Chairman Johnson vigorously opposed the admission of any communication without the signature of & responsible person. Mr. Rankin announced he would present the letter at a later date. He then asked the chairman to explain the presence in the committee room at various times during the past week of the sergeant-at-arms or assistant sergeant-at-arms of the House. Mr. Johnson said no one had made a re- quest for their presence, but thought the answer would lie in the fact that five insane veterans have been kept out of tke bullding, one of whom threatened to do violence to 2 member of the Veterans’ Bureau three weeks ago. At least two of the veterans must be kept out of the building, the chairman added. Objection Is Overruled. When the two patients took the stand before the subcommittee of the House District committee, Dr. Noyes, in objecting to what he termed ‘“‘the unfairness of exploiting before the public the cases of these two men,” urged that the subcommittee with- draw from the caucus room, which was partly filled with curifous men and women, and seek the privacy of an executive session. ‘When Dr. Noyes started to back up his protest with an apparent attempt to explain the nature of their ail- ments, Mr. Blanton jumped to his feet and cut him short with a demand that the committee “make its own diagnosis.” “In case one of these men——"" Dr. Noyes began, only to be met with a withering arraignment by the Texan for his suggestion that the hearing be conducted in_private, “after Supt. White of St. Elizabeth’s Hospital and Commissioner Fenning, the principal figures in this investigation, had per- sonally demanded public hearing Upon the announcement of Chair- man Gibson of Vermont that he was powerless to close the hearing to the public after the committee had voted otherwise, the patients, in turn, laid bare their grievances and joined in denying that they were insane. Diagnoses Not Made Public. Due to the objection made by Mr. Blanton, the clinical diagnoses of the men were not made public, but were given to the subcommittee for perusal. One of the witnesses, Wagner, told the committee, howe that he was “supposed” to be aficted with de- mentia praecox. During the questioning of both wit- nesses Mr. Blanton sought to bring out that Commissioner Fenning had been appointed their guardian without their knowledge and in the case of Allen, Mr. Blanton secured the declar- ation of the witness that Mr. Fenning had taken “unauthorized” lesal action in certain real estate matters. Allen, a man of about 35 years, answered the questions put to him so volubly that Mr. Blanton had to in terrupt him freq v, Allen assert- ed that he was “tricked” into being | declared insane while ‘on a casual visit to this city to collect money owed him by a naval officer stationed | at the Naval Hospital here. He said that while talking with this officer at the hospital he was approached by “Dr. McDaniel” and asked to spbmit himself for “an examination.” Thought “Nothing of it.” Since he had been retired for dis- ability some time before, he explain- ed, he thought “nothing of it"” and agreed to the examination. The next day, he asserted, he was placed un- der arrest and transferred to St. Elizabeth’s. He said he was un- aware of the nature of h ings at first, and inquired of other patients as to his whereabouts. Allen alleged that he had been as. saulted, choked, thrown down and otherwise abused by attendants at the hospital. | Allen said he was adjudged insane | by a jury composed of men who were unfit for that duty Wagner, who r took the stand, is of short and stocky build. Sent to Chicago. He told of being sent to the psychopathic ward of the Cook County Hospital in Chicago “for observation,” after he had applied for dental treat. ment at the United States Marine Hospital there. He declared he was adjudged insane by incompetent persons. | “One of them asked me,” Wagner pointed out, “what I thought about the case of a girl who fell from the twelfth story of a building and got up and walked away when she saw a crowd assembling. I told him I didn’t believe it, although I had heard that firemen sometimes use nets to catch persons that way. So he said T was cra i “What would happen if a girl fell | 12 stories and hit the ground,” Mr. Blanton asked. “Why, she would break every bone in_her body,” Wagner replied. Wagner sald he had to smuggle out of the hospital a letter which he wrote to Mr. Blanton on April 2, begging his aid in proving that he was sane. “You're not crazy, are you?" Mr. Blanton asked in conclusion. “Certainly not. I want to get out of there and become a useful citizen,” Wagner asserted earnestly. The hearing then adjourned. White’s Grilling Ends. The subcommittee, at {ts fourth meeting last night, concluded the cross-examination of Dr. White, who was first called at the executive ses- sion Tuesday night. On motion of Representative Gilbert, ' Democrat, Kentucky, subpoenas were issued for Chief Justice Walter I. McCoy of the District Supreme Court, Herbert L. Davis, the auditor of the court, and his assistant. This action was taken after Mr. Gil- bert declared ‘negligence on the part of some officers of the court | intendent said he had received no for- | through the place, THE EVENING unlawful,” and that “there are none too high” to be investigated. Justice McCoy and the auditors will be ex- amined along t' ° lines of rates of commissions gianted to guar Mr. Blanton charges Mr. Fenning re- celved commissions in excess of the law, which specified 10.per cent. ‘The meeting last night was attended by the largest audience since the in- vestigation began. uent the crowd took sides with either the wit- ness, Dr. White, or Mr. Blanton, and Chairman Gtbson, Republican, Ver- mont, was forced to caution the au ence against any exhibition of a) proval or disapproval of the - ings. Toward the close of the session Mr. Blanton shouted that he voted to send the now disabled soldiers to war, that he was going to protect their rights, and concluded by declaring, *I don't give a_damn if its a Commis- sioner of the District of Columbia or a superintendent, I'm out to get their scalps,” This was met with an out- burst of applause and Chairman Gib- son declared the sessions hereafter would be closed. Assails Crowd's Action. “This is a sober and serious inves- tigation,” he said, “and not a political meeting. - We are going to have order, and in view of the demonstration just given, the sessions hereafter will be executive.” Dr. White at the outset of the meeting requested coples of the record in order to prepare a defense. “The whole Investigation,” he de- clared, “has resolved itself into a personal attack by Mr. Blanton on me. Mr. Blanton has developed into a personal accuser. I have been asked questions about things that oc- curred over a_quarter of & century ago, and Mr. Blanton has been pre- paring this case against me for a month. My lack of memory at times has been used by him as accusations against me. 1 have no desire to with- hold any information. I wish to make 4 formal request to be furnished with transcripts of the record in order to prepare a defenss. I can use the entire time until the end of the month in answering these attacks and I ask permission to summon wit- nesses. Several persons have ex- pressed the desire to testify in my behalt.” . The request was granted by Chair- man Gibson. He also announced that it would be virtually impossible to finish the inquiry by May 1 and re- port to the full committes, and there- fore at the next meeting of that body he would request an extension. Asks Patients’ Presence. Mr. Blanton told the committee he had requested Dr. White to have Al- len and Wagner at last night's ses- sion and demanded of Dr. White why they were not present. The super- mal request, and when Mr. Blanton asked the men be brought before the committee at 10 o'clock today, Dr. White asked: Will it be an executivé session?” t will not be,” replied Mr. Blan- ton. Dr. White replied he would not bring tho men before an open meet- ing “for the purposes of examining the patients in public. I ask you not to do this on behalf of the pa- tients. You can grill me all you want to in public, but not these men.” “I want the citizens of this country to hear them and will submit them to Dr. White for an examination,” de- clared Mr. Blanton. T wouldn't think of doing such a thing in public,” replied Dr. White. “I'm not going. to allow these men to be explojted It's against the ethics of the medical profession.” Dr. White, however, agreed to produce them to- day, and Chairman Gibson sald at that time the committee would determine whether the hearings should be open or_executive. The decision to have Commissioner "enning to testify this afternoon was made on motion of Mr. Blanton Mr. Gibson, referring to the am nouncement made yesterday by Mr. Fenning, offering to assist the com. mittee fn its investigation, declared “he was informed he would be allowed to testify before these hearings be- gan.” The cross-examination of Dr. White last night produced no concrete re- sults other than to provide amusement for the witness, the examiner and the audience. Dr. White drew applauso from time to time for ironical remarks in connection with his testimony, and demonstrations also were given Mr. Blanton during the exchange of pleas- antries. At one time Dr. White leaned over to Mr. Blanton, who sat next to him, and said: “I wish I had vour energy, you're a wonder.” “You and I would make a good replied the Texan. White Proposes Own Test. team, When Mr. Blanton announced that on the conclusion of his examination of Dr. White he would submit him- self to questions, the witness replied: “Suppose I put vou through a psychiatric examination?" At another time Mr. Blanton “warned” Dr. White that the com- mittee was golng to visit the institu- tion. “You're going to take us all not just those pretty buildings. You're going to take us where other people don't go, the bull pen and all. I know you are, for I'm going to lead the way.” This remark was met with applause and hisses from the audience. The charge by Mr. Blanton that Commissioner Fenning was given free access to the records of the in- stitution in order to determine what patients had the “largest estates™ was vehemently denied by Dr. White. Mr. Blanton read an affidavit of a keeper of records to the effect Mr. Fenning has received permission to examine the files, but Dr. White re- plied there is nothing of importance in any records except those in the financial room. These, he added, Mr. Fenning never saw. Mr. Blanton read two affidavits of persons who had been,committed il- legally, it was charged. Says Conditions Corrected. In the case of a mother and daugh- ter who had been sent to the insti- tution many years ago, Mr. Blanton :zlild “God, doctor, isn't that terri- e “It's a pathetic case” replied the witness, “but I want to add that it prevents the Veterans’ Bureau from prohibiting things they know to be and Rebekahs will assemble at 7:30 o'clock in 0dd Fellows’ wmarch to the church in a body.

Summer by the Caillaux mission seem- ed particularly gratifylng to the American commissioners. The Ttalian agreement, approval of which was bitterly- contested through- out its consideration by ths Senate, awaited only the signature of Presi- dent Coolldge to become effective. It was ratified Wednesday by a vote of 64 to 33, and this decision was con- firmed yesterday with the rejection, 43 to 24, of a motion for reconsidera tion by Senator Reed, Democrat, Mis souri. The new French proposal, lacking a “safeguard” clause linking payments with German reparations, was laid before the American commission ves- terday by Ambassador Berenger with little ceremony, and Indications were that a decision might be expected without delay. No Hint of Terms. No indication of its terms has been given here, but the foreign affairs committee of the French Chamber of Deputies has been informed that it would run for 62 years, instead of 68, as proposed by Minister Cafllaux last Summer, and that payments would graduate from $26,000,000 to $100, 000,000 a year. Absence of a “safeguard” clause, meanwhile, has aroused vigorous op position on the part of some members of the French committee. While o majority favors approval of an agree- ment along the lines indicated—pre sumably mapped out during the recent informal disccussions between Secre- tary Mellon and Ambassador Berenger —a group of irreconcilables headed by Chairman Bouillon of the committee contends that it is unacceptable with- out the “safeguard” provision. Premier Briand told the committee that it was necessary to reach an agreement “‘at all costs,” even though | ““it must not be expected that the safe- guard clause will be maintained in its entirety.” Belgiam Terms Different. The Belgian debt settlement, which came before the Senate with final dis. position of the Itallan agreement gives different treatment to that natfon's pre-armistice and post-armis tice borrowings. The former, amount ing to $171,780,000, is relieved of all CLUB TO PROMOTE WINDOW FLOWERS Newly Organized Body Elects Officers and Lays Plans for Activities. The various garden clubs in Wash- ington and its environs combined their efforts in the establishment of a cen- tral organization which will have for its purpose the beautification of the National Capital, at a meeting called by Mrs. Frank B. Noyes, chairman of the committee of the National Capital of the Garden Club of America, at her home, 1239 Vermont avenue, yester- day. Following the election of officers the newly formed organization, which will be composed of representatives named from the various garden clubs and interested organizations, indorsed the idea that it devote its activities this Summer to furthering the use of window boxes as a means of beautify- ing the residential and downtown sec- tions of Washington. Representatives of each organization pledged their assistance in promoting the use of window boxes not only in their own localities, but in the business section of the city. Officers Are Elected. The officers elected were: B. Y. Morrison, chairman; M. J. Clay, first vice chairman; Mrs. Thomas Brad ley, second vice chairman, Victor Lumsden, secrets and Miss C. Lancaster, assistant secretary. These officers, together with B. W. Anspon and Ivan N. Anderson, were consti- tuted an executive committee to ouf- line the activities of the organization, to make suggestion of a suitable name and to formulate the policies which will govern the new body. This ex- ecutive committee will report to the full body upon call. Hope was expressed by Mrs. Noyes that the newly formed body would meet at least once each month to discuss the various problems con- fronting the individual organization members, and that much might be ac- complished by the combined effort of the central organization in undertak ing to solve the problems of the in dividual. The campaign for the encourage. ment of the use of window boxes met with favor because of the attractive results that can be obtained from this | type of flower decoration within a minimum amount of time and at a | moderate expense.

He described the pact as the ‘‘greatest steal in all history” and asserted that the people would re- pudiate it when they came to under- stand its terms. “The administration of Calvin Coolidge,”_ he charged, “is as much owned and controlled by the great in- terests as a subordinate of any bank is owned and controlled by the board of directors.” Holding that the “great interests do not stand outside any more; they have moved in and taken possession of the overnment,” he reiterated cl t Secretary Mellon was appointed because of his business con- nections. PARIS IS OPTIMISTIC. Thinks Opposition to Safeguard Clause Will Be Overcome. PARIS, April 24 (#).—-Optimism con- tinues here that there will be an early settlement at Washington of the French debt question. It is realized that the “safeguard clause” under which France’s payments would be re- duced if Germany should fall to meet her obligations under the Dawes plan, is still being insisted upon by some members of the forelgn affairs com- mittee of the Chamber of Deputies, but it is hoped this opposition can be surmounted. A majority of the members of the foreign affairs commitiee favors an accord on the principle of liquidation of the debt in 62 vears, with initial payments of $25,000,000, whether or not the safeguard clause is incorpo- rated in the agreement. Premier Briand again has told the committes that some agreement is imperative. He said the Ambassador in Washington was making great ef- forts to obtain conditions so that pay- ments by France could be proportion- ate to her capacity to pay and to the receipts from Germany. The small house in Linlithgowshire where James Watt, the famous in- ventor, perfected his model of the steam engine, is being restored, and it is planned to convert his work- shop into a Watt museum.
