What manner of treatment is
accorded wards of the Marion
county court who are committed
to the Salem Deaconess hospital?
Has Thelma Perry, one of the
charges who "did not have proper
parental care," been shown such
kindness by the sisters that she
does not wish to return to her
home?
Does Thelma Perry wish to re
main at the Deaconess hospital to
become a "graduate nurse" when
the Deaconess hospital offers no
such opportunity?
Women Tell Story.
Maybe. But listen to the stories
of two Salvation Army workers,
Mrs. Alice Kays of Salem and Mrs.
A. W. Hoyt of Portland, who once
labored at the Deaconess hospital
and who came to think much of the
Perry girl. The stories of Mrs.
Kays and Mrs. Hoyt are tpld sim
ply, without bitterness, at the re
quest of Thelma Perry's mother,
Mrs. H. Mowry, because Mrs. Kays
aid Mrs Hoyt felt that to do so
was "their duty as Christian wom
en." For two days, on or about March
1 last, Thelma Perry lay on her cot
in the Salem Deaconess hospital.
Blood welled out of her mouth,
stained her night dress, soiled her'
bed clothes. Pain resulting from !
complications which followed the
extraction of a tooth, several days
previous, caused Thelma restless
ly to stir on her cot.
Sisters I en ore Girl.
At no time during these two
days was Thelma given any atten
tion by the sisters, according to
sworn statements of Mrs. Kays and
Mrs. Hoyt who made affidavits to
that effect which are now in the
possession of The Capital Journal.
Those who visited her were hos
pital employes who slipped to her
room when they were off duty.
On the morning when Thelma
became ill she did not wish (to ap
pear at breakfast. She was sick.
Her mouth was breeding badly.
She wished to remain in her room.
But she was compelled by the
hospital officials, according to the
sworn statements of the Salvation
Army workers, to appear at break

AN AFFIDA VIT
STATE OF OREGON, County of Marion, ss:
I, Mrs. Alice Kays, being first duly sworn, do hereby depose
and say:
That I was a practical nurse at the Salem Deaconess hospital
on or about March 1, 1921, at which time I was, also, a member
of the Salvation Army; that I Was, through my work at the
hospital, thrown into close contact with one Thelma Perry,
then and now a ward of the Marion County Court, who was
committed to the care of Sister Marie Wedel, of the hospital,
by the Marion County Court.
That said Thelma Ferry was painfully 111 on or about
March 1, 1921, as a result of complications growing out of the
extraction of a tooth several days previous; that for two days
she was confined to her bed with the said illness; that during
the said two days the said Thelma Perry bled profusely from
the mouth and that during the said period of illness she was
grossly neglected by the sisters of the hospital; that such relief
and attention as was accorded her was provideded only by
employes of the hospital whose experience and training was
comparatively limited and who volunteered their assistance
after working hours and unbeknown to the sisters and others
in charge at the hospital. -
That, on the morning that said Thelma Perry was first
afflicted with said illness she was compelled by the hospital
official in charge to appear at breakfast against her will; that
she then was bleeding from the mouth, and that she wept
during the entire time she was compelled to sit and watch
the others eat.
That the said Thelma Perry has many timesxpressed to
me personally the dMire to return to her parents. Shd that she

within the hearing of the said sisters of the Deaconess hospital.
That I was dismissed from the employ of tho Deaconess hos
pital because of financial conditions which were said by hospital
officials to necessitate a reduction in the number of persons
employed by the hospital; and that I bear no malice toward
the sisters or officials in charge of the Deaconess hospital.
That I volunteered this statement to Mrs. H. Mowry, the
mother of said Thelma Perry, because I felt it my duty as a
Christian woman.

the best, perhaps. But they might
be worse. At least there was tnati
possibility.
One disclosure, damning to
Thelma, was made by Mrs Kays
and Mrs. Hoyt, and the bad must
be told with the rest. Thelma
used to break one of the rules.
Wiii'Tf the little girl's mother was
able to be about, Thelma used to
see her, occasionally, for a moment
on the streets. These secret meet
ings, which couldn't be arranged
very often, took place at some
point on Thelma'B way to and from
school, during those few minutes
during the day when such Irregu
larities were not guarded against.
Home Ties Broken.
It was then that Thelma heard
about her home and her baby sis
ters. Onexof the twins, it appear'
ed, was about to cut a" couple or
three teeth. Anyway those were
the indications. Her young bro
ther had stubbea his toe and had
bumped his head in the fall which Cambridge, Mass., Oct. 29.

Fears to Ask Release.
According to Mrs. Hoyt and Mrs.

feared the consequences which
might follow her announcement to
the sisters that she was dissatis

might be at the hospital tor some
time to come. Conditions weren't

Says Violators Will
Forfeit All Rights to
Protection
Chicago, Oct. 29. The
United States railroad labor
labor board today, in effect,
forbade railroad union Labor
from striking without the
board's permission, and de
clared that all strikers who
violated the order would be
classed as outlaws who had
voluntarily removed them
selves from the protection of
the transportation act.
The labor board issued its de
cision in the hearing held Wednes
day to determine the responsibil
ity for the general strike threat
ened by the big four brotherbooda
and the switchmen's union.
The board made three findings.
These were:
First That all anch disputes
must be referred to the board be
fore any action is taken.
Second That any Interruption
ot traffic would be a blow aimed
at the peace, prosperity and safety
ot the entire nation.
Third That any union going
ut on strike will forfeit it right
and the rights of its members in
all existing contracts and lose all
benefits accorded by the transpor
tation act.
