CHICAGO, Ausi 15. ()—Mndoeri-
nology, the “new chemistry of char-
acter.” the relation of the ductless
glands to mentality, was the subr
ject for further revelations in the
hearing today before Judge John R.
Caverly to determine, whether
Nathan F. Leopold Jr. and Richard
Loeb shall be hanged or sentenced
to penitentiary terms for the kid-
naping and murder of Robert
Franks. T
The theory of functional disor-
ders of the endocrine having affect-
ed adversely the mentality of the
youths was advanced by a defense
alienist to bolster, the plea for
mitigation of punishment.
Dr. Rollin T. Woodyatt of Chi-
cago. one of the few physicians
who have studied endocrinology ex-
haustively, was the, state’s Y first
witness today.
Milton Smith, an assistant state’s
attorney, read from a prepared list
of questions with which the wit-
ness seemed familiar.
“There, would be nothing in the
findings of the ‘Bowmen-Hulbert’
report to indicate a disease of the
endocrine glands?" Mr. Smith
asked. F ------------
“No,” replied DA Woodyatt, "be-
cause there is nothing Th 1 those
findings incompatible with health."
“Are they compatible with entire
normality? asked Mr. Smith.
,. “They are," responded Dr. Wood,
yatt..
“The field of endocrinology has"
been exploited by romantic writers
charlatans and others who are not
to be classified as scientists,” said
Dr. Woodyatt. T

heavy earthquake shocks rocked
Tokio early today. The tremors
were heaviest in the district north
of here, where general alarm but
slight damage was reported.
The heaviest shocks-were felt at
Fukushima, a city of 43,000, two
hundred miles north of here, and
at Chiba, at the north end of Tokio
bay, where one house was destroyed
At Choshi, 76 miles northeast of
here, telephone service was sus-
vended • by the disturbance, while
other towns in the earthquake re-
ported broken windows.
The main shock, which registered
for 80 minutes on seismographs,
caused people to run to the streets.
The tremors came after several
days of abnormally high tides near
Chiba which caused government
seismologists to renew their beliefs
that tide measurements will warn
of approaching earthquakes. *

for the city will soon be presented
to the city council, it was an
nouneed Thursday afternoon, fol-
lowing a meeting of nearly all
electrical contractors of the city.

of the code were ironed out.
The code was drafted.by Claude

points have delayed its completion.
