DEMOCRATS AID DARK MYSTERY. SAYS PRITCHARD G. 0. P. Candidate Denies Discussing New Club With Sumner. “It's all a deep, dark mystery to me," was the comment today of Walter Prifchard. candidate for the Republican nomination for mayor, when asked what group was behind the new “Democratic Pritchard for Mayor Club.” Mr. Pritchard appeared concerned over reports that the club was organized by supporters of Sheriff Charles R. Sumner, who several days ago withdrew from the Democratic mayoralty race. The club opened headquarters several days ago on the second floor of the building at the northwest corner of Pennsylvania and Washington streets. Huge signs proclaim the club to the world at large. The headquarters were opened a few hours after Mr Sumner withdrew, because of organization support being placed behind Superior Judge John W. Kern. Denies Talk on Club Mr. Pritchard denied that he ever discussed such a club with Sheriff Sumner, or any of his workers. “Some time ago, I learned that persons dissatisfied with the present Democratic administration and party heads were contemplating supporting me in the primary and election,” Mr. Pritchard said. “That was at the time Mr. Sumner was announcing his candidacy and was active in starting his campaign.” He added that he understood the voters contemplating such a club for him were as much opposed to Mr. Sumner as any one else, and that they were interested primarily in Mr. Pritchard, first, last and all the time. Wants to Remain Ethical He said that he had refused to address a south side group, fearing it might be a regular organization Democratic club, and that in doing so he might be considered unethical. or be striving to split Democratic ranks. Mr. Pritchard said he desired and welcomed campaign assistance any persons may contribute in his behalf on their ow r n initiative. Asked if he knew whether John Zener, former police lieutenant and Armitage political faction henchman in the Shank administration, was active in organization of the “Democratic Pritchard for Mayor Club,” he said he had no definite information. Recalls Talk With Zener Recently, he said, Mr. Zener spoke to him about the campaign, but indicated that he was on the “outs” with Bill and Jim Armitage, powerful in the Shank era; with Sumner and with most all the others in political power at the present. In the absence of an investigation, Mr. Pritchard said he is unable to pass an opinion on the sincerity of the club. He added that the club might injure him, politically. with Republicans, as well as with his Democratic friends. He indicated he might issue a statement later, after investigation of persons behind the club. LUMBER INDUSTRY IN OREGON SHOWS GAINS Market Increase in Volume Is Reported for 1933.

ASYLUM QUA RDS BEAT PATIENTS, PROBERS LEARN Wisconsin Inquiry Reveals Further Abuses; Deaths Are Studied. This is the second of a series regarding abuses of patients in Wisconsin institutions, uncovered by a legislative investigation, and of efforts expected to improve conditions there. By Unixed Prrgg MADISON, Wis., March 24.—A legislative committee in Wisconsin today is going back behind causes listed on death certificates of state insane hospital inmates carried to their graves in recent years. Testimony that patients there ware teased and tormented until they became violent and then were beaten by guards “who get a kick out of it,” was one of the many things prompting such action. Two witnesses whose sworn testimony has nob been disputed added this charge to a long list of other abuses which separate investigating bodies representing the Governor and the legislature have substantiated to their own satisfaction. Patient Choked to Death Another testified to seeing a patient choked to death in a process referred to by attendants as “necking out.” The committee advised Governor Albert G. Schmedeman that five other inmates at the same institution apparently died from effects of brutalities practiced upon them there. The Governor immediately approved a wholesale cleanout of personnel in this hospital and appointed a committee of his ow r n to make further investigations. Attendants testified that since the investigations began at the criminal hospital, blackjacks have disappeared, leather cuffs have been provided to protect wrists of violent patients from cutting by cruel chains, and beds have been supplied badly deteriorated patients who formerly slept on pads or stone floors. Complaining Employe Fired The first tendency to isolate sex perverts preying upon other inmates and persons suffering venereal diseases working in the kitchen have been shown in this institution since the investigation began, according to the testimony of a former attendant, who said he was discharged after making a detailed complaint of conditions to the Governor. The Governor turned the complaint over to the board of control, which notified the attendant that his services were at an end. This ■witness, a former school teacher, testified that when he proposed separation of known perverts to the superintendent, the latter laughed it off with the remark that he was “running a college on sex perversion.” German to Relate War Experience Experiences behind the German line during the World war will be discussed by Hans Schulze before the Scientech Club at noon Monday in the Columbia Club.
