SAY:
I'VE are not in agreement with the
finding fthe majority OF the judi
ctary committee that none Of the
counts which have been under in
vestigation, have been established by
testimony. In our view, asa central
fact It has been clearly established
that Mr.. Fenning, having determined
that he would become 81 professional
committee or guardian for insane per
sons as q matter Of revenue to him
self, set about procuring himself to
be designated as such committee
That he established such contact with
st. EliZabeth's Hospital for the Insane
that he received preferential oppor
tunities for appointment as commit
tee. That he was instrumental in
procuring judgments of commitment
in many cases in which he was ap-
pointed That he charged against the
estates Of his wards, over and above
the amounts paid by him, the agent
commission. when as q matter Of fact
he held the agency himself. And in
specific instances, as developed during
the hearings. was guilty of conduct
toward his wards utterly at variance
with the obligations resting upon him
as a guardian Of this class Of unfor

Seek Action by Congress.

Mr.. DOminick and Mr. Weaver like
wise combined their views in one re
port. We cannot concur in the find
lngS of fact as set out in the majority
report, nor in the conclusions reached
therein" they declared.
I'VE feel that the facts in this case.
instead of calling for some mild re
buke and very general recommenda-
lions. demand some action by Congress
looking To the removal Of Mr.. Fenning
from Office as a Commissioner Of the
District of Columbia. either by i'm
parchment or otherwise. and for the
relief Of the unfortunate World War
veterans whose estates he has been
handling.
zone Of the principal charges
against Mr.. Fenning grows out of his
professional guardianship for insane
veterans. The record shows. page 405
to 420 a very large number of cases
in which he was appointed as guar.
dian or committee. This practice eN.
tended over a period of 20 years and
grew into a profession.
We find from the evidence that by
some ARA nGement between himself
and the officials Of ST Elizabeth's Hos
pital when new patients were con
signed to the hospital MIR. Fenning
was called over the telephone and ad.
vised Of their arrival. page 1913.
He had access to the records of the

"In 60 cases of World War veter-
ans alone DR.. White fled petitions
asking that guardians he appointed
and recommended in each case that
FenninC be named as such guardian.
FenninC admits that he wrote these
petitions himself and sent them to

them and sent them back TO him. and
he filed them with the court, along
with prepared orders for the court
to sign appointing him guardian.
On pages 33 TO 81 of the record.
and all this evidence is undisputed. is
a summary of additional cases of
World War veterans for whom Fen
ming had been appointed guardian
and subsequently discharged.
The commissions paid TO him In
these cases amounted to S13,31S.03.
making total Of $50 273.51.
The funds which he has in his
hands at this time belonging to these
insane persons amounts to more than
$500 900.

one of these cases than he allowed

it would be necessary to consider the
testimony and. so believing, il would
necessarily follow that if Mr.. Fenning
was guilty of the charges made
against him he should he i'm

matters not how minor the office. If
the office comes within the purview Of
the ConSti. ution and the charges are
made in the legal way and established
by convincing proof. then the logical
result must follow.
ConcurTing in the ma jority report
as to the non-impeachability OF Mr..
Fenning. Mr.. Montague, however.
criticized the evidence as il was as
sembled in the findings of facts. He
then discussed the following four
points:
81. The evidence discloses that the
respondent became the committee of
an astounding number of insane pa
tents in the ST. Elizabeth Hospital.
and that he in the main secured these
fiduciary positions through improper
and reprehensible methods which he
has employed with a diligence and in
eenuity worthy of better cause.
40. That respondent was energetic
and resourceful in securing improper
commissions, premiums and compen-
sations out of his wards estates or
by reason of his relations and asso-
Citations growing out of or connected
directly or indirectly with these fidu
ciary trusts.

AMERICAN TOURISTS PAY
FOR MUSIC IN FRANCE
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, October 9.--The old French
proverb, Music hath charms sooth.
ing to the nerves" turned out to be
fallacy in the case of a few belated
American tourists returning home
after lingering through the Autumn
at various Summer resorts.
When settling their hotel bills they
found a charge Of franc per meal
for music"
What is this" one Of them queried.
Suavely the managers replied: 1T
is for the orchestra which played dur
ing the meals. A great saving indeed
1t Is for you. You have noted that no
member Of the orchestra passed the
collection plate around? Had they
done so. we are certain you should
not have given less than francs
each time. We save you francs
each meal. We strive to please"

Masons, for the most part, don't
take their bowling seriously. 1t
isn't the score that counts, but the
good fellowship of the match with
them. So 1t seems, anyway, from
a perusal OF the opening nights
scores in the Masonic tournament
at Convention Hall.
AS John Blick puts IL: They
were on the alleys for four hours
and in that time you'd expect some
body, at least one Of all that
crowd, to shoot big score. But
it didn't happen"
Blick's team, Trinity, by the way.
had the best set, which was 1892
and Federal Lodge had the next
best-15s1. There isn't a chance
that Trinity will finish on top.
Maybe there'll be better scores to-
night. Here's the program:
Doubles, 7:15 D. m.-Shook and

embarrassing the Meyer Davis

for first place, with the Kingpins
close up. The Convention Hall
team totalled 1747.
Two Veterans Bureau teams
padded their scores to show one
with a set of 1905 and the other
with 1860. No investigation was
needed to reveal the truth. The
bowlers construed it as schoolboy
humor or an effort to win cheap
publicity.
