Washinzton. July 27.—Hospital ireatment of former service men costs on the average $3.68 per day per Dr. C. H. Lavinder, Assistant geon General of the Public Health Service, told the Senate Investigating Committee. There has been a daily average of 12,000 patients in publiz health hospitals, the highest daily total being about 26,000. “The President told us there were ©,000 beds available for former serv- ice men.” said Senator Pomerene, democrat, Ohio. ‘“Has there been & surplusage of bed?” “There has been no excess,” replied Dr. Lavinder. “There always are va- cant beds, properly so.” | The witness explained that it was agreed in hospital work that the num- ber of vacant beds was not significant of ample facilities unless the beds were available where needed. Delay in extending hospitalization for veterans was attributed by Sur. gcon General Hugh C. Cumming of the Rublic Health Servce ta lack of sdequate appropriations during 1920. He told the investigating commuittee, also that, owing to unsuitable loca- tion, many hospitals placed at hia dis- posal by Congress in March, 1920, could not be used. “No defense can be made of Sena- tors and Representatives putting in sguch laws, for political purposes, pro- visions requiring use as hospitals of places which were totally unfit,” ex- claimed Senator Walsh, democrai Massachusetts. While the Public Health Service was searching the country for avail- able hospital beds the War Depart- :nent was scrapping” buildings which could have been used, Dr. Cumming caid. Senate conferees on the Sweet bill for the consolidation of all Govern- ment agencles dealing with former vice men today expresseal dissatis- action with the attitude of the House conferees saying that hte latter were showing no disposition to yield on 1nany of the Senate amendments. They were reported to be insistent upon the passage of the bill substantially in tha form in which it was sent to the Sen- ate. case, Deaths and Funerals Edward T.

Preacher Condemns “Dawn” as Interpreted at School Burlington, N. J., July 27.—Bare- legged dancing before pupils at the recent high school commencement in the Auditorium theatre is severely condemned in a letter presented last night by the Rev. Frank Lukens, pas- tor of the Presbyterian church, to the local school board. The dance has been the topic of wide discussion, but the clergyman is the first to publicly comment on the spectacle. The dance, presented by a pretty sirl in her teens, formerly a pupil of the schools here and now a student ot Greek interpretative dancing in an- other city, is said to have been some- thing of a surprise to the school com- missioners themselves, and to Super- vising Principal Vann H. Smith who has advised the clergyman that there will be no repetition of the exhibition. Supporters of the clergyman say the “dance craze’ has turned the heads of some high school teachers who in- cluded the Greek dance in the com- mencement program. The critics say the dance, which was an interpretation of “dawn,” in which the dancer, in alry costume, frolics about the stage in playful mood that affords opportunity for ex- hibition of agility and grace of form and motion, was out of place on a high school stage. It might have passed with only favorable comment, thev say, at an outdoor entertainment in the proper setting. PRINCE JOINS MARINE SERVICE.

New York, July 27.—Counterfeit revenue stamps with a face value of $2,000,000, forged whiskey labels, dies, cuts and printing presses were seized by Secret Servlice men and by the police late yesterday in the plant of the Imperial Press at 59 Ann street and a store room on the top floor at 47 Fulton street. So far as is known this was the biggest haul of its kind made since prohibition went into effect. The raids Were the result of a tip received ten days ago by Detective Sergeant Mich- ael Fiaschetti. From the stock on hand it was evident that the traffic had been going on for months. It took two trucks to carry the seized property to headquarters. Three men were arrested at the Ann street ad- dress, but nobody was found in the Fulton street store room. Detectives and Secret Service agents went to the Imperial Press offices only to find it locked. The door was forced, but no person was found on the prem- ises. Many thousands of labels were found of the variety used on whis- key and other liquor battles to give the contents the genuine appearance. Concealed in boxes were dies and cuts which could not be distinguished from those used by the federal gov- ernment. Two printing presses in the plant had been used to turn out the forged papers by the thousands, and there was evidence that the machines had been in almost constant use night and day to supply the demand of numerous bootleggers in this vi- cinity. Forged labels of choice brands were found, and it is well known that liquor purchased for geg- uine goods has bérne such labels only fo be found later ta be of the hooch variety.

ITALY-CANADA LINE New Immigration Law in United States So. Affects Italian Ships That Routes Are Sought to Canada. New Rome, July 27.—Italian navigation lines between Italy and America are having great dificulty in finding busi- ness for their liners at the present moment, due to the enactment of the present American immigration law. To meet the difficulties, the Navigazione Generale Italiana line has directed part of their ships into a new Italian-Can- adian service. This is the first Italian line that has been established between Italy and Canada_ The other steamship com- panies are also occupied on the problem of finding other fields for the surplus Italian population. It is expected that one or two more Italian companies will commence sailings to Canada, diverting their present New York service to that effect, Henry Ford should know, if anyone does, how to crank a Ford seems so amused at Ford’s labor, is H. car.

GRISWOLD DIES Prominent Berlin Resident, Aged 75 Years, Passes Away At the Home of His Son This Afternoon. ‘Ward H. Griswold, aged 75 years, died at the home of his son, George G. Griswold in Berlin early this aft- ernoon. Death was due to harden- ing of the arteries and ecqmplica- tions resulting. Mr. Grisweld was born in Manchester, Conn., August 4, 1846 and had been a resident of Berlin 27 years this last April, where he has made his home with his son. Previous to coming to Berlin he made his home in New Britain where for many years he cenducted a 3Iro- cery store on Franklin square. In 1902 Mr, Griswold suffered a shock and has been an invalid since that time. He was taken seriously ill nine weeks ago and has been in bed for that length of time. He is survived by his wife, three daughters, Fannie H., Emma J., Mary E., and one son George G. Griswold who is judge in the Berlin town court. Mr. Griswold was a member of the Sec” ond Congresgational church in Berlin and was also a member of the local G. A4 R. veterans’ association. Fu- neral arrangements are incomplete, but it is prebable that he - will ‘be burried in Talcotville where a daughter is buried. K. K. K. NOTE WARNS CAPPER NEWSPAPER Anonymous Writer Protests Laying of All Attacks by Masked Men to the Klan Topeka, Kas., July 27.—*“Let this be a warning to over anxious un- scrupulous and prejudiced newspaper reporters—The Ku Klux Klan.” This is the way an anonymous let- ter ends that has been received by Senator Arthur Capper’s daily paper in protest against the publication of accounts of crimes committed by masked men. In the publication of an article of this kind several days ago Senator Capper’s paper carried the heading. “Daily Crime Score of the Ku Klux Klan.” The writer of the anonymous letter objects to charging masked attacks against the Klan. The writer also as- serts that Topeka already has a Klan in which some of the city’s strongest businessmen are members. In this connection the letter says: “The Ku Klux Klan has come to stay. They are in our very midst today. It members are some of your strongest and most law-respecting citizens. They realize the impossibilty of the police force being able to cope with such a situation as presented to the United States today.” The writer of the letter sees no harm in the work the real agents of the “invisible empire” are doing. In this connection he says: “What crime is involved in the statement, ‘Beware evil doers,’ Pray do not be too hasty in misjudging this great organization that is doing the best to support the law in such times of dire need and stress.” 27, CITY ITEMS Axelrod’s on Park street is Tunning the overstocked sale.
