BETTER CARE OF TIE INSANE.
Senator Allen Has a Plan That May
Solve the Problem.

A solution of the problem which the
state sanitarium, In its present over
crowded condition presents, is suggested
today by Senator John T. Alien, Of the
twentieth senatorial district, in which
the asylum is located. and he win intro
duce during the present session OF the
legislature a bill seeking to enbody his
idea into law.
Senator Aliens suggestion is. simply
stated that the criminally insane should
be sent to the prison farm, and there
made to work like other convicts.
In the report, which the trustees of the
asylum have just issued, complaint is
made that the criminally insane class has
increased in a startling ratio recently,
and that ,ley, the trustees, are compelled
to keep these with the other insane.
Senator Allen believes that not only
will his plan of removing this class to the
prison from the farm relieve the perplex-
ing condition which now obtains at the
asylum, but will operate to decrease the
number of pleas of insanity now entered
in the courts.

learned, says The Herald, that the indict-
ment against George c. Thomas. broker
for refusing to pay the stamp tax on sales

paying the tax in May and determined to
test the law An indictment was found
against him by the United States grand

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 5.-A member
Of the faculty OF the Moscow Imperial
Technical school recently discovered that
a microphone attached to an electric arc

Russian newspapers failed to state wheth-

able that this is to be assumed.
