The date Of his wedding to Mrs.
Warfield has not yet been def
nitely set, although it will take
place in the month Of June. The
Duke, incidentally, is paying the
salaries of all servants at the
chateau.
Mrs. Wallis Warfield will auto
matically become "her royal high
ness the Duchess of Windsor"
when she marrieS the duke in
June, it was believed here today.
Whether her title as such will
be published in the official gazette
is not as yet known, but the opin-
ion prevailing here is that after
the marriage she will assume the
royal status Of the former British
king.
Mrs. Warfield and the duke were
closeted alone for several hours
with H. G. Allen, the dukes Lon
don solicitor, discussing their mar
riage plans and financial arrange
ments, it was learned.
It was reported the Duke and
Allan also discussed the libel suit
fled against the author and pub
Usher of the book, Coronation
Commentary" which aroused the
Dukes ire because of references
to Mrs. Warfield and himself.
Announcement of the Dukes
wedding plans is expected Mon
day, with the list of guests at
tending the ceremony probably
being made public the following
day.
The Duke and Duchess Of Kent
are expected to attend the we'd
ding ceremony, and the former
British n1onarch'S youngest
brother may act as his best man.

PHYSICIAN HITS
RELEASE OF
IMBEC|LES
Says Society Women,
Lawyers Conspired
To Get Cheap Help

PITTSBURGH, May IA Q.N.S).
A grim story Of how 102 patients
were released by the courts from
a Maryland home for the feeble
minded to multiply their ills upon
society was laid before the Ameri-
t&n Phychiatric Association in Ses-
sion here today by Dr.. Leo Kan
ner, of Johns Hopkins University.
DR.. Hammer charged the girls
were released in a deal between
society matrons and lawyers so
the matrons could avail them
selves of cheap help.
Criticizing abuse Of the habeas
corpus privilege by which these
patients were released, DR.. Kan
ner presented documentary syi-
dence which he said showed the
patients bred 1855 children, SO Of
them illegitimate and 108 Of them
feeble-minded.
Second Releases
Some Of the feeble-minded girls
were released even second time,
DR.. Hammer charged, after they
had again been recommitted.
OF the 102 patients on which
records were kept, only Is sue
ceeded in readjusting themselves
to society, he said. Prostitution
claimed 30. Seventeen acquired
communicable diseases, six served
prison terms, 81 married alcohol
les, dope addictS, criminals and
mentally unsound persons, and
they produced 1856 children.
Urges New Laws
DR.. Hammer urged strengthening
of State laws to prevent indis-
criminate release of the mentally
tainted as a protection for society.
DR.. Howard Scott Liddell, Of
Cornell University, detailed the
experiments by which he became
the first man to inflict nervous
breakdowns on three sheep and a
pig. BY using the animals, he
said, he hoped to find cures for
humans who suffer nervous break
downs. In the next 10 months,
he predicted, 100000 persons
in this country and Canada will
consult physicians, and of them
100000 will be suffering nervous
and mental disorders.
BY tantalizing them with an
apple placed just outside their
reach and subjecting them to
variegated electric shocks, DR.. Lid
dell said he brought about nervous
collapse. in the animals.
