Mr. Sandstrom last night, however, dented that he was the orlrlnnl complainant, but that August Carlson who died midsummer from cnncer, vfa the complainant. The tate police records, however glvo Sandstrom as the original complainant.

August Carlson, who died at the age of sixty-three years was another patient ot Mr. Justlnlus, parishioners said. Carlson, after submitting to Mr. Justlnlus' treatments for many months. died of cancer.

The state police charge Justlnlus with selling olive oil to his patients at and S3 5 a gallon, which the patients were to use In their baths, syrupt at nine dollars per gallon, and certaUi powders.

Justlnlus after examining the eyes ot bis patient, took the patient into his omce, which he maintained on tbe second floor of his home, and asked them to strip. He then applied the Swedish massage.

Rev. Mr. Justlnlus last night declared that he had been a Swedish masseur for some 13 years, and that to many members of the congregation he gave his services free of charge. In this he was supported by Mrs. Sandstrom, although she added that he charged all his patients for the medicinal preparations which he sold them.

Rev. Mr. Justinlus is a regularly ordained minister, holding a B. A. degree from the Baptist college, Stockholm, Sweden, a diploma for the Kelberg Institute of Medical Gymnastics.

Stockholm. and from the New Jersey College of Natureopathy, according to his statement. He learned the art of Swedish massage while attending the Baptist college. It la customary In Sweden, for men preparing for the ministry to take a course In medical gymnastics, he said. Tell; Of His Arrest Telling the story of his arrest, Rev.

Mr. Justlnlus declared, "this tall thin fellow came to my house Thursday aft ernoon and said that he had rheumatism in right arm and that he couldn't pick up plates. I gave him a i treatment and told him what to do he got home. He pressed me to prescribe some medicine for him, so I told him to get a bottle of Vaporub. I "As soon as I told him about the Vaporlb.

he showed me his badge and I arrested me He didn't even allow me to telephone my friends, and In the i meantime the other patients left the 1 house. He took me to the Third pre- I clnct headquarters, and I was released I within a half hour. "I couldn't tell that he was a po llceman and I didn't know that he was faking, because tbt disease he was supposed to have Is due to the nerves and one can't tell from examining the wre arm. 'I do not wish to break any law, and I am not breaking any, but tho State police have It in for me and I think that they're out to get me." "Every member of the congreHutlon is behind me, and my troubles would be over, If I could learn who IH behind this persecution." rhurKfS Discrimination. Rev.

Mr. Justlnlus who Is In his early fortys, married and the father of two children, declared that the Connecticut Natureopathy board was discriminating against him. He was backed tip In this statement by his attorneys, Samuel Reich and Jacob Nelson. "The natureopalhy profession In Connecticut appears to be a closed corporation." 1 declared Attorney Reich. 'They won't give Mr.

Justlnlus a license, and neither will they give one to anjboclj else. This board of which Frank B. Smith of this city Is the secretary and treasurer, has not held an examination for admittance to iracttce natureeopathy since it was 'ounded In 11)23, and it has not admitted anyone to practice in this state, during the same period also." Both the state police and the Board of Natureopathy are discriminating against Rev. Justlnlus, stated Nelson. "They have It within their province to grant him a license, but refuse to do so." In discussing his plans for Rev.

Mr. Tustlnlim' defense, Attorney Reich declared, "It's up to them to prove the case. We maintain that Rev. Mr, Jus- Is a legal Swedish masseur and has not violated the law in any man- ler whatsoever. There is also a legal question of their method of procuring tlie evidence.

The specific charge against him Is that lie violated the slate laws of 1923 relating to Nature- opathy." Dr. Frank B. Smith secretary-trea- iurer of the Natureopathy board, last disclaimed all responsibility for itev. JiiBtlmiH' arrest. He declared that Rev.

Mr. Justlnlus was refused a license ast July because he could not meet the educational requirements. "In this state." declared Dr. Smith, 'a natureopath must be a graduate ol an approved high school and must takt; four-year course at an approved school of natureopathy. We do not recognize the schools which Rev.

Justln- us has attended in Sweden. We only recognize the Ling school In that country." claim Diplomas Are Fakes. The reference to the diplomas which Rev. Mr. Justlnlus holds from various schools in this country and Europe, it Is claimed by members of his congre- are "fakes." The state police, it Is said, are in possession of evidence proving that the diploma he holds from he Bllz school, Germany, was not granted to him by the officials of that school.

All of Rev. Mr. Justlnlus' diplomas and degrees have been translated from Swedish and German Into English by Jacob Nelson and have been attested by him also, as he Is a notary public. Arrest Was Routine Dr. Osborne.

Justlnlus, replied that no one had complained, but that the arrest was due to the "workings of his office and was merely a matter of routine." "When Rev. Justlnlus was released ast summer," declared Dr. Osborne "I marked It on my Februarj- 1928.

Justlnlus was let off ast summer on his promise to take a natureopath examination, but I understand that he couldn't meet the educational requirements.

The letter signalled the beginning of a sharp contest for the Ohio delegation to the Republican national convention.

Since the Hoover campaign will lace the already indicated opposition of Senator Willis. Republican, Ohio, another announced candidate. Anticipating thin, the Hoover loreTM have tent Into Ohio Walter F. Brown of Toledo, now assistant secretary of commerce, who carries the credentials of his chief and will aid the Ohio organization In naming the delegate which will be put before the slate's voters. The secretary's statement was regarded by his friends aa sanctioning also the setting up of tentative organizations In other states, though his lenders In Washington were not willing to announce their attitude toward other state primary contests ut the moment.

The Ohio situation was regarded ns nn emergency, because the law enforces the necessity upon candidates of approving delegate nominees personally and before February 24. Since President Coolldge's declaration last August that he did not "chooso to run," Secretary entrance Into the race has been confidently predicted In all political circlet). Senator Willis was a much earlier candidate, and the field has been added to by Senators Curtis of Kansas, the Republican leader, and Watson of Indiana. Former Governor Lowden of Illinois, while his announcement has been withheld, ban been made the object of a delegate campaign In several utates besides his own. That Secretary Hoover was prepared to meet all the requirements of A campaign short of a speech-making tour has been understood by all of his supporters who participated in the discussions leading to his decision to rater the Ohio primaries.

One of these probably will Induce htm next weok to make a public reply to the public queries addressed by Senator Boiah, Republican, Idaho, to all presidential aspirants, which seek to five definitely their views on prohibition. The approaching primary elections In a number of states besides Ohio likewise will engage the attention of Hoover's supporters, although In at least one state, Illinois, there will be no primary campaign made In his behalf. A decision to remain out of the Indiana, contest aloo la predicted. Ohio To lest His Htrenxth. Ohio, however, furnishes a real test of Hoover's strength.

Capital politicians believe the outcome of the primaries In the Buckeye state on April 24 will triumph or disaster for Hoover's campaign. If he can carry a. substantial number of Ohio delegates, the resvilt will be regarded ns a Hoover victory. Hoover will enter Ohio In the face of a belligerent challenge from Willis. The Ohio senator, wno regards himself as the state's favorite son, defied Hoover to enter the primaries and warned him that If he did It would be "no kid glove or powder'puff affair." Already Willis had laid the groundwork for a vicious campaign against Hoover.

In his speech at Dtlca, N. last night, without mentioning Hoover's name, Willis pointedly referred to the advocacy of the League of Notions and the- World Court by the secretary of Commerce. Willis himself was forced to apologize for his World Court vote, but that Issue Is likely to figure largely In the Ohio primary. The Issue has been accentuated by Senator Qlllett of Massachusetts, unwittingly, no doubt. For on tha heels of Olllett's endorsement of Hoover for president, he offered a resolution In the Senate urging President Coolldge to reopen negotiations for ratification of the League court by the United States.

Because of Hoover's vigorous advocacy of ths League of Nations and the World Court, without reservation five, the very one which caused European powers to reject American ratification, Hoover's opponents are charging that he Inspired the Olllatt resolution. Democrats to Get Ohio, Is Fear COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. Associated Press.) One of tha most bitterly presidential primaries In Ohio's hlsiory was predicted by two Republican faction tonight after Secretary Herbert Hoover's announcement in Washington that he will permit hie name to be entered In the Ohio primary In opposition to United States Senator Frank B. Willis. Charles A.

Jones, secretary to Willis, said that Col. Carmt A. Thompson, the senator's campaign manager, would be here tomorrow for a conference. Triad H. Brown, of the Ohio-Hoover committee, will speed up his plans for gathering the support of Republicans not immovably In accord with the State Central commltee's endorsement of Willis.

Cincinnati, a Hoover stronghold, reacted to the announcement with plans for a county cub to boost the secretary's candidacy. Fred W. Warner, chairman of the State Central committee, received his warning that the Hoover movement will "disrupt the party" and deliver the state into the hads of the Demo data nest fall. He charged that politicians, handling Hoover's campaign "will go through the state promising all the appointments possible to swing votes to the secretary." "The only result can be disruption of the party," ha said. The Hoover entry means that 102 Ohio candidates for delegates and alternates to the national Republican convention will have the personal approval of tha secretary to represent him.

Senator Willis had not read Mr Hoover's letter, but he authorized tha following statement: "Personally I am in no fear of the results. The people of Ohio know about my Republicanism.
