CATION Of Fox Hills Hospital and the
management Of that institution under
the dictatorship Of DR.. J. 0. Cobb was
given added impetus yesterday when
members of the womens auxiliary of
the American Legion throughout New
York State began notifying the Con-
gressmen of their districts that thew
desired the immediate launching of a
governmental inquiry into the hospital
and its affairs.
This action was taken as the result
of a meeting held in New York CITY
Thursday, when 600 delegates of the
auxiliary, representing every county
in the state, decided unanimously to
take such action after they were asked
to do so by William +. Deegan, state
commander of the Legion.
"The sick, wounded and disabled
war heroes at Fox Hills must not bt

disgrace to the nation another winter. .
State Commander Deegan said yester.
day. Colonel C. r. Forbes, of the
Veterans Bureau, has said that the
hospital is to be abandoned; but thai
promise has been made by others many
times before. The Legion is going to
exert itself to the utmost to obtain
its evacuation before cold weather sets
in, and if necessary will call on every
civic organization Of the country for
support toward that end.

Accidentally Kills
Friend and Flees
To Take Own Life
Woodmere Bus Line Owner
Shoots Innkeeper as He
Tells What He'd Do if
He Met an Auto Bandit

William V. Gels, proprietor of Hew-
lett Inn, Hewlett, L. l., died yesterday
afternoon in St. Joseph's Hospital, Far
Rockaway, Of a bullet wound accident
ally inflicted Thursday night by Paul
Weidman of Woodmerc, president of
the Nassau Bus Line..~-
Weidman overcome by grief and re-
morse, fled in his automobile after the
accident, taking his revolver with him.
His friends have not seen him since and
fear that he may have carried out a
threat he made to end his life His
autom obile was found abandoned in
Jamaica. The revolver was not in it.
Gels, Wcidman and Jacob Daub were
at Hewlett Inn Thursday night discuss
ing a hunting trip they intended to
take together in the Adirondacks. They
intended to go by automobile and the
conversation turned toward tie topic
of highway robberies, in which many
motorists in Long Island have been
vict ms lately.
wejdman said he was prepared for
gentry Of tn { kind and drew a re-
volver from his pocket. Gels took the
we@uHn rom him, broke it and extract
ed the cartridges, saying: "If you want
" show l.e i levol er youVe got to
sake the tells out first"
When the three friends had examined
the revolver Weidman reloaded it and
started to slip it back into his pocket.
The hammer caught on the edge Of his
pocket or his finger caught in the
trigger, for the revolver was dis.
ch rg' d, and Gels fell. shot through
the abdomen.
For m ment Weidman stood staring
incredulously at the wounded man. At
Daub's suggestion that he h d better
put the revolver away, he glanced a.
the weapon as if he never had seen it
before and thrust it into his pocket.
"I'll do away with everythingi" he
cried suddenly "Ill do away with
myself"
AS he rushed from the room Daub
heard the throb of his motor mo-
ment later. After Geiss death friends
Of Weidman instituted a vigorous
search for him, believing that when
the news reached him he would carry
out his threat if, indeed, he had not
already done so. All they could learn
was that the police had found his
empty automobile in Jamaica.
Louis Ra;sig, acting Coroner, saw
Gels in the hospital shortly before his
death and the wounded man made

ATLANTIC CITY, Oct. 14.-Mrs Mary
H. Drischman, chief beneficiary under
the will of the late Alice Gerry Girls
void, onetime Baltimore belle, de-
nounced as liars and slanderers in
Judge Ingersoll's court to-day every
ore Of the witnesses who have testified
against her and in behalf of Countess
Anna St. Clair da Contubia, daughter
of the late Mrs. Griswold who was
left only $500 by her mother and is
suing to break the will.
Mrs. Drischman was on the stand
in her own behalf during the greater
part of the morning session. Constant
giggling of women spectators when
she swore to acts OF generosity on her
part in behalf Of Mrs. Griswold, re-
suited in repeated reprimands from the
court and constant tattoo of the
baiiiff's gaven. AS Mrs. Drischman was
examined by her counsel, George A.
Bourgeois, she denied seriatim every
one of the statements sworn to by
opposing witnesses. In conclusion of
her direct examination she shouted:
"Thcy have all lied about me--thcre
is q conspiracy of liars to overwhelm
me-"
Denies Asking Will in Own Favor
"Did you ever ask Mrs. Griswold to
make will in your favor?" asked
Bourgeois
"My goodness, no." replied the wit
ness-"tf ats ridiculous"
"ls it true that you deprived Mrs.
Griswold Of necessary clothing, and
that she was unable to go visiting be-
cause she lacked such clothing %
"Why, Mrs. Griswold paid $50 each
for her nj shtgowns," retorted the wit
ness, "and when she went out she was
always we'll dressed. never took
thing belonging to Mrs. Griswold. Her
things weren t big enough FOR me, any
hcw. and besides, l don't go in for fine
things. always took good care of Mrs.
CT void and looked after her posses
sions"
Thomas Lands, an electrician, sum-
moned by the defense, who tes tilted
previously that he had regarded Mrs.
Griswold as a brilliant woman, was
cross-examined by Judge Clarence L.
Cole, counsel for Countess da Contubia,
with regard to alleged statements he
had made to Miss Hartnett, an Atlantic
City hcirdresser. The question was
whether Lands had told NJ SIS Hartnett
she would be paid for testifying in the
case. Lands refused either TO deny or
affirm the conversation, saying he could
not remember.
Contradicts Previous Statements
Mrs. Drischman became badly con-
fused under cross-eXamination by coun-
sci for the plaintiff ct the afternoon
session. She fatty contradicted state

Murder Charge Inspired
BY Sons, Schultz Asserts
srectal Dispatch to Tho Tribune

MIDDLETOWN, Conn, Oct 14.-Emil
Schultz, on trial here for murder, who
is accused of setting fire to the home
of a neighbor, Joseph Bali, December
10, 1915, and shooting Mr.. and Mrs
Ball and their son Jacob, to death as
they ran out, testified in his own de-
fense to-day.
With tears streaming down his face,
he swore that the testimony given
against him by his sons, the main re-
lance of the prosecution, was false
His sons hated him and had conspired
against him, he said. Julius, whose
evidence was the most damaging, had
grudge against him, the old man
said, because he had refused to let
Julius have $4,000 to put up still in
his woods after the young man cot
out of the navy
Julius, young woman on either side
Of him, sat staring at his father with
cut change of expression throughout
his testimony.
4mil Schultz said that hts son Will
liam had taken sides against him also.
1t was to William, while in jail, ne
said, that he confided the hiding D ac e
of 365,000 marks in German bonds,
asking him to get them for him. Will
liam returned to the Jail, said Schultz,
and reported that he could find only
$4,000 marks worth of bonds. When
his father bade him look again he
came back with the report, Schultz
said, that he had found another 100. 900
marks worth, but that was all.

In the meantime. Mrs Lillian Pas

ing fight for on inquiry by Con-
gress into Fox Hills among New Jer-
sey cubwomen. issued statement in
which she charged certain of the hospi-
ia officials with having sent false
records to Washington IN connection
with compensation claims, and de-
clared that sne had learned of other II
reguarities during her experiences as
relief worker there. She has
aEildavits and other documentary evi-
dence IN proof of her charges, she said.
Mrs. Days statement was taken to
Fox Hills yesterday afternoon and laid
before DR.. j. S. Boggess, the executive
officer, in the absence OF Dr. Cobb, who
Was reported to be in Washington. Dr..
ooggess declined to reply to the
charges, on the contention that they
were mot specific" and also to issue
an. ether statement for publication.
Mrs. Days statement, in part, was as
follows:
1T is one of my greatest hopes that
may be permitted to go on a witness
sta nd and tell what | know not only
abb ut the hospital itself, but also
concerning the management of it.
while do not believe it wise TO
make public all the evidence | have lust
now, | feel that / can disclose one or
two phases Of it.
For instance, I have positive knowl-
edge, backed by affidavits and other
data, that in at least ten cases which
came under my personal observation
false medical reports were sent BY the
hospital authorities to Washington in
connection with applications for gov
ernment compensation made by that
of patients.
