Side of Washington" Mr.. w. w. Ellsworth,
secretary Of the Century company, was the
note In Washingtons character was apecu-
filed with the members of the association.
Among other things Mr.. Ellsworth ex-
pressed a very iconoclastic opinion OF the
cherry tree incident He told his audience
that the story was myth pure and simple,
concocted by one Preacher Weems, con-
temporaneous divine with a proclivity for
writing biographies.
Mr.. Ellsworth illustrated his talk with
stereopticon slides, said to be the most
complete set in this country covering this
subject. He declared that the dominant
note in Washington's character was pecu-
liar love of order circumspection and bust
ness. which permeated his whole being. He
exhibited sheets from Washington's diaries,
each of which starts off with the simple
caption, Where, how and with whom my
time Is spent
More amusing were the poetic illusions
and the love letters written by Washing
ton as young man to various Virginia
bellies. which the speaker exhibited in dis
cussing the youth OF the first President.

FOR SEPARATE CARE
MOVE FOR DISTRICT ASYLUM
FOR THE INSANE.

In connection with the proposed investiga-
ton of the affairs of the Government Hos
pital for the Insane ii is said there is a
movement on foot to secure action by
Congress favorable 10 the establishment of
a municipal hospital and asylum for the
demented in connection with the new Wash
ington Asylum. which is to be built. 1t is
said the general government would like TO
get rid of the INDECENT insane of the Dis
trict and have st. Elizabeth's as a purely
national institution.
There are now in the institution approx
mately 1900 insane persons from the Dis
trict of Columbia. AS to the complaint of
the committee of the Medieo-Legai Society
that the per capita cost of 1920 per annum
for each District patient is excessive. DR..
White said the apparently high rate was
due to the fact that the principal patients
in the institution are American soldiers and
sailors. who can in no sense be regarded as
pauper insane. They are men whose i'll
sanity the worst instances resulted from
strenuous service for their country, and
for that and other obvious reasons they are
entitled to better fare and accommoda lions
than the pauper insane The INDECENT de-
mented of the District receive the same
fare and accommodations as the soldiers
and sailors and are charged the same
amount per capita.
Alleged Delinquency.
1t is also said that the District is far be-
hind In its payments for its half of the
cost of maintaining the local insane, and
that last year was the first in many years
that it had been compelled to pay it's share.
Hence in former years the District patients
have been kept for one-half that paid by
the general government-which would be
S110 per capita.
1t is also said that the back debt of the
District to St. Elizabeths will reach very
nearly the 81, 100000 mark.
In connection with the drastic action
taken at the session of the board of visitors
yesterday afternoon to compel the atten-
dance of the complainant members of the
Medico-legal Society at future meetings
of the board, il is said Secretary Hitchcock
has expressed the opinion that 1t is the
duty of the board to make an immediate
and searching investigation into the allega-
lions that have been so generously pub
lished in the local newspapers.
