ROW CONTINUES
OVER CASE OF
MRS. DRUMM0ND
Nv United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, July 11.-Whi!e
the condition of Mrs. Clara Drum
mond "Sleeping Beauty" of Fresno,
was reported to be improving stead
lily, the controversy in medical
circles over her treatment became
more acute, here today.
Deploring the secrecy that has
surrounded the young woman, who
has been in state of coma for 99
days, DR.. Charles H. Wood, pres
ident of the Los Angeles college of
Chiropractic, issued statement
which read in part:
"In regard to the situation,
which has arisen in the case of Mrs.
Clara Drummond, so called sleep
ing beauty and the methods assert
ed employed by DR.. William j. Pea
cock, in treating her.
"The ,Chiropractic profession,
il appears to me, would disclaim
action on anyone's part to lend the
inference that there is mystery at
tached to true Chiropractic methods.
"Chiropractic is open and above
board and is based entirely upon
scientific, mechanical adiri tments
of the human body. In Chiropractic
treatment, there is no necessity for
secrecy or mysterious maneuvers.
DR.. Wood said.
The young woman is now being
treated in private home following
the threat of health authorities to
remove her from a hospital which
they alleged was operating without
a license.

ASS ASSINS FILE E
Victim Describes Men
to Officials Before
Dying.
BY GEORGE MAC DONAGH
(Untted Press Staff Correspondent

(Un,ted Press Staff Correspondent
DUBLIN, July ll.-Civil wal
threatened today to return to Ire
land because Of the assassination
yesterday of the free state $
"strong man, Kevin Christopher
O'Higgins, the government s vice
president and minister of justice
and Of internal affairs.
Regarding the situation as a cri
sis, President William II. Cosgrave
called meeting of the cabinet kst
night. After the meeting Cosgrave
issued a statement assuring Ireland
that the assassin's bullets would
not succeed in terrorizing the coun.
try.
The situation, however, may de-
relop beyond his or his govern
ment s control, it was feared.
Although no arrests had been
made police reported they believed
they had full descriptions of the
three men who fired eight shots in
to O'Higgin's body as he was on
his way to mass shortly before noon
yesterday.
, The official account Of the assas-
sination said five men participated.
Two, acting as scouts, signalled the
approach Of o Higgins. The other
three, in automobiles, did the shoot
ing. ~-....
Flee to Hills
It was suggested today that the
assassins probably fled from Dub
lin to the mountains. They were
last seen about five miles from the
scene Of the Staying.
Unaccompanied, Higgins left
his home in Black Rock, fashion
able seaside suburb five miles from
Dublin, TO attend IL O'Clock mass.
As he entered San Souci avenue,
an automobile approached him. The
occupants opened fire when O 'Hig-
gins reached a dark spot oyerhung
with trees.
After the first shot O'Higgins
staggered across the road and fell,
hitting his head heavily against a
lamp post The assailants fired sew
en- more shots, then sped away.
Bleeding from eight wounds, o.
Higgins wrote out his will as he lay
on the roadside. A casual passer-
by witnessed it and called an am
bulance.
O'Higgins retained consciousness
as he was driven to his home and
remained conscious for several
hours thereafter. President Cos
grave and members of the cabinet
were summoned and arrived while
Higgins was still conscious.
rorgives His Slayers
O'Higpins described his assail'
ants and shortly before he lost con.
| sciousness he whispered several
times, 81 forgive them
He became unconscious about
4:3O p. IN. and died half an hour
later.
O'Higgins, a big boned, sallow
six footer, serious and of iron-like
firmness, met death as his father
met il in 1923 and as his predeces-
sor in office, Michael Collins, met
it in the civil war which followed
the signing OF the treaty with
Great Britain at the end of the
revolution of 1928.
He was only 35 years old, and
until yesterday seemed destined to
be the dominant force in Irish poll
ties for 90 or more years to come.
His murder leaves Ireland political
| ly almost where it was when Col.
Inns died. O'Higgins took Collins
place; now some one must take his.
