Even if Measure Weathers Storm
in Senate President Will Veto
It, Wise Ones Say; Would In

By David Lawrerioe
. Copyright. 1921, by The Journal)
Washington, Jan. 29. There isn't
the slightest chance that the emerg
ency tariff bill, which passed the
house and is now being considered
in the -senate, will ever become a
law. Even if the Republicans should
apply the cloture rule a.nd . end the
Democratic 'filibuster, the measure
would be vetoed by President Wil
son when it reached the White
House, and there is a good deal of
evidence that the Democrats would
gleefully accept a cloture rule and
8 as ten a veto, because most of them
see In the bill the first advantage
that has .appeared on the political
horizon since election day.
The Democrats, with true political sa
gacity, would not be averse to seeing the
Republicans pass a bill the admitted
effect of which might be an increase in
the cost, of living. Senators Simons Of
North Carolina, King of Utah and Har
rison of Mississippi have drawn from
their opponents the admission that the
passage of the,Fordney bill would , in
crease the price of sugar to the house
wife, and .they are : preparing to show
that the measure will go even further in
adding to the burdens of the consuming
public
The truth Is that the heart of Eastern
Republicanism is not behind the bill at
all and that they would like to see it
die at the hands of the White House veto.
But Senator Penrose is - supporting it.
Just as 'are the other Republicans from
the east, because it Is -deemed advisable
to maintain party solidarity for the next

COMES FEOM SHEEP
The Injection had previously been
made into a vein. This Is the first time
that the fluid has been injected into
the muscle of the heart itself, and: the
result Is said to-be "sufficiently promis-
njt to invite experiments in animals.
Adrenalin comes from the suprarenal
gland of a sheep, and la well- known . to
dOCtOrS.;. ' V "; : ?
Dr. Walker : declared, when ' talked
with him about his experiment, that It
was extremely unfortunte that his name
should have been mentioned in connec
tion with the casei.as it "wasn't fair to
men who -have been studying and ex
perimenting on the problem for the past
20 years."
DASGEHOUS TO PATIENT . 7 i
The baby whose . restoration was re
corded -in. the announcement, he Skid,
was brought around after the heart had
stopped four minutes. But there Is no
Question of the application of this treat
ment where death la caused through Via
lent accident or disease. The subject
must have sound organs if there Is to be
any response to the injections."
The claim that he succeeded in reviv
ing a dead child is, however, received
with reserve in the medical profession
generally. - . -
: The - senior house t surgeon at St.
George's hospital ' says that while adre
nalin acts as a spur to the heart mus
cles, its use often proved fatal. The
spur, or "kick," as doctors call it, might
revive the patient for half an hour, but
he often succumbed later. That is the
reason why, in. England at least, the
treatment has been largely discontinued.
