STATE UNACY VIEW CLOTHES RULE
Justice MncLean Thinks This Tax Levy
on the City Unrensonnble.

With insane Joseph y. O'Donohue in his dis
infected clothes as an exhibit, the Commission
ers OF Charities moved before Justice MacLean
Of the Supreme Court yesterday for a man
damus to compel Superintendent A. Z. Mac
donald OF the Manhattan State Hospital on
Wards Island to receive him without new
suit of clothes as a State patient, under the re-
cent law by which the State takes the care Of
the city insane. O'Donohue wore q black serge
suit, a little shiny IN places, but not ragged. He
wore clean linen and q necktie. and his clothes
would not have attracted attention had the
counsel not referred to them.
ODonohue one of eight patients sent from
Bellevue to Wards Island on Monday. but Su-
perintcndent Macdonald would not receive them
because they did not have new SUITS rs provided
for by a rulo OF the State Board of Lunacy.
made to prevent contagious diseases getting
among State patients. Assistant District At
torney George Sterling. in behalf Of the Charity
Commission. said that when O'Donohue was
committed to Bellevue on Feb. 81 last from q
Police Court his clothing was disnfected and
there was no possibility Of contagion from
him. several at,idayits were presented by
DDS to prevent disease used at bellevue as
we'll as the efficiency Of its staff, It was
em Examined sir the pavilion a. Beievne. @ Of whom
1855 were sent to Wards Island: DR.. Benedict
Gy Il
OF lo5' Fahrenheit. The process. he said. killed
all germs Of disease. He said it would probably
cost from $40 900 to $4,000 a year to the city
to turn the patients over to the State in new
clothes. Suits for the men would cost about
$lS for summer and about S2S for winter. and
those for the women would run from SIT to $50.
and the Charity Commission has no money to
provide the clothing.
Deputy Attorney General Clarence ]. Francis
in opposition said that the writ was virtually to
compel Superintendent Macdonald to violate
the law by disobey ying the rule and that the rule
could not be declared void; because i was q
matter in the discretion of the State Board of
Lunacy. He presented an affidavit of Superin-
tendent Macdonald who said that they have
about 1000 patients and are crowded. The pa
tients are of both sexes He said that unless tho
rule was enforced against the lower type OF pa
tients there was danger OF the spread Of disease.
Justice Mac Lean said:
lam inclined to think tho rule is unreason-
able. The disinfection of clothing at Bellevue
seems to be complete. l understand that at the
Wayfayers' Lodge they disinfect clothing with
out trouble. and no doubt they can do the same
at Bellevue"
The poin. was raised that the State Board OF
Lunacy should have been made party to the
proceeding. and tho Judge gave permission to
make them respondent Lawyer Sterling said
he could present an affidavit showing that the
rule had not been enforced in the case of some
Brooklyn patients. and he got permission to do
80. The case went over to Thursday.
