SOLDIER ESTATES ARE SQUANDERED, CONGRESS DEARS Guardianship for Veterans of World War Conducted Scandalously, Charge. Times Washington Bureau, 1522 Ncio York Avenue WASHINGTON, May 21 Guardianship for veterans of the World War presents a problem Which this Congress will try before adjournament to solve. Present conditions are little short of scandalous. • The ruction over Fenning, commissioner of the District of Columbia, who now faces impeache ment, has now served to call attention to conditions which are country-wide. Fenning is accused of farming the insane or incompetent veterans. He has been a professional guardian of the property of such persons and is accused of taking not only the 10 per cent allowed by law, but other less legal prerequisites. Other Examples Maj. Donald G. Arnold, national guardianship officer of the United States Veterans Bureau, says there are others in other parts of the country who .have been doing the same. Recently one in Baltimore was sent to Atlantic penitentiary for six years as a result of legal inquiries by the guardianship bureau. The Veterans' Bureau has officially reported to Congress that “Improper guardians ♦have been appointed over bureau beneficiaries, the estates of bureau beneficiaries have been squandered and their dependents or net of ldn deprived of the benefits of tneir estates through embezzlement, misappropriation or poor investments. “There is a constant shuffling and dealing of guardians, because of the maladministration, death or removal of guardians, or movement of the

poisons from my system and blessed relief came so quickly that I was surprised,” said Mr. John W. Carver, well known Indianapolis citizen, living at 515 North Delaware Street, this city, during a recent conversation with The Konjola Man who is at Hook's drug store, Pennsylvania and Market Streets, where crowds are calling daily to learn about this amazing new medical preparation. “Yes, my rheumatic aches and pains hUve vanished,” said Mr. Carver, “and I had no idea that such a short treatment of any medicine would so completely relieve my trouble. “I had been affected mostly across my back and through my hips. ’When I would go to move a certain way, cither when walking or turning sideways in bed, I would get a sharp, terrific pain that seemed to come suddenly like a shock, and it certainly was miserable. Os course, I ached continually, but when these sharp pains would grab me I felt like I Just couldn't stand the suffering another minute. If I attempted to rise from a sitting position, I had to hold to something and be careful not to twist a certain way. At nights I was subject to these attacks, which broke up my rest so that I could seldom get a night’s sleep. T would wake every morning feeling sc> terrible that It was misery to even dress myself. I couldn’t even firo the furnace —and J tell you this rheumatism is awful. “I began on this Konjola as soon as 1 learned what it was doing for so many people, and as I said, it relieved me very quick. I get up in the mornings and dress without a bit of pain now, and I sleep fine ail night long and can bend and twist any way I care to. The pains in my back, hips and limbs aro all relieved, and it’s a blessing now that I have no fear of those awful attacks of pain and suffering as F experienced before. I've been heljted in many other ways by Konjola, and my whole body has anew feeling of health all over. I can put in a good day's work now, and feel like doing lots of lifting and other things that require strength. “After all this relief from rheumatism, I surely tfeko pleasure in making a public Indorsement T>f Konjola.” The Konjola Man Is at Hook’s drug store, Pennsylvania and Market Streets, Indianapolis, where tie Is daily meeting the public and introducing and explaining rlie merits of this remedy. Free samples given. Konjola is also for sale by every Hook drug store in this city, and by other druggists In surrounding towns. —Advertisement.

ward from State to State, resulting in confusion and delay In the administration of the estates. “Hundreds of guardians do not reside in the States in which their wards reside. There are many guardians of bureau beenfleiaries residing in the United States while the beneficiary resides outside of the continental limits of the United States.” Totals Given On March 1, 1926, there were 19,278 mental incompetents and 21,049 minors, or a total of 40,327 bureau beneficiaries under guardianship. Approximately 50 per cent of the incompetents are In hospitals. Between Oct. 1, 1925, and March 1, 1926 (five months) there was an increase of 2,157 incompetents and 2,997 minors, or a total of 6,154, making an average of 1,230 a month. There is paid bu the bureau to guardians approximately $24,991,666 a year, $3,725,888 for minor and $21,265,778 for mental incompetents. "Under the law,” Major Arnold explains, "a person is either sane or insane. He is either entitled to all of his estate, or non eof It. This situation is an extremely difficult one to meet as many of the bureau beneficiaries are not what would properly be called under the law insane, but are suffering* from such a proposal of mental disability that they are unable to handle their own financial affairs. Under the present practice, a court of competent jurisdiction has to legally determine said beneficiaries incompetency before compensation can be paid to a guar-i dian. "Manyworld war veterans have

not been paid the compensation due them because their families do not want them legally determined as incompetent or insane. A largo percentage of bureau beneficiaries who have been legally determined as insane would not have been so adjudicated had it not been necessary for them to do so in order to receive compensation due them under the World War veterans act. Guardians have been appointed In many instances where there has been no legal determination by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the competence of the bureau ficiaryGreat Delay “Probate courts are generally county courts and there are some 3,073 counties in the United States. Questions of the court as to the qualifications desiring to be a guardian are not met with favor in many courts. Many times guardians of bureau beneficiaries are appointed, the first knowledge of said appointment coming to the bureau months after action by the court. Great delay is experienced in the appointment and discharge of guardians resuiting in distress and grtat inconvenience to bureau beneficiaries.” These are some of the difficulties which it is hoped will be corrected by the Johnson bill, which has passed the house and will soon be considered in tiie Senate. A hospital boat is about to be put in service on the Yukon river in Alaska. Radio programs broadcast in this country cost about $50,000 a night.
