BUENOS AIRES. Sept. II. UP
Former President Hipolito lrigoyen,
weakened by illness and shorn of
his political power, was placed
aboard the cruiser Belgrano in La

Rumors that the former president
was near death were quieted when
the two physicians commissioned by
the government to examine him

The physicians said Irigoyen was
in a state of moral depression. The
former president was attended by
his personal physician, DR.. Meabe,
