that the government had lost' large
sums of money in tfe process of re-
deming war loan funds were made to-
day by Chas. .C. Brewer, special. in-
vestigator of the House Committee in-
vestignting the Bureau of Engraving
mid Printing at a hearing of the com-
mittee. Treasury reprenentntives at-
tending the hearing promptly denied
the allegations.
Brewer charged the government had
paid $23,000,000 above the vernge
price for bonds purchased by the War
Finance Corporation through the Fed-
eral Reserve Banks for the sinking
fund of the Treasury Department. He
also charged that the War Pina new
Corporation sold Liberty Bonds to the
Treasury Department nt a higher priee
than it sold them on the open market.
Eugene Meyer Jr., managing di-
rector of the War Finance Corporation,
deelnred that bonds were bought for
the sinking fund both nbove and be-
low the market priee and that the av-
erage price, interest considered, was
not above par. He denied that tha
sale of bonds by the corporation on
the market and tended to keep dowa
the price of the bonds.

(By Associated Press)
BARNESVILLE, Minn., Oct.
25.—H. T. Opsahl, science in-
structor iu the Barnesville High
School, who was charged with
punishing his pupils by use of
an electric chair, was’ freed of a
charge of assault and battery in
the second degree in justice
court here, when the State’s
attorney asked the case be dis-
.missed
Opahl was arrested Saturday
on a complaint sworn out by Fred
Tennesson, who charged that his
son had been severely burned
when forced to undergo the
“electric ehair” treatment.
The instructor maintalned that
he used the apparatus, an ordinary
chair, equipped with wires, mere-
ly to frighten sh pupils and that
the charge carried was not dan-
gerous.
The court based its action for
discharging the case on the
grounds that the boy, whose
father brought the complaint,
Weyer declared that he had been dele-
gated by Secretary McAdoo to handle
the purchase of bonds and that he not
only did not receive any commissionm
but that he did this work without eom-
pensation, spent from $60,000 to $75,
000 of his own money in earrying out
the work. The commissions on the
books, he declared, were the minimum
commissions charged by brokers who
aetually purchased the bonds on the
exehange.
The investigator charged the govern-
ment had lost $60,000,000 by the pur-
. chase of the Preferential Bonds by
