 GOT EASY DEGREE
Eclectic Hearing Continues
 Tieup in Schools

New Haven, June Is R-Al-
 though he had gone through the
 Kansas City College of Medicine and Surgery only on visit of inspection
 that took few hours one Sunday morning Dr. James E. Hair of Bridgeport, secretary of the eclec-
 tic examining board of Connecticut
 in 1925. testified in superior court
 today he was awarded regular" degree from the institution in 1918. i Dr. Hair said he had also received regular" degree two years previ- ously from the Eclectic Medical uni- versity of Kansas City. although he i had never been a student there. | The testimony was given in the hearing of the appeals of II eclectic doctors from the revocation of their licenses in the state of Connecticut Both the St. Louis college and the Kansas City university were reputed non-eclectic during the time he was on the state examining board. Dr. | Hair testified. later, in eross-exam- ination. saying the Kansas City Col lege of Medicine and Surgery had been reputed eclectic. He said the board had never made an examina- ton of any of the three. Dr. Date R. Alexander, head of the Kansas City college. took the examination from the Connecticut state board at one time with a group of others. Dr. Hair testified.
 In answer to a motion by Attorney Broder that Dr. Hairs testimony be stricken out Attorney Carpenter asked that the evidence relating to the St. Louis school be allowed to apply to all three, stating that he would show "tie-up in the selling of diplomas" between the three in- stitutions.
 Attorney Pond brought out in cross-examination that prior to his receipt of a degree from the Kan sas City college. Dr. Hair had writ ten various articles for the National Eclectic body's publication, was president of the Connecticut Eclec- tic society and had been practicing since 1890.
 An attempt on the part of At torney Fitzpatrick to bring in testi- mony of Dr. Hair that the men whose licenses had been revoked had not been called in for . hear ing was unsuccessful when the court and Attorney Carpenter expressed the belief that this point had been thoroughly put on record in the pleas and was not in dispute.
 In July. 1923, the board re- examined group of about 20 doc tors who had taken examinations previously. pr. Hair stated, saying in response to questioning by Attor- ney Fitzpatrick that this was done "by request of pr. Gerald Fitz- patrick" Dr. Hair was still on the stand when recess was declared for lunch.

 The same incompetence has re- gently resulted in the navy killing Is men in about 35 days around Norfolk. No amount of propaganda will hush this up in minds of the families of those whose lives have been uselessly lost"

At River Bend 1t was learned that there was nothing def mite in the report, but the general story there ran that the aviators had been found alive on the north bank of the Shipshaw river.
 Blais was reached over the tele- phone and said that he had discov- cred that the report was without foundation and that 1t had been brought to River Bend by a forest worker who had proved unreliable. Blais said that when he had first heard the report, he thought 1t cor rect and sent the news to his mother in good faith. On finding that 1t was erroneous. he sent . telegram to this effect.
 Information was received from two sources telling of further efforts to find trace of the missing aviators. The messages were received by the chief of the provincial forestry serv- ice.

Strength of these issues contracted. however, with unmistakable signs of forced liquidation in . handful of special ties.
 Steady absorption of General Mo. tors. U. s. Steel and Baldwin and many of the rail shares gave impet- us to the upward trend. carrying more thar a dozen issues into new high ground for the year.

Rock Island got to 1l5 and St. Louis- Southwestern touched s615. both the highest ever attained.
 Strength of New York Ontario and Western New Haven caused revival of rumors that control of the former would pass from the New Haven to another system. New York Central reflected realizing aft CT yesterdays pronounced advance.
