Du Pont de Nemours company, the General Motors corpor ation and the United States Steel corporation was ordered Friday by the Federal Trade commision. The investigation will be con ducted by the chief economist and will go directly to the question of the probable economic conse quences of a community of interest among the three largest industrial corporations in the United States.

WATER IN BASEMENT Considerable mud was carried in- to the assembly room of the Legion buildine last nicht on account of north areaway. carrying mud into the building and depositing same on the freshly tarred cement floor over which will be framed the maple dance floor. Large 8-inch guttering and down spout will be placed along this side in a few days, guarding against over flow and taking care of the water that would otherwise be forced onto the property of St. Paul's Evangeli cal church.

For tale at the Eatea Book & Gift Shoo Glenwood Probe Unlikely to Show Boy Was Abused Two Board Members So Intimate After Hearing in Bryant Case Superintendent Testifies. Glenwood, la., July 27. Formal hearing of charges of mistreatment of his 7-year-old son while a patient at the state institution for feeble minded here, brought by Fred Bryant of Burlington, la., was concluded here today by two members of the state board of control and Assistant Attorney General Gerald O. Blake. Following the hearing, G. Norman Clark and Senator A. M. McColl, board members, said that the official findings will be made after the case has been taken under advisement, when transcripts of testimony have been completed. Both Clarke and McColl intimated that no criticism of either Dr. George Mogridge. 71, connected with the institution as superintendent or as sistant superintendent for the past 3S years, or of the institution as a whole will result from the hearing. Assistant Attorney General Blake announced that he had found noth ing in the hearing that warranted ac tion by the state on criminal grounds. Senator McColl, senior board mem ber who has served for 14 years, said lie personally marveled at the excel lent care given the 1.C50 inmates. Says Patients Well Treated. "Money could not hire me to do the work these attendants are do ding." said McColl. "This is the first complaint of such a nature we have ever had to investigate. The board s visits are always unexpected, and we have found the condition of the pa tients at all times such as to indicate they are getting the best of treat ment." It was brought out in testimony of physicians and attendants that daily baths are given patients under 16 years of age, and that strict rules of cleanliness are enforced. Fred Bryant, the father, made the following statement after the hear ing: "This gathering knows enough of theethics of the medical profession to realize how reluctant one doctor is to say anything that would reflect on the reputation of another doctor. Nevertheless we have furnished affi davits of reputable Burlington phv- icians showing that there was evi dence of gross neglect in the case of my son. And I nnt blame the restitution for uncleanliness at least n the care of my boy. I have nothing to say concerning possible brutal treatment." "Can't Blame Dr. Mos?idge." County Atorney H- M. Ofelt of Burlington, who filed the formal complaint, said: ...... "We cannot blame Dr. Mogridge, except as he might bear the respon sibility for the acts of his subordin ates. We do not blame the institu- ion as a whole. I came here with i list of eight inmates from Burling on. Seven of these I found to be in excellent condition. The eighth, a boy, Florence Anderson. Quartered n the infirmary, where the Bryant boy was placed, did not seem so good. He was in the bathtub when I called, as if attendants had endeavor ed hurriedly to make him present able." Dr. Mogridge said that Ofelt prob ably visited the boy in the morning, when it is customary to give patients baths. House doctors and nurses testified hat the Bryant boy was among the most difficult caes handled at the nstitution. as he had no control of himself, and needed the care of an nfant. When Dr. Mogridge took the stand he was represented by C. E. Dean, personal counsel. Dr. J. A. Edwards, for nine years physician in the boys department, told how the Bryant boy had been in the hospital a week, when two scar let fever cases necessitated his re moval to the infirmary. He said the children had beeji given a treat of ice cream and cake Jul- 4 and that two days later the Bryant boy developed dysentry, for which he was treated, and also a running of the ears and eyes, an ail ment common to such patients. "The parents came after him July 9." said Dr. Edwards. "I did not con sider his condition serious then. If it is now critical as they say, he must have become so after he left the hos pital, as I visited him daily." Miss Gertrude Hazel, head nurse in the infirmary, testified that the boy had been bathed daily, that his illness had been treated by Dr. Ed wards. She said the Bryant boy's parents had made no complaint to her when they first saw the boy. Mrs. Helen Crocker, matron of the infirmary, also testified that it would have been impossible for the boy to have been mistreated, and that he had been bathed daily. Dr. T. B. Lacey, who first received the boy, and later conversed with his parents, said the boy was somewhat thinner on leaving than when had ccme. Says He Often Fell. Miss Frances Kenney, head nurse in the hospital ward, and Mrs. Mar garet Victor, a nurse, told how the boy often fell, while walking, or threw himself about, thus bruising himself. An instruction sheet, which was sent to the institution when the Bry ant boy arrived, designated special care, indicating that he had injured himself in previous falls, once suf fering a concussion, and that he also suffered from hernia and other ail ments. Dr. Mogridge on taking the stand told how he had made a special effort to receive the boy, although the in stitution was crowded, because the father had told how great a care the boy was to his mother. Jt waa be cause of scarlet fever that be was removed from the hospital. Dr. Mog ridge said. He related how personal letters went sent to parents each week and that four thousand letters of this kind had been sent since April 4. Mogridge said he did not learn of the dissatisfaction of the parents until his return from Council Bluffs, when he was so informed by Dr. La cey. Did Not "Dodge" Father. "Bryant's statement would infer that I dodged him on his arrival," said Dr. Mogridge. "Such is not the truth, as it is not my nature to dodge such complaints. I never have shirk ed my responsibility. Of course I re gret that Dr. Edwards did not write the parents as soon as their son be came ill, which was July 5 or 6." After the hearing has closed Mog ridge and Bryant entered into an argument over statements which Bryant attributed to Mogridge dur ing a conversation between the two on tne day tne Bryant Doy was re moved from the Glenwood home. Dr. Mogridge said he did not rec ollect "making any such remarks as you say I did." Dr. G. M. Agan of Glenwood, who examined the Bryant boy at a local hotel, following his removal from the institution .told of finding vari ous bruises, none of them serious and a scalded condition of the body He said his examination was not complete, but he did not find evidence of uncleanliness. Dr. Agan denied a statement made by Bryant on the witness stand that he had said the boy evidently was suffering from lack of water. The testimony will later be re view by the state board of control. One of the three members, who is ona vacation, will sit with the two members who conducted the hearing. OPINIONS DIFFER ON AWARD Washington, July 27. While President Coolidge desires to bestow the distinguished flying cross upon Clarence D. Chamberlin for his flight from New York to. Germany, army and naval officials are divided in their opinions as to whether he can do so without a specific act of con gress. Acting Secretary Warner of the navy said the law was plain that the cross could be awarded only to a flier on active duty with the army, navy, national guard or reserve corps. He added that as Chamberlin was at tached to none of these services at the time of his distance record breaking flight, he could not qualify for the cross. On the other hand, some army offi cials ventured a curbstone opinion that the chief executive could exer cise his authority as commander-in-chief of the nation's armed forces and award the cross of Chamberlin, who was commissioned a colonel in the Iowa national guard upon his return to the United States. FLIERS DECLINE OFFERS Berlin, July 27. Otto Koennecke and Count George Solmslaubach said today they had declined all offers from American, German and other newspaper syndicates to purchase the exclusive story of their projected trans-Atlantic flight. "Our flight is intended as a com pliment to the American people, both Koennecke and the count said to the Associated press. "We feel that to sell our story to one group of papers. however powerful or excellent, would immediately give a partisan tinge to our undertaking." As neither speaks much English they have visions of comical situa tions arising on their arrival in America. "When the Bellanca plane des cended at Eisleben, at least Levine knew German," Koennecke declared. (Charles A. Levin is the owner of the Bellanca plane "Columbia" in which he flew from America to Germany with Clarence Chamberlain as pilot.) There is no telling, however. what will happen to us," added Koennecke. OFFICER ADMITS SLAYING Hagerstown, Md., July 27. T. E. Walters, a prohibition agent of this city, late last night confessed to the murder of Hunter R. Stotler, fifty-two-year-old chief of agents for this county, as the two drove in Walters' atuomobile, near Boonsboro, last night, it was announced by State's Attorney Harper Ballentine. Confession came after Walters had been grilled for five and a half hours by the state's attorney and city and county police. Walters said he shot Stotler because the latter had been too attentive to Mrs. Walters. Stot ler, whose home was in Keyser, W. Va., lived with the Walters while in this city. In his confession, Walters stated that just a few moments before he shot Stotler, he told the West Vir ginian of his intentions, the state's attorney said. DAWES SPEAKS ON PARIS MEET Grenville, Miss., July 29. The thought that when its members go to France in September and march un der the Arch of Triumph, they will pass the shrine of France, the tomb of the Unknown Soldier, was com mended to the American Legion Thursday night by Vice President Charles G. Dawes. Declaring he knew that In the heart of every American Legionnaire there exists the greatest desire that their visit to France may strengthen the bonds of friendship between them and contribute to the friendly rela tions of the two countries, the vice president called attention to a "con sideration which would not be over looked" the difference in the Amer ican and French attitude toward a military parade of veterans. One of the greatest literary suc cesses of tha year is "The Cutters," the latest work of Bess Streeter Aid rich, Nebraska's own authoress.
