REFUGE FOR INEBRIATES
Congressional Action Will Be Urged
by Prominent Citizens.
Victims. of Alcoholism Sent Down
as Migrants When They Should
Receive Medical Treatment.

Judge Kimballis going to urge during the
| present session of Congress the passage OF
| a bill for the establishments in the District
of an asylum for inebriates. Scarcely q
day passes in the police court over which
he presides that one or more object lessons
are not presented to him, illustrating in
a most emphatic manner the necessity for
such an institution here.
Men, palsied by drink shivering, bloat-
ed creatures, in motion as though they
were set on wire springs, the result of a
protracted debauch or periodical spree, are
arraigned under the vagrancy law. They
are sent to the werkhouse because there is
no other place TO send them. They receive
practically no treatment there, and after
serving fifteen, thirty or sixty days-weary
days of longing for liquor-are turned out
TO resume their Incorporate habits and per-
chance be picked up after e few days of
freedom and sent down again.
There are hundreds of men in this city
known 30 the police as habituaI tIrunkards
whom Judge KiInball believes could be
saved and made useful citizens OF, if there
was well-conducted asylum for inebriates
here. There are others, he says, who can
never be cured of incompetence.
The bill for this purpose, which was
presented in the last Congress is worse
than useless, he thinks, because it con-
tains a three months limit; that is, an in
ebriate could not under its provisions be
committed to the proposed asylum for a
longer period than ninety days. His honor
believes there should be no limit, but that
the experienced physicians in charge
should determine when the blight of al
cohol had been eradicated from the pa
TENTS system, and he was fit subject
to go out in the world to meet its trials
and temptations.
Judge Kimball is not alone in this fight
for the establishment of this proposed
Misunderstanding institution. Many cler-
men, lawyers and officials, and even some
of the victims of strong drink themselves
have promised to use their efforts toward
that end.
Sanitary Officer J. A Frank, who sees
as much Of the miserable and shady side
Of life as any man in this country, has
recommended the establishment of an in
ebriate asylum in the District in his an
nuai report for three years back Speak
ing on this subject, Mr.. Frank said:
1.-The Importance and necessity OF pro-
viding some retreat for the unfortunate
individual, whose love for strong drink
amounts to a disease seems TO me to be
self-urgent. ] believe the need of an
asylum or hospital for inebriates in this
District becomes more apparent every
year L hope in the near future we will
have here a properly equipped and well
conducted hospital for inebriates
1t is understood that bill for the
above purpose is now being prepared and
will soon be introduced in both houses.

TRIED TO STEAL A LITTLE BOY
A Drunken Negro Woman Proves
Herself Bold.

defSelI bOlU.
Carrie Carroll, colored, made a bold
attempt to kidnap the little siX-year-old
son of DR.. Adrian NJ. Kloczewski SatuT-
day night, but was apprehended and
locked up. The little fellow was play
ing in front of his fathers drug store,
at the corner of Ninth a1d f streets north
west, early in the evening, when the col
ored woman drove by with a horse and
carriage. She saw the little child, and
driving up to the curb, enticed bin to get
into the wagon on the pretenSe that she
wished to take him driving. The boy
anxious for ride, readily consented TO go
with her, and entered the carriage I'M
noticed by his parents or any of the en-
ployes of the drug store.
The woman then drove at high rate of
speed up Ninth street, and in her haste
narrowly escaped colliding with several
persons. She continued ito lash her horse
until she arrived at the corner of Ninth
and l streets, where her turnout ran into
another vehicle. Policeman Boyce. who
had been endeavoring to stop the woman
for fast driving, not having seen her
take in boy, here overlook her and placed
her under arrest. The child had by this
time become badly frightened and began
to cry to 60 home. He told the officers
that the woman was not his nurse, and as
soon as the little fellow was helped down
out of the wagon he ran back to his home
unframed.
His parents had net missed him and were
very much concerned upon learning the
news of his perilous adventure. The kid
naper was taken to No. 1 station and
locked up on the charge Of violating the
police regulations, DR. Kloczewski not ap-
pearing against her upon the more serious
charge.
In the police court today she was fined
SIS for disorderly conduct.

The Kopp Case Dismissed.

The charge Of carrying a dead body
through the streets, preferred against
Henry Kopp by Health Office inspector,
has been dismissed. This action also
clears Mr.. Kopp of the accusations of
chid-murder made against him some time
ago. 1t has also been shown that the
statement alleging that Mr. Kopp's mar
riage was compulsory was false, the per-
son who was charged with making it
having emphatically denied doing it.
