Charges Of violations of the prohibit
ton law against two persons were nolle
pressed yesterday by the office OF the
assistant United States attorney at Pc
lice Court. One case was dismissed
bv Judge Robert E. Mattingly and one
person pleaded not guilty to charge
of possession and demanded jury

Because HIS Is ''Under Fire"
in Washington.

DR.. Samuel Kahn. psychiatriSt at
Galliuger Municipal Hospital and the
target of criticism of administration in
the psychopathic ward at the institu-
ton, resigned yesterday to become head
of the pSycopathic division Of Sing
Sing. the New York State prison at
OsSining.
The resignation came as a dramatic
prelude to the closing chapter Of the
Board of Public Welfare's inquiry of
conditions at the hospital as q result
of the criticism by reporter and Judge
Kathryn Sellers of the Juvenile Court.
Dr. Kahn declared, however. he was not
leaving because he was under fire." or
that the present investigation had any
thing to do with his resignation, but
pointed out that he took civil serv-
ice examination for the Ossining posi-
ton eight months ago and his appoint
ment, through a coincidence, happened
to be made at this time.
Time for Private Practice.
AS head of the prison psycopathic
department, DR.. Kahn said he would
have time to devote to private practice
as we'll as serve on the faculty of New
York University, where he was con-
nected before coming to Washington
In addition, he explained, the new posi-
ton VIII pay MN q salary OF $o,VVu
year, considerably more than he re-
ceived from Gallinger.
DR.. Kahn submitted his resignation
to DR.. Edgar A. Bocock, superintendent
of Gallinger. during public hear
ing yesterday of the committee of the
Welfare Board, which is making an in
curry of conditions at the hospital. 1t
was accepted by DR.. Bocock, and
shortly afterward the psychiatrist left
for New York.
Dr. Kahn was appointed to the Gal
linger staff last December, coming to
Washington from the Kings County
Hospital in New York State.
Await Judges Testimony.
Meanwhile the probe Of the hospital
by the medical committee Of the Board
of Public Welfare is all over except
for the testimony Of Judge Sellers,
whose charges, appearing in articles III
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-09-01

The Evening Star, were among the
moving causes of the inquiry. Whether
Judge Sellers will accept the invitation
Of the committee TO testify or not is
not known. No answer is expected I'M
til the Judge reaches Washington after
Labor day. She is now out Of the city
on a vacation.
The committee held a hearing yes
terday in the board room Of the Dis
trict Building, at which the reporter
who wrote a series of articles contain
ing unfavorable comment on the hos
pital administration testified under
oath that the matter in the articles
was true.
At the same time w. w. MILAN,
chairman of the investigating commit
tee, read three letters from DR.. Bocock
in reply to specific criticism of Judge
Sellers In the cases of three patienfS
Of the hospital. In each case DR.. b.
cock reported that the criticism was
unjust:fied.
DR.. D. Percy Hickling, District
alienist, testified that immediate re-
straint was used on patients at the
hospital only in rare cases, where they
showed Self-mutilative characteristics
or where 1t was necessary for them to
be kept still during certain treatments
where it was inadviSable to use mar
cotic drugs.
DR.. Hickling said that about a year
ago physician had been asked to re-
sign from the hospital staff for failure
to diagnose a ruptured bladder in a
colored woman, from which injury she
subsequently died.

NEW FIRES MENACE
MANITOBA FORESTS
Sparks Carried for Miles in Some
Areas While Patrols Gain
at Other Points.
BY the Associated Press.


WINNIPEG, Manitoba, August 81
Famed by stiff winds. forest fires were
reported spreading rapidly in Northern
and Central Manitoba today. Sparks
were carried for miles into dry, wooded
country, presenting battling problems
for the fire fighters in the Sandiland
area and around Lake Winninpegosis.
Air patrols were unable to assist in
these sections on account of the heavy
clouds of smoke. Rain is needed badly.
After a weeks fighting at the Pas
Forest, patrols have the fires under
control, and the blaze in the Duck Lake
and Porcupine districts has been headed
off.
At Riding Mountain two new fires
were brought under control quickly,
but there still remains danger of fresh
outbreaks because of the dry timber.
Thirty-three fire fighters narrowly es-
capped death near Rennie yesterday
when flames nearly surrounded them.
They were guided to safety through
heavy smoke by calls of James Barclay,
section foreman, who had been sta
toned as lookout on high rock ridge.
They lost their equipment.
Animal life has been driven into the
open by the flames, and several lumber
camps have been destroyed.
