him south to put him in a sani-
tarium. For two weeks before he

Those in charge of DR.. Boyle told
friends at Juneau when the Alameda
was in port that his condition was
grave, and that his mind was COM
pletely off at times. He imagined
that he was going Outside to organ
ize great enterprises. Among them
was to be the purchase of coal
mine at fabulous price. He en-
gagged many of his friends and ac-
quaintances to join his staff when
his undertakings should be launch
ed. He amused himself by writing
checks to those employed in large
amounts the checks, being, of
course, Immediately destroyed.
DR.. Boyle met many friends in
juneau. He knew all of them and
called them by name, but that he
was suffering from mental derange-
ment was noticeable.

PISTOL AIMED;
TRIGGER READY
TO Be PULLED
National Commander MacNid
er of American Legion
Makes Charges.

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. May 12.-
Business and financial interests OF
the United States, "who contributed
least and profited most by the war,
are flourishing a political pistol at
Congress and threatening to pull the
trigger If that body passes the adj
justed compensation bill for service
men, according to Hanford Mac
Nider, national commander OF the
American Legion. The assertion was
made in a statement issued by Mr..
MacNider denying that the Legion
had any thought of trying to coerce
the Congress.
Enemies of the bill have declared
that the Legion has uttered threats,
that it has held a political pistol at
she head of Congress. Not the slight
est proof of the truth OF these
statements has been attempted, which
has been wise because not vestige
of such proof exists.
But now real effort to coerce
is being made by the intrenched fl
nancial interests. These interests
are flourishing the political pistol
and gold plated one at that"
Mr. MacNider made reference to
the published threat of the finan-
cial interests of Republican persua.
sion that if the Republican Congress
passes the veterans adjusted com
pensatoin bill there will be no con-
tributions from that quarter to the
Republican campaign funds" In the
words of one dispatch, the com
MAJ Ter declared, big business has
informed Chairman Adams OF the
Republican national committee that
if Congress passes the bonus, it may
get some soldier votes but it will
lose the support of business"
