NUDE GIRL BEATEN,
GOVERNOR ASSERTS
'NWater Cure" Among lnhu-
man Punishments Alleged in
New Hampshire School.
NJ the Associated Press.

CONCORD, N. H., July 20. - Gov.
Charles w. Tobey Of New Hampshire
last night offered specific proof OF his
previously made charges against the
state Industrial School at Manchester
of "barbaric treatment" Of girl inmates.
In a list of punishments, of which
Gov. Tobey offered proof in his state
ment, is q whipping cure, whereby
girls in their teens were given up TO
$50 lashes of a whip on their naked
bodies; a water cure, which was meted
out to young girls by standing them In
a shower and turning q hose on them
full force within few feet of their
bodies" and so-called dungeon
treatment" which provided that the
girls be locked in dark, marrow rooms.
Practices Were Denied.
The statement followed denial OF
harsh treatment made by Charles D.
Emerson of Milford, former chairman
of the board of trustees, whose reap
Monument was refused by Gov. Tobey,
an the ground that Emerson had been
co1nizant of conditions at the school.
con each of my several visits to the
SCHOOL, Gov. Tobey said. Il took wit
nesses with me and cite the details OF
punishments applied at the school IN
the past but which have since ceased
on orders from me"
AS regards to the whippings, 10Y.
Tobev said they were administered with
a piece of rubber piping or tubing and
that in the case of one. OF the whip
pings IAN attendant had to relieve
another in applying the strokes"
water Hurled In Faces.
The water cure" was applied with
n common garden hose, held within a
few feet of the girls, Gov. Tobey said.
Nv the testimony of one attendant, the
statement said. the hose was played In
the girls faces Ito sort OF strange
them" .s
Testimony was given, Gov. Tobey said,
that when one girl put up her hands
TO ward of the force of the water from
her face, "a strap was applied to her
back to make her take her hands
down" The superintendent admitted
his ignorance of these two practices, the
Governors statement said.
The dungeon compartments were
about 6 by 8 feet in size and the
only air came indirectly through
space covered by wire at the top and
front. The only contents Of the dun
ceon were q blanket and a bucket.
In closing Gov. Tobey spoke OF the
methods as "inhuman and more brutal
than in existance in any State prison
for men"

BABY IN ,TOST IDENTITY" SUIT
TO ASK S1OO, 900 FROM HOSPITAL
Action in Chicago MixUp of Infants Authorized by
Prominent Cubwoman "Best Friend"

"These findings would convince Mr..
and Mrs. Bamberger, II they would
study them, that they have the infant
really born to Mrs. Watkins" DR.. Kegel
said, after declaring that Bamberger
had refused to read the findings.
Mrs. Dibrell head OF the Mothers Of
Illinois, q group formed after the baby
mixup, said a mass meeting Of moth
ers, prospective mothers and prospec-
tive brides" will be held Thursday to
discuss means of thwarting another
such maternity ward tangle.
In discussing the "lost identity" suit,
Mrs. Watkins said:
I'VE don't want to force the Bamber-
gers to give up their baoy-or our baby.
That isn't the idea. We may have the
right baby after all. We can't figure out
why the Bambergers can be so sure they
have theirs"

the presence Of hundreds attending the

Jews.
From Galatz came denials Of sup

RADIO ADVERTISING
REACTION HELDDUE
Federal Commissioner Cites
y Argentine Penalty as
Warning for U. S.
BY ROBERT MACK.

With blatant blurbs of advertising,
brOadcasting stations s'are simply kill
ing the goose that lays the golden egg"
IN the opinion Of Federal Radio Com
missioner Ira IT, Robinson.
Aroused by the action of the Argen-
tine government in suspending q
broadcasting station for too much adj
vertising, the commissioner today re-
newed his fight against what he calls
the overdose" of comfnercialism over
some American stations. He reiterated
also his prediction that a revolution
of listeners" will result from the Eek
cesses of the broadcasters in their greed
for commercial gain"
The official report to the Commerce
Department stated that station in
Buenos Aires had been closed for eight
days because 1t was transmitting up
to $50 words of advertising matter be-
tween successive numbers on its pro-
gram.
Judge Robinson cited as an example
Of excessive advertising in this country
the broadcasting OF the recent election
returns.
"Out in my home country In West
Virginia on last Tuesday night when
the election returns were on the air, "
said he, more than one station inter-
rupted and ruined its giving out of
election returns by throwing in COM
mercial advertising. A number Of
listeners present with me became dis
gusted and left thes audience. That
illustrates the sentiment that Is de-
veloping countrywide against COM
liberalization of the radio"

When Is a Man Drunk.
(New York World.)

One of the knotty problems that confront Am erican jurisprudence, as is well known is the dis covery of a method for ascertaining when a man is drunk. The methods in vogue range all the way from the which prevails in traffic court, where is drunk if he has had one drink to the which prevails in the army, where a man is not drunk until he is prone the ground holding to the grass to keep from falling off; all of them, however, leave something to be de- sired chiefly because there is amentable lack of precision about them It a pleasant sur prise then to learn that a magistrate at Jackson vle Fla. has apparently turned the trick, discov- cred test so delicate that it can hardly be more than one of two drinks out of the way and has thus succeeded where whole generations of juriSts have failed. He confronted by three defend- ants accused of having been drunk the night be- fore and officers testified that they had been singing a street corner
 But" he objected, that doesn't prove the charge of intoxicaton." Then turning to the defendants he asked: What you singing, boys?'
 Sweet Adene,' they replied.
 Ten dollars each" he said. Next case"
 No fair minded citizen will challenge this de- cison, and the real beauty of it is that it shows la way of ascertainng different degrees of drunk enness, something that has heretofore been out Iof the question. Indeed, it is in evidence what the defendants singing, a rough scale of penalties be set up follows:
 Hail Hail, the Gangs All Here"-s5 and costs
 Sweet Adeine'-$10 and costs.
 "Ach, Du Lieber Augustin'-$15 and costs
 We Won't Go Home Until Morning-$20 and costs
 My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean"-S25 and costs
 In the opinion of most of us, probably, this Florida magistrate has done something that is really constructive.
