Bowman asks probe into barring of 17 year old Dougan
Morgantown Aug 9. Con FP L Bowman asked the war department’s chief of engineers to investigate barring 17 year old Loran Dougan from government property at Lock 10 on the Monongahela river and his separation from his parents. Dougan was excluded after charges of stealing property were filed by Col J J Bain Pittsburgh district director of locks. Dougan had lived near the lock but not on government property and was later advised by a physician to go home. Bowman argued Dougan had not been given written charges and denounced the action as inhuman. Taxes from malt sales in Louisiana amount to 150000 annually for the public school fund.
