During the two years or more be- fore federal facilities can be increased to take care of all cases. the memor- ;al urges that infinitely more rigid supervision of contract institutions be provid ed by the veterans bureaus and that to cooperate in this an in- dependent commission of former ser vice men be appointed in each state.

Vets 7eU Harding M0t Treatment Of Disabled Is
 Sneiych On v. s. Honor
}, 800 Veterans In State Institutions Are Victims Of Gross Neglect And Profiteering Is State ment In Memorial To President.

Washington, Jan. 16-Asserting that the more than $500, mentally disabled former service men now placed in state institutions were vic ums of such gross neglect, fndiffer- ence and profiteering'' as constituted a black reproach on the honor of the nation the disabled American veterans of the world war, in a mem orial presented today to President Harding urged immediate action by the government looking to the treat ment of all such cases in federal in- stitutions. Neglect of these cases in state institutions, the memorial says is committing to permanent insanity many of the victims who by timely treatment probably could be cured.
 Describing the condition of contract cases of this class in the institutions of the state of Ohio as typical of those in practically every state, the memor- ial asserts the government ''farmed out the insane ex-Service men of Ohio to state asylunns which are notoriousIy overcrowded, undermanned and in adequately equipped to treat and care for them while it has not provided one federal institution for this pur- pose in the state.
 For example, the memorial says Tn the Long View asylum of Ham ilton county. Ohio. there are 42 gal lant soldiers who broke down mental ly under the stress of war, although Long View is so overcrowded that 24 of the inmates sleep on the floor like cattle every night
 Of the 250 mentally disabled ,placed in all the institutions of the state, of whom it is said physicians believe half might be cured by treatment, not one the memorial asserts. is re ceiving medical treatment of any kind for their mental diseases and curable cases are being daily doom ed to permanent insanity.

 Accounts differ as to the form of ceremony is to take but one generally accepted is that the Irish ministers ceived by the vtceroy who will for mally hand over the offices.
 There are some reports, however, that there will be no formal transfer and that the cabinet will ask the sex- is5ting heads of departments to con- tinue their work until the new gov ernment gains a firm seat in the sad ale when business gradually would pass into it's hands without publicity.

The Bridgeport Trust company, act ing as executors of the will of the late Sarah A. Beardsley has filed suit to ouiet title of Noble avenue property.

SAY OFFICER SENT
SAILOR TO DEATH
Parents Of Edward l.. O'Neill
of Newark Get Promise of
Inquiry by DENLY.

An inquiry to dtermine who If any,
on April 10. in Guantanamo Bay. of
Edward L. ONeill. a seaman of the
battleship Wyoming, will be conducted
by the Navy Department. Arthur B..
brother of the drowned man, said last
night he had received definite assur-
ances from Secretary DENLY that a
complete inquiry would be made.
O'Nell's friends and relatives charge
that he was sent to his DEATH by a
Lieutenant who ordered him to dive off
the battleship into rough waters when
he knew. O'Neil could not swim more
than three strokes. Arthur oNeill said
last night that he intended to ascertain
how his brother met his death
The fleet was going through it's spring
maneuvers and a swimming contest was
TO be held. All the men on the wy
cmng except O'Neill and two others
had qualified for the swimming contest.
The official report on the drowning was
that O'Neill voluntarily jumped into
the water to encourage two others to
follow him, and that every precaution
was taken to prevent mishap, but that
he sank at once and could not be found.
His body was recovered two days later.
The other version of the drowning. as
to Arthur O'Neill and his at
torney. William ]. McFadden Of Newark.
is that the sailor. when asked IL he
would take part in the swimming con-
test, begged to be excused because he
was mo swimmer When the Lieuten-
ant insisted that he jump, and finally
threatened him with court-martial if he
did not. O'Neill, according to informa-
ton in the hands of his brother and his
attorney. jumped feet first into the sea

the Navy eight years and had clean
record.
Accordingly to Mh. McFadden. Arthur
ONeill went to the New York Navy
Yard. where the Wyoming lies now, and
talked to Capt. III. p. Price. who said
the drowning was most unfortunate
He also talked to the Lieutenant who is
said to have been in charge of the
swimming division. Mr.. O'Neill points
out that in the official report it is said
the sailor climbed down the side of the
ladder and jumped from height of only
4 few feet above the water. A dive from
a considerable feight is necessary to
1ualify for the swimming event.
The sailor has two brothers and two
sisters. as we'll as his parents, living in
Newark.
