Nurse at Ttie Dalles Injured."
THE DALLES, Or., Feb. 4. (Spe
cial.) Mrs. E. H. Joe-rns, superin
tendent or nurses at The Dalles hos
pital, suffered a broken leg and seri
ous bruises about the heed and body
last night when she was struck by an
automobile driven by Dr. C. H. Day of
this city. The accident occurred while
Mrs. Joerns was out walking and was
using the street because of the slip
pery condition of the sidewalk, the
police said. Dr. Day had dimmed bis
lights because of the approach of
another car, and did not see tha
woman until too 1te to ttop.
Pleas of not guilty to all three of
the specific charges lodged against
him by the government were made
by Dr. N. E. Waysun, chief of the
Portland Public Health Service bos
pitaL at an open hearing started yes
terday in room 520 of the county
courthouse.
The board is not unlike an army
court martial board. It Is composed
of three officers of high rank chosen
from the public healtji service of
me west.
Tne charges Dr. Wayson denies fol
low. -
"So conducting himself that his
acts have become notorious and have
brought a scandal to the service and
himself in disrepute.
' Abusing an applicant for relief.
"Oppressing or maltreating a per
son under his command."
All Evidenced to Be Heard.
Dr. J. C. Perry of San Francisco,
chief of the board of hearing, de
clared yesterday that he and Vita asso
ciates were here prepared to hear
"every scrap of evidence, no matter
how long it takes." He invited both
sides to introduce all' evidence pos
sible so that the matter might be
thoroughly cleared up. The board
does not have the power to relieve
or punish Dr. Wayson, but merely
upon the evidence submitted may
make recommendation to the secre
tary of the treasury. Final action
must come from Washington.
The charges were made several
weeks ago by Ralph Horr, of the na
tional organization of the Disabled
American Veterans of the world war.
He charged that Dr. Wayson had been
cruel to inmates of the public health
service hospital, and was inefficient
in his handling of the medical and
surgical cases of veterans. These
charges brought an inquiry. Dr.
Hugh de Valin' and Dr. Duncan Mo
Callman of Seattle were sent here
and spent several days gathering
evidence which was sent to the surgeon-general
of the public health
service and resulted in an order for
a general hearing.
Disabled Hen to Testify.
Most of the men who will appear
against Dr. Wayson in the hearing
are local members of the disabled
veterans. They charge him with neg
lect and brutality.
The first session, of the hearing
was adjourned yesterday noon and
will be called for tomorrow at 10
