2010 WANS ARE SENTENCED FOR JUDGE ATTACK Light Penalties Meted to Farmers; Plead Guilty on Minor Charges. ORANGE CITY. Ia . July 11.— Twenty northwest lowa farmers entered court here Monday on a change of venue from O'Brien county and offered to plead guilty to a minor charge to escape trial on an indictment charging conspiracy. After a consultation of attorneys and Judge Earl Peters, five of the farmers pleaded guilty to charges of resisting court process and fifteen others were taken back to Primghar for like action. Thus ended possibly the last episode in six weeks of violent farm unrest which climaxed April 27 with the near-hanging of Judge Charles C. Bradley at Lemars and two farm sale riots. Precipitating a twelveday reign of martial law under state troops. Only the apprehension of two fugitives no wremains to close the books on the farm incidents. Maurice Cope and Ed Caspar, accused of laying actual hands on Judge Bradley, are believed to be in the South Dakota hills. Some 100 farmers have appeared in court in three counties, paid minor fines, or been released on suspended sentences. Those pleading guilty to the resistance of court process charge, which carried a suspended sentence of one year in jail, are William Claussen, W. F. Kramme, Eli Kramme, Martin Paulson and Edwin Shaffer. The other fifteen, taken to their home county late today for similar pleas, were Simon T. Jossem, James Sears, Lawrence Caspar, Ben Niewendorp, Jack Harnp, John Herzog, Mike Herzog, A. C. Larson, Frank Fulton, Frank Ludwig, George Popk*n, Mathias Schmidt, Thomas Hunt, R. C. Appeldorn and John Link. GIRL BITTEN BY DOG 8-Year-Old Child Is Injured on Hip; Man Also Attacked. Marjorie Gordon, 8, of 3340 Roosevelt avenue, was bitten on the hip Monday near her home by a dog owned by Thomas Burnett, 2240 Wheeler street. Jess Jones, 50, of 2140 Station street, was bitten on the right leg by a dog. ~ MOTION PICTURES HP You'll Have to Hurry! Last 3 Days To See A Million Dollar Cast Our Regular Prices!

DYE CURES CYANIDE POISONING Victims on Verge of Death Saved by Methylene Blue

This Is the fourth of a series of stories by William Engle. Time* Special writer, recounting scientists’ battles with the mysterious. BY WILLIAM ENGLE Times Special Writer. “T HAVE taken cyanide of potassium.” said the JL young medical student, Cuthbert Reivelly. Fifteen grains in four fences of water ” Then the numbness had him. Slowly at first. But in a moment he dropped as though he had been drilled by a bullet. His friends knew tnere was no hope. No one ever had swallowed fifteen grains of that swift killerbefore and had lived. They took him, though, to a hospital. And there, with a little bit of coal tar derivative—with the bright, common dye, methylene blue, derived from the same kind of tar that grows soft in the street in the sunshine —they zipped young Reivelly back from death and in thirty minutes had him writing his memoirs of that fateful evening. It was the story of the first man to be saved from cyanide poisoning by modern chemistry, the sequel to a young Peruvian doctor’s adventure with methylene blue in the laboratory. This was a strange thing, said the young doctor, E. S. Guzman Barron, this way that methylene blue acted on cyanide. The dye seemed antagonistic to the poison, seemed somehow to counteract it. Why, no one knew. How it might be used to save lives, no one had shown. It was a pretty puzzle, he thought, and he addressed himself to it, working at Johns Hopkins university. 'Now he is research professor of biochemistry in the department of medicine at the University of

Chicago.) He got some geese. Extracted red blood corpuscles. Measured the amount of oxygen they consumed. Then he added cyanide of potassium and he saw the cells abruptly stop their action, stop their breathing. Now for methylene blue. Upon the poison-stifled cells he put the dye, and he saw them come back to life, saw them begin to breathe again. The experiments piled up. He turned from geese and took the tissues of rats—the liver, spleen, kidney, brain. Always he found the

same effect. The dye delivered the cells from strangulation, brought them back from death. From Johns Hopkins he went to that summer capital of scientific experimentation. Woods Hole, Mass., and there day after day he studied the tiny eggs of starfish. Always the cyanide stopped the cells* breathing and always the dyee thwarted the poison. u tt a MATILDA M. BROOKS of the University of California, was at Woods Hole that summer, too, and when she went back to the coast she repeated the experiments, used rabbits, and found the same results. Independently, too, similar work went on at the University of Michigan, and there Dr. Nathan B. Eddy got the same results with dogs. They began to use not red blood cells, but the whole animal. They shot the poison into dogs, gave them what were called surely fatal doses, saw them collapse—and from the very verge of death brought them back to normal health in a few minutes. But how would poisoned people fare if they got methylene blue? They did not know. Then Dr. J. C. Geiger, director of public health of San Francisco, began to play a part. Two traffic policemen and an office building manager were

taken to San Francisco’s Central Emergency hospital in a coma on the afternoon of July 26 last year. They had drunk from a liquor bottle, and had been poisoned by cyanide. In spite of artificial respiration, emetics, hypodermic injections of chemicals—but not of methylene blue—they died. Whether it was murder and suicide, or accidental, no one ever knew. But it served to start the inquiry that gave methylene blue its chance. tt u a DR. GEIGER, realizing the futility of any treatment then known, asked Stanford university’s school of medicine professors to survey the possible means of combating cyanide poisoning. The doctors recommended the dye. Within two months —on Sept. 5, last year—the first test came. It was then that young Mr. Reivelly was brought in, dying. It was cyanide poisoning; they made sure of that. The youth was unconscious. The pupils of his eyes were dilated. He breathed jerkily and faintly. On his lips that had gone blueish vermillion was the pungent odor of the poison. It fell to the surgeon on duty, Dr. R. J. Milzner, to be the first to try the aniline dye on a human being seemingly doomed to a quick end from cyanide. He shot a one

per cent solution of the dye into the inert boy. Within two minutes the boy was moving. Within five minutes he was conscious and seemed normal except for a chill and apparent flushing. “Recovery,” says Dr. Geiger, “was complete within fifteen minutes.” a tt tt WITHIN half an hour from the time he received the dye he was writing a statement for the doctors: “Took about fifteen grains of potassium cyanide in about four ounces of water. There was no sensation other than a numbness starting at the extremities and gradually, without pain, spreading.. The sensation really was quite pleasant—no pain and no muscular rigidity in going under—but, after the intravenous injection of 50 cc. of methylene blue. 1 per cent aqueous solution, there was a sensation of floating.” Here is Dr. Barron’s explanation, the answer to his study of the dye’s effect on animals. The body tissues constantly burn food, though there is no fire as when a piece of sugar actually is consumed by fire. The burning can go on at body temperature, because there is present in the tissues what is called respiratory catalyst, which speeds up oxidation of the foods. This catalyst is extremely susceptible to poisoning by cyanide. The normal combustion, or metabolism, of the body then is stopped. Since all the activity of the body depends on the oxidation of foodstuffs, a dose of cyanide sufficient to make all the respiratory catalyst inactive, or most of it, is fatal. tt tt tt DR. FARRON showed that the methylene blue temporarily can replace that respiratory catalyst even in the presence of cyanide. It is then, the doctor perceived, not only a fine, bright dye, but also a respiratory catalyst. He did not study until later its effect on tissue poisoned by carbon monoxide gas, such as comes from a motor’s exhaust, but others this year proved that rabbits poisoned by carbon monoxide could be resuscitated. Unlike cyanide, the deadly, odorless gas does not markedly poison the respiratory catalyst. It combines with the hemoglobin—the carrier of oxygen in the blood. It has 200 times as much affinity for hemoglobin as oxygen has, and so the tissues can not get an adequate oxygen supply, since the hemoglobin, affected by the gas, can not provide it. It was Dr. Geiger, again, who this’ spring reported the first cures of gas poisoning by use of the dye. There was “J. H.,” as the doctor called him, looking as though he were dead. He had been found by his roommate in their apartment in which an unvented gas heater ■was burning. tt tt tt THEY hustled him to the same hospital where potassium cyanide poisoning first was cured, and they injected the dye solution under his skin.

reported he revived suddenly, turned pink and screamed, ‘“Turn off the gas!” In ten minutes he was talking rationally and freely, saying that surely this was the strangest rescue he ever heard of. In the east, the first cure was heralded this spring in Harrisburg. Cyrus E. Hess, 68, the Harrisburg papers said, was found apparently dying in his garage, with his car motor running. At Polyclinic hospital they gave him injections of the dye and the next day he was discharged. Thanks to biochemistry; thanks to coal tar. — LOSE INDICTMENT STEP Efforts by Insurance Cos. Attorney to Demur Charges Fail. By United Press CHICAGO. July 11.—An effort by attorneys for nine officials of the Security Life Insurance Company, and the Northern States Life In- j surance Company of Hammond, j Ind., to demur to indictments j charging them with misapplication; of funds had failed today. The motion was overruled by Criminal Judge James F. Fardy. The officials are charged with misapplication of approximately sl,000.000. Court attaches pointed out that the North American Life Insurance Company of Indiana was not concerned in the action.
