The employment of "economic patent medicines" as cure for the high cost of living'was attacked by Mr. Hoover in his testimony before the legislative committee. He said what was re quired was a definite coordination of policies of readjustment and a policy of seeking a remedy through studying conditions under the surface of things. In amplifying opening statement Mr. Hoover declared there could be no question that the remedy lay in the reduction of credits and inflation and in vigorous regulation by the govern ment.

Me Kelvie, serving a two-year term at Oakland convict camp in Fulton Coun ty, was set upon and beaten into un consciousness today by other prisoners who objected to McKelvie's statement that he had been well treated at the camp, according to reports tonight from the wardens. -The affair had its beginning in communications to the newspapers from Dick Jester, a notorious pris oner at the canj, that he had been given more lashes than the rules pro vide and had been kicked and other wise mistreated by guards. Local newspapers sent reporters to the camp who obtained statements from both sides, McKelvie being one of the prisoners who said he was well treated and had no complaint to make. At Ithe camp today it was said Walter Strickland and other prisoners read 4cKelvie's statement in the nawspa per this morning and immediately leaped upon him. The Atlanta Humane Society has recently been making efforts to abol ish whipping in convict c.amps of the county, and through it Jester made a number of charges as to food, sani tary conditions and punishment, which have been denied by those in charge. -- -o QUANTITY MORPHINE Tampa, FIa., May 24.-Filling five small auto tire inner tubes, morphine worth thousands of dollars was seized by Federal officers here this after noon, after the package, which came here by boat from Cuba. had been called and receipted for as "bees vax" by a man who signed his name as "John Smith."
