THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. €., THURSDAY, JULY 11, 1935. ALIMONY ADDICTS | Hospital Is Emperor’s Gift MTED DEFEETES 69 Per Cent of Women Who Jail Husbands for Pay Held Suffering Mania. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, July 11.—A majority of the women who send their hus- bands to alimony jails were classified by the Alimony Reform League last night as “pathological cases.” This conclusion was reached, the league statement said, after a three- year survey which brought 841 re- plies to questionnaires, sent to both husbands and wives. Jack Anthony, executive secretary of the league, emphasized that the answers were studied from a strictly unbiased viewpoint and were submit- ted to “a number of eminent authori- ties, including psychologists, pathol- ogists, legal experts and people with | common horse sense.” Suffer “Persecution Mania.” From the answers, it was decided that 69 per cent of the women ques- tioned were pathological cases, suf- fering from a “persecution mania.” Anthony said he was not at liberty | to name the experts who studied the replies, but he was not averse to mak- ing some of the answers public. One woman wrote: “My husband had the grace of a hippopotamus, the brain of a gnat, the appearance of a giraffe and the personality of a dead salmon.” | The women were judged by their answers to these three questions: (1) | ‘Why did you send your husband to jail? (2) Are you satisfied now that your husband is in jail? (3) How long would you like to have him re- main there?” Answers to the first question in- cluded: “He was a (1) louse (2) skunk (3) pig (4) rat (5) bedbug (6) cockroach (7) snake.” Twenty-eight per cent replied simply, “He deserved " 63 Per Cent Very Pleased. The second question was answered as follows: 63 per cent, very pleased; 21 per cent, sorry; 16 per cent, unde- cided. Forty-nine per cent of the 552 wives in whom a persecution mania was detected answered the third question with “Until he rots.” “My report unquestionably shows that a great number of wives who commit their husbands to the ali- mony jails suffer from some sort of psychosis bordering on sadism,” An- thony said. He added that the league was not opposed to alimony “as an institu- tion,” but would press for the estab- lishment of a separate court to han- dle marital cases. | = ~ = | Filipino Bill Signed. | A bill providing means for emigra- tion of Filipinos in the United States to the islands was signed today by | President R elt.

Dr. Bergman’s medical success was soon brought to the attention of Em- peror Haile Selassie, who engaged an airplane in which his daughter was re- turned to the royal palace and placed under the care of Dr. Bergman. In a short time she recovered completely. Hospital Given As Reward. Wishing to repay the physician, Haile Selassie wondered what gift might be appropriate. There was a government hospital adjoining the palace grounds. The Emperor was dissatisfied with its antiquated methods | and made an outright gift of the hos- pital to the man who not only saved | his daughter’s life, but also had done so much for his native people.

King Selassie also provided funds for three other hospitals, which are located at Dessie, Gogem and Dabor Tabor. Dr. Bergman became the Emperor’s personal physician, and was placed in charge of the government medical de- partment. A member of the royal family underwent an operation at the Zaudit Memorial Sanitarium and Hos- Fital while the Emperor looked on. Dr. Bergman returned to the United States in 1932, intending to remain to practice medicine. But the Ethiopian Emperor cabled him, requesting that he return, and at Halle Selassie’s in- sistence Dr. Bergman did change his plans and return to Africa. Sister Goes Also. In 1933 Esther Bergman, his sister, for five years & health nurse for the Seventh-day Adventists in the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia, went to Addis Ababa to take charge of the Nurses’ Training School. Re- cently she wrote to Miss Kathryn Jen- sen, head of the nursing department of the denomination at Takoma Park: “I wonder if you have heard that we received from the Emperor a gift of | $12,000 so that we can have a physio- | therapy department in connection with our work here. I would not be surprised should we be honored by having his majesty come for such a treatment.” Miss Bergman said that the mis- sionaries might be forced to evacuate Ethiopia at a moment’s notice, but that she hoped they might be able to continue their work for the natives.
