FAILURE TO ENBALM
BRINGS INDICTMENT
Glynn County Officials Must Answer
to Charges Preferred by Govern
ment Investigators.

Brunswick, June ii. ID. Baldwin
Glynn county's sheriff, who is also
engaged in the undertaking business.
has been indicted by the Glynn county
Grand jury, following an investigation
conducted by the Department of JUS
Sice and the Butterworth-Judson Cor
poration, builders of the government
picric acid plant in this city.
The Indictment was returned by
the grand jury yesterday afternoon
after a number of witnesses had been
introduced and a thorough investiga-
ton made, The trouble is the result
of the rl.rial here last fall of some
fifty Porto Ricans, who died after ar
irving in this city. The Porto Ricans
were brought here to engage in work
OH the acid plant and many of them
arrived sick The Influenza was pre-
vailing at the time and this caused
the death of some. while other died
from ptomaine poisoning. The CON
tract for the burying of the Porto Ri
cans was awarded to Baldwin and he
was to embalm every one of the
jodiesli as ii was the intention of the
government to later have the bodies
forwarded to Porto Rico.
Only Few Bodies EmbaImed
When his bill was submitted the
physician in charge at the acid plant
refused to approve it and without its
approval, the Butterworth-Judson Cor
poration refused to pay it. Then fol-
lowed an investigation, made by the
Department of Justice, it being claim
ed that all of the bodies had not been
enbalmed. A representative OF the
Department, together with physicians
visited the cemetery and bodies OF
many of the dead Porto Ricans were
eXhumed, and it was then discovered
that only few of them had been EN-
balmed, according to the evidence be-
fore the grand jury, while the bills
had been submitted charging for the
embalming of all of the bodies, some
fifty-odd in number.
Since that investigation the matter
has been inabeyance at Washington
and no action was taken, it being de-
layed to decide whether it should be
handled in the United States or state
court. Finally it was referred to the
local grand jury and the case was tax
en- up yesterday
The physician who was stationed at
the plant at the time of the death OF
the Porto Ricans was the principal!
witness. while others were also intro
,duced. The case will probably be tried
at the next session of the superior
court or it may be transferred to the
city court.

About two years ago 1 was in miserable condition on account of my kidneys and my whole back from my shoulders to my hips ached some- thing awful. My kidneys were in a bad condition. Many times spots and flecks floated before my sight and I would get terribly dizzy. l was just about all unstrung and all run down when I began using Doan's Kidney Pills. They helped me from the start and before long l was cured of the trouble. The cure has lasted, thanks to Doan's Kidney Pills"

TILE DOUCHBOYS
 HELD THEIR GROUND

From the moment that American commander said, "Retreat-hell, we just got here!" in answer to the impor tunities of the hard-pressed French, the American doughboys held every inch of ground they took. They are now hold ing ground in Germany It cost them flesh and blood, comrades dead and wounded, to win and hold their ground It Is costing them the rigors of army life and the opportunity of getting back to paying jobs to hold the Ger man soil where they are now.
 Are you holding your Liberty Bonds! Or, are you giving up hard won terrain to the enemy?
 The boys over there can't retreat They have to stick. They will gc farther into Germany, probably. They can't say the war is over and give up.
 The least any American can do is tc hold his Liberty Bonds-hold them out of respect for the men still under arms If for no other reason. When you sell a Liberty Bond or trade it for some stock, worthless or otherwise, you are retreating. -.-
 That American commander who said "Retreat-hell. we just got here!" was American flesh and bone. Are you?
 Then hold your bonds. Put them in the bank. Borrow on them if you have to. But hold them.
