In the course of the testimony of

was disclosed that patients in state

During the hearing of charges of
racial and religious discrimination

internes were cited time and again in
the course of the afternoon. When
patients under the care of the Jewish
internes were in danger of dying they
were not notified by the nurses on
duty so that it would appear that they
were guilty of professional neglect.
Useless To Complain.
Epithets such as damned jew"
"kike," "sheeney," and similar anti
Semetic by-words were of common
usage in the wards and staff rooms in
the hospital. When asked by the
mayor if the Jewish internes COM

the officials in charge of the institu-
ton, DR.. Aaron H. Tripnin, one of the
internes said, "The heads Of the hos

odds over the offer of the political
heads Of the American delegation
to the British Of a raise in total
cruiser strength from 3OO,OO tons
to 100000. The navy department
fears that even this limit does not
give the American navy enough
+ advantage in the next war. The
offer may be withdrawn.
GENEVA, July 5.-A state of
complete deadlock developed today, as
all observers expected it would, when
the naval experts committee of the
disarmament" conference received
the two contradictory proposals by
the British and American delegates
as to cruiser strength and the size
of cruisers.
Britain's interests lie in having an
enormous navy of small boats-her
enemies can have the same, but they
can't effectively use them because
they do not possess England's wide
flung net of naval fueling stations,
and small cruisers are not useful
without them On the other hand,
the United States proposition for a
lesser number of big cruisers is alb
hored by the British delegation, be-
cause if England does not have a
naval superiority in the beginning of
war the superior building power of
U. S. shipyards will make Britain a
loser.
L. S. Offers More Tonnage.
The American proposition repre-
sented a compromise between the
United States first proposal of ESQ.,
600 to 100000 cruiser tonnage each
for Great Britain and the United
States, and the British demand for
nearly 100000 tons. This American
compromise proposition was present
