dali Bradley Hussard. 81. Of Albany
n. ". amnesia victim who has been
wandering through the South and
Middle West for the past nine days,
today clasped in his mothers arms,
Mrs. Beulah u. sica. Of Albany, who
came here to identity him.
After a touching reunion in which
tears OF happiness put to flight
fears and apprehension, the young
Syracuse University students mem
cries came flooding back to him.
His mother ordered the youth put
to bed under a physicians care and
said she would leave late today
for their home in Albany.
The Identification was made in
the offices of a private detective
agency here. An operative of the
agency was approached by Hussard
on the street Monday. Hussard told
the detective he did not know his
name or where he came from and
had only a vague recollection OF
having his ticket punched on a
train at Pittsburgh last Thursday.
When he ''aw0ke" at Pittsburgh
his mind was an utter blank, he
said. and he wandered from Pitts
burgh to Wheeling, w. Va. and
thence to Columbus, seeking fanlil-
lar sights or faces.
The probability that he was stlf-
fering from amnesia took root in
his mind. and he had gone to the
Carnegie Library here In an effort
to solve his difficulties unaided by
procuring books on Insanity and
amneSia.
First clues as to his identity were
disclosed by firm labels on his
clothing.

MRS. | NJ B R Il.
PROTESTS

Mrs. Robert Imbrie, widow Of the
American consular officer who was
murdered by a Persian mob In
Teheran some years ago. appeared
before d subcommittee OF the House
Foreign Affairs Committee today
asking Congress to intervene in the
controversy which she has with the
State Department as to the amount
of relief from the Persian govern.
ment to which she IL entitled.
The State Department made 4
settlement with Persia with regard
to Naturalization in 1924. The
indemnity. according to State De-
partment officials. was planned 70
cover not only her relief. to which
Mrs. Imbrie had claim, but also
compensation to the American Gov.
ernment for the indignity which it
had sustained in the episode.
After the settlement was made
the State Department determined
to devote a portion of the indem.
nifty Tor a scholarship to be given
to Persian students who desired to
be educated in the United States.
In effect, the indemnity was re.
turned to Persia in much the same
manner as the indemnity awarded
the United States following the
boxer outrages in China was re.
turned to the latter government.
1t is understood that Mrs. Imbrie
protested to the House Foreign
Affairs subcommittee today about
this phase of the settlement. The
hearing was held in star chamber
session, and no recommendation
as to what course Congress should
pursue with reference to the matter
will be made for some time.

In his explanation, Work linked
the Cat Creek Montana oil contract

field. He did SO to show Senator
Walsh knew the renewal option
was in both contracts as early as

Work placed in evidence a file

Walsh he had been courteous
enough to counsel me in the dispo-

Before renewals were made,
Work explained, the executive Of
ficers OF the department carefully
construed the law having in view all
the facts and the complete data of
the case. and recommended renewal.
The Department Of Justice later in.
validated the original contracts of
sale which Of course nulllfied the
renewal of said cent? acts. In this
respect conflict of legal opinion de-
yeloped between the law officers OF
the two departments.
How Experts differ
"The Secretary OF the Interior,
In the determine ton of questions like
