"A wide Investigation into the
charges Of cruelty TO patients at st
Elizabeth's Asylum made by the Nedi-
cole gal Society Will be at once started
by the board Of visitors of the institu-
ton"
Dr- G. Lloyd Magruder. member of
the board OF visitors, made this state
ment, following meeting Of the board:
Investigation Is Courted.
Not only do we court a most thor
ough sitting Of the charges" declared
Mr.. Magruder. but We shall insist
upon the appearance and testimony of
the persons who have been. responsible
for them. The investigation viii be
open to the public. and the board will
welcome the appearance Of any one

listing abuses at St. Elizabeth's.
This investigation Will be conducted
on lines similar to that Of some two
years ago, when certain irresponsible
charges were made regarding the al
legged unwhoIesome character of the beef
served to patients. These charges Gre
ated a considerable stir at the time,
but when sifted to the bottom by the
board were found 10 be without truth.
THE board Of visitors pays frequent
visits 10 the institution, and, without ex-
ception, have always found every detail
there IN perfect condition The asylum
may be regarded as a model one, and
one in which the managers take great
pride As to Dr. White, the board con-
siders him one OF the most capa bic alien
lists engaged in the care OF the insane
today His long association in this work
and his successful handling Of nearly
8 1000 patients bears out this statement

President Mitchell will probably sug-
gest a successor to President DoIan
while in Pittsburg, since the fight has
now narrowed down to Mitchell and
Dolan. President Mitchell has so far
declined to make any answer to Dolan's
numerous blasts. but 1t is intimated

concerning the reasons for DoIan'

assigned for Dolans detection. A dis

said this morning:

1T was agreed among the anthracite
men not to enter into a Iong-distance
controversy with Dolan. whose actions
from the beginning may be easily under

Charges OF this nature" he said. al
though not infrequent at such institu-
tions where the mana cement has to deal
with constant complaints, are most ser
ious and will be thoroughly investigated
no matter whom they affect"
DIT. William White, superintendent in
charge of the asylum, said he would be
guided by the boards. action. He had
nothing to fear on the score of abuses
10 patients. he declared, and would
welcome an investigation into the
causes for the recent charges.
The work Of the board of visitors will
probably be protracted. and Secretary
of the Interior Hitchcock may mot be
Informed of their findings until some
time next month. The grand jury may.

Tt Is not thought, however. that the
board will be disposed to regard serious
" the schanges suggested by the Med
ico-Legal Society, particularly with ref
erence to a separation Of the criminal
insane, in view of the fact that they are
already separated.
