records and registration of their insane In q
central bureau. Indiana has begun the system
OF the registration of its insane both in state
hospitals and in county asylums, keeping a
card catalogue of oil its insane with such gen.
eral data as will present an outline picture OF
the case. Monthly reports are received OF
commitments, discharges, paroles and deaths,
while immediate notification Is given the SEQ
rotary of the state board on the death OF any
patient.
2. Little ia done with regard TO the regstrs-
ton OF the other detectives.
3. Still less regards the registration
OF the dependent This 10 not strange. The
superintendents OF county asyums can
rarely be depended upon to report regularly
the inmates Of their asylums. The population
is shifting. And yet, something has been done |;
and. so far as Indiana is concerned, most OF its
county superintendents have reported the
names OF the inmates of the asylums.
4. As regards the registration OF those
In receipt of outdoor relief. This, of course,
will be the most difficult OF all to secure. The
unwillingness TO register the very large num-
Der Of township trustees or overseers OF the
poor, make IL difficult 10 secure valuable re-
ports. And yet, when il Is realized that in the
states OF Ohio and Indiana alone nearly one
million dollars Is expended In the relief OF the
outdoor poor. the importance Of some careful
supervision and registration viii be at once
seen.

port then gives statistics from as many states
as they were obtainable OF the number and cost
OF maintenance OF the insane, poor, children,
prisoners md immigrants, and the legislation
concerns the defective. Under the head of
miscellaneous among other things 1t is noted
that the late diamond Joe" Reynolds who re-.
gently died in Arizona left that territory $l0,-
OOO0)0 for chHrita lie purposes. Concerning
the Indian Territory IL says: The idea OF an
Indian state has taken hold Of the people. In
no other way will it be possible to prevent the
final extinction of the race and the speedy loss
OF the lands now owned by civilized tribes.
With proper safeguards, an Indian state would
be disadvantage to the union, while it
would be more in keeping with civilization and
humanity than the present system, which leaves
the Indian helpless"
After this statistical report was con-
cluded, a number of the members were
allowed to give, in a five minute talks
a summary of the work in their state, if
not mentioned in the report, or else
observations on particular branches Of
work. DIR. Jennie McCaughan of Iowa
referred 10 woman's department which
had been opened at the state prison.
There are three insane hospitals in the
state but no statistics as to the mum Der
and cost of dependents are gathered. No
state board OF charities exists. A few
private institutions for the care of orphans
and others have been founded and are
we'll maintained.
Rabbi J. j. Leught, president of the
commission on prisons and asylums in
New Orleans, gave a description of chart
ties in that city, where there is no state
aid at all, and where the care of the insane
is wretched During one weak he found
nineteen insane people in warehouses,

reported. The number of states reporting,
however, 10 much larger than last year. The
great lack OF uniformity in the reports renders
them useless for making very reliable aggre-
gate statistical showings or companions OF any
value or particular interest. But perhaps this
fact may give value 10 the reports that they
bring TO our notice and EN- phssize most strongly
this: That there is little il any uniformity in
our several states in the care OF their defective,
poor and criminal population and that there s
great indifference in obtaining statistics regard
ing the number aud cost OF maintaining such
classes. If this uniformity is desirable the first
work OF this conference should be to set in
motion some plan to be adopted by the differ
ent states whereby uniform statistics, covering
the information desired, shall be reported at
the respective state capitals.
The committee has grouped the information
received, showing by states. under itemized
heads, the information obtained. Fourteen
states, including the District Of Columbia, OF
population OF 20.O00O00. have failed 10 report.
Six states and territories, with population OF

this happened in five or six years.
He was very affectionate toward his little
children, whose names were Frank, Josie
and Sesse. There was nothing bad in the
man. l was strikingly and remarkably
fond of Frank, when he took 1t into his
head to get insane. He would not answer
any questions, but of his insanity there
was no doubt He was well enough phys
ically but there were reasons why the
authorities should be called to study his
case. The result was that hewas brought
here to the city and placed in the asylum"
MIR. Riley then related the story as 1t
was told to him by Dutch Frank after his
return from the asylum, splendidly imi-
tating the dialect OF the old man. He told
how Dutch Frank imagined he had re-
Ceiyed a warning one night that If he
spoke to any one he would be killed; the
surprise experienced by his family at his
continued silence and the growing sus-
picion OF his unsound mental condition,
which finally resulted in his being sent to
the asylum. Then he pictured the old
man in the asylum for fifteen long
years, feeling that he must speak yet
fearing that he would be killed il he did.
Finally his family, now poor, came to
visit him and his youngest daughter, who
had grown to be young lady, took him
for a walk when the old man, throwing
away all caution, spoke to the girl and re-
ceiving no injury happily recovered from
his hallucination.
