SOLDIERS' DOCTORS ' SEVERELY SCORED Senate Committee Hears of Inefficient;y and Indifference at Hospitals. Criticism of conditions at gowern- ment hospitals caring for veterans of'l the world war, made at the hearing yesterday afternoon before a Senate commiitee investigating all govern- ment agencies dealing with the vet- erans, included the alleged inability of government physicians to diagnose cases properly. Conditions at govern- ment hospitals in Perryville, Md.. and Fort Thomas, Ky. and the treatment of mental cases at an insane asylum in Phoenixville, Ariz., were attacked. and charges of bureaucracy in Wash- ington were made. Charles C. Maine of Binghamton, N. Y.. who said he represented other| patients at the Perryville hospital. de- clared the hospital was located in a swamp, that sanitary conditions were not satisfactory. that medicine was not supplied unless requested, and that the nervous and shell shock patients who, he said. constituted the majority under treatment. were thrown into hysteria by the firing of heavy guns at the government prov- ing grounds at Aberdeen. Saying he had failed to obtain proper medical treatment in govern- ment hospitals, Joseph E. McElroy ot| Zanesville, Ohio, declared he had ex- pended over $12.000 in an effort to re- cover from shell shock. He asserted there was a force of seventy doctors, nurses and other government em-| ployes at Fort Thomas. Ky.. where 104[ patients are under treatment. Gov- ernment insane patients at Phoenix. Ariz., were not isolated. he said. but were brought into contact with in- sane criminals. Cases were presented to the com- mittee to emphasize alleged under- rating by the war. risk insurance bureau, it being charged that inef- ficiency and indifference on the part of the government physicians was the cause of much of it. DROWNING HELD MURDER BY SWIMMING AUTHORITY Declaring that the loss of approxi- mately 10,000 lives in the United States yearly by drowning. was lit-! tle else but murder. due to failure of the vast majority to learn the art of swimming, George H. Corson, swim- ming authority_of Toronto, Canada, gave the members of the Kiwanis Club many tips on how to handle themselves in the water at the week- 1y luncheon of the organization at the Hotel Washington vesterday. Mr. Corson deplored the lack of in- tarest taken in this all-important art by the great majority of educa- tors throughout the country, and said that a swimming pool in every pub- lic school was as essential to the wel- fare of the child as any other depart- ment of the institution. i Mr. Corson has been giving exhibi- tions in deep breathing and swimming | feats at the municipal bathing beach for the past month, and being a mem- ber of the Toronto Kiwanis Club, in- vited all.local Kiwanians unable to swim to pay him a visit in the next two weeks. Claude H. Woodward, Roe Fulkerson and George Winslow, recently returned from the Kiwanis convention at Cleve- land, were given an ovation. Mr. Ful- kerson detailed the accident he encoun- tered in the Forest city when he was bitten by an alligator. Mr. Fulkerson said it was untrue that the alligator died. Charles Roberts, presiding, read a let- ter of thanks from the Kiwanis Club of Pueblo, Col., thanking Washington Ki- wanians for their contribution to the relief fund. John J. Boobar was presented with a medal from the winners of the bathing beach style contest held last Saturday, when Mr. Boobar acted as one of the Judges. ‘I.in’ G. R. Hotaling, secretary of the Den- ver Kiwanis Club, and Mr. Corson were resented with prizes for being the dsomest and homeliest men present. CAPITOL HEIGHTS FETE.

DVANNUNZID FORGES ARE REORGANIZING By the Associated Press. FIUME, July 1.—Capt. Gabriele d'Annunzio’s adherents are reorgan- izing their forces into a contingent which will respond to any emergency which arises here. The war cry has gone out to former followers of the poet-soldier, and they are congregat- ing here and have already organized a body called the “Service Trieste.” D’Annunzio has sent out a message Lo his legionaries, saying: “This year 18 ours. It belongs to the legionaries and the arditi, and we again consecrate ourselves in one vast and solemn bond.” The obstinacy of political leaders inside the city prevents the constitu- tional government from functioning, and control of affairs is in the hands of Gen. Foschini, commander of Ital- ian troops in Fiume. Reports that the port of Baross, between Fiume and Sussak, is to be separated from Fiume and ceded to Jusoslavia have in- creased the excitement here. Such a separation is being urged by the Jugéslavs, who are said to plan the extinction of Fiume as a port. The legionaries claim they will “save Fiume from being throttled by the loss of port Baross.” All Fiuman parties contend that port Baross is an integral part of the port of Fiume, although the ttreaty of Rapallo ceded it to the Jugoslavs. In his message to the legionagies, D'Annunzio said his arditi had raised the flag of Italy above the port of Baross, “which my desperate men de. fended for sixteen months,” adding: “Three fell dead, but the legion- aries have not lost honor nor hope. Let us swear today in one great throng.” There is much unrest in the city, and all party leaders have asked their followers not to carry arms in the streets, so that further bloodshed may be prevented. The funerals of seven men killed in recent fighting were held yesterday amid scenes of great solemnity. « D. C. OFFICERS SEIZE STILL NEAR KENILWORTHI A copper still of forty-gallon cn-' I pacity was seized yesterday afternoon by Detectives Lomax and Murphy of tR€ ninth precinct and Prohibition of- ficer F. P. Rose in a swamp in Prince Georges. county, Md., a short distance beyond XKenilworth. Two hundred gallons of mash, a small quantity of the finished product and a quantity of prunes, sugar and. other articles used in the manufacture of the intoxi- cant were seized. The mash was de- stroyed. The still, valued at about $80, was taken to the ninth precinct station to be held as evidence in event of the arrest of persons who operated it Police say they have information as i to the identity of the violators of the revenue law and expect to accom- plish their arrest in the near future. Investigation of a report of whnle-‘ sale selling, of liquor in the vicinity of 15th and H streets northeast re- | sulted in locating the still. It was re- ported to the precinct detectives that a man and two women were conduct- ing the business, the man bringing liquor to the city in an automobile while the female accomplices brought smaller quantities of it in baskets.
