Committee Startled By

WILL HAVE TO EXPLAIN
More Witnesses Testify to
Dr.. Whites Good Manage
,ment of Hospital.

When the special Congressional
committee investigating the Gov
ernment Hospital for the Insane,
assembled this morning, it was
surprised to see a printed placard
alleging that its work is a huge
farce" and calling for an interna-
honal investigation of the manner
IN which insane aliens are commit
ted to a lunatic asylum in the
United States.
This placard was signed by Lewis
j. Marshall, who at one time was
an inmate of St. Elizabeth's and
was examined by the committee a
week ago.

.CONED BY THRONE.
DOUHA ABIDES BY
DEMAND Of CAR
Deputies viii Not In
siSt Upon Direct Com
muniCatiOn.

ST. PETERSBURG. May 21.-Emperor
Nicholas has won an unqualified victory
in the frst openly threatened clash with
the douma- The deputies today. in the
face of the direct refusal OF the Car
10 receive a deputatiO1 from the douma
TO present the answer TO the address
from the throne. which was character
ized as a direct challenge to the new
assembly, hauled down their flag. so TO
speak, and refused TO accept the invi-
tation TO fight
In view of the fact that extended eau
cuses were held yesterday by the Con-
stitutiOnal Democrats 10 decide upon
what course should be taken by the
douma. the action today IS significant
The surrender Of the douna on the vi
tai point. namely the right Of the rep
resentatives Of the people to address
the Gar directly, has aroused the great
est discussion and brought great criti-
cism upon the deputies.
Populace Is Indignant.
The general public is indignant to
think the douma has quietly swallowed
the insult from the throne and there
can be no denial of the fact that the
prestige of the uouma among the peo-
pie has been seriously endangered by
fits surrender.
1t was expected that general out
cry against the Gar would be raised
when the douma met today Instead
of the expected outbreak. however. the
deputies by an almost unanimous vote
passed a resolution TO proceed with the
order Of the day" thus ignoring the
slight Of the Emperor.
When the douma met President Mou-
omtseff notified the house Of the Gar
decision that the address must be pre-
sented through the ministry OF the court.
A resolution was then introduced which
stated. Considering that the importance
OF the address lies in its contents and
not in the mode Of presentation, be il
resolved. That the douma proceed to the
order Of the day
Vote Almost Unanimous.
A few of the Radicals spoke boldly in
denouncing this resolution, and insisted
that the douma would accept the chaI-
lenge from the throne and assert the
right of the Representatives Of the peo>
pie to personally address the Car. The
douma, however. by an almost unani-
NOUS vote, decided upon the resolution.
The Constitutional Democrats have in
stituted a movement for the application
of a scheme for land distribution among
the peasants. According 10 their scheme
local committees are to decide the de-
tails of distribution and TO form a IanG
fund to secure lands which now belong
TO the crown and the monarch. These
committees are also to decide what shall
be the maximum amount of land to be
allowed to any individual.

Will Be Called to Explain.

The committee decided TO have Mr
Marshall appear before them this aft
ernooR and explain the derogatory state
ments made about them In his placard
In this document Mr.. Marshall declares
that he was not allowed by the com
mittee to tell all he knew about St.
klizabeth's. and he declares that he is
the representative of $1,000 insane aliens,
the greater part Of whom have been
committed to lunatic asylums without
due process of law. His placard is en-
titled, An appeal for justice TO all peo-
pies. nations. tongues. and kindreds OF
the world"
The witnesses examined by the com
mittee today testified that the manage
ment OF the institution is good. and that
the food given 20 patients is good.
Miss Rose Herbert testified that there
are not enough nurses TO care for the
epileptics in the institution.

Fireman Saw No Abuses.

L G Rollins, a District fireman. the
first witness called. said he was an at
tendant at st. Elzabeth's for two
months In 1904. He was on White Ash
ward, and he and three other attend
ants looked after thirty-two patients
He said he saw no abuse of patients
while he was there. He would not have
tolerated such a condition OF things.
The food while he was there was not
so good. He thought, however II was
as good as could be expected"
DR.. Arthur G. Fitch. a physician at
the asylum, said he had served on How
ard Hall where the cOlored males and
criminal insane are confined. He and his
superior, he said visited everybody on
the ward once day, and he made addi-
tional rounds.
lie lad never known of any instances
Of cruelty in his department. He had
investigated complaints of patients Of
cruelty, but had never found any such
charges well founded He had seen
bruises on patients, but ne was sure
these did not come from rough han
ding"
DIR. Fitch then told OF the dismissal
OF an attendant for slapping a patient
Although the patient was not hurt the
attendant was discharged and taken TO
Police Court on warrant for criminal
assault The man, however, had not
been convicted
The witness said this was usually the
case, as you can't get a Washington
jury TO convict an attendant in such
cases. The jury IS apt TO think the
attendant acted in self-defense. Then,
too, such cases are hard to prove"
He said il is possible thar attendants

things

that he was landed in ST. Elizabeth's.

Il think not. ST Elizabeth's ts q
good place for him. He is now ernnloved
there for a nominal sum -
Deputy United States Marshal Turner
then took the stand. saying he had
often been at st. Elizabeth's. and had
noticed that patients there were well
treated.
Re did not believe patients were COM
mitted 10 the asylum without dna
process OF law.

Get Black Eyes in Fight.

Asked by Mr.. OIcott If he knew any
thing Of a colored man named Tyler be-
ing roughly hand ed.
He has had a number of black eyes -
said the witness. .'On one occasion he
got two black eyes in an alteration
with another patient. an epileptic named
Dorsey"
Witness said he constantly heard com
plants of patients being choked and
''wrdng out" but he had never been
able TO prove the truth OF them" He
regarded these complaints as "tradi-
tlons" He could not explain why these
complaints were made If they were not
true. but he was certain they were not
true.
Dr. Fitch said he is now the might
medical officer" of the asylum, and has
10 look after the whole 2. 500 patients
all night. He has no assistants in this
work He thought last week he had
twenty-five calls every night. He is
told of the condition Of patients by
telephone messages.
He thought there ought to be two
more attendants in Howard Hall. 1t
had been hard to get attendants there
because the Superintendent had ruled
that no little men" should work there.

gested Mr.. Smyser.

considered the most profitable sort,
for there is more profit in them at
so cents per barrel than in Jonathans

Twig are rated high as profit makers.
Peaches are uncertain. owing to
sudden storms and extreme cold in
winter and sometimes late spring
irosts. Pears blight badly and are
little grown. Cherries are raised
largely. Wragg is considered the
best late cherry, but Montmorency
grows very fine. He also grows Ear.
