HARDING'S PHYSICIAN " AGCUSED BY SPRAGUE General Sawyer Charged With Holding Up Care of Wounded Veterans Chicago, July 25 (By the Associated Press)—Col. A. A. Sprague, chairman of the American Legion's National Re- habilitation committe, in a letter to Brig. General Charles E. Sawyer, per- | sonal physician to President Harding and chief co-ordinator of the federal ! board of hospitalization, made public today, charges that General Sawyer is | standing in the way of proper care for wounded and shell shocked veter- ans and holding up hospital plans voted by congress. Appealing to General Sawyer to “stand aside,” Col. Sprague said more than 4,504 mental cases still are con- fined in contract institutions and that of the remaining 4,715 victims of men- tal disorders only 3,500 are in gov- ernment institutions devoted entirely to their care. Quoting from a letter received from General Sawyer, in which the chief co- ordinator sald "I am convinced that the peak of hospitalization hak been passed,” and that the government had sufticient beds, except in two districts, Col. Sprague replied: “It is almos unbelieveable that, hav- ing satisfled congress that these hos- pitals were needed and that they BORAH RECOHMENDS UOAL_ COMMISSION Would Have Three Members In- vestigate and Suggest Legislation STANDARDIZING OF MINES Judge William Malone of | ...

Wolf was arrested on Thursday night by Sergeant Ellinger, charged with being the man who assaulted Mrs. Papenforth on her way home late that night. Wolfe says he and several friends had been in Hartford and were returning to this city. It is gaid they were taken off a trolley car and, he alleges, he was choked and beaten by the police after which he was taken to the Papenforth home. Mrs. Papenforth, on, the strength of the fact that he wore a gray suit and cap that corresponded to her assailant, identified him, he says, as the man who attacked her. Papenforth Used Fists, At this point he is alleged to have been roughly handled by Papenforth, who, he says, struck him on the jaw and otherwise mistreated him sv bad- ly that the police had difficulty in sepawating them.

Halloran of this city, and Augustine M. Lonergan, who promises to give Thomas J. Spellacy a battle for the senatorial nomination, will be invited to the first annual outing of the Hard- ware City Democrat club to be held next month, officials of the club said today. Neither Mr. Lonergan nor Mr, Dut- ton will be asked to speak. The pro- gram will be made up of addresses by | Messrs. Spellacy and FitzGerald, can- didates for senator and governor, re- spectively, The club has already gone on rec- ord as approving the candidacy of Mr. Halloran and he is understood to have been pledged the entire New Britain delegation at the congressional con- vention. Mr. Dutton is sald to have expressed a desire to attend the out- ing and accordingly he will be in. vited, it is explained. In anticipation of a close fight for the senatorial nomination, the club has decided that the bettter course would be to have both Spellacy and Lonergan on hand so that the elec- tors may have an opportunity to come in contact with both men. It is freely admitted that opinion as to who the better and stronger can- didate would be is divided in local democratic ranks.

Secretary Hoover, in making this announcement today, said ratification of the emergency plan for distribution and restriction of unfair prices by the operators’ association was expected within 48 hours, but if co-operation was withheld in any district, the government would proceed to appoint the necessary local com- mittees. The emergency coal control plan, Mr, Hoover stated, was in- tended to apply to all coal produced, whether in the non-union or union fields, and it was indicated that service orders by the in- terstate commerce commission, providing priorities in the alloca- tion of coal cars, might be expected almost immediately. . As regards the coal strike itself, Mr. Hoover declared the government had exhausted every means toward & settlement, that it had offered arbitration which had been rejected, and that the matter to be taken care of now, was the distribution of coal as produced. He emphasized the intention of the government to prevent the advance of coal prices and declared that under the emergency program, no freight cars would be allocated to those who tried “to rob the public.” Sharp advances in prices have been report- ed to the commerce department from some localities, he said, reaching as high as $13.50 a ton in western Kentucky. Selection of the personnel of the central committee of gov- ernment officials to supervise the operation of the emergency plan was expected to be discussed with President Harding today by Secretary Hoover and announcement of its make-up to be made NEWR.

Industrial coal was said to be unobtainable at any price in New York. In Chicago increases from $5.25 to $16.25 a ton in coal prices were announced.

The demand has profoundly impressed the Bulgarian government, which has asked the opposition party to sustain the government in opposition to what it terms the commission’s exaggerated demand.

J Missionaries in Orient B lame Movies, Claiming Heathens Think America is Uncivilized Place Pasadena, Cal, July 25.—American motion pictures are blamed for the troubles of American missionaries in the Orient in a report from the wom- en's board for foreign missions, pre- sented here to the annual sessions of the Presbyterian synods of Arizona and California. The report declares that the’ na- tives of Canton, Shanghai, Tokio, Calcutta, Bombay and Jerusalem, viewing ‘“western” pictures, conclud- ed that all American men are “bar- baric savages,” who gamble for a living, drink whiskey like water, car- ry two guns and a bowie knife, and kill their fellow men as a pastime; and that American women are dance hall girls who smoke cigarettes, drink heavily and ‘“sell themselves for a jcoin or a smile.” The other pictures shown in the Orient are of the eternal triangle var- iety, the report contihued. “In Jerusalem, within one hundred yards from the grave in the garden where the Saviour of the world lay after his crucifixion,” the report de. clared, “there i{s a movie run by an lenemy of all righteousness, showing revolting and sensual pictures of Am- erican life.

It was pointed out that the board has power to grant full recognition to the new shopmen's unions which ' 40 Eastern railroads under the ieadership of 1.
