HEADS GET TOGETHER
State Institutions Officials Discuss
49,. Pertinent Problems.

1.-THE Relation of Society and the State
to the Institution" was discussed yes
terday by heads Of state institutions in
their quarterly meeting with the state
board Of control. DR.. A. c. Rogers of the
Faribault school for the feeble minded
discussed the reasons for the establish
ment Of state institutions, and held that
they were an investment rather than a
charity. Society asks that the institu-
tons be run economically and efficiently.
They cannot be administered on cold bus
mess principles because they are dealing
with human beings instead of commodl-
ties. The feeble minded, as a rule, should
be permanently Under state control IF
Frank L. Randall Of the state reforma-
tory at st. Cloud, in discussion, urged
that the people should be well informed
about the institutions and their affairs,
and that legislative committees should
visit them early In each session.

CELL NUMBER 10
It's Already Bad Record Made Worse
Yesterday.

Police Superintendent Conroy is not SUI
perstitious, but he has almost decided
to abolish cell No. 13 at the central police
station or to forbid it's use; so many un-
pleasant incidents have occurred in con-
nection with the cell. Three men have
died there, half dozen have committed
suicide and as many more have been taken
violently i'll and sent to the city hospital.
Yesterday Daniel Austin, a laborer at
tempted to commit suicide in the cell.
He tied a handkerchief about his neck,
fastened it to the ceiling of the cell and
then jumped from the upper bunk. When
he was cut down, a few minutes later, he
was unconscious and remained in that
condition for several minutes. He was
locked up again after being put in a
straight Jacket, but he beat his head
against the iron bars with such violence
that he cut open the scalp and had to be
sent to the city hospital.

MINNIE IS EASY
Her Generous Residents Respond
Too Readily to Questionable
Charitable Appeals.
Associated Charities Manager Draws
Lessons From Case in
Point.

James F. Jackson, manager of the As
ISOLATED Charities, says Minneapolis has 8
reputation among men In charitable work
elsewhere for being one Of the easiest
Of marks" for poor scheme. In 6ther
words, the generous hearted people Of
Minneapolis answer appeals for assistance
with altogether too little care as to
whether the appeal merits response.
In support Of his proposition Mr.. jack
son cites a plan recently Investigated
plan for selling tickets for shoe shines, the
profits of which were to be used for the
benefit Of an outing scheme promoted by
non-residents. In his report to the ex-
ecutive committee of the Associated Char
tiles he says of the scheme:
Inasmuch as the objects of the proposed scheme
are being fully covered by the Outing Association
and other well Unknown local societies, it was not

agreed to cease the sale Of tickets for shoe

CITY HOSPITALS FUNCTION
Secretary Bracken Gives His Ideas
in Concise Form.

In an article in the Northwestern Ian
Get, Secretary H. M. Rracken of the state
board of health discusses with much free
dom THE Function of a City Hospital"
According to his idea, this is the care of
the following cases:
(a) Emergency cases that cannot be promptly
and properly cared for thru other channels.
CO. Cases which require medical care that
cannot be given thru other hospitals, and
(c) Those individuals who have not the means
to secure proper medical or surgical treatment at
home. - 1E...
The Minneapolis hospital, tho vast i'm
provement on the institution of ten years
ago. has weak places. Thus, when man
died at the lookup from acute alcoholism
and a woman died in the county jail from
erysipelas, the inadequacy Of the hospital
| was disclosed
Not only should a city hospital have a
| ward for tuberculosis diphtheria, scarlet
| fever and other contagious and infectious
| diseases, but also for smallpox. The term
pesthouse should be abolished and small
pox treated exactly as other diseases by
the city physician. It should not be the
duty Of the health department, composed
of men who were primarily sanitarians,
to treat diseases.

TIME WILL SOLVE IT
Bishop Grant of the A. M. E. Church
Discusses the Race Problem.

Bishop Abraham Grant of the African
M. E. church declares that time alone will
solve the race question in the United
States In his lecture at the Plymouth
church last evening he said that deporta-
ton would not do, for the negroes refused
to be deported from the land of their birth
and where they had faithfully performed
every duty imposed upon them. 1t was
race prejudice which was at the bottom Of
the outrages and mob violence, but this
prejudice would disappear with time. In
the Bahamas, Bermudas and great many
others of the West Indies, where there
were many colored people, there was no
such violence as in the United States.
The bishop was once sold for Sc, 600, but
this was in confederate money, which at
that time was nearly worthless and slaves
were a drug on the market.

ANY GOOD MAIL BOX
Postmaster Doesn't Require Any Special
Form In FIats-Boxes Must

r.. -
Dwellers in local flats have been in
formed by Postmaster Hale that they are
not obliged to use any special form Of mail
box in Railways. notwithstanding the
representa- lions of solicitors acting in the
interest Of certain mailbox factories.
The solicitors base their arguments upon
an order issued by the postmaster six
weeks ago. He then directed that tenants
living on the second OF higher floors Of
dwellings should provide, at the front door
or in the vestibule Of the first or ground
floor, a suitable wall letter box" for
the mail 1t would not be possible to con-
tinue the delivery Of mail on the upper
floors of buildings not provided with pas
senger elevators. The carriers were al
ready overworked and were forbidden by
law from extending their official day be-
You'd eight hours.
"But this new rule, which went into
effect July IL said a department chief at
the postofffce yesterday, docs not require
the tenant to use any special form of mail
box. The box must simply afford suffi-
cient protection to Justify the carrier in
leaving mail in it,
