neral with a subject, but posted
off to the police station after an Of
ficer. Mr.. Perez, the mounted man,
arrested Davis.
Juan Abrigo and Helene Cas-
tillo, two Mexican youths, who

said Mr Mcmahon.
There were different grades for the patients

There DR.. Dent"
"Oh, His was the highest grade of ALL sup
posc?"
Yes"
FOR DR.. DENT. But NOT FOR PATIENTS
The witness said that there was nice kitchen
garden on the island. which was tended by male
patients, and the products Of which went to DR..
Dents table. The patients did not get any
vegetables, except potatoes which looked black
when served, and very rarely a little cabbage. In
consequence Of the lack Of veg abics scurvy is
very prevalent among the patients. Nhen ap-
proeched on this subject DR.. Dent said that they
could not have any vegetables, and instructed
the attendants to spO0n-feed those scurvN pa
tents who refused to eat. In addition TO scurvy
the witness said that the poor feeding or the
patients was manifested IN other ways. especially
during the grip epidemic Of 1898 when large
numbers of them died from pneumonia ana other
causes result OF their lack of vitality. on
one occasion DR.. Cheney, member or the medl-
cal staff had said:
whats the use Of being a physician when
you can't do anything TO help them?
Some Interesting testimony was given In regard
to unusual ingredients sometimes forming part
OF the diet.
Ever find stockings. or anything OF that
knd?" queried Judge Mcmahon.
The Commissioners looked amazed. The Wit
ness. struggling - repress her smiles. told how
on one occasion n stocking was found in the tea.
THE patients became excited" she added,
navelv. Everybody roared with laughter. and
II was with the greatest difficulty that the wit
ness. who enjoyed the joke as much as any
body, went on 20 tell how the patients mani
tested their displeasure at being served with an
infusion OF stocking and tea At other times
pocket handkerchiefs and pieces Of soap had
been discovered In he tea The witness told
how certain patients whose duty 1t was to wash
the coffee bags had dipped them IN bathtub
full Of refuse and then wrung them out. after
which the bags were again used for making
coffee.
