The public will be admitted free to watch both the afternoon and night events, and The Times and Blocks promises many thrills to the public when the racers jump at the starting gun which will be wielded by Mr. Middlesworth, and fight it out throughout the course of the event. Drawings Tomorrow Drawings in the derby will be made tomorrow morning by The Times Derby Editor and “Jim” Clark, who will be clerk of the course. Names of all contestants in the derby will be published in tomorrow’s Times. Many of the contestants are working out at the Riverside skating rink where Leroy Kirch and C. W.

Contestants are urged to be at the Tomlinson hall rink, Delaware and Market streets, promptly at 2 Saturday, and spectators should be in the free seats in the balcony at the same time, in order not to miss any of the thrills to be provided.

COURT DOCTORS DRAW FIRE OF JUDICIAL CHIEF English ‘Panel System’ Is Also Assailed by Dr. Deem Lewis. Social service workers who “always are experimenting.” and expert medical witnesses who baldly contradict each other m highly publicized trials, were denounced here last night as enemies of organized medicine by Dr. Dean Lewis. Baltimore, president of the American Medical association and chief surgeon John Hopkins hospital Dr. Lewis told a group of fiftyfour Indiana physicians and surgeons, whom he addressed at a dinner in the James Whitcomb Rilej Hospital for Children as part of the Indiana university medical school’s current post-graduate course, that he was worried about “the condition of medicine in this country today.” “I came out here on a train with a gentleman whose name is connected with wealth and he made a point of telling me that doctors weren't doing anything,” Dr. Lewis said. “The medical profession necessarily is conservative by nature,” he continued. “If we tried all the new remedies that are trotted out every year, the American public would have 10.000 quack medicines foisted on it.” “Social workers are experimenting all the time. We know what would happen if we experimented with a broken leg.” Dr. Lewis then turned his fire directly on socialized medicine. He said that, in England, it had doubled the length of hospitalization necessary per patient and that, in the same country, it had resulted in paying $2,500,000 to “a bureaucracy” to administer its panel system. “I am sure the American people wouldn’t stand for the hospital schools I’ve seen abroad,” Dr. Lewis declared. He said that, in France, a bureaucracy was running hospitals without sufficient instruments. Dr. Lewis also lashed out at laymen who, he said, were trying, to exploit the medical profession by organizing group practice at unreasonably low fees for depression-hit physicians, the layman-organizer taking a percentage of the doctor’s earnings: “The medical profession has done more during the depression than any other profession and yet it faces things like this,” Dr. Lewis commented. He urged that latest developments in medicine be taken into the country for physicians unable to attend city clinics. “I am not so much interested in the cost of medicine as I am in the quality,” he summed up. Testifying of expert medical witnesses “seems to be a little crooked in some cases,” Dr. Lewis said, urging co-operation with bar associations to end this. He said he believed it would be better if expert testimony could be given before a board of referees and not in open court. Dr. Lewis cited as harmful to medicine the example of a Baltimore psychiatrist who testified for the plaintiff in a will case and then, on retrial six weeks after the original hearing, testified for the defense. He concluded his talk with a slap at “lay people who can tell you everything about medicine” and at the “versatility of those social workers.” Dr. A. M. Mitchell, Terre Haute, presided at the dinner, which was atended by thirty county secretaries of the Indiana State Medical Association. Dr. Mitchell is chairman of the secretaries’ conference. After the dinner. Dr. Lewis went to the medical school building and delivered a highly technical, illus-

EX-CONVICT IS HELD IN ROBLES KIDNAPING CASE Joe Newton Arrested on Trip From Mexico With Two Friends. B}i United Prct TUCSON. Ariz., May 23.—Joe Newton, ex-convict, will be questioned today in connection with the kidnaping of June Robles. 6-year-old girl who was kept chained to a cage in the desert nineteen days. Newton was arrested on a warrant from Medford (Okla.L charging him with bank robbery, but local officers said they would check his movements closely before releasing him to Oklahoma authorities. Newton was one of the gang convicted and sentenced in connection with tne $2,000,000 mail car robbery .at Roundout, 111., in 1924. Newton and two men who came over the line from Mexico with him were arrested late yesterday. Newton was questioned briefly and locked up. His companions were released after a short interrogation but ordered to return today for further investigation. Their names were not divulged. Police here recalled that Newton’s two brothers, Willis and Wylie also were convicted in the Roundout robbery, but refused to say if they were trying to connect this fact with the Robles child’s story that here abductors called each “Bill” and “Will.” Sheriff John Belton said Newton would be viewed by the men who supplied the materials for the cage which subsequently was used as' a prison for the child. Newton was arrested by Frank Eyman who also figured in tne Roundout arrests. At that time Eyman was a railroad detective in Illinois.
