HICCOUGH BACTERIA DISCOVERY REPORTED WASHINGTON, Dec. 31. Recep tion by President Coolldge at the White House of delegates of the convention of the American Association for the Advancement of Science pro vided a mid-day interlude for today's program of further presentation of papers and discussion of the latest scientific achievements. A member ship registration at the present meet ing of 3,100 indicated one of the largest convention groups ever received at the White. House.

Subject treated in the scores of papers prepared for today's meetings of the 15 sections of the association ranged from improved copper for I electricity conduction to hiccough bacteria. A paper by Dr. W. P. Davey of the research laboratory of the Genera! Electric company, told of the produc tion of a new form of copper that conducts electricity with 13 percent more efficiency than ordinary copper.

Altho merely copper of standard purity, the metal is cast in the new process, it was said, as a single crystal, half an Inch thick and six Inches long. These are produced in cylindrical molds, and the greater conductive efficiency was measured by comparison after the metal was subsequently drawn and pounded to change it into the common form of new form of copper on a commercial scale has yet been undertaken, Dr. Davey said. Discovery of bacteria that appears to be responsible for the present epidemic of hiccoughs was reported in a paper prepared for the medical sciences section by Dr. Edward C.

Rosenow of the Mayo foundation at Rochester, Minn. The bacteria are of the sort known as streptococci and produced hiccoughs when injected into the brains of animals. The streptococci were obtained by Dr. Rosenow from the throats of per sons- suffering from hiccoughs In the I yiesciu epiueimc, wmcn ne aescriDea as milder than previous ones. In six cases studied, hiccoughs had been constant from two to eight days.

Of 32 animals Injected with cultures of the bacteria, .15 soon began to hiccough, while 13 had spasms of the abdominal muscles, and 23 of other muscles. Favorable results looking toward the control of diabetic symptoms by means of Insulin administered by the mouth Instead of hypodermlcally as at present, were reported In a paper by Dr. John R. Murlln of the University of Rochester. To overcome the problem of the destruction of Insulin by stomach Juices, Dr.

Murlln said he had prepared Insulin tablets which pass thru the stomach unaffected and are dissolved In the Intestines. ANNOUNCE ENGAGEMENTS Mrs. Katherlne Vaughn announces the engagement of her daughter, Miss Elizabeth K. Vaughn, to Elwood H. Patterson, son of Mr.

"This little girl gets a haircut and shave, and this young man is awarded a pair of women's This was the way the prizes were distributed last night at the sixth annual holiday dance of the local post of the American Legion at the Casino, which was attended by about 400 persons. That's the way the prizes went. Everybody whose number had beeil called stood HV line In the center of the Casino around the huge Christ mas tree and received 75 or more prizes. It was highly amusing to see an embarrassed young girl stand in line and get an order on some local store for a necktie or a pair of men's rubbers. Another young man got a pair of women's slippers, while a girl was given an order for fish at a local fish market- One very embarrassed young man was given a card calling for a pair of er -girl's bloomers at a local ladies store- And so it went.

One young miss was given an order for a cherry tree, others were given silk stockings, perfume, candy and correspondence cards. One lucky fellow was awarded a $2 shirt, another a safety razor and so on. Flashlights, rubbers, slippers, and many bags of flour made up the remainder of the prizes. It was a merry crowd of leglonnires and friends that gather at the Casino. The money realized from the dance will go toward the expensts of tht legion.

The board disapproval of the Increases proposed did not rest entirely, however, on the failure. of the company to prove the reasonableness -of the four and one half percent charges. The testimony as to the value of company's property is discussed at length in the decision and the subject of a thoro analysis, It was determined by the board that the value on which a return should be allowed the New York company was $76,370,000. The board stated that a reasonable return on this amuunt should not exceed The company claimed that on the valuation fixed by Us experts a return of about $7,287,000 would be reasonable. After due consideration of all facts, it was Bedded by the board that the proposed rates were in excess of those required to afford Just return.

During the hearing witnesses employed ty the board as well as by various municipalities were heard. The list of witnesses totalled 67. One hundred and eighty exhibit were submitted and the record of the proceeding comprises some sixty thousand typewritten pages.

In order that the proposed increase might be fully Investigated operation of the proposed new schedule was suspended.

In a case of this kind the law places upon the company the burden of proof showing the suggested increases are Just and reasonable. In an effort to prove the reasonableness oI the Increase voluminous expert testimony was produced at numer-r ous hearings. James G. Wray, a consulting engineer and a recognized authority on telephone utilities, retained by the board as an expert to assist in the Investigation. As result of this probe the New York Telephone company admitted that its proposed valuation should be reduced approximately 16,000,000.

This resulted In a reduction of about in the amount the company claimed should be allowed as a yearly return. An Important disclosure In connec tion with the investigation was the fact that tbe Kew York Telephone company has accumulated under the existing rates a reserve of approxi mately $4,800,000 in excess of that needed for the purpose. In considering increases in rates proposed by the Delaware and Atlantic companies, the board found that conditions were not the same. jt dld not that tho Deia ward an(1 Atlanti" companies hid accumu lated an excessive reserve for de- preciatlon a- In the case of the New York company. Consideration was given to the fact that the Delaware and.

Atlantic compiny operates In a territory which does njt present as field for telephone operation and development as the northern part of the state. It was found that the return of the Delaware and Atlantic company is and has been much lets than that of the New York coM.pany. As with the New York company an exhaustive analysis was made and the testimony relating to the value of the property of the Delaware and Atlantis company. A value claim approximating $24,000,000 waa reduced by the company to $21,400,000 following criticism by vhe board's expert. One of the problems which the board had to" meet was the payment made to the American Telephone and Telegraph company, the parent organization of the New York Telephone company and the Deleware and Atlantic company under what is known as the "license contract." In the course of the hearing It appeared that this contract required the payment annually of four and one half percent of the gross Income of the two companies.

For the year 1923 the New York Telephone company paid to the American company $850,000. It was stated by the compa. ny that the payments for 1924 would be $965,000. This Item was found to be one of the largest operating expenses of the New York company. It covers telephone Instruments, use of patents and other services rendered by the parent organization.

It was the opinion of the board that while these services were valuable the eVldence adduced failed to Park was estimated at more than a million cases.

Ambassador Herrick's report of his conver-satir with Premier Herriot on the question of Franco-American debts reached the state department early today and Is understood to contain first official assurance to be received here since the question entered Its present that France does not intend to repudiate her obligations to this country. Pending a careful of the report by Secretary Hughes, department officials declined all "comment but It was obvious thai, they welcomed the communication because of its official and timely nature. It had been hoped since M. Clementel, the French finance minister, published1 his celebrated balance sheet and ave rise to a whlri of discus.loh. tbat tne principle of capacity for payment which was applied to the settlement with Germany ought to be applied to the debtors as well, and that he was in favor of the Dawes plan, without the control feature, for all the war debtors.
