proval Of the $2,500,000 sewer
loan from the Public Works Ad-

up waiting personal investigation
by Secretary Of Interior Harold
IckeS.
Approximately $45,OOO has al

been issued by 1ckes, it was said
today.

Special Committee Probing
Reports Some State Hos

RICHMOND, Feb. 6.-S I'm e
patients in Virginia hospitals for
the feeble minded sleep on pads
on the floors and unsanitary con-
ditions exist, 1t was admitted last
night by DR.. w. G. Brown, super
intendent Of the Eastern State
Hospital. Williamsburg.
However, DR.. Brown testified
under oath before the General
Assembly's special committee in.
vestigating conditions in hospitals
for the insane, feeble.minded and
epileptic, that the mental condi-
ton of many of the patients is
responsible for their preferring
pads on the floor to beds. This
same mental state also is respon-
sible for some of the unsanitary
conditions, he testified.
The charges against the State
institutions were brought by the
Virginia Medical Society and led
to appointment of the special
committee.
DR.. Brown said appropriations
are insufficient to supply beds
for all patients and his story of
conditions was largely borne out
by DR.. j. S. DeJarnette, super
intendent of the Western State
Hospital. Staunton. Conditions at
the latter institution are not quite
so bad, the physician testified,
because of the difference in types
of mental cases at the two inSti-
tutions. He, too. deplored the
lack of sufficient appropriations.

trolled and held to $1,000 q month
each by Judge Morgan.
The will and the various docu-
ments pertaining to 1t were replaced
on the desk. Judge Morgan had an
nounced that was all, and had arisen
as though expecting the others to
leave, when Morton Lampere held up
restraining hand.
"A word with Mrs. Dale, please.
Mrs. Dale, you have heard the reading
of the will and with your intelligence
I know you have felt the injustice
done the widow of our late friend.
Now, Mrs. Dale, I wonder If you
haven't something to say to us here
before Judge Morgan?"
Judith regarded the man q long
moment. She had been seeing him
around the Offices for years, but never
before had she sought to find the man
beneath strikingly handsome features.
Pleasant, suave, too pleasant she de-
cided.
"Mr. Lampere, have my instruc-
tions from Mr.. Bevins and I shall
respect and obey them to the best OF
my ability"
Judith's voice was clear as she
spoke and her eyes rested on her hus-
band, rather than the man she was
addressing, as though she hoped he
would understand.
I'm afraid we've pressed you q
little too early" Lampere countered
suddenly. 'You 60 home, take time to

Judith looked up. The room was
silent as though those there had felt
the presence of the other man, and
Judith, eyes wide with sadness as
she realized what lay ahead, spoke
to the judge.
"I have finished reading the IN
structionS my former employer left
for me, Judge Morgan. I am ready
now to hear his will"
The document was lengthy and
filled with legal phrases which meant
nothing to Judith. Filled with grief
and forebodings, she looked out OF
the window. There were bushy oaks
clustering tire line of the bayou. and
beyond were the book-like roofs Of
the little homes she had seen on that
first trip with Norman. Tfptilted
bindings of red. and green and tan
covering their simple stories.
Judith envied the women who lived
beneath them. She envied the ones
in their postage-stamp yards, hanging
out billowing sheets, the ones in the
matchbox houses bending over hot
ovens. testing fragrant loaves with
expert fingers.
That night their husbands would
come in. soiling trim ginghams with
hand grimed bear-hugs, but Judith
would willingly have had the golden
tissue tea gown of the previous night
ruined, had Norman wanted to give
her more than frigid kiss of greet
ing.
Only half comprehending, she
caught through the maze of legal
phraseology words which meant that
she had been bequeathed stocks,
bonds and other assets listed herewith
and aggregating the sum of $4,000, 900,
to be liquidated as needed"
And, Isl per cent of the stock OF
the Bevins Construction Co., hereto
fore held in my name" There was
also a phrase which said that this
money was to be used in the manner
outlined to Judith Lane, on the night
of August Is and in compliance with
detailed plans which she had filed In
her safety deposit box.
There was more, much more. Mrs
BevinS asked certain clauses be re-
peated and Judith. listening, felt re-

"Mr. Lampere," Judith's gray eyes
were blue-black with anger, before
you commit yourself further I'd like
to let you know that the reason Mr..

he couldn't trust you; he found that

see to this. He will see to other

ented. He may even attempt to
cause a separation between you
and your husband.
Judith, I have thought OF all OF
these things and what they will
mean to you. during these sleep
less nights, and in spite of them, l
am going on with the writing OF
this new will because L do believe
that you will have the vision to see
my vision, and the strength to
carry out my plans.
You are a daughter of Emil
Lane You lived and worked with
him for Is years, the years during
which your character was formed.
I believe he built that character
on the same fine, firm foundation
he built his bridges.
Emil never built for personal
glory and always his first conSid-
Grafton was for the greatest good
to the greatest number of people.
When they press you hard,
Judith, think of those you are
helping. You will understand
shortly. why I sold those bonds
and placed the seemingly large
sum of cash in the bank in your
name I told you it was to be held
in trust for me. 1t was. but I
wanted you to have complete use
of it without interference, legal or
otherwise.
The will I am leaving will be
bitterly contested. I have prepared
for that. But the money left for
you to use in constructing the dam
will be tied up. The company funds
may be depleted through forced
liquidation, and this cash you
have, Judith, will be needed to
carry on the work at the dam, SO
the men on the ground will not
suffer and SO the natives who trust
me will not have to wait too long
for their hopes to materialize.
Remember you are only a girl,
but upon your firmness in carry
ing out my desires rest the des-
TIMES of hundreds of laboring
men.
And now to your trial. God
' bless you. If there is way for
