conducted secretly. On the contrary, I desire once and for all publicly to confound the skeptics. “The whole thing is living conditions throughout the world are changing—for instance, as people abandoned cotton for wool, so the demand for wool is increasing. Likewise, the demand for meat throughout the world is increasing. “Simultaneously, however, the production of meat is decreasing, if anything, owing to several causes, including the exodus from the country to the city, which reduces the number of farm hands. Another factor is the intrusion of factories into the countrysides, diminishing the world's livestock grazing grounds. Two Problems Faced “Thus the world is confronted with two problems—first, to increase t he supply of wool and meat, to equal the demand; second, to accomplish it without actually increasing the number of head of livestock for which there are insufficient grazing grounds and insufficient hands to care for them. “The only way to accomplish it is by gland-grafting, which I forecast years ago and on which I have experimented continually for the last five years.”

AIMEE LAUNCHES NEW ‘HOLY WAR,’ POUNDING AT VOLIVA’S FORTRESS

BY FREDERICK C. OTHMAN United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Sept. s.—Peace of the prosperous Lake Shore villages north of Chicago was shattered today by a sudden siege of Wilbur Glenn Voliva's Zion City by representatives of Aimee Semple McPherson's "FourSquare'' gospel. Zion City, it will be remembered, is ruled by the iron hand of Voliva. who has gained nation-wide fame both as a religionist and as a geographer, particularly as a geographer.

Kirby Davis, long-sought Hoosier “bad man,” arrested recently at Dallas, Tex., will be returned here to face federal motor theft charges within three weeks, according to information received by George R. Jeffrey, United States district attorney. Although wanted at Angola, Ind., for bank robbery, Davis will be returned here for trial in the Wilborn C. Caldwell conspiracy case, growing out of the changing of numbers of automobiles to conform with numbers of title certificates for “junked” cars of the same model. Caldwell was convicted last winter and is serving a prison term. MARION COMPANY SOLD Anaconda Copper Acquires Insulated Wire and Rubber Company.

Negotiations for the deal had been carried on for several months, the announcement said.

Voliva believes and ‘‘has prool that the world is square, “like a sheet of paper.” In sermons before his well-to-do followers in Zion, he predicted dire calamity to the Graf Zeppelin in its flight around the world. “Since the world is square,” said Voliva, “It obviously is impossible to fly around it. When you get to the edge, you simply topple off into the void.” He refused, incidentally, to comment on the docking of the Zeppelin at Friedrichshafen after she had circled the globe.

WORK GALORE FILLS HOURS FORSTMSON Secretary of State Keeps Busy From Sunrise to Sunset. PROBLEMS PILE HIGH Tariff, World Court, Wars Abroad, Naval Questions Take His Time. BY LYLE C. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.—Twen-ty-four hours in the life of a secretary of state are as full of action as a three-ring circus and Henry L. Stimson’s days are getting busier than ever before. There is an avalanche of mail, a cascade of telegrams and cables, and an endless circulation of letters, reports and secret memoranda - marked “very confidential.” While all this is going on at the state department, new business is developing overseas or in congress. A day in the foreign service of the United States is a full one. The last twenty-four hours added to the number of projects engaging the state department’s attention and advanced the status of some of the standbys which have been intermittently active for months or years. Tariff Is Stumbling Block The senate received the finance committee’s version of the HawleySmoot tariff bill, which, if passed, may complicate severely pending! diplomatic negotiations, for the League of Nations assembly began studying the Elihu Root project for American adherence to the world court. From Palestine came additional reports by Consul Paul Knabenshue, product of Toledo, 0., on the situation prevailing in the Holy Land as riot subsides there. Japanese Envoy Received Untying naval knots is slow business and Stimson was back at the White House before sundown for another talk with the President. Between times Ambassador Debuchi of Japan was received at the state department, transacted his business and went away. He discussed affairs in Manchuria. Brig-adier-General Frank R. McCoy, whose chances of becoming chief of staff before he reaches the retirement age are excellent, visited Stimson to say the Bolivian-Paraguayan commission of inquiry and conciliation, which he heads, may complete its labors in about two weeks. The commission is attempting to settle a boundary dispute between those South American countries and has proposed a basis for agreement. Stimson bundled up a Chinese and an American note on extraterritoriality, attached to it some interpretative information, and handed it to the press. China asked abolition of American extraterritorial rights. The United States refused the request, but suggested jiont negotiations to find a solution of the anomalous practice of operating foreign courts on Chinese soil.

MINERS ARE GUARDS Workers, Owners Armed at Bono Company Shaft. Operation of the Bono Mine Company shaft at Dana was under way again today, with six members of the worker-owner crew carrying arms as special deputy sheriffs. This report was brought back by George Hufsmith, deputy attorneygeneral, who was sent to Dana to re-establish operations. The mine was closed earlier in the week, when Vermillion county authorities withdrew four of eight special guards they had provided. Hufsmith arranged with Sheriff Harry Newlin to swear in four “topmen” and one miner as special deputies to guard the mine while they are working. The four deputy sheriffs, paid by the county, remain. Guard was asked by the state after miners pleaded for aid following an assault on the workers by alleged union miners last June. KIWANIANS IN OUTING Members of the Indianapolis Kiwanis Club and their families and friends will attend a picnic Sept. 19 near Noblesville, it was announced by Percy Oblinger, chairman of the entertainment committee, at the weekly luncheon of the club at the Claypool Wednesday. The club's bowling league will start its regular schedule Sept. 30 at the Indiana alleys.

BECAUSE of Voliva's geographical concepts and because of his religious pronouncements, the followers of Mrs. McPherson, whose asserted “desert kidnaping” created a sensation a few years ago, decided that the North Shore situation was serious. So serious indeed to it held by the four-square gospelites that they sent Sister Essie Locy, the “trumpeting evaneglist,” to Waukegan to open a church, the principal function of which was to win over converts from Zion City,

Voliva, a tall stern-faced individual, has been too busy with his candy factory, his dairy herds, and his museum, one of the principal exhibits of which is a collection of the heavy corsets worn by women when wasp waists were in fashion, to answer the charges of the McPhersonites publicly. So nightly Sister Locy preaches to overflow crowds, plays sweet music on her silver trumpet, and repeats her challenge to Voliva that he debate with her on the subject: “Is the church square?”
