No tree in the world has had greater cate bestowed upon It than the great banyan tree In the Botanic garden at Calcutta, which is reported to be dy ing, says the “Way of the World” col umnist of the London Morning Post. Every tender succulent young root, ns It begins to fall like a stalactite from the branch overhead Is encased and protected from harm In a bamboo. It Is not improbable that the original trunks will vanish altogether and leave the still expanding outer growths as a ring of vegetation round an empty circle. The mother trunk Is an almost shapeless mass by this time and contributes very little to the sus tenance of the multitudinous progeny. This Calcutta specimen is supposed to Lave fifteen aerial roots, a number from which, it is probable, that a cipher has been accidentally omitted. She Despised Them.

PUT TEETH IN RAIL BILL -CUMMINS Chicago, Oct. 4.—Railroad unions will take no action on the strike question before October 10 and possibly not for some time after that date. This announcement was made today by B. M. Jewell, head of the railroad employes’ department of the American Federation of Labor following a conference of execu tives of the 16 railroad labor or ganizations. BY LAWRENCE MARTIN, Washington, Oct. 4.—Congress must either "put teeth" into the Esoh Cummlns railroad law or admit it is a failure and repeal It, Senator Cum mins, Iowa, declared today. Complete reshaping of the govern ment’s railroad policy, probably at the next session of congress, as a re sult of the strike threat of railroad employes and their many attacks up on the present law, was forecast by Cummins, part author of the meas ure. The demand for anti-strike legisla tion will be renewed whether the strike now being threatened occurs or not, Cummins indicated. Provi sions penalizing railroads or others defying authority of the railway la bor board, limitation of the Inter state Commerce commision’s control over rate making and repeal of the guaranteed returns to the roads will all be sought, Cummins said, when congress takes up the administra tion's $500,000,000 railroad relief bill. Resume Rail Problem. While chiefs of the railroad broth erhoods met today in Chicago to de termine their attitude towards a na tion wide rail strike, Cummins was preparing to put the Senate inter statestate commerce committee to work on the rail problem in all its aspects.

The strike ballots of these unions were counted today: Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi neers, Brotherhood of Enginemrn and Firemen, Order of Railway Conduc tors and the Switchmen’s Union of North America. Union officials here today intimated that the counting of the vote of the other four unions was a mere formal ity, as, the United Press was in formed the ballots indicated the will of the majority of railroaders was to strike.

A IS KEPLSECRET State Department Likely to Refuse to Inform Public of Course to Be Taken Till Conference Starts. Washington, Oct. 4.—The state de partment, by official announcements Monday, swept aside any visions the American people may have had that their voice in the coming interna tional conference on limitation of arm aments would be a voice "openly ar rived at.” The first they will hear of it will be after the American position has been stated at the conference. This admission was made at the state department in answer to queries regarding the American position on that question being discussed so freely in the capitals of other powers that will be represented at the conference. The exact words, which came official ly, were: "Out of courtesy to the other powers it appears highly improba ble that any advance publication will bo given the position which the American government will take with reference to the specific question of limiting armaments." Reversal Called Radical. That wholly unexpected doctrine laid i'jivn officially came as a radical reversal of form in the American gov ernment’s plans for participation in the conference. With respect to all other questions destined for discussion by the powers Secretary of State Hughes has been very frank in out lining the American viewpoint. Among the progressive members of congress it has been generally expect ed that with the preliminary sessions of the American delegation and of the advisory committee, some effort would be made to work out a conference pol icy in keeping w’ith the national thought on armaments. While such a policy may come yet under closed door procedure, it will not be revealed until after the nation has been com mitfprl. Senators Voice Disapproval. The members of the Senate who have urged full publicity contrasted this attitude of the stato department most unfavorably with the policy of certain other powers where the most lively discussions are being held as to the positions they shall take with respect to proposed reductions of armaments. Japan, for instance, has in a semi-official manner proclaimed her position. What this government has to gain by clouding in secrecy its views on disarmament plans other officials did not say. They admitted it is diffi cult to see how discourtesy might develop from such a statement of aims any more than from the frank outlines of American views on the maintenance of the "open dopr” in the Far East. The first session of the American delegates scheduled for Monday was postponed by the delay in the ar rival of Elihu Root. Secretary of State Hughes stated Monday after noon that Mr. Root will be here with in a few days. The state department ha3 heard nothing of the movement reported in ! foreign dispatches to bring the in debtedness of foreign powers to the United States up for discussion in the conference. While the American delegates will have no means of curb ing the various delegates on their topics for discussions they hold fast to the position that the foreign debts have no bearing on the armaments question. BOY, 17, MISSING AS GIRL, 16, FLEES Did Lucile Hogan Elope with DeWitt Thompson?—Posse Baffled. Cedar Rapids, la., Oct. 4 (Speoial). .—A posse of 100 men -in 25 automo biles which has been searching the country within a radius of 100 miles for Lucille Hogan, 16-vcar-old high school girl who disappeared from her home in Monticello Wednesday night with DeWltt Thompson, 17. gave up the hunt Monday night without a clue.

Dr. Mark Hogan, uncle of the girl, returned Monday afternoon from a 50 mile search of the Lincoln highway west of Cedar Rapids. He had been told by an automobile touring party toat a girl answering Miss Hogan’s description had asked for a ride to Cedar Rapids Sundax but as the car was crowded she could not be accom modated. The girl was walking and said she had pawned her rings and wrist watch and was without money. Relatives do not believe she and Thompson eloped, as they were not sweethearts. She was seen in his automobile at 6 o’clock Wednesday night, and late t! at night Thompson Informed her anxious parents that she had not been with him after supper. An hour later he had disappeared and no word has come from him. The girl wore a house dress and had no money, and the boy wore his working clothes and had little money. ST. FRANCIS DELEGATES MEET.

MARITAL MUSS BARES SCANDALS John D.’s Daughter Says Sun Still Shines as Hubby Leaves Her—Mary Garden Named in Case—Walska Affair Linked Chicago, Oct. 4—The sun Is still shining In Chicago tor Mrs. Harold F. McCormick, although her husband repeated Monday that he and his wife "are not living under the same roof." "I see the sun still shines in Chi cago," she Bald Monday when in formed of what her husband had said. The daughter of John D. Rocke feller likewise failed to show any sur prise or distress over rumors that her husband probably would start divorce proceedings in the near future. Her composure in the face of the rumors may be the priceless result of her eight years devotion to the study of synthetic psychology in Europe. Arrived on Separate Trains. The divorce rumors were founded on the fact that Mr. and Mrs. McCor mick arrived from New York Sunday on separate trains, that they took up their residence in separate homes and the report that Mr. McCormick has been in consultation with attorneys who are not members of the legal staff of the International Harvester Company of which he is president. While Mr. McCormick was occupy ing theV.Ynily's country place at Lake Forest Monday, Mrs. McCormick was making herself at home in the McCor mick city home on Lake Shore drive after an absence of eight years.

She went driving during the day in a hired automobile, taking her two guests who came with her from Eu rope—Dr. Joseph Hartman, her per i sonal physician, and Edward Krcnn, his companion. Mrs. jvicuormKiR» uuhuud her husband’s statement apparently was that their relations were un changed now from what they have been during the eight years she has been abroad. It is that there is noth ing new in the situation as it has been known that they have been separat ed for long periods of time. She has repeatedly stated since landing in New York last week that no divorce proceedings were contem plated on her part. "People Do Not Understand.” "People simply do not understand,” she said. “They have in mind that there have been long periods of separ ation between my husband and my self during the last eight years; that he did not return from Europe with me and possibly some other queer things which to them appear in a dif ferent light than I look upon them. I know they are not satisfied now but that does not change the facts any.” ft was just as Bhe started on her ride that she said that "the sun still shines in Chicago.” She took on her ride the notebook she has kept with her all the time since her arrival in New York. This book is said to contain notes of psy chology and on the class subject she expects to start here in the near fu ture. Mary Garden’s Name Is Linked. In addition to the statement that he and his wife "do not now live under the same roof” Mr. McCormick is sued another statement Monday deny ing that Mary Garden had severed her connection with the Chicago Grand Opera Company. Miss Garden was made director gen eral last spring after a shakeup in the management. The changes followed the hasty flight from Chicago of Mme. Ganna Walska, who came here to sing, but disappeared three days before she was to appear. She is a protege of Mr. McCormick and is now seeking a di vorce from Alexander Smith Cochran, wealthy manufacturer and sportsman. Mary to Keep Her Job. Mr. McCormick’s denial was issued Monday through George M. Spangler, business manager of the opera com pany. It said; "Mqry Garden will continue as general director of the Chicago Grand Opera Company and abso lutely no thought has been given to the contrary.” Mr. McCormick added that Captr Rodney Sterling Wyman, who is said to have given out the information in New York that Miss Garden had quit the company, was not authorized to speak for him. COCHRAN “VAMPED” MME. WALSKA.—MALONE New York, Oct. 4.—Alexander Smith Cochrane Is a "male vamp," according to Dudley Field Malone, counsel for the temperamental Ganna Walska, op era soprano whose “marital mesalli ance” with Cochran is likely to en gage the courts at any moment. How Cochran, worth around |50, 000,000, pursued Mme. Walska across the ocean and through Europe until she finally consented to marry him, was revealed by Malone Monday. “The Original Male ‘Vamp.’" "This is not a case of a woman overcoming a man by her charm,” he said. “Cochran is the 'vamp' in this case. He is the original male ‘vamp.’ He pursued this lady across the At lantic on the Aqultania. He 'vamped' her every foot of the way and until they got over to England. Finally she succumbed to his charms and agreed to marry him. This was Mr. Coch ran’s first love affair and he was hard hit. COTTON FORECAST FALLS. Washington, Oct. 4.—Further de cline in the condition of cotton during September resulted in a reduction ot 500,000 bales in the forecast of pro duction issued today by the depart ment of agriculture, which places the total crop at 6,537,000, equivalent to 500-pound bales.

WON IS HP* 1FTEH HIS MONKEY EliNO OPERATION Gene Fowler Sees Dr. Edgar Perform Unusual Feat and Tells All About It—Look fo? Bacon’s Story Tomorrow. Editor’s Note—Mrs. Bacon, ad vised by his surgeon to refrain from any effort whatsoever in the afternoon following the operation, nevertheless insisted on making the following statement for The Tribune through Universal Serv ice: It is now 4 o’clock in the after noon.

Ba cqn, one time lawyer and then a writer. This reporter saw every detail of the two operations, both that per formed on Mr. Bacon and on the mon key. It is as if Bacon had invited the whole world into the operating room to see this remarkable demon stration of surgery through the eyes of a newspaper man. The Surgeon Arrive*. It is 8:45 o'clock when Dr. Thomas W. Edgar, who will perform the op eration arrives. He carries a pro fessional “black bag" In which are his instruments. Dr. J. A.

Dr. Edgar—it Is now 9 o’clock— working with far greater dispatch than it takes to present it here. Is pre paring a solution in a basin. It is practically colorless. Asked if it is sterile water, Dr. Edgar smiles and says: "In that solution I have kept the heart of a tortoise alive and beat ing for six hours. In it are salts similar to those contained in the human blood. I modified it but slightly in my test on the heart of a tortoise. "It contains, among other chem icals, magnesium, sodium and po tassium. It is kept at a tempera-, ture of 98.6 degrees. It must not vary half of one degree. It is to receive the gland of the animal, to sustain the life of the gland in a normal environment until I am ready for the Implantation. The violet rays will be played on this solution and a high frequency electric current will be sent through the solution for purposes of ideal stimulation." Dr. Jerome Wagner, a noted sur geon who will observe the operation, has arrived. He is followed by Dr. M. M. Waterhouse, another observer. Bacon Speak*. A *ivt npcaivs. "I hope my wife is not worried Let her know as soon as possible.” It is now 9:150 o’clock and Dr. Edgar prepares to anesthetize the animal.
