POLLYANNAS GET A JOLT

Into the much-tOuted peaceful calm of the
placid Erickson administration the Butte Miner
a few days ago tossed package of T. N. Z. that
shattered the self-complacency of Democratic
newspapers and political POlyannas and left them
nervous as cats in dog pound
The bomb was the story of a scandal at the
Warm Springs institution which apparently had
been carefully suppressed since August 25. On
that date, according to the Miner, Matthew KOkhO,
a patient, was so brutaly beaten and kicked by
an attendant that he died three days later.
KOkho, who was 81 years of age, had been at
Warm Springs II years. He was emaciated and
broken in health He was ordered to take dose
of EPSON salts, and when he refused was knocked
down and kicked so severely that 13 of his ribs
were broken and he suffered other internal hurts.
The guard said to have been in charge of him at
the time was James DAILY, q years old and a
19O-pounder. He was accompanied by another
attendant, E. H. Hallin.
That night Daily disappeared, and the next
morning Hallin was discharged. After KoEho's
death an autopsy, but no inquest, was held. The
certificate filed by Coroner McGreavy of Deer
Lodge county shows that death was due to "shock
and hemorrhage from fractured ribs and puncture
of lung, sustained in struggle with an attendant
The matter was reported to Governor Erickson,
but it is significant that no action was taken nor
was the case given any publicity. Attorney Cen
eral L. A. FOOte is said to have ruled that mas
much as both DAILY and Hallin had left and the
testimony of insane eye-witnesses could not be
taken in any court of law, he "did not think a
conviction could be secured" And so, very con-
venienty the matter was hushed up.
Not until the Miner dug up the facts and pub
Gshed them did the public become aware of the
almost unbelievable outrage. It is true that in an
institution with 1,50O patients and 200 attendants
unfortunate incidents will at times occur. DR.
Bolton and Governor Erickson are not held strictly
accountable for the unlawful and brutal act of an
asylum guard. but what arouses popular indigna.
tion against them is their evident lack of effort
to apprehend and punish the guilty and their ap
parent attempt to hush the whole thing up. Ii

CRIME REMEDIES SUGGESTED

At a recent conference on press relations at
the University of Virginias Institute of Public
Affairs at Charlottesville, Judge Archie Dabney
sent the criminal in his true cOlors it would do
more for the suppression of crime than all the
court reforms ever attempted.
"Let the court reporter show the criminal as
he is" said Judge Dabney mot hero or a martyr,
but degenerate, diseased creature, if not
abnormal at least subnormal, and a weakling
without mental vigor to resist temptation to do
wrong. The reporter should appeal to the sport

criminal is one who has taken unfair advantage
of his victim"

Led by the player who famed for
the final out in the last world series,
the hitters of tn major leagues have
registered a total of II circuit blows
for one days games.
Some of the wallpapers were old
reliaoles and some We're new, but
Tony Lazzeri's name led all the rest.
The Yankee infielder who had the
doubtful honor of making the last
strike out of 1926 made three home
runs in five times up against the
White SoX at New York.
Lazzeris performance, which came
within u single run of the record for
number of homers in one game, fea-
tured a long drawn and thrilling bat
tie which, ended with the Yankees on
the long end of a 12-to-11 score. The
thinning victory was the Yankees
second in two days over their nearest
rivals for the American League lead,
Again the defeat was hard for the
White Sox to swallow. for they made
more hits than the Yankees. just as
they did in the previous days game.
Also, Falk. Clancy and Barretts
homers just evened matters for Lag
Zeri's three home runs. In five games
between the two this season, the
Yankees now have come off victorious
four times and the Sox have yet to
win a game at the Yankee stadium

less matter-of-fact men than the mag

changed his stance and swing to some
extent. however, and is getting better
results.
If Reeves develops into only fair
hitter, he viii be a real find for the
Nationals. He is one of the shiftiest
young shortf1elders in the game, is
powerful thrower and has a keen
base ball sense. About all he needs to
be of great value to his club is more
punch, and he appears to be acquiring
that.
Harris is not gambling with his
pitchers any longer, he has declared.
Instead of holding Walter Johnson for
the final game of the Indian series. he
was to use the big fellow this after
noon. "I'll play my best cards right
off the bat hereafter and try to mop
up with the reserves" is the way the
manager spoke of his revised pitching
system.

NEW YORK, June 9.--CP).-The
first soccer game ever played here
after dark resulted in a scoreless tie
last night between the Hakoah team
from Vienna, Austria, and a picked
eleven composed of New York Giant
and Bethlehem Steel players.
The novel game at the Polo Grounds
brought to an end the Hakoah tour of
the United States.
Both teams were well able to sec
the goals in the sun-like rays from
huge hoodlights, but close guarding
kept them from booting the ball in.
Time was called at intervals that the
ball might be given : fresh coat of
whitewash.
The whitened sphere was clearly
visible and the $4,000 spectators were
able to follow the play almost as
readily as in daylight.
