Defendant Posts Bond of
. $4,000; $4,000 Dam
ages Asked

DR.. Oliver Dahl, doctor of Nat
uropathy, posted bond in the sum
of $4,000 before the clerk of the
court here this morning after his
arrest by the sheriff's department
last night in connection with an
action entitled C. A. Hardy, adj
ministrator Of Paul G. Hardy,
against Dr.. Oliver Dahl.
In the complaint in the action,
in which the plaintiff is seeking
$4,000 actual damages and $15,-
900 punitive damages, the plain
tiff alleges that the defendant is
without license to practice as
non-drug giving practitioner.
1t is further alleged that the
defendant undertook to treat an
illness in Paul Hardy, the 7-year-
old son of the plaintiff, which ne
diagnosed as tonsilitis.
1t is further alleged that as
the condition of the child became
worse Doctor Dahl admitted that
he knew nothing Of the disease
with which the child was afflict-
ed and that after two other doc
tors were called in the illness was
diagnosed as diphtheria, and that
the child later died.
The plaintiff contends that on
account of the conduct and rep
vaccinations of the defendant, de-
scribed as fraudulent, intentional
and grossly negligent and without
regard for the welfare of the
child the child was permitted to
die.

NO INDICATION
BRITISH WILL.
REDUCE FLEET.
Diplomatic Negati a tions
For Settlement of War
Continuing
EARLY BREAK TOWARD
PEACE IS POSSIBLE

LONDON, Oct. 24.-(UP).-
Italy notified Great Britain today
that it has instructed division Of
troops to move away from the
Egyptian frontier in Libya but it
was indicated Britain has no in
tent'on of responding Immediate
ly with a reduction of hei Medi-
terranean fleet.
Informed sources emphasized
that ltaly's action is in no sense a
part Of any bargain. On the con-
trary, it was said, although the
gesture is fully appreciated in
London, there is no definite indi-
cation whether the Libyan troops
are merely shifting their positions
or returning to Italy.
Also, it was declared, the Ital-
ian forces in Libya still are LETT
considerably above normal, and
four times as great as the British
forces in Egypt.
Diplomatic negotiations were
expected to continue.
British, French and Italian lead
ers were eager to grasp any means
of capitalizing the portentious
seven days before the League Of
Nations takes it's next step to pen
alize Italy for attacking Ethiopia.
The situation as obtained from
reliable sources in the capitals is
as follows:
/. Premier Benito Mussolini has
announced his intention to with
draw one division of regulars from
Libya, bordering Egypt and the
Sudan. 1885,.
2. Mussolini has made known q
desire to postpone application Of
league penalties in order to create
good diplomatic atmosphere.
3. Premier Pierre Laval Of
France has arranged to act as 60
between and to acquaint Great
Britain of any peace suggestions
he or Mussolini may have to make.
4. 1t has been agreed that there
is no present basis for negotiation
sufficient to warrant calling spe-
cial meeting of the league council,
which is in charge of the Italian
Ethiopian crisis so far as negotia-
tons with Italy 60.
5. Great Britain is disposed
neither to make any peace offers
itself nor to countenance any
French or Italian offer which IS
not satisfactory to the league ana
to Ethiopia.
6. The government will decide,
probably today, whether the with
drawal of one division from Libya
it believes there are four alto
gether-is sufficient reason for
Britain to withdraw even two bat
tie cruisers from it's great fleet.
The situation is one in which
there could be an early break to-
ward peace talks. But it seemed
apparent that any break must
come from Rome. 1t was appar-
ent also that at the moment there
was no reason to believe Premier
Benito Mussolini was ready to re-
cede from his demands on Ethiopia
or that Britain was ready to re-
cede from it's position that any
agreement must be satisfactory to
Ethiopia.
There were indications also that
Britain would consent to no post
ponement of the application of
league penalties against Italy.
