The finances of the organization are
ir such splendid shape that it is no

ment. This will be welcome news to
TIE miners in the Massillon district,
WHO have been contributing regularly
to the support Of their striking fellow
workmen.

Massillon field, and especially those in
the vicinity of Akron, have always been
prompt in responding to the appeals

The Capacity Of the State
insane Asylums.
PLANS SUBMITTED
Which Will Give the State Fa-
ciiities for the Care Of 9, 900
Insane-$3o,ooo Annex
at Massillon.

From a STAFF Correspondent.
Columbus. Nov. 27.-The members
of the board of state charities and the
superintendents of state hospitals, to-
gether with Governor Nash and Audi
tor of State Guilbert were in confer
ence yesterday afternoon over the ques-
tion of caring for the insane and epi-
leptics now in county infirmaries, for
whom state care must be provided by
June 1, 1903. The following PROPOSE
ton submitted by a committee ap-
pointed at previous meeting was
unanimously recommended by the hos
pital superintendents and the members
of the board of state charities:
"At the Athens hospital, to provide at
oEce for a cottage for the chronic in
firm patients, 150 in number, at q
maximum per capita cost for construc-
ton of 100000. Also a cottage for the
acute insane to accommodate so pa
tents at a maximum per capita cost
for construction of $450.00.
"At the Cleveland hospital to pro
vide at once for a cottage for acute
cases, capacity so, at maximum per
capita cost for construction of $450.00
"At the Columbus hospital to- pro-
vide at once for cottage for the chron-
ic infrm cases to accommodate 15G
patients at a maximum per capita cost
for construction of $4,000.
ALSO at the Columbus hospital tc
provide at once for cottage for acute
cases to accommodate 80 patients, al
maximum per capita cost for con-
struction of S450.00.
AT the Dayton hospital, to provide
at once for cottage for the chronic
infirm and untidy cases, to accommodate
150 patients at a maximum per capita
cost for construction of 100000. Also
cottage for the acute insane to ac.
commodate 80 patients a a maximum
per capita cost for construction OF
$450.OO. -Ils r.,
AT the Massillon hospital to pro
vide cottages for $50 patents, to be
built during the next two years at d
cost of $35000 per capita.
"At the Toledo hospital, a new
wing on the hospital for women, and
the remodeling of old cottages, pro
viding an additional capacity for 100
at a maximum cost of $4,000"
These additions will! give the Athens
hospital actual accommodations for
1880, or register capacity of 1867;
Cleveland hospital actual accommoda-
tions for 1853, or register capacity o.
1898; Columbus hospital actual accom-
modations for 1880 or a register capaci.
ty of 1891; Massillon hospital actual
accommodations for 1870 or a registe,
capacity of 1866; Dayton hospital &c
tual accommodations for 1910 or reg
lister capacity of 1145; Toledo hospital
actual accommodations for 1887 or q
register capacity of 1905.
1t would give total number of beds
of 8,040. with register capacity 70.
S,607-both exclusive of the Longview
hospital. BY adding the present popu
lation at the Longview hospital to the
latter figure the state would have q
register capacity in the seven hospitals
OF 9,734. Such capacity will enable
the state to care for the normal in.
crease of insane for years to come, and
clear the way for the building of an in.
stitution for the criminal insane.

THE ADA'S LIGHTS
| PROPERLY PLACED

The little schooner Ada, which was
run into last week by the schooner
Blanche & Ella, arrived here yesterday
afternoon and her story OF the smash
up is materially different In important
matters from the story Of the Blanche
e. Ella. Where the captain Of the
latter vessel claimed that the Adas
lights were placed on the wrong side
thus causing the accident II Is claim
ed by the Ada's crew that the Blanche
e. Ella carried no lights at all. thus
leading the Ada into danger without
warning.
To disprove the statement of the
captain of the Blanche & Ella who
stated thatthe red light Of the Ada was
on the starboard side and that that
was the side she was struck on by the
Blanche & Ella the captain OF the Ada
shows the remains Of a green lamp
which was smashed by the collision
The red light which was on the oppo-
site side where It should have been
was uninjured,
Both captains are Arm In sticking ia
their first stories and the settlement
of the dispute as to responsibility for
the collision will probably he left ia
the courts.
The Ada is badly damaged and |,
will cost several hundred dollars to
put her in good condition again.
