TUESDAY, . JULY 13. 1S20.' THE -OREGON. DAILY. ' JOU RIIAL, PORTLAND, OREGON I SOLDIERS CLAIM PUBLMYS NEED OF SANATOR . :r By Louis- llaverniale '. :, ,' Charges of improper equipment end. Inadequate food at the Pierce Sanatorium, on the Capitol 'highway "near Bertha station, where an aver age of 40 returned service men have leen cared for during the past year, and. where 53 are now, quartered for treatment for tuberculosis have aroused general interest in the situ- alion. While the result undoubted ly will be an inspection and report by officials oT ' the public health service, under direction IromjWaah inton, D.'C, it is also probable that another- outcome will be A decisive movement to secure for. Portland or its immediate vicinity a government hospital' that will be capable of pro viding saDatorium accommodations for former service men in the Pa cific Northwest. ". - y ' "I would not - permit conditions to ' jtlst at the sanatorium such aa have been ascribed to this institution.' says Dr. K. A. Firce, medical Hrector. "We are increasing our accommodations by the erection of -new detached cottages, and. we shall : provide more bath and toilet facilities as noon as the water therefor can be . piped to us. The other charges are grossly, exaggerated.' SOLD IE US REAFFIRM CHARGES On- the Mother' hand." three of the sol dier patients, men who have - been In the - hospital for several months,' reaf firmed; on Monday the . charges which were incorporated In a statement sent by the; "Daddies', club" to Major RIchey It.' WauRh. In charge of the local United States public health service department, and by him forwarded to his superiors with the recommendation that. In view of the grave charges made, an Inspec tion should be conducted by men who are experienced In the conducting of tuberculosis camps. "We have tried at various times to get a betterment of conditions here. said Sergeant Harold Williams, who was of Company B. 121st engineers. - "but they have all failed, and through the publicity that has Just been given to our charges we believe the first practical. step has been, taken to secure various needed : changes. Sergeant Williams, Benjamin G. Banks, who Was a -machinist's, mate In the navy, and, , W. E. . Henderson, who served in : the infantry, are housed In , one of -the' 'detached cottages at the Pierce sanatorium. They freely talked of what! they declared are regular con ditions at the institution and said their statements-' would . be vouched for by other men,, there -under treatment. FOOD SHORT, THEY SAY In substance, they declared- that the food is i insufficient in quantity and ir regular in " quality ; that . three times during ' their; stay at the sanatorium tainted ; meat' was served which it was impossible for any patient- to eat, and that the men : In the cottages, who are distinguished as separate from """bed patlenis-" get so hungry that they send any of their number who are able; to get about down to a grocery tore some' distance away, and they there buy v rood for the others to , be eaten in the cottages between meals. ' Harold v Williams said he bed had only: three examinations In 414-months ; Banks has' been an Inniateof the sanatorium for eight months, he said, and had had but one examination In .that time, while Henderson said he HOSPITAL CENSURED BY ILL SOLDIERS t r . - -f , 'A.

The patients are virtually all kept in the cottages or on the"" screened-in porches. The quarters are clean and the beds . neat in appearance,, but there is obviously: alack of toilet-and bath fa cilities. One toilet and bath must serve for ail the persons- on the first floor, as well as those in the detached cottages. There are two toilets ow the second i loo.' The kitchen rwas found 6" be neat: and clean,.)' as ' was also the diet kitchen. Three persons " were working in the kitchen, and . all; were neatly clad and clean in appearance.- - - -" The ndrsihg staff consists of . seven graduate nurses. The patients are treated by, Drs. .Pierce and ,Frank , McCauley, and they visit the place, twice daily, and are also prepared to . respond to any emergency calls, . s ; ; 5 - The sanatorium is j not an attractive building, : nor are the ) detached cottages, which are -of the most simple construc tion. The place is such, in the opinion of the visitor, as would answer for sana torium use were no better quarters avail able, but it is a frame structure with inadequate water : supply : and, conse quently, an increased hazard from fire. MAT : BE OTEBCROWBED It would appear that an attempt has been made to take care of more patients than the rooms or equipment justify. The highest number: of returned service men that have been accommodated there is 55. At present there are 53 patients. The government allows $4 per day for the care of each patient- ' About 200 returned service men have been cared for at the institution since the government first arranged for its use. Quite a number have been dis charged as having recovered suf ficently to go out on their own resources. . There have been several deaths, but, it was said, not more than the usual percentage in such situations. Open-air life, as far as practicable, and nourishing food, with the usual medical care provided in in stitutions of this character, is the basis on which patients are treated. , - 'Miss Willis stated that' while she has no authority to provide the menus, she does give orders for any special foods which she wishes served ; to patients In bed, and that frequently she orders that they have chicken, fresh fish or eggs in some special form. She frankly admitted that enlargement of the sanatorium equipment is highly desirable and that more adequate toilet and bathing fa cilities are urgent needs, but stated that these only depend on the acquirement of a more reliable water supply, for which plans have been made. . , j - By Robert 3.' Bender ' K ' . I (United Ptmb Buff Correspondent) y Chicago, July Conversations held with leaders of all the various interests involved In the attempt to launch a big constructive third, party movement In the country this year revealed that " the main - object is this; Y:;:;Uv. H-'v h ; - Amalgamate the elements weary and discouraged with the two major parties Into going concern, built upon a plat form foundation of constructive ideas and capable of growth, during the next' four years, such as will make it a major party in 1924. Restrict: the platform to sane end logical ideas and eliminate all "isms." , " v j BOTH PARTIES I LOSE ' , V r To this end J was surprised to find working in close! cooperation with the Forty-eighters and the American Labor ites some very Influential political ele ments in the country today. ' Many of these will I not support "the third party this year. 1 no matter what it does nor whom it nominates, but will assist it m getting under way and will furnish pos itive support during coming congression al elections. - Then, in the presidency campaign four years hence. If the new party shows bal ance and healthy: growth In the interim, they will be behind it actively. The support of these political inter ests, , temporarily of other hue, could hardly be said toi have a sinister design, such as to start something that would hurt one of the major parties Jn the fall elections, because' an analysis of the vote which would be drawn by a third party this year would Indicate that Democrats and Republicans would be about equally affected. -j VICTORY JfOT EXPECTED The Republicans would lose in some agricultural centers through the drain of the farmers organizations involved in the movement, i The Democrats would lose practically Tan equal number of votes in industrial quarters through the inroads of the American Labor party, which ia part. Of the new movement. And in all events, the most optimistic of the third party . leaders predict that this year the movement will poll scarce ly more than" S.000,000 or 4.000.000 votes. So. to get back to those political inter ests - involved ' in the movement here some of whom will support Harding and some Cox they declare their main ob jective Is to help to amalgamate a party of liberaiif ra which will fill a want they expect to develop within the next four years in American political life. PEICOUI.trX 2JEVEB 8T1I.1V ; They argue thusT to present a digest of talks I had with several of the fore most of them today: 'The country-today Is in a period of reaction from the high moral plana the nation reached in the war. ..This .trend back to conservatism was manifested both In the Republican and Democratic conventions.' but aa the (.pendulum has swung back how, so it - will swing for ward again during the next four years. When that 'time comes, there should be In ' the country ; some strong, tangible instrument that can be expected to fill the demands of the time. A. third party.. carefully "j developed now, nurtured through the next four years and emerg ing in 1924 a strong growing factor. in American j political life, could be made the means to the end sought." 'To keepi.it -om being merely a 1920 blowoff of political steam that will evaporate aftes the fall elections Is the purpose of those men of larger caliber who are working to amalgamate the con flicting elements here today. SPWT IS DAXCIEOrS ; They do not want a party like the Bull Mosej party of 1912, whicb, died with the defeat of Roosevelt and whose voice was scarcely heard and , completely Ig nored in the recent Republican conven tion here. 'The Roosevelt . mantle, to .those attempting to 1 wear it, proved to be a shroud, i They do not want a party bull t' around a f single , man. ; They are alter a party built on ideals that will command support regardless of the leader.- And for that reason they are not concerned! at the unfavorable "reaction among - a vast majority of the people to the expected nomination by the party of Senator JUa Follette. , .- ' - Whether this third party gets any where or not depends entirely upon the success of the leaders of the various elements involved to get together, both on a platform and a party name If they don't amalgamate and the farmer and labor groups nominate La Follette and the Committee of 48 nominates Henry Ford, it Is conceded that nothing will have been gained toward the main ob jective a strong third party in 1924. :-""-"-; ' ' ' For mineralogists a s machine has been invented that splits into longitudi nal halves the cores brought to the sur face by Cylindrical bits used in rock and earth drilling, one half for testing and the other for records. !T ale and . Comrades Are Turned Over to Federal Authorities Xeo Vale. Ben Nemeler and I. H. Murray, arrested Sunday morning in connection . with the alleged abduction of two Indian girls and the theft of a car, belonging to A. J.

According to . the statements of all the parties : Implicated, ., Murray had nothing to do with the thefts.

' , v : :- r Two Kinds of Dental EtMc UNDER old-style ethics, a dentist who .-. advertised was a . quack.

The new style is followed by Registered Dentists, who use the E. R. Parker System in their practice.
