Saturday night Bailiff Jim Melton OF

to arrest Robert Ladd, negro charg-
ed with pointing pistol at another.
Knowing the negro to be a desperate
character, Mr.. Melton went to his
house and entered the door with drawn
revolver. Ladd was concealed be-
hind the door, and as the officer enter
ed he sprang suddenly forward and
caught the pistol. A desperate strug-
gle then ensued for possession OF the
weapon. Mr.. James Hamilton was
outside of the house and Mr. Melton
called for him, but before he arrived
had regained possession of the pistol
and covered the negro with it. The
latter Immediately threw up his hands
and surrendered.

NEW LUNACY MEASURE,
Important Changes Made In BIZ For
Care of New York Hospitals,

Important Changes Made In BIZ For
Care of New York Hospitals.
| ALBANY, N. Y. Jan. 24.-The as
aembly Judiciary committee today re.
ported the SO called lunacy bill with a
number Of amendments. Regarding the
changes which were made in commit
+, tee the chairman, Assemblyman Rog
ers. gave out the following statement:
"The criticisms of the bill at the
| hearng Oh Wednesday when carefully
! analyzed seem to have been directed
chiefly to the humanitarian side of the
question and TO the various alleged de
fects of administrative detail in the
provisions of the neR bill 1t was con.
ceded by nearly every person who
spoke against the bill that tho change
made some ten years ago giving to the
state commission in lunacy central
lied control Of the estimates and pur
chases for state hospitals as well az
the application of the civil service rules
to the employees and officers of state
hospitals We're all moves in the right
direction. although they We're opposed
at the time when they were first advo.
Gated by the then existing boards OF
managers, just as the present changes
are now opposed by the same influ.
Cnces
"A careful study of the subject of
state hospital management, viewing the
system as whole instead of from the
standpoint Of the individual hospital
confirms the belief that centralized
control with proper checks and safe,
guards is the best most efficient and
most economical
ut is apparent that for some years
past tn. best work of the best mem
bcrs of the various boards of managers
has been along the lines Of frequent
visitation, careful inspection and |
thoughtful recommendation. With
desire to preserve those features and 10 |
meet the criticisms Of the present bill
the committee recommends amend
ments which provide substantially that
there shall be Il board of visitation in
place of every board Of managers
which now exists. These boards are to
consist of five members. Feeling the
force OF the criticism that one year was
too short term for such boards, the
amendments proposed by the commit
tee provide that the members Of the
newly appointed boards shall hold Of.
lice for one, two, three four or five
years respectively, and thereafter each
new appointee shall hold office five
ycc-s."
