established by the law. because the
underlying theory OF the century
and -half-old procedure is that in
sane persons are possessed OF
devils.
The only possible requirement for
discharge, then, is that the devils
shall have been driven out--tape
worm fashion, probably. as the law
makes no reference to the beating
OF tom toms or the reciting OF
lamentations. But that may have
been an oversight.
The releasing or holding of the
patient is up to the doctor-hls
personal, individual opinion rules.
There are no regulations to con-
troll him in the matter; not a sug-
gestion as to what the community
wishes, how much longer they're
willing to pay the patients board,
how much departure from 100 per
cent mental perfection they're will
ing to stand for.
What else can the hospital auA
thorities do but follow their own
individual ideas?
Doctors Opinion Rules
The patient is given his freedom
when, in the Doctors opinion, he's
mentally fit for freedom. That's
proper, you say-the doctor is bet
ter qualified than anyone else to
form an opinion about such things.
But one mans opinion is a sIaky
hook to hang another mans lib
erty on.
Congress doesn't accent the doc
tors mere opinion where other
questions are concerned.
He must examine the case in
accordance with clearly stated in
structions, answer set of formal
questions. In the matter of dis
ability pensions, for instance, the
doctor doesn't look a man over
and say yes, in my opinion he's
entitled to a pension"
Uncle Sam doesn't pay any cash
out of the Treasury on that kind
OF a proposition, no matter how
well qualified the doctor is.
He's got to make a formalized
examination. with more headss and
subheads in it than here are in
the traffic regulations. The last
his opinion is.
"Oh,"@ the doctor says noncha-
lantly, "the patient can always get
ouL ON HaDedS CORPUS when nS
held needlessly"-and has $500. But
If he's pauper, he hasn't got the
5000, and If he isn't a pauper. his
guardians got it.
But If he can get in touch with
a Supreme Court Justice, which
isn't always. easy-for patient
and makes affidavit that he hasn't
any money, the writ will issue with
out cost. That part of the pro,
ceedings will save the patient SIC
to $40. Then If he can get in
touch with a bondsman who will

The law says a patient may be
discharged when he has been re-
stored to sound mind. What SOUND
mind is the law doesn't give hint
or a suggestion, but the patient ha..
got to be restored to it before ne
can get his property back.
The doctors opinion doesn't
mean anything when it comes 10

Something's Wrong
But when it comes to deciding
whether a man is crazy enough to
KEEP locked. up. the. jury doesn't
get a look-in, and the only person
who makes the decision is a doctor
who is connected with the asylum.
Looks like Congress IS too finnicky
at one end of the deal, or too loose
at the other over prudisl at the
start, too yielding at the close.

]. s. PASSIVE IN
OIL CRISIS
BY GEORGE R. HOLMES


The zero hour in Mexican-Amer-
lean relations, set for January l,
when Mexico's new land and pc
troleum laws become effective. seems
destined to arrive and pass without
anything very serious taking place
despite the State Departments
yelled threats a month ago of a
break in diplomatic relations.
The rapidity with which foreign
oil concerns. whose holdings in
Mexico are worth many hundreds
of millions, have been falling into
line and complying with the Mex
lean governments new regulations
has served to allay for the time be-
ing at least some of the tensity in
the situation.
More than SO of the biggest oil
concerns doing business in Mexico,
which include the principal Amer
lean. British and Dutch corpora
tions have already acted to protect
their holdings under the new regu-
lations, according to the, Mexican
embassy.
The open hostility in Congress to
any break with Mexico, and the no
less open criticism OF the Depart
ment's policy in intervening in
Nicaragua, has also served to pro-
mote caution on, the part of State
Department officials.
The proposed Senatorial investi-
CATION into the activities OF Ameri-
can marines in Nicaragua seemed
in doubt today following a confer
ence between Senator Borah. chair
man, of the Senate Foreign Rela-
tons Committee, and Secretary OF
State Kellogg.
1.-THE Nicaraguan revolution was
planned and inspired by eight or
ten men who are not even Mica
raguans, and largely for business
reasons" said Borah.

HOWARD IS ID SHARE ESTATE
Attorney for Convicted Man COntradiCtS Sons Statement

Mexico City. July 19 -Querido Moreno, attorney for John r. How ard, salad dressing manufacturer,
 of Haverhill, Mass, issued state
 ment today contradicting a declara-
 tion made yesterday by John c. and Albert F. Howard, his sons, that an agreement had been virtually
 reached between them and the father to divide his estate with their mother. The elder Howard is being detained in the Cuernavaca jail on a charge of perjury and bigamy.
 The manufacturer secured di-
 vorce in Mexico and married Mrs,
 Elanor B. Phillips of Milwaukee, with whom he came to Mexico. The two sons have been here for long time endeavoring to have the father provide for the mother.
 The sons yesterday. after a con- i ference with the father in the jail,
 said it had been virtually agreed
 that the father would share equally
 with the mother his money and
 other property. The Howard es- | tate is estimated to be worth one million dollars.
 ! It was said by the brothers that after the agreement with the father
 was confirmed they intended to have their mother give her consent : 10 MT. Towards Cuernavaca diroce and take other steps 10 legalize it.. Afterwards it would be their l fathers affair as to whether he
 would continue to live with Mrs. i Phillips. She at present is ill in a local hospital, but her condition is not believed to be serious.
 ' The two brothers also said their
 mother. who is ill in Haverhill, has 1 filed a suit in Milwaukee against { Mrs, Phillips for Sl25,000, alleging
 that she alienated the affections of | the elder Mir. Howard. They added 1 that all the papers and documents : in the case against Mir. Howard
 have been stolen from the Cuerna- vaca court. The authorities were in vestigating. but if the case against 1 Mir. Howard was dismissed. as it
 was expected it would be, this fact would not cause complications.
