standing under the arch in the
White House. where Alice Roose-
yelt was married. and where our late
President Harding lay in state.
Laugh I know you will. but for-gall
of a dozen guards being around. I
sot away with it just the same. an
was not even-asked to check my
camera or gun. as were many of the
other visitors. including my huddle.
who dressed for the occasion.
Returning to our camp. we found
that nothing had been r‘i-‘urbed. so
after the usual routine camp work.
we turned in. only to be awakened
at 3:80 by a terrific storm. After
making everything snug for a wet
spell, and enjoying a good smo'ke. we
returned to bed to awake in. the
morning with it still raining hard.
This is on’e of the times when one
is. on a trip like this that he must
not get discouraged. So building a
good are (I was meanwhile wrapped
in my ,old poncho), we settled down
to hot coffee and a long wait. “he
put in all day in a continual drizzle
and that night slept in the car. ‘
To add to our luck. a. Mr. Possum
came along that night and cleaned
us out of grub. which we supposed
safe in the tents. so that in the
morning we were forced to buy eggs
from a near-by farm-house.

But why feel down in the boots?
Packing everything up wet. we
caught the old Tidewater Trail to
Fredricksburg. and there camped for
Saturday afternoon and Sunday to
dry out. shave. bathe. and get in
shape for the following week's run.
Here. too. we had our first puncture.
a horse-shoe nail in a forward tire.
Monday morning. October 22nd.
we broke camp at 7:30, and with the
old battle cry of "On to Richmond."
we drove like mad. passing the spot
where General Grant camped. and
where Lee surrendered. General
Stewart's tomb. and hundreds of his-
torical spots. until 11 A. M. found
us in Richmohd.

Our camp the night before was
the old battle ground of Spotsylvnn-
is. one hundred yards from the line
where the blue met the gray. and
where one day years ago was enacted
a; scene'of awful carnage.

After buying provisions in Rich-
mond. we drove off and it still con-
tinuing cold and wet, we camped in
a pine grove where. with our tents
banked high and a. good bed of pine
needles. we enjoyed a comfortable
night. getting up at 6:80 the next
morning ready to lick our grandmoo
thers. and hungry as hours.

It had rained hard all night. so
without waiting for breakfast. we
again broke camp. and driving ten
miles down the line to a little town
called McKinney. we stopped at a
little hotel. where we had- a real
breakfast of Toasties. bacon and
eggs. but biscuits. fried chicken.
baked apples. and coffee.
Four-thirty found us in the city of
Henderson, North Carolina, eighty-
six miles farther on. with roads in
ahlenperiv condluom weather coin
and rainy. and a shimmy in the car.
Thoroughly tired out. we spent
our first and only night in a hotel.
Getting up the next morning cem-
pletely rested. I found the knuckle
Joints on the rod of the car had be-
come loosened from the terrific
strain of the day before, causing the
car to say "How do you do?" to
everyone on the street. Well. a
Monkey wrench soon remedied this
trouble and we were off again.
From Henderson to Moncure the
roads. which consist of red clay.
were in a terrible condition. being
treacherous and slippery from three
days rain.

At Southern Pines we struck our
first warm weather. and from there
on it has been fine. .
Columbia was our next stop. and
South Carolina “sure has some
beautiful rodes."

From Columbia to Agusta. Go...
the roads were fine. but for the bal-
ance of Georgia. -—Well. the less said
the better. only I will say this, that
by the time I crossed the St. Mary's
River into Florida I could compete
in a “cussing" contest with any Jack

In Georgia. one commences to
realize a change in air. temperature,
people and conditions, more than in
any state left behind. Chain gangs.

miles working the roads. colored
folks are even more plentiful. people
are later. and the whole state seems
to have fallen asleep years ago and
not yet awakened. The Georgia
cracker is satisfied if he makes his
three meals a day and has a place
to sleep. Further than that, he
cares for nothing.

Still. for all the poor roads. I can-
not say that we did not enjoy our
trip across the state this time. for
the evenings were warm. there were
no mosquitoes to bother. and at
night what is more pleasant than to

-—Probe Continues
WASHINGTON. Nov.
senate investigation of the Veterans'
Bureau entered today malts final
work. “rub the testimony of Chas. R.
Forbes. the former director, and
the e-examlnation of Elias H. Mor~
timer of Philadelphia. his principal
accuser, behind it. the committee of
inquiry was determined to resume
the constructive side of its work -
the-gathering of information. which
will be'of aid in formulating relief
legislation for congress.

One or two more witnesses in. be-
half of Forbes remain to be heard,
but Chairman Reed and his collea-
gues are hopeful that the testimony
relating to the domestic‘difficulties of
the principals in the inquiry have
been concluded.

Only one outstanding xfewchargc
was presented by Mortimer when he
resumed the stand Friday night for
further examination by council for
tire committee. He testified that he.
Forbes. Charles F. Cramer. -former
counsel of the bureau. who commit-
ted suicide _last March and J. W.
Thompson. senior member of the
Chicago contracting firm of Thomp-
son and Black. entered into an ar-
rangement whereby the Pontiac Con-
struction Co. of Detroit.’ Mich.. a
subsidiary of Thompson and Black
Co.. was to get the contract for con-
structing foundations for the North-
ampton. Mass. veterans' hospital.

Mortlmcr's charge was that Cra-
mer was to open the bids and then
inform Thompson by telephone at
the Lee House in Washington of the
figures submittedby the other two
bidders and that then Thompson was
to put in a bid for the Pontiac com-
pany. He declared this arrangement
was carried out and that this ex-
plained previous testimony in the
case as to why the bid of the Pontiac
company was not received with that
of the other concerns competing for

TALK WORRYING
GREAT BRITAIN

 

Ruhr Permanently—
~ Paris Explains Lat-
est Speecli. '

LONDON. Nov. 1 9.—I“l i'nce's
threat to impose further penalties on
Germany if the Reich does not agree.
to protect the inter-allied mission of
military control is regsrdtd here as
putting Great Britain 'in a serious
dilemna.

Premier Poincare's Sunday 'epeech
at Ncullly has been interpreted in
some quarters as equivalent to a
declaration that France intends to
stay in the Ruhr permanently. It
is taken for granted that Great
Britain would have nothing ,to do
with any such action. any more than
she would support France in pi lting
into effect new measures of coercion
to compbl the extension of the allied
military control.

Lord Crews, ambassador to to shoe
has been instructed to support
France in demanding the resumption
of military control in Germany. with
in practical limits. but not to give
British sanction to any such force-
ful measures as those advocated by
Premier Poincare.

PARIS. Nov. 19.—France's deter-
mination to continue German occu-
pation until the treaty of Vsrmilles
has been executed and protection
assured. as expressed by Preimier
Poincare in his speech at Neuilly
yesterday. applies only to the Rhine-
land and the bridgeheads according
to an official foreign office state-
ment issued through the Usvas
agency today. The statement adds
that decision concerning the Ruhr
will be dependent upon agreement
with Belgium.

It is as follows:

"Certain newspapers seem not to
have understood the exact sense of
the words the premier pronounced
yesterday when in an address at
Neuilly he declared:

“France also is determined not to
evacuate territories occupied by
virtue of the treaty until all clam
singed at Versailles have teen com.
pletely executed."

“Most of the newspapers of Paris
merely emphasided the pi‘snier‘s on-
larged policy by printing his remarks
on the subject in italics or black
faced type.” , _

NEW YORK. Nov. lit—Moro than

New York harbor yesterday.

It is a. Christmas invasion. They
are wooden and tin soldiers. They
are much more peaceable than the

of them wearing the Iron Cross.

The invasion which would have
been “verboten" not so very long

of military excitement is expected to
be a factor in bringing about the

ernor Chat-Lu A. Templeton in an ad.
dress before the Sunday Noon club
of the Second. Congregational church
here .yesterday. "I have 143 men

them up." ' .

passed the Eclectic certain ouali-

' fications. He raid hewas advised to

sign the bill byitwo leading doctors
of the regular school‘on‘ the ground
tho: he would make trouble for
himself if he did not sign it. The
Governor censured the doctors: and
the other citizens of the state for
taking so-little interest in the defeat
of the old bill. “Only one doctor and
not a single other citizen said any—
thing to me against the. bill." assert-
ed the Governor.

Governor Templeton expressed ri-
dicule at the, ignorance of some leg-
islators of the State regarding the
"diploma mill" scandal. Governor
from the south of the State. when
asked whdt the word "eclectic"
meant. replied. "I' don't. know, i
never studied eicctricity,"'sald the
governor.

"Provided that evidence produced
by the Grand Jury shows conditions

Templeton announced ,here today.

“Expenses Justified."

"The calling of a special session
is an expensive matter." Governor
Templeton said. "and should only be
resorted to when thevimportance of
the occasion and health of the re-
sidents of this state should be safe-
guarded."

A share of the blame for the al-

investigation lies with the statutes.
for allowing quacks to obtain li-
censes. in the opinion of Governor
Templeton.

”The present laws covering this
case." he said. "have been on the
books. I believe since 1881. The

practically self-perpetuating. I. am
powerless to appoint anybody to that
board that the eclectics don't recom-
mend. And I have to accept their
recommendation when I do not

"It ought not to be that way. The
matter should be left to the discre-
tion of the governor.

A news story published today.

quoting Prof. William R. Sacha's
Missouri official and important wit-
ness for the state. to the afloat that
a member of the eclectic board sec
cured his Connecticut license through
purchased credentials. was taken by
Dr. White to refer to himself. since
he is the only board member hold-

’ "It looks to me as though I were
being framed." he said. "I tell you
on my word of honor that I have
never even been to St. Louis and
that when I graduated from the lac-
lcctlo Medical University in Kansas
City a number of years ago. it was
in good standing. I have absolute-
ly no knowledge of the so-called dip.

or do amost anything in an investi-
gation of this kind. and that may ex-
plain the insinuations that have been
made about me.”

P o w e r f 111 Rings f
Fake Doctors in Bog-
ton and Chicago also,-
Say N. H. Probers

HARTFORD. Conn- Nov. 19.—
The pail hiding the activities of
quack doctors in New York was
part‘ ly lifted today by State's Attor-
ney Alcorn. titer he had questioned
two witnesses who will testify to-
morrow before the grand jury inves~
tigating the Connecticut quack ring.
Information he obtains will be for-
warded to New York officials.

A hospital of high standing in
New York City was mentioned by
the witnesc. 7

_ Benedict M. Holden. prominent
attorney. who is foreman of the
Grand Jury. also heard the witness-
es' charges concerning New York
conditions. _, He. too. it was report-
ed. said he would be just as dill-
gent in going to the bottom of all
charges concerning quackery in New
York.

He said that every speck of evi-
dence relating to New York quackr
would be followed and developed
and then forwarded to the prosecul.
ing authorities there.

Powerful Cliques.

Existence of other powerful rings
in Boston and Chicago was disclosed
to Holden and Alcorn to-day. it
was promised that these. too. would
be fully investigated.

The college from which. witness-

es charge many New York men r.-
ceived diplomas. was the now :ie-
funct Kansas City College of Med'.
cine and Surgery. Four high offi-
cials of the college are under indict-
ment in the West.
' One of them. Professor William
P. Sachs. is one of the two Witness~
es who gave information to the
prosecutor Saches and Harry
T. Brundlge. the other witness. crej-
ited with having disclosed the na.
lion-wide quack rings. arrived from
St. Louis Saturday night.

Sachs. formerly a. clergyman, says
his conscience has forced him to
confess and to bring to punishment
quacks, diploma mill leaders and
State oilicials whom he bribed.

Three Connecticut State officials
were named by him yesterday. Re hi.
so revealed that the quacks hold no
eclectic diplomas. but degrees call-
ing them allopathic, or old line phys-
iclans.

The eclectic examining board in
Connecticut was “reached." he says:
therefore the quacks became tem—
porary eolectlcs.

The men who bought diplomas
were carpenters. plumbers, mechan-
dcs asdirza’fimm his arm Lonny.

Methods by which they obtained
licenses to practice in New York.
Bostongand Chicago were also re-
vealed by Professor Sachs.

I“is practice has been. he testified.
for officials of the diploma mill to
accompany their "graduates" to a
city. such as New York. Here. regu-
larly licensed. but unscrupulous.
physicians would be paid to take the
State examinations in the name of
the diploma mill graduates.

Hundreds of quacks have gained
entrance to New York in this man-
ner. he declares.

Every practicing physician is re-
quired to have a passport photo
attached to his license in New York.
The difficulty was surmounted.
Sachs said. but using an especially
prepared photograph of the doctor
taking the examination. This photo
fades out in a month. so that the
quack who then possesses it is im-
.mune from detection.

Sach's testimony regarding. the
methods used in Connecticut stag-
gered even Holden and Alcorn.

The diploma mill officials now
under indictment. he swore. would
accompany their “graduates" to a
hotel in New Haven. where the
State Eclectic Medical Examinlnl
Board conducted official license
examinations. We. women and
song were not nliheard of on these
occasions.
