PAGE SIX THE MICH IGAN DAILY TUESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1934 Minerals Are 'peak~s HceeSo om Stolen FromI Collection Here Ja n it o r Discovers Loss Yesterday in National Science Building Collection Cost $300 Specimens Of Sapphires, Rubies Taken; Police Work On Clues The robbery of a valuable part of the mineral collection was discovered yesterday morning in the Natural Science building by a janitor, who,? while dusting the cases found some pocks tampered with. Prof. W. F. Hunt, head of the min- eralogy department, stated that the exact time when the robbery was committed cannot be determined, but it is known that it occurred either Saturday night or sometime Sunday. Crowbar' Was Used It was discovered that a crowbar was used to pry open certain cases, which was done withouttbreaking their glass. The specimens stolen consisted of 19 small uncut diamonds which were not of gem quality, but had natural crystal faces, nine speci- mens of gold, and a few specimens of, rubies and sapphires. A few of these stones were cut, but most were uncut, Prof. Hunt stated. The estimated cost to replace this collection was set at about $300. Prof. Hunt explained that the thief un- doubtedly wanted these specimens for a collection or study, because their actual monetary value is not very great. Other Locks Intact There is some doubt as to how the robber entered the room as no damage was dne to the locks of either the doors or the windows. However, the general belief is that he either open- e4 the doorlock with a small wire, thus pushing the catch of the lock back and gaining entrance, or he concealed himself some place in the room while the museum was open, waited until everyone was gone and the doors lock- ed, and then began work. Police took photographs of some fingerprints which were found around the locks, but as yet it is not known whether they will be of any help. Lenothy Trial Gives Hopes To Samuel Insull CHICAGO, Oct. 8.- )- Samuel Insull, late Midas of the utilities, can pin some hope for acquittal on the marathon aspect of his trial- a jinx to the prosecution. The government was considering night and special Saturday sessions to shorten the proceedings, but the tremendous volume of evidence still was enough to stretch it out for weeks. The trial of J. Ogden Armour and nine other packers in the "beef trust" case in 1911-1912 - three months and twenty days - ended in an acquittal for the defendants. A similar verdict was returned recently in the 120-day racketeering-conspiracy case involv- ing the cleaning and dyeing, laundry and carbonated beverage industries. Both were among the longest on rec- ord i I T i 7 1 I l 7 DR. BERNARD I. BELL Dr. B. .

The subjects for these lec- tures are the "Development of Juda- ism," and "The Emergence of Chris- tianity," respectively. Officials in charge of the lectures, emphasize that they will be given next week, not this week as was stated in Sunday's Daily. The Baldwin Lecture series has been given here for 20 years, being orig- inated by prominent Episcopalians to further the cause of religion among students. Last year Dr. Floyd Wedell of Carleton College delivered them in Ann Arbor. Dr. Bell, who has recently been in great demand as a lecturer in eastern colleges and universities, was formerly president of St. Stephens College, af- filiated with Columbia University, at Avondale-On-Hudson, N. Y. He is the author of several outstanding books, among them being "Beyond Agnos- ticism," "Unfashionable Convictions," A Book For Tired Mechanics," and "After The War." A faculty committee, in charge oft a reception which will begin the lec- ture, will meet today to discuss plans.' It is composed 'of the following: Prof. William Rohrer of the political science department, Prof. Leroy Waterman, head of the oriental language and literature department, Prof. Charles T. Olmstead of the engineering me- chanics department of the college of engineering, Prof. W. A. McLaughlin of the romance language department, Prof. Eric Walter of the English de- partment, and Prof. DeWitt H. Parker, chairman of the philosophy depart- ment. Freshman Lecture Will Be Delivered Publish Article On Problem Of Drug Addiction Medical School Committee Discusses Research On Morphine Substitute Although the Drug Addiction Com- mittee of the National Research Coun- cil has not yet succeeded in dis- covering synthetic chemical com- pounds which completely satisfy the conditions of morphine as to pain- relieving properties without the ac- companying addiction features, it has made definite steps toward that end, Dr. Charles W. Edmunds and Dr. Nathan B. Eddy, of the committee and the Medical School, point out in their article, "Some Studies On The Drug Addiction Problem," in the October issue of The Quarterly Review. "Drug addiction in America seems to offer a problem revolving around morphine and its substitutes. Accord- ing to the most reliable estimates there are approximately 120.000 ad- dicts in this country," jointly state Dr. Edmunds and Dr. Eddy. "The research problem divides itself into three main parts; the preparation' of synthetic chemical compounds at the University of Virginia, their phar- macological study at Ann Arbor, and finally the study of the action of the selected compounds on the human pa- tient. "One such substitute, novocaine, or procaine, has already been made. This substance is very satisfactory for use in the production of local anaesthesia when it can be injected directly into the tissue. Unfortunately it does not penetrate very well when it is applied to the eye or nasal mucous membrane or to the throat, so that cocaine is still largely used for surface anaes- thesia," the committee reports.
