DRIVER SUSPECTED
AS BLIND VETERAN
Probe Is on to Determine
Identity of Man Getting
$500 Compensation. :

Veterans Bureau operatives today
are investigating a case in which a
Washington World War veteran, who
had been receiving money for total
blindness and permanent disability, is
alleged to have been seen at the
wheel of his automobile and to have
exhibited his operators permit. issued
by the Police Department, when re-
quested.
At the Veterans Bureau the files
show that Howard T. Lewis was
awarded $3.50 compensation for total
blindness January, 1924. The address
of Lewis at the Veterans Bureau is
1115 Sixth street northeast
An investigator of the bureau yes
terday. in company with a police
man, while looking into the case,
happened to see a man he believed to
be Lewis at the wheel of an automo-
bile on Massachusetts avenue. At the
request of the policeman. this man
displayed an operators permit issued
to Howard T. Lewis, but with the ad-
dress given as 507 Fifth street
northeast
AT the Veterans Bureau today 1t
was learned that the award for total
permanent disability given Lewis was
raised to 5000 a month on June Z,
1924, by the World War veteran act,
which made the increase effective on
that date.
The files of the Police Department
show that on August 80, 1924,
Howard T. Lewis obtained a permit
to operate his automobile in the
regular manner.
The investigation is launched to
determine whether Lewis has re-
covered the sight of both eyes or
whether he is the same man to whom
the bureau awarded compensation for
blindness, after he had been certified
blind by physicians at the Veterans
Bureau.
The officials of the Veterans Bu-
reau today stated that no details OF
the case would be available until the
investigation had been completed, but

erative of the fourth division Office

SHEPHERD TO SEEK
RELEASE ON BAIL
Attorney Claims Killing by Means
of Germs Not Murder Under
Illinois Law.
By the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, March 20.-Attorneys for
William D. Shepherd, held on an in
dictInent charging him with the killing
of his foster son. William Nelson Nc
Clfntock, orphan millionaire, with
typhoid germs. prepared today for a
fight to obtain his release on bail at his
preliminary hearing tomorrow.
William Scott Stewart, chief of the
defense counsel, outlining his argu-
ments, said he would endeavor to
show that killing man by giving
him typhoid germs is not murder
under Illinois law, which, he said,
designates only certain specific
methods of killing and does not in
cIude administration of disease germs.
States attorneys said they would
oppose the defense line of reasoning
on the ground that II 1t were allow

by any means not mentioned in the
law.

BOARD MAY ALTER
ruling ON "FRATS'
Two Members Indicate Order
to High School Students
Is UnenforceabIe.

Consideration will be given by the
Board of Education to a modification
of its anti-fraternity ruling as a re-
suit of the open rebellion against the
regulation by students of Mckinley
Technical High School, it was pre-
dicted today by Ernest Greenwood,
vice president of the board, who, as
chairman of a special committee, has
been investigating the high school
secret societies.
The situation at Mckinley, Mr..
Greenwood points out, shows con-
clusively that the efforts of the board
to control the high school secret or
ganizations have been futile. 1t is
matter of common knowledge, he
said, that fraternities and sororities
are fiourishing just as they did before
the board adopted the regulations de-
signed to wipe them out.
Legal Status Explained.
Mr. Greenwood has the opinion that
the board cannot create an effective
weapon with which to combat the
secret societies because of ruling of
the corporation counsel which pre-
cludes school authorities from expell-
ing a student for holding membership
in an unapproved organization.
What good is a rule that prevents
the ultimate penalty from being ex-
tracted?" he asked.
In Capt. julius l. Peyser the high
school frat" members will find
stronger advocate for modification of
the boards ruling. When the ques-
tion comes before the board" he said,
Il will vote in favor of abolishing the
present rule, and offer a substitute
which will give greater freedom to
the student"
Capt. Peyser is in favor of permit
ting high school students to join fra
ternities or sororities. II think it is
a students privilege to join such or
ganizations," he said. THE present
penalty is unjust"
Rebellion Has Not Spread.
Fears of school officials that the
rebellion against the fraternity rul-
ing at Mckinley would spread to the
other high schools failed to develop
today. Alvin w. Miller, principal of
Central, said that only one student
has confessed his membership in an
unrecognized organization. Frat"
members in other high schools also
are sitting tight watching closely
the developments growing out of the
Mckinley situation.
Meantime, school officials, who are
charged with the enforcement of the
anti-fraternity ruling, have been
holding series of conferences, trying
to devise some method of meeting the
situation. The real solution of the
problem now, as they view it, is to
preach the gospel of honesty to the
students.
All students signed cards at the
beginning of the school year that they
were not members of secret societies
and would not affiliate with such or
ganizations during their high school
career, it was pointed out. Those who
Joined after signing SUCH a pledge,
the officials declare, have betrayed a
trust placed in them by the school.
Il Now Admit Joining.
A few additional Mckinley stu
dents notified Principal Frank c..
Daniel today. that they are affiliated

Kutsch, has had a colorful career in
the athletic world, and Iowa fans arc
confident that his star has not set.

seasons in which TO outshine his al
ready brilliant debut in Big Ten foot
ball.
The Cowboy is a threc-sport athlete,
and won freshman numerals in foot
ball, basket ball and track last year.
He had a remarkable record in high
school at Sioux City, being named all
state fullback for three years. He
played his greatest game against the
powerful Cedar Rapids eleven of 1921
which boosted such stars as Marek
and Uridil of Ohio State, Yeisley of
Chicago, Murrell Of Minnesota and
Aerkes and Hines Of Iowa, and al
though Sioux City lost 16 to -,
Kutsch scored his teams two touch
downs.
Kutsch was named all-state prep
center in basket ball and was a team
mate Of Morgan Taylor Of Grinnen on
the team which won the quarter mile
and medley relay championships at
the Drake Relays three years ago.
The Dutchman was named the win
ner in field Of 500 contestants in the
Iowa physical efficiency contest last
spring TO decide the most perfect man.
hutsch's back and leg lift was 1870
pounds, which experts claim is a good
pull for a horse. This is one of the
reasons for Nick's success in shaking
off tacklers in his slashing runs
across the gridiron.

as life guard at the Sioux City mu-
nicipal pool, and has worked several
summers with commission house. He
