Two Accusations.

II was made known through Commits
sioner Kingsburys secretary and depu-
ties that General Inspector binwddie's
complete report contains numerous spe-
cifc charges In support OF each general
charge. Before II was decided not 10
make public these specific accusations
involving cruelty and mismsnagement,
Mr.. Kingshury's subordnates mentioned
two accusations.
One was that agents employed in the
INVESTIGATION went through the dormi-
tories at night When they lifted the
bed clothing of some children pltiful
voices begged them. Don't hit me"
Another was that some of the en-
ployees on Randalls Island have learned
the trick OF heating children without
saving black and blue marks on tender
flesh.
Hundreds Of the employees are listed
as hospital helpers. They are poorly
paid, the ma ajority receiving SEQ or $50
a year and some do not by any means
represent very highly humanzed types.

their functions normally he is drunk.
"A man need not stagger and yet lie
drunk Liquor produces different re-
suits on different men. Two drinks may
intoxica,o one man and twenty may
leave another sober. II makes one man

brute In some and others II makes genial
