Immediately the men listening at the tap deserted their posts and hur- ried to the Albee Building suite, where Dietz, Cahill and seven others were taken into custody with little or no disturbance. Among the prisoners was Charles Purvis, 42, of the 600 block of Tuckerman street, the telephone company employe who allegedly dis- covered the tap.

He also abolished confinement of diseased patients in small rooms ad- joining dormitories and the system of feeding patients of all classes in a single dining room. Now the hospital has cafeterias adjoining each ward. The institution now has its own complete medical and surgical hos- pital, with resident surgeons and in- ternes on duty 24 hours a day.

Dr. Jelliffe returned to New York City last night, but will come back for the funeral. “Dr. White's death,” said Dr. Chap- man,” has left a great gap in the profession. He had a great power of attracting brilliant young men. set- uing them off to work and giving them free rein.” “An Outline of Psychology,” written in 1909, is the most important of Dr. White's books. It has gone into the fourteenth edition to achieve the greatest sale of any book on the sub- ject New York Lectures Published. His latest volume, “Twentieth Cen- tury Psychology,” was based on the Salmon Memorial lecture series he de- livered before the New York Academy | of Medicine a few years ago. As an alienist, Dr. White often was called upon to testify as an expert. He was a witness at the famous Leopold- Loeb murder trial at Chicago and in the case of Stanley McCormick, Cali- fornia multimillionaire, whose wife sought to set aside a special guardian- | ship of the estate. | Speaking of Dr. White's career at | St. Elizabeth's.

Berry expressed the belief today that Congress would enact the legis- lation. Taking notice of new party talk, said in an interview that the league “is not engaged in forming a political party.” “But we propose to be prepared,” he said, “to meet any political develop= ment between now and 1940.
