Secretary of Board OF Chair
tiesPrepares Memorandum
of Persons Having No
Local Claim fol- Support.
Act Of Congress Provid-
ing. Means of Deportation
Places the Financial Drain
Where 1t Justly Belongs.

George S. Wilson, secretary to the
Board of Charities has prepared for the
District Commissioners a memorandum
of the work of the board in sending to
their homes INDECENT insane persons who
have become a charge upon the District
Mr.. Wilson states that the District is
burdened with a large number of insane
persons who have no legal residence
here. and who are not entitled 10 care
as public charges. When found within
the District they are committed to tie
Government Hospital for the Insane and
the cost of their maintenance falls upon
the District.
Mr.. Wilson calls attention to the act
of Congress approved January 81. 1899,
which authorizes the Commissioners TO
return INDECENT insane persons to their
places of residence or to their friends.
Mr.. Wilson explains that no appropria-
,ion was made for the purpose until the
fiscal year ended June 80, 1901, anddhat
the law in the meantime was inopera
tive. Since that time the appropriation
provided for the purpose has been used
at the discretion of the Board Of Chari-
ties in sending into the States and into
foreign countries insane persons who do
not belong here.
Removals Increasing.
Ten insane persons were returned to
their homes in the fiscal year ended
June so. 1901 In the past year thirty
three such persons were sent to their !
homes or delivered to the public author
tiles elsewhere. In the three months
ended with September, twenty three in
sane persons have been sent out of the
District Mr. Wilson says of the ex-
pense of these persons:
THE District is charged at the rate !
OF $500 per annum for each person SO
confined in the Government Hospital for |
the Insane, SO that the thirty-three per-
sons returned during the last fiscal year,
represented saving of $3.50 in single
year. Most of these people would have
stayed in the institution for many years,
and of course the saving annually would
be 1920 per capita until the patient
should either die or be discharged.
There are still in the asylum more
than one hundred nonresident patients
charged TO the District of Columbia. and
many Of these can probably not be re-
turned to their homes. because it is i'm
possible TO find any place in which they
have legal residence.
In Asylum for Years.
Many Of them have been in the asylum
for periods varying from ten to twenty
five years, owing to the fact that until |.
1899 no provision was made by Congress
for disposing of such cases, and it is
practically hopeless to expect that many
of them can be returned TO their homes
after the lapse of such a period
THE Board of Charities. however. has
succeeded in locating and returning to
the places of their former residence sew
eral persons who have been confined for
periods varying from seven to twelve
years. There is much better chance
OF getting information concerning per-
son who has recently been committed, and

FRAUD is IMPUTED.
oto Paper Says Failed Bankers Con-
duct Was Questionable.

OuCC WdS 0ueSIIOItdOiSs
Sioux City, Oct. 17-The Otto Leader
prints an apparently we'll founded story
of the conduct of the Otto bank. which
failed two weeks ago. which imputes to
the propretors, r. III. Cutting and j. e.
Wiilett. questionable conduct.
1t is stated that the bank issued first
mortgages as many as three or four
times on the same surety, afterward
negotiating the paper to other banks
The partnership is said to have writ
ten letters to other banks grossly mis-
representing the worth of the property
of farmers about here whose notes the
bank We're seeking to negotiate.
Receiver j. d. Knudson is quoted as
saying that the bank will pay about so
cents on the dollar, and the representa-
tives and attorneys of other banks who
have visited Otto since the failure of
the bank are quoted as saying that the
bank will not pay more than or 10
cents on the dollar.
1t is stated that three first mortgages
upon the property of Grant Hall have
been found. Hall is a farmer of this
county and all of the mortgages We're
accepted by the Otto bank, and We're

ferred to other banks. having been dis
counted. The security Of a mortgage
upon 1877 cattle owned by Bart Howe
was investigated and but twenty-seven
cattle were found.
A letter written by the firm Of Willett
& Cutting to the Holstein Savings bank
was seen by the editor of the Leader.
1t states that Charles Spengler. farm
err near here, is rich young farmer,
worth $4,000. The opinion about Otto
is that If Spengler's liabilities were
paid he would be worth very little. if
anything at all. On the strength of
these assurances, the Holstein bank
discounted notes issued by Charles
Spengler. in a sum said to be be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000.
