Dead or Discharged 9 Years

Disclosure was made today by the
Commissioners that the District has
been paying st. EliZabeth's Hospital
for IL patients who were either
dead or discharged as far back as
March, 1932"-reportedly because of
failure of welfare officials to check
on admissions and discharges.
In a cleanup of these II cases,
brought about by an audit of ac-
counts under the direction of Act
ing District Auditor Arthur r. Pill
kerton, the District today received
check issued on the authority of
st. Elizabeth Hospital officials for
$28 8,901.34, and the Commissioners
were informed that final check on
two additional cases probably
would entail an additional repay
ment to the District of $4,000.
Disclosure of the payment of
maintenance and care sums for the
II dead or discharged" patients, it
was announced, resulted from the
Commissioners order of last year
for an audit of all District accounts.
The order was issued after discovery
of a shortage in the accounts of

count, with only four of 1876 pre-

Maverick, 1854.
Votes of two other candidates
were sufficient to force the runoff

LONDON, May 14.-Foreign Sec
retary Eden bluntly warned Japan
today that British economic restric-
tions against her would not be eased
unless Japan recognizes British
rights in China.
He said instructions to this effect
had been sent to the British Am
bassador at Toxic.
Both the British Ambassador,
Sir Robert Leslie Craigie, and
the United States envoy, Joseph
c. Grew, conferred separately
today with Japanese Foreign
Minister Matsuoka, said a dis
patch from Tokio.)
Speaking in the House of Com
mons, Mr.. Eden declared also that
Britain had great sympathy with
Syrian aspirations for independence
(The British fear Syria may become
route for a German drive on Suez
from Asia Minor)
About Iraq, which adjoins Syria,
Mr.. Eden said British forces there
were being reinforced swiftly, but
that Britain had no intention OF
threatening Iraqs independence.
Intends to Assist China.
Discussing British-Japanese rela-
tions, Mr.. Eden said Britain would
continue to do what she could to
help China maintain her independ-
ence.
II have indicated on recent occas-
ions that Japanese discrimination
against our interests in China is at
variance with the numerous assur-
ances of the japanese government
and that in the view of his majesty s
government the japanese govern
ment cannot divest themselves of
responsibility" Mr.. Eden said.
II have stated that representations
have been addressed to the govern
ment and its representatives, the
outcome of which has been unsatis-
factory"
ITO this I must add that r have
now instructed his majestys Am
bassador in Toxic to reply to jap
anese complaints of economic re-
strictions in British territory by
saying that, while our main object is
to conserve supplies for our war ef-
fort and prevent those supplies from
reaching our enemies, we naturally
are influenced in deciding OUR eco

Japanese government toward our
interests in China"

his statement on Japan as showing

"Will he give us assurance that
