MISTAKE in DRUG
BLAMED AS SECOND
PATIENT NEARS END
Woman Being Treated for
Eye Trouble May Have
Received Fatal Dose.

Following the death of Dornin
Ellis, 73 years old, in George Wash
ington University Hospital Friday
night. said to have been due to
the administration by the nurse in
charge, OF a dose of bichloride of
mercury for one of sulphate of mag
nesia, every effort is being made by
hospital authorities to save the life
Of a second patient who, it is said,
was given a similar dose.
DR.. William Cline Borden, dean of
the medical university, who spent
the day in making a thorough in
veshgation of he unfortunate in
cident, admitted yesterday that the
second patient was in a precarious
condition He sssd that there Was
a possibility that the patient might
die during the night and that again
she might linger for ten days or
recover completely. The patients
name is being withheld by the hos
pital authorities but she is described
as a woman about rs years old, who
came to the hospital a week ago
with eye trouble
Holding to the belief that it was
possible that. through error. BIZ
chloride of mercury had been poured
into the bottle of suIphate of mag
nesia and that the nurse had taken
the correct bottle, an analysis was
made of the contents of the bottle
yesterday. 1t was found, however,
that there was no evidence of mer-
curry in the magnesia bottle thus
exploding this theory.
Nurse Asked to Explain.
Miss Josephine Mach, %, the nurse
who is said to have made the error
was called upon for an explanation
by DR.. Borden yesterday afternoon.
DR.. Borden said she had been re-
lieved from duty during the official
investigation of the incident.
DR.. Borden emphatically denies
at the hospital and branded as
'poppycock" statements to the ef-
feet that the nurses and physi-
clans on duty were worked to a
point of exhaustion.
We have never had so many
nurses in the history of the hOspi-
tal." Borden said yesterday 1--WE
now have almost one nurse for
every patient. There are eighty
four patients in the hospital and
at lea-s sixty-five nurses to take
care of them.
Bottles Plainly Marked.
Both of the bottles were plainly
marked. Whom the nurses are in
strUcted they are warned they must
not only look carefully at the label
on the bottle, but also must smell
the contents before giving a dose.
Miss Mach has admitted to me
that as soon as she had given the
doses and seen the effects on the
patients that she remembered they
were effects brought from bichIor-
ide of mercury and she Immediately
called for aid There has been no
attempt on her part to cover up
her mistake"
If the condition of Miss Mach per-
mits, an inquest will be held at the
morgue at 2:3O p. m. tomorrow
afternoon, DR.. ]. Ramsay hewitt has
announced.
Funeral services for Ellis, who
was a native of this city, will be

WASHINGTON, Aug. s. - Agree ment to eliminate the taxes on foun- tain drinks and ice cream. and the so-called luxury tax on wearing appar el is understood to have been reach ed today by Republican members of the house ways and means committee sitting in executive session.

 The total loss ef revenue from these proposed changes would be slightly less than $50,000.

 The wearing apparel levies propos- ed for repeal are 10 per cent of the amount by which the costs of:
 WCmen's and misses hats, bonnets and hoods. exceed $15 each: women S and misses silk stockings or hose ex- ceed $2 per pair; mems, women's, misses and boys boots. shoes, pumps and slippers exceed $10 per pair: mems and boys silk stockings or hose e-;caed S1 per pair; mems shirts eX- ceed S9 each; mems and boys hats , exceed S5 each; mems and boys caps exceed S2 each; mems and boys neck ties and neckwear exceed $2 each; mems, women's, misses and boys pa jamas. nightgowns and underwear ex- ceed $5 each; kimonos, petticoats and waists exceed $15: mems waistcoatS l,,ot tnIx frn each, and house or smoking coats or jackets and bath or lounging robes exceed S750 each.

RESERVE BANKS P ART IN CRISIS
 TOLD CONGRESS
Head of N. Y. Institution, in Hearing Yesterday, Says
 Price Drops Not Forced

WASHINGTON, Aug. s. - An ex- planation of banking and monetary principles, which, he said, have con trolled the federal reserve system since-its inception, was given today before a congressional commission by Governor Strong of the New York re- serve bank. in defense of charges that in it's operations, it has dlScrlmmat- ing agalnst agricultural credit needs. Deliberate imitation of credit by low cred interest rates, with consequent increased prices, was resorted to dur ing the war as a military necessity, he said, but deflation and price drops in recent months was not 1orceo py the board but was inevitable and worldwide. Higher interest rates by the reserve system he described as more or less incidental.
 New York, far from being favored, asserts Strong, had been subjected to pressure by interest rates to liqui- date greater than in any other part of the country" Although describing collapse of prices in 1920, as the most serious in modern time," he told the commission that he consider ed the business situation well em- parked now upon cycle of recov- cry" and cited industrial resumption. advancing prices of high grade secur- ities and lower interest rates as symp- , toms.
 You cannot very well administer interest without some effect on prices," Governor Strong said, but the banking machinery was not Oper. ated with eyes on a chart to move Inem up and down.
 "The reserve bank rates," he add ed, "are a reflection of conditions rath CT than an endeavor to influence con Editions, and they are an effect and not cause"

Officers Find Auto Used
 By Man Who Killed Young
 Los Angeles Insurance Man

LOS ANGELES, Aug. S.-Admis- turned here today in custody in con nection with the staying last Friday of J. Belton Kennedy, led today to the discovery of a rented roadster equip ped with tires of a peculiar tread, which tires made an impression that fitted the marks left in a lane last Friday night by car supposed to have been driven by the slayer. Off cers uncovered evidence tending to indicate Burch rented a car that night.
 Burch and Madelynne Obenchain, the young woman held as a material witness, were returned to their cells in the county jail today after they had separately faced interviewers from the district attorneys office and after each had, according to the inter- viewers, made statements that failed to correspond with those of the other.
 Kennedy was shot on the steps of his little summer cottage in Beverly Glen while Mrs. Obenchain, a young divorced woman, awaited him at the top of the flight of steps leading to his door. Burch was taken from a train at Las Vegas, New, and return ed here in custody after it had been shown that he and Mrs. Oberchain were childhood friends, college mates and had been in correspondence re- gently and that Burch had sat in a hotel room across Broadway from Kennedy's office for ten days before the staying, had ben absent from his room when it occurred, and had left for him home in Evanston, H., the fol lowing morning.
 Today, aided by guarded statements from Burch, deputies found that a man giving the names of Jones and the address of an uncle and aunt of Burch, his only relatives here. had rented an automobile here from an agency on the night of the staying.
 The automobile agency's records did not disclose the rental of a car to anyone giving the name of Burch There was rental to man giving his name as "J. w. Jones'" and giving an address that the officers said was

 Passage is Assured

WASHINGTON. Aug. S.-The Cap per-Tincher bill to prohibit gambling in grain today was given right of way in the senate upon disposal of the anti-beer bill. Both measures are features of the pre-recess plan of sen atOrS, who hope to secure a four or six weeks recess of the senate late thIS week if President Harding should consent to delaying the railroad debt funding bill.
 Passage of the Capper-Tincher bill before the weekend is proposed. It has been so amended, it is said. as to secure solid support of the senate agriculture committee, which today had Senator Capper, Republican, Kan sas. submit the revised measure Another effort was made today to have the agriculture committee re strict the provisions for admission of cooperative associations of members of grain exchanges with the right to rebate commissions. Certain grain exchanges are apprehensive. mem bers of the committee said, that co. operative associations. composed of farmers, might gaincontrol of a large part of the grain exchange bus. mess The committee refused how ever. to modify the admission provis ion, but agreed to modify slightly It's amendment for the rebating of com missions by providing that the com missions should become a part of the earnings of the association to be dis | tributed among its bona fide mem l bers.

 Upon being informed of the action, treasury officials said that the beer regulations which have been drafted and are ready for Secretary Mellon's signature, would not be issued pend ing action by the senate and house conferees.

These included a provision to restrict operations of prohibition enforcement officers by prohibiting searches, or any attempts at searching, of private property or premises without search warrants. A violation Of this clause would be a misdemeanor. subject to fine of SlOO0 and one years imprisonment. Penal ties of five years imprisonment and 5000 fines were provided for persons attempting searches while posing as prohibition agents.

that of an uncle and an aunt of Burch, his only relatives here.
 A reconstruction of the killing by officers developed that the man who killed Kennedy stood in ambush after placing his car iG an unused road leading to a gravel pit not far from the Kennedy cottage. Marks of the tires were found in this road and else where. Today officers drove the roadster that had been taken by Jones'" to the scene of the shooting and compared the tires with the inn prints there. The tire design was unusual, the officers said.
 Mrs Obenchain denied, according to the officers, that she had ever wis ited Burch's room across the street from Kennedy's office. A photograph of the woman was shown the hotel proprietor shortly after her detention and he said she was not the visitor. Today after seeing her in person at the jail he changed his statement and identified her positively as the woman who had frequently visited Burchs room and whose calls had been explained by the statement that she was cousin" and called on bus mess.
 The officers wre engaged tonight in trying to trace the shotgun with which Kennedy was killed. It was a twelve gauge gun, they knew, for the empty shells were picked up at the cottage But thorough search ot the vicinity failed to bring it to light and they believed that it had either been rented and returned to the own CTS of else placed in pawn after tho shooting
