ulists Were Silent.
The bill that provided for reorgani-
zation of the penitentiary and the bill
that codities the insanity laws of the
State were all that disturbed the placid
hum-drum of the Senate yesterday.
The latter bill especially called up some
perplexing questions.
The latter bill provides for setting apart
one building at the penitentiary for the
keeping of the insane who show suicidal
or homicdal tendencies. The bill was
reported favorably from the committee,
but when it came UP for action in the
Senate Senator Daniels raised objection
to the clause that provides for the re-
moval of insane persons from one of
the asylums to the penitentiary, even
though he might have homicidal mania.
He thought it would bring with it un-
warranted odium.
Senator Green explained that it was
proposed to cut off that building entirely
from the penitentiary. Senator Brown
asked if the building was to be under
the same management as the peniten-
tiary. He was in favor of a different
management. Senator Daniels sent up
an amendment to that effect Senator
Hicks objected to confining those who
develop homicidal tendencies after be-
coming insane in the same building
with those who became insane after be-
ing sent to the penitentiary. n number
of amendments We're sent mp and on mo-
ton of Senator Fields were ordered
printed and the bill went over. 1t was
brought out that it would cost some
100000 to erect Il separate building for
the care of the dangerous insane, while
the building at the penitentiary, which
is an excellent one, can be prepared for
them at cost of only about $1,000. 1t
was suggested that the building could
be smade department of the asylum
here. and its connection with the peni
tentiary severed.
When the bill to reOrganize and in
corporate the penitentiary came over
from the House the rules were suspend
ed and the bill put upon its immediate
passage. Senator Mcintyre called for
the ayes" and noes to put the mem
bers on record. The vote resulted.
