The New Law for the Commitment of
Lunatics.
The Evening Star:

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
A serious objection to the new act for
the commitment of lunatics is that it de-
clares that the question OF insanity shall be
determined by the judge holding the Or
phans' Court and not by jury, and, by de-
nying the inquisition by jury, deprives the
people of the District of constitutional
guaranty.
By turning to the laws of the several
states which are collected together in the
appendix Of the second volume of work
entitled "A System OF Legal Medicine"
by Allan McClane Hamilton, NJ. D., and
others, 1t will be found that the law of
nearly every state regulating the COM
rnitment OF lunatics requires that the ex-
animation into the condition of the alleged
lunatic's mind shall be made by some one
or more judicial or administrative officers
only, generally a probate judge.
II the lunatic is entitled to an inquisi-
ti0n by jury before being taken to a hos
pital. why have not those afflicted with
leprOsy, smallpox or yellow fever the same
right?
1t is apparent, therefore, that the people
of a great majority of the states, living
under substantially, If not precisely, the
same guaranty as TO trial by jury as the
people of this District, have not yet realiz-
ed that their laws for the commitment of
IUnatics deprive this unfortunate class of
the protection of a bulwark of personal
liberty. PROGRESS

MAYOR REFUSES TO RESIGN.
His Physician Says he is in no Condition
to Cope With His Troubles.

Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 10.-Mayor Wood
ward whose resignation was asked Tor
by the city council has declined to re-
linquish his office.
Councilman Thomson called to see the
Mayor yesterday at the request OF a
member of Mr.. WOodward's family. He
suggested that Mayor Woodward place
his resignation i'll the hands of the city
council to become effective when and
only when the Mayor hard taken another
drink. Colonel Thomson told the Mayor
the council would probably overlook all
that nad occurred if he would adopt this
suggestion.
After thinking the matter over all night
and after hearing from a council COM
mittee this morning, Mayor Woodward
refused to make Il conditional resigna-
tion.
Inc city council met this evening. At
ter a long and exciting wrangle, III which
DIR. Roy, who is councilman from the
sixth ward, and who is also Mayor
Woodward's family physician, stated
that the Mayor was in no condition mem
tally to cope with his present troubles,
the council decided that a committee
of five should investigate the conduct of
the Mayor and any other city officials
against whom charges are made.
This committee under the terms Of its
creation, cannot begin work before next
Monday.

JApAN's TOBACCO BUYERS.
Government Monopoly Won't Effect
Trade With This Country.

Washington, August I0.-Minister
Buck has reported to the State Depart
ment that the japanese Government has
concluded arrangements for the purchase
of tobacco through agents, and will OBJ
tain supplies generally from the United
States. The result follows inquiries set
on foot after conferences between Sec
retary Hay and SOME members of the
Virginia delegation in Congress, includ-
ing Senator Martin and Representative
Swanson. The latter were desirous of
having the tobacco interests protected
against any discrimination which
might follow the organization of a Gov
ernmept monopoly OF the tobacco busi-
ness. Japan has recently established
this monopoly as means of increasing
her revenues, and the American tobacco
interests have feared this might cut off
the trade they have heretofore enjoyed
with THAT country. Minister Bucks
report seems to assure the continuance
of the trade. as the Government agents
will purchase supplies as heretofore in
this country.

Wrangel, Alaska, Aug. 6.-Via Seattle,
Washington, Aug. 10-Ine Stickeen Riy-
er steamer Strathcona, arrived here tor
day with thirty survivors of the E,lmon-
ton Trail. They are Western men, ex-
cept about ten. All these came in with
the pack train sent out from Telegraph
Greek and I4aketon by ,le various trad
ing companies last spring.
The unfortunates tell heartrending sto-
ries of hardships endured and comrades
lost and abandoned, and strongly de
nounce the trading and transportation
companies as well as the Canadian Off
cials and newspapers That so profusely
advertised this route as a feasible ONE
to the Klondike gold fields.
To outward appearances these men
certainly give evidence of the awful suf-
fering undergone since leaving EdmOq-
ton eightneen months ago. Most of them
are sickly looking, with unkempt boards
and greasy clothes pictures of physical
and financiakxYgecks. Several have grown
gray, a6d lebfks Of scurvy.
A few .Aaye just enough money to
reach Se;$fae e6rs Victoria, but the ma
jority are without funds.
1ne citizens of Wrangel have applied
to tho United States Governmen at
Washington, hut up to this time no aid
had been received
1t is admitted that there are more
than 100 men scattered along the trail
between Laird Post and the Pelly Banks,
and relief parties haye been sent ont by
the Hudson Bay Company.
The last reports brought Laird Post
were that many were dying of scurvy
and munger 1t is estimated that there
are thirty or forty sufferers at Telegraph
Greek awaiting the next trip of the boat.
The sick that had to be carried on
stretchers had not vet reached Glenora
when the Strathcona sailed.
Several starvation cases are reported.
About twenty miles above Devils Port
age, two unknown men were found froz-
en- to death last winter. A man named
Johnson, from New York, was found
dead in tent near this source of the

A SOUL STIRRING RACE.
Won by the Old Defender if Time Allow
ance Was Given.

Vineyard Haven, Mass, Aug 10.The
old Defender practically Won Il race
against Columbia today If time allow
ance was given. in the dirtiest sort OF
weather for yacht club cruise. But the
victory, Il must be admitted, was more
than we.i-carned, and the yachtsmen of
the New York Club and their guests
never saw before, and may not see again
for years, such sailing event. The
margin between the famous sloops was
IA seconds over n minute in the thirty
seven miles run from Brenton's Reef
Light ship off Newport, TO the West Chop
Buoy III Vineyard Sound, with a change
IN course at Vineyard Sound Lightship,
tn miles from the start The race be-
tween Columbia and Defender was fair
ly sou-tirring.
After both got away over the starting
line it was nip and RICK with eased
sheets, for almost an hoar, Defender
just a hairs breadth, comparatively
speaking. in the lead, with Columbia
abean. Even after Columbia made a
gain so that Defender could cross under
her stern. Columbia did not walk away
as the heavy breeze hove the latter doS y
and made Der lose distance on repeated
luffs.
Today's race and the performance OF
Columbia was satisfactory on the score
Of heavy weather. She took all that
came and while eased up several times
that was no evidence that she would
have had too much of a good thing if a
stake were pending on the outcome OF
Of the race.

The END OF THE EPIDEMIC
NEWf orr NLWS RAISES THE QUARAN ZINE
AGAINST HAMP ION,
Norfolk viii Raise Quarantine Against ew.
pJrt News, Hampton and Old Point
Saturday Afternoon.

Newport News, Va, Aug. 10.The yel-
low fever epidemic is practically at an
end. The quarantine established by this
city against Hampton and vicinity was
raised tonight, following a conference
between the health boards OF Newport
News, Richmond, Norfolk and Hampton,
with the State Board elf Health and rem
resentalives of the Marine Hospllui 5..-
vice. The local quarantine against Nor
folk remains in force, but Will be raised
Saturday evening.
The record of the scourge to this date
shows a total OF 43 eases of which ele-
ven resulted fatally. Twelve cases were
discharged as cured and twenty GONZALES
cents remain in hospital Mt the Soldiers
Home.
An interesting episode of the dread
malady was the uprising OF the busincss
men of the city against Norfolk, be-
cause of the quarantine Of that city
against Newport News, which was re-
garded as premature and unnecessary.
The action Of the Norfolk Health au-
thorities was denounced ut a public
meeting and the majority Of the business
men pledged themselves to transfer their
patronage to Richmond providing the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railway would
grant satisfactory rates.
NORFOLK RAISES QUARANl
Norfolk, Va, Aug 10--Norfolk will
raise the quarantine against Newport
News, Hampton and Old Point Saturday
afternoon at six O'clock, and Newport
News has been accorded the privilege
of doing so earlier if such action is de-
sired
The conference at Newport News to-
day between the health authorities and
transportation men OF Norfolk, Ports
mouth and that town reached this deter
mination.
The. quarantine against Phoebus and
the Soldiers Home will be maintained
perhaps ten days longer.
