Europe’s greatest spy chase, now linked specifically with the Unfted States, continued today as Robert G. and Marjorie Switz. young Americans held at leaders, revealed more details of the espionage ring's activities. Police sought the identity of a Russian whom Switz said he had met at Roosevelt flying field New York, and through whom he entered the espionage ring. Switz asserted that he could not remember the Russian s name. The American then was a stunt aviator operating at the field. Switz said he and his wife were destined at first to be spies in England—where they lived for some months—but were sent to France. “I was most sorry,” Switz said, “because I am a friend of France.” After announcing that agents sought a woman named Violette Levine, believing her to have associated with members of the espionage ring, the Surete Generale announced that it had been mistaken —that she was not connected in any way in the affair.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

STATE HOSPITAL ABUSES SHOCK ALL WISCONSIN Death-Causing Cruelties in Institutions Reported by Investigators. Shocking conditions arc bring exposed in Wisconsin state institutions which citizens heretofore regarded as among the best in the country. This is the first of a series of dispatches describing recent investigations, the abuses disclosed and results anticipated. By United Press MADISON, Wis.. March 23.—With one state hospital superintendent resigned and a score of medical and staff attendants under suspension. Wisconsin citizens who have considered the conduct of their state's penal and charitable institutions a model for the country today rubbed their eyes in amazement at recent revelations. Official investigating groups have reported cruelties causing several deaths among patients in state insane hospitals, and virtual “burial alive” in the hospital for criminally insane of persons whose records do not warrant their incarceration in such a place. The superintendent of the Northern State Hospital for the Insane at Oshkosh resigned under fire last month and the revelations of a legislative investigating committee resulted in suspensions for his staff members. Criminal action was under way today against one attendant charged with choking a patient to death and the committee reported to Governor Albert G. Schmedeman that it be lieved that five other deaths in the Oshkosh institution were due to inhuman treatment. The head of the state board of control which is in direct charge of all penal and charitable institutions of the state succeeded in barring a legislative group from entering the Central State hospital housing the criminally insane after the committee had taken sensational testimony from guards and former guards in hearings outside the institution. A committee of two physicians and one attorney, appointed by Governor Schmedeman, however, is conducting an inquiry and hearing the complaints of every patient within the institution at Waupun. Testimony taken by the legislative committee, undisputed as yet, reveals that the Waupun hospital has been the scene of mismanagement, brutality and almost unrestricted sex perversion. Demands have been made of the legislative committee for an investigation into the action of the board of control in allowing a superintendent of the state school for the blind to resign after serious accusations had been made against him. A current investigation of the Milwaukee county house of correction, largest penal institution under control of any local governmental units in the state, produced testimony of liquor and drug traffic within the institution, drunken revels and nude dancing by a woman inmate at a New Year’s party conducted by a gang leader.

Creomulsion with creosote and six other highly important medicinal elements, quickly and effectively stops coughs and colds that otherwise might lead to serious trouble. Creomulsion is powerful in the treatment of colds and coughs, yet it is absolutely harmless and is pleasant and easy to take. Your own druggist guarantees Creomulsion by refunding your money if you are not relieved after taking Creomulsion as directed. Beware the cough or cold that hangs on. Always keep Creomulsion on hand for instant use.—Advertisement. Why Are You Nervous! —or “Why do you let yourself suffer from nerves?” Try Koloidzl Iron and Cod Liver Oil Extract Tablets. He says: “I was very nervous and sound sleep was an impossibility. A friend told me about Koloidal Iron Tablets, and I tried them. Now, I sleep soundly and awake completely refreshed. Any one troubled with nervousness, loss of pep, should try them.”
