MENTALLY DERANGED.
General" Brown Committed to Hos
pital for the Insane.


The colored man who gave his name as
General Brown when placed under ar
rest at the Raleigh Hotel yesterday is a
resident Of this city and did not come from
Boston, as he stated. He was adjudged to be
insane by the police surgeons and commit
ted to st. Elizabeth's Hospital for the In
sane. Sanitary Officer Frank ascertained
that Brown was Washingtonian and that
his supposed mental trouble was due to re-
l1gious excitement. His marriage. license
shows that he was united in matrimony
with Hannah Foster three years ago by the
Rev. Allen B. Hamm. His wife, he says, is
living in Athens. Ga.
Brown was employed as a cook and was
we'll known to the colored people In this
city. Receipts found on him show that he
has quantity of furniture stored in the
city. Recently he attended a revival at a
Baptist church, and had professed religion.
1t Is the belief of Sanitary Officer Frank
that the change the man thus experienced
caused his present trouble. While locked
up at the first precinct station yesterday he
made numerous conflicting statements and
acqulesced IN every suggestion that was
made to him.
AS stated in yesterdays Star, Brown was
arrested when he created trouble at the
hotel, where he wanted to be served. HIS
mission here, he said, was to elevate the
colored race, and he was anxious to inter-
view President Roosevelt He felt satisfied
he said, that the President would do wha
ne wanted him to do Among other things
he said he was satisfied he could make an
arrangement whereby a colored man would
succeed President Roosevelt. He argued
that he could manage the affairs of all the
big corporations in this country, and
claimed he owned many Of the big hotels
The money taken from him will be held
until the case Is disposed of by the court
and then it will be subject to the court S
order. Relatives of the unfortunate man
have called upon the sanitary officer and
explained the case to him.

ton.
At the suggestion of President VIM. H.

ment of committee of five on membership

that the constitution be amended so as to
provide that the dues be increased to 81
