Beating of Costa Rican
Unreported to Police
Woman Who Had Man Held i'm
Robbery Also Denies De-
tecfives Struck Him

In the chief inspectors office and in
the Office of Deputy Commissioner John
J. Lahey at Police Headquarters yester-
day it was said the department had no
beating of Gonzalc Mora, a young
Costa Rican, by three unidentified de-
tectives. Mora, who is employed at
the Hotel Esplanade, Seventy-fourth
Street and West End Avenue, and
whose employers speak highly Of him,
said he was beaten in the West Sixty
eighth Street police station August 90
when he was arrested as a robbery sus-
pect.
Mrs. Sarah Varga, wife of Adolfo
Varga, an electrician living at 2s1 West
Sixty-sixth Street. admitted yesterday
that she had made the complaint
against Mora and that she suspected
him of having robbed her trunk of $50
and gold ring. She said that she and
her husband were in the police station
when Mora was brought in and that
they did not see any one beat him.
The case has been called to the at
tention of J. r. Oreomuno, Consul
General of Costa Rica, and it was un-
derstood yesterday he would write
letter to the Police Department asking
for an explanation Of the beating Of
young Mora.
AT Headquarters it was said that il
such a communication was received an
investigation, in all probability, would
be ordered and that if the detectives
accused could be identified Mora or the
Costa Rican Consul General would be
at liberty to prefer charges in the
usual way.

spectors, DIR. Leonard X. Hirshberg
we'll knowf, as writer of daily health
articles and said to be member of
the firm, was arrested on Friday and
held in $4,000 bail by United States
Commissioner Hitchcock on charge
of having used the mails in scheme
to defraud. 1t Is understood that the
postal authorities. who assert that the
company is accountable for 81 100000
are making every effort to apprehend
Winthrop Smith, but so far have been
unsuccessful.
According to the postal inspectors
who were responsible FOR the arraign-
ment of DR.. Hirshberg, the firm used
the mails with intend to defraud by
sending out circulars promising big
profits to the investors through the
formation of what is known as dis
cretionary or blind pool for buying
and selling listed securities.
The petition which was filed against
Hirshberg and Smith, both individu-
ally, and as members of the firm of
Winthrop, Smith & Co., describes the

Harding, who was a chauffeur for
Francis Menamin, a Philadelphia attor-
ney, had stopped his car, in which were
his wife and son, two other women and
Mr.. Menamin, to repair tire. He was
standing beside the car when, it is al

Brennan, struck and carried him sixty
feet, the car then swerving off the road
and striking shanty before it was
stopped.
Captain Campbell, Of the state troop
ers, who arrived shortly after the ac-
eident, arrested Brennan and took the
other occupants of the car in custody
as material witnesses. He said he
found seven bottles OF whisky in the
Brennan automobile and bottle of gin
that had been thrown out of the car.
He took Brennan and the four others

sIipped away from the hospital on Fri
day night in order to bring the mat
ter to the attention of Mr.. Rossdale.
He declared that about three weeks
ago patient named Philip Golding,
who is q weak bed patient, weighing
less than eighty pounds, refused to get
into bed when told TO do so by an at
tendant, and that as consequence the
attendant beat him severely and forci-
big put him into bed, after which he
strapped him down. Fowler said that
he called the attention of one of the
xwered that she believed the attendant
was getting too fresh, but Fowler de-
clared that nothing had been done
about the matter.

Inquiry Starts To-,norrow
Representative Rossdale
Hears of New Case of Al
legged Brutality to Patient

Martin w. Littleton, the lawyer, who
lest son in the war, was selected yes
terday as the lay member of the COM
mission which will investigate condi-
tions at Veterans Hospital 81, the
Bronx. He has accepted the designa-
tion. The other two members are DR..
Guy o. Ireland, who will act as chair
man and the representative of Colonel
Charles r. Forbes, director of the Vet
erans' Bureau in Washington, and e..
II. Jewett, Of the local Veterans Bureau.
Announcement Of the selections was
made by Major w. F. Lent, district
manager Of the Veterans Bureau.
The membership Of the commission
was determined at a conference at
tended by Representative Albert B,
Rossdale, who brought the charges
against the hospital after an investi-
cation conducted by himself. Accord
ing to Mr.. Rossdale he was again asked
at the conference to allow the member
ship to be composed of men from the
Veterans Bureau, but he would not
hear of it, declaring again that such
an investigation would be worthless.
Inquiry To Be Public
The investigation will be begun on
Monday morning at the hospital ana
will be practically public. Mr. Ross
dale said yesterday he would not go
to Washington on Monday for the
opening of the House of Representa-
tives as it was his desire to remain
here and see the investigation through,
He formally filed the list of his speci-
fc charges against the hospital in
writing with Major Lent and these
along with the complaints filed by
Major w. F. Deegan, state commander
of the American Legion, will form the
basis of the investigation.
These charges include the statements
that patients are often beaten and
harshly treated, and that in the case
of Nicholas Samson, who was alleged
to have been beaten by two attendants
these men were allowed to continue
their duties for three days after the
situation became known; that patients
are discharged as cured because it is
desired to be rid of them for various
reasons, and that they are refused in
formation as to their discharge status;
that patients requesting medical atten-
tion often find difficulty in receiving
ordinary medicines or the proper foods,
while little or no attention is paid 20
the complaints of patients; that there
is lack of the proper entertainment
or recreational features which are
necessary to patients in such con3i-
tions, anr that the hospital is con-

This year has already been shown

Fragrance Is Called
the Soul of Flowers

Because a flower Is beautiful Is
not n reason for fragrance, lnd yet
we must say that fragrance Is the
soul Of flowers.
Hundreds of flowers are not fra

and are by night, and lend to them
selves n temporary soul or soul
hidden from the human sense when
daylight is present.
1t IL too true that some OF our
more beautiful flowers are utterly
devoid Of a pleasing nature or pos
sessed of odor that is really re-
pulsive.
So-called plant wizards, really true
botanists, scientists, II you like, have
made fragrant not only flowers but
weeds, simply by cross-breeding, etc.
One OF the notable cases OF this
kind is the dahlia, a Mexican weed,
first transformed into one Of our
most gorgeous flowers, and more re-
Gently 1t has been given fragrance,

ALASKAN RUG IN

sidered Masterpiece.
by Universal Service.

BERLIN, April ga chiefs rug
made by the Chilkat Indians OF
Northern Alaska, recently acquired
from America by the chronological
Museum Of Dresden, is pronounced
by German authorities AS a master.
piece of the weaVer's art, worthy OF
being placed side by side with the
famous textiles of antiquity.
This rug Is made of the fine white
wool of the mountain goat idigenous
to that region; this wool is rolled by
hand into a strong thread and brill
liantly colored by vegetable dyes,
the secret OF which is known only
to the Indians.
The pattern is almost Persian In
character. displaying the conven-
tional heraldic treatment OF men and
animals. and over the entire surface
is strewn an eye motive, intended
either as symbol of vigilance or
a talisman against demons and evil
spirits.
These primitive weavers displayed
the greatest symmetry and Elasticity
In their workmanship, which con-
firms the curious chronological fact
that textile art has always flour
ished among peoples and tribes
whose cultural niveau Is very low.
Aside from its artistic value this
rug is genuine antique, ut least
four centuries old, and as this par
ticular weave disappeared from the
world market several decades ago,
Dresden is congratulating herself on
the acquisition of a piece, of which
only two other museums in Europe
possess a duplicate.

James Heating, research expert,
PA McGill Building. Washington
has gathered the following interest
Ing facts as to the early history OF
Nansemond county. Va, and the
present Importance Of Suffolk, its
county seat:
The first mention of the name
Nansemond is found In Smith q
History of Virginia.
In the summer OF 1908 Capt.
John Smith with twelve compan-
ions came up the river called Nan.
semond after a tribe of Indians of
that name. Smith and his men
were attacked In the neighborhood
of an island now called Dump
ling" Island.
The main settlement OF the Nan.
semond tribe was near the mouth
of Western Branch, and the island
opposite was used as place for
storing corn. The Nansemond
tribe numbered 800 warriors, and
their canoes filled with fighting
men suddenly appeared and sur
Smiths exploring party. At the
first volley Of musketry the In
dams leaped overheard and swan
to shore. Smith promptly cap
tured the canoes and was in the
act of destroying them when the
Indians from the bank made signs
Of surrender. They were glad to
purchase peace at the cost of 400
baskets of full corne," which sup
ply helped to relieve the hungry
colony at jamestown.
The Handbook Of North Ameri.
can Indians. is the authority for
the following: "Nansemond" from

one (who goes to fish or fishing);
possibly originally a personal name.
An important tribe of the Powhat.

ing a territory on the south side
of lower James River, Virginia

Norfolk Counties, Virginia. Their

semond."
They were estimated by Capt.
John Smith in 1908, at 800 war
riors, or perhaps a total popula-
ton of 700 or S00."
Early Settlers.
As early as 1886 Nansemond at
tracted the attention of settlers.
Here. as elsewhere in Virginia
their settlements clung close to the
water courses. In 1896 Governor
West granted to Richard Bennett,
1000 acres on Nansemond River
for importing forty persons, and to
John Slaughter. 200 acres on
Wright's Creek. The patents TO
lands in 1888 refer to tracts situ-

ated on the Nansemond or Mat
revers" River. Lord Matrevers,
son of the Duke OF Norfolk, had
received a grant in 1888 to 10000
acres on Nansemond River and an
effort was made to call the river
(Matrevers) In honor or
the English lord. The name did
not stick, however. and appears
only as an alternate form In land
patents. BY 1889 the influx OF
population had become so large
that this section was separated
from Isle of Wight and set apart
as county under the name OF
Upper" Norfolk county.
First Representatives.
It's first representatives In the
House OF Burgesses, were: Randall
Crew, John Gookin and Tristan
Norseworthy.
In 1912 the county was divided
into three parishes to be known as
south, east and west. In 1646 tfe
name OF the county was changed to
"Mansimum." In 1852 the Cen
monwealth of England sent a fleet
to demand Virginia's submission 10
the new" government.
There was a long dispute lasting
from 1886 to 1872 concerning the
boundaries between Nansemond ana
Isle OF Wight counties. Four ActH
of Assembly during that period re-
lated to changes in these boundaries
The act of 1874 Is interesting, as Il
mentions by name "A citizen whose
