ON TERRITORIAL ASYLUM.
Report Has Been Made to the Gov.
ernor.

Guthrie O. T., Sept 21.-The following
report has been made to Governor T. B.
Ferguson by the committee of physicians
appointed by him to investigate quarterly
the condition Of the sanitariIm at Nor
man:
Hon. T. B. Ferguson. Governor of Okla
homa:
Your committee appointed to visit and
inspect the asylum for the insane at
Norman submit the following report:
I'VE visited the institution on September
nth, as directed by you, and made very
careful examination of the whole place.
There are now confined in the asylum 423
patients. We find the general conditions
about the same as at our last visit. The
health of the inmates is remarkably good,
there being but eleven on the sick list
at this time and most Of these are chronic
cases.
The sanitary condition is as good as II
is possible to make IT. There is no COM
plant from inmates or attendants of
the quantity or quality of food or cloth
ing. The medical staff and attendants
are competent and we'll adapted to the
positions which they occupy.
1.-The asylum is still over-crowded. al
though this condition has been relieved
TO some extent by completion since our
last visit of a new two-story building.
which accommodates about seventy-five
patients. There is an addition to one
ward in course of construction. which will
further relieve this condition.
The hospital is very small and insult
ficient, not worthy the nama. There is
no hospital for women. This is a very
bad feature which should be corrected
THE water is good and the management
is now providing for a greater supply.
"A new cess-pool has been constructed,
which is a great Improvement over the
old ones, disposing of the sewerage very
effectually and removing-for the present.
at least-any cause for criticism or COM
plant.
Your committee has made inquiry into
the charges of immoral conduct referred
to in your letter CT instructions and finds
no evidence TO sustain the charges.
Very respectfully submitted

MIR. Anderson Makes Statement
on GOyernOrship

A representative Of the Rich
mond Times-Dispatch called on
Attorney General Anderson Satur-
day and asked him as to the
rumors recently circulated to the
effect that he would probably not
be a candidate for the governor
ship in 1905.
Major Anderson stated in reply
that he mad never authorized the
statement that he would not be
candidate for Governor two years
hence. His name, he said, had
been repeatedly connected with
the gubernatorial nomination dur
ing the past two years, without
any suggestion, directly or in
directly, from him, and assurances
of strong support in the event of
his candidacy had been generously
given him from every section of
the State. In view Of these he
had not indicated to any one a
purpose not to be a candidate, but
he regarded it as premature to
at this time his candi-
dacy for an office, which would not
be filled for two years.
Major Anderson further stated
that there were some considera-
tons which might make it adj
visable for him to be candidate
for re election to the Office he now
holds. He stated, however, that
he would determine the question
AS to his candidacy and make his
decision known in ample time for
action by the voters in the primary,
which will choose the nominees of |
he Democratic party.
