PERIL IN LONDON FLATS
Increased Insanity Charged to the
Monotonous SecIusion.

London has spent and is spending mil
lions of pounds building huge blocks of
nat dwellings. In a few years it may have
to begin spending millions to do away with
them
THESE are the words OF a distinguished
west End physician in response to a ques-
uon regarding the report in one of the
papers that the growth of fat life in Lon
don, which Is becoming more rapid every
year. Is regarded with some alarm by public
health experts.
From inquiries it appears both medical
men and poor law guardians who have
come In contact with many lunacy cases
are firmly OF opinion that fiat life is respon-
sible for the undue proportion of increase
In lunacy, which is costing London rate
payers an enormous sum of money every
year.
A lady guardian IN the working class dis
trict was very emphatic upon the point
My experience regular visitor to
blocks of flats" she says, "convinces me
that the deadly monotony of that London
fiat life is the direct cause of many of the
cases of lunacy of which the public hears
only In the bulk from statistics.
II have constantly been struck by the
large number of women living in fats who
have to be removed to asylum, and the
conclusion l come to is that fiat life, by
reason of the seclusion and consequent dull
ness which II imposes upon women, is one
of the deadliest perils threatening London
women of today.
Their lives are so monotonous that they
become prey to Authorizations"
DIR. Forbes Winslow is equally convinced
of the evils of fiat life.
He looks upon 1t as solitary confinement,
which produces depression and lunacy, but
don realizes the gravity of what Is hap
pening now.

UTAH LAND FRAUDS.
Corporations Charged With Securing
Rich Coal Properties.

Special agents of the federal government
are reported TO have been engaged for some
time past in investigating public land
frauds in Utah. The Salt Lake Herald yes
terday stated that hundreds of thousands
of acres of valuable coal lands have been
acquired by corporations by questionable
methods.
Vast tracts of coal land are said to have
been filed on and patented as agricultural
and grazing land, and then transferred to
coal companies. In many instances, 1t is
stated. lands have been settled on as coal
lands under the law, which permits every
adult citizen to acquire 100 acres of coal
lands by purchase, upon payment of $40 an
acre for such lands, when situated more
than fifteen miles from any railroad and
$50 an acre when situated within fifteen
miles of railroad. Later these filings
have been allowed to lapse, and the same
lands have been acquired as agricultural or
grazing land at $50 per acre.
More than 1900 of these coal entries have
been made In the Salt Lake City land Of
flee, but not more than one in fifty of the
persons who made the filings has complet-
ed the purchase, the filings lapsing, and
title being secured agricultural or graz
ing land from the state land office, through
state land selections.
Forty filings, made in 1901 within a period
of sixty days, have recently been investi-
gated, and thirty of the forty claimants are
found to have been represented by an en-
ploye of a big coal corporation, exercising
power of attorney. The land was filed on
and held for fourteen months as is per-
mitted under the law, without being paid
for. but In none of these cases was the pur-
chase completed, title being acquired
through the state land office at a nominal
figure, under proceedings instituted while
the land was covered by the coal land fl
ings.

A number of projects of special improve

most important being the extension of the

of $4,000 The plant is already modern
one in every respect, with an equipment of
up-to-date machinery. where the laundry
of over 5000 persons is attended to, and
where busy scenes are enacted daily. but
the increased size of the institution makes
it Imperative that the plant be enlarged,
to which end DIR. William A. White, the
superintendent, has arranged to construct
a tWo-story addition to the brick structure

is progressing favorably, will cost about

much again. 1t has been found necessary
after the severe winter to make general re-
pairs to the hospital switch leading through
the grounds of the institution from the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad at the river,
and a force of men has been placed at
work on this labor, which Will require

NOT WITHOUT PRECEDENT.
Proposed Collection of Dominican Gus
toms Was Nothing New

Among papers submitted to the Senate in
order to show that the Dominican treaty is
not without precedent, is one containing
the following account of the part played
by Mr.. Blaine when Secretary of the State,
in the effort to settle a dispute between
France and Venezuela: I'm 1880 difficult
ty arose between France and Venezuela
with regard to the failure of the latter
government promptly to pay the install
ments due to France on the settlement of
claims against Venezuela made in 1864. The
Venezuelan government represented to the
United States that there was danger that
the French government would institute a
blockade and take possession of custom
houses for the purpose of collecting the
money. Under these circumstances Vene-
zuela proposed to deliver certain monthly
sums TO the government of the United
States, which should distribute the money
among the foreign creditors. In a note to
the Venezuelan minister, at Washington,
of February %. 1881, MIR. Evarts, who was
then Secretary of State indicated that
this proposal would receive favorable con-
sideraton. in case it should be found to
be acceptable to all the creditor govern
ments. Consideration of the subject was
continued by the government of the Unit
ed States after the change of administra-
tion when Mr.. Blaine succeeded Mr.. Evarts
as Secretary of State. The chief difficulty
IN dealing with the matter arose out of the
fact that France claimed a priority for her
debt. With reference to this situa ton, Mr.
Blaine, in an instruction to Mr. Noyes
American minister a Paris. of July %, 1881
said: Without attempting to prescribe or
dictate, the President suggests that the
Omitted States will place an agent in Cara
cas- authorized to receive such amount each
month from the Venezuelan government
as may be agreed TO be paid-not less than
the aggregate now paid-and distribute said
amount pro rata to the several creditor ma
tons Should the Venezuelan government
default for more than three months in the
regular installments, then the agent placed
there by the United States and acting as
trustee for the creditor nations shall be au-
thorized to take charge of the custom
houses at La Guayra and Puerto Cabello
and reserve from the monthly receipts a
sufi1clent sum to pay the stipulated
amounts, with 10 per cent additional, hand
Ing over to the authorized agent of the
Venezuelan government all the remainder
collected. 1t is the judgment of the Pres
ident that an arrangement of this kind
would give all reasonable security to each
or the creditor nations. and would be an
eHectual bar against any one obtaining an
tnequitable advantage over the Others.

GARFIELD'S NEXT TASK
WILL PERSONALLY SUPERIN-
TEND STANDARD OIL INQUIRY.
Will Spend Some Time in the Offices OF
the Company in New York-Re-
ports of Dissatisfaction.

Commissioner Garfield. it is believed. Will
personally superintend the investigation
which will be made by the bureau OF cor
poratjons of the Department of Commerce
and Labor into the work and methods or
the Standard Oil Company, according TO
the resolution of Representative Campbeh
of Kansas
The plans for this investigation have been
completed, and the work will begin at once.
Mr. Garfield will spend some time In Ne"
York, where he will begin the work on his
own accord in the offices of the standard
Oil Company. The company has given II
to be understood that nothing Will be placed
in the way of the commissioner of corpora
lions to hinder his complete understanding
of the methods of the company in its work
In the Kansas fields.
From New York Mr. Garfield will go to
Kansas, where he will direct the work OF
the agents of the bureau. Much criticism
of the commissioner has been made by va
rious organs. and it has even been said that
the President not satisfied with his
methods of conducting The Investigations
with which he has been officially charged.
This latter has been denied and the Presi-
dent has given il to be understood that the
commissioners work has been entirely sat
isfactory to the administration. This de-
cision is said to have been the result of
suggestion to the President that Mr.. Gar
field be superseded in the work by Joseph
l.. Bristow, formerly fourth assistant post
master general, and now special commits
sioner to investigate the operations of the
Panama railroad.
The work of Mr.. Bristow in airing the
postal scandals was quoted as a strong
card for his introduction to the present in
quiry, and this was coupled with the fact
that Kansas is his home state and that he
Is familiar with the conditions there and
could handle the matters intrusted to Mr.
Garfield more easily than could the latter
named gentleman. The suggestion met
with the retort that Mr.. Garfield was, in
the opinion of the administration, amply
qualified for the work, and that he would
be retained in it. 1t is understood that the
investigation will also include the opera
tions of the Standard Oil Company in
Texas. this having been asked by the people
of that state.

and his son, aged sixteen, were on the
himsest evidence charged with having
murdered him, and actually convicted and
sentenced. the mother to penal servitude
for life and the son to ten years impr1son-

wish, my last prayer, try to clear the name
of your unfortunate mother.
This pious task has ever since been the
object of her sons life, and at last seems
likely to be accomplished with the aid OF
the League for the Defense of Individual
Liberty, which has taken up the case. The
November %, late at night, in deep fog,
M. AIegrain left the village inn to return
home. In the darkness he lost his way and

keeper who was unable to save him, but
with the aid of a large hook eventually
succeeded in pulling out the body. In so
doing he inflicted on the dead man three
wounds with the sharp point of the hook.
A death certificate was obtained In due
course and the unfortunate man buried.
Later on, however, the village goSsips began
TO talk of murder. What they said reached
the ears of an overZealous magistrate, who
went to Nine. Allegrain's house and bluntly
charged her with having caused the death
of her husband. She denied 1t hotly, and
might have convinced the official had he
not caught sight of some boodstains on
