GALLINGER INQUIRY CLOSED BY BOARD Navy Department’s With- drawal Results in Suspen- sion of Hospital Quiz. Still firm in the belief that there is nothing seriously wrong with Gallinger | Municipal Hospital, officlals of the Board of Public Welfare today were de- | termined to cease taking the initiative in any further investigation of the in- stitution. This decision was reached yesterday after Admiral Charles E. Riggs, surgeon general of the Navy, informed the board 1t would be inadvisable to permit a rep- resentative of the Naval Aedical Corps to participate in a proposed survey of the institution. Admiral Riggs, :n a letter to George 8. Wilson, director of the board, ex- plained thai since War Department of- ficials had decided they did not tare to participate in the investigation, he also | considered it best to withdraw. ' He pre- viously had appointed Dr. Charles M. Oman of the Naval Medical Corps to take part in the inquiry. Future Action Seen. Dr. George M. Kober, chairman of the medical service committce of the board, announced his committee was | content to “let the matter drop” as a result of the failure of its efforts to | obtain a committee of experts to delve | into_conditions at Gallinger. However, | Dr. Kober expressed confidence that the i public would be glad to see a further | nvestigation of the hospital, and said | the District Commissioners or the Dis- trict committees of the House and Sen- ate might see fit to sponsor such an 1n?;xllry at some future date. announcing his decision. Dr. Kober explained it was held inadvisible for | his committee to continue to take the initiative because of the fallure of the Navy and War departments to co- | operate. | Dr. Kober pointed out that conditions | at the institution had been found to be PROMINENT EPISCOPAL MINISTER IS SUICIDE No Motive Known for Act of Los Angeles Diocese Leader, ‘Who Hangs Self.

Improvement of the water front along the north side of the Washington Channel between Fourteenth and P streets southwest was urged in the an- nual report of the District wharf com- mittee under consideration today by the District Commissioners. The report pointed out the chiet of Army Engineers received a plan for this development from the local engi- neer's office in 1926. As no action has been taken on the project, the hope was expreased that the new chief of eng neers would recommend favorable a tion by Congress, including an appro- priation. Belief was expressed by the commit- tee that “the approaches to the new Key Bridge, which includes the unim- proved property owned by the Govern- ment imnmediately east of the George- town end of the bridge should be im- proved and beautified in an attractive manner in keeping with the dignity of the concrete structure which spans the PEARLS ofthe ORIENT CULTURED N EMINENT authority says Potomac between Rosslyn, Va, and| Georgetown, D. C. Directing attention to the fact that the fire boat wharf is in a poor con- dition, the committee insisted it should be_rebuilt at once. The timber portion of the District sand wharf also was recommended for reconstruction. It was estimated that this task would involve an expendi- ture of $11,500. Should prison labor be used a smaller sum would be sufficient. Explaining that the use of this prop- erty for the receipt of sand and gravel has been discontinued, the committee suggested that the improved wharf be transferred to the workhouse authorities 50 increased storage facilities may be afforded for hflck and other Occoquan products. .. jas! to keep up with the new “yl';very Y THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1929.° Tramps Ride in Own Car.
