NOMINATION COST HIM SO, s4s.
Hobson Spent Sum Equal to Salary in
Navy for Two Years.

A dispatch from Montgomery Ala, last
night says: Richmond Pearson Hobson,
nero of the Merrimac. has certified to the
secretary or state that 1t cost him $694S to
defeat Representative J. H. Bankhead for
the nomination for Congress at the recent
democratic primaries In the sixth district.
OF this sum, SLIPS was spent for printing
and 81 800 for postage.
Capt. Hobson was a naval constructor
and resigned from the navy in February
three years ago, at time when his salary.
on shore duty. was 1896 year. He first
asked for retirement. which would have
carried with 1t a pension. on the ground of
defective vision. but the board of surgeons
declined to certify him for retirement He
tried for Congress two years ago and was
defeated; In apparent proof that his lee
ture tours must have been fairly lucrative.
1t Is seen that In the recent contest he
spent considerably more than he would
have earned In two years had he continued
In the navy. and more than one years
salary as representative.

DR.. Whites Visits.

DR.. White the witness said, visited his
department once in while"
How frequently?" asked Representative
Smyser.
He has no regular day for visiting me-"
replied DR.. Logic. He made one thorough
inspection last November, and l have seen
him around frequently since then. He had
seen the board of visitors at the Institution
once a month.
"Dr. White responds at once when
want to see him about patient" said Dr.
Eoeie. when 1 have a case | want him
to look at 1 call him up on the phone and
he comes right over. He visits his wards
as frequently any other superintendent
| have ever been under.
do the members of the resident medical
staff consult?" inquired DR.. Burchfeld.
ooh yes" replied DIR. Logic. I'VE have
a staff meeting every Sunday morning,
when scientific matters purely are dis
cussed. Sometimes original papers are
read The superintendent himself has read
several There is the best of feeling be-
tween the various members of the stan and
all seem to be working hard for the bene-
fit of the institution
Dr. Logic assured the committee that the
heating plant at the asylum was entirely
adequate. Sometimes 1t was rendered tenn
porarily inefficient by persons menkeying
with the system of ventilation. but or
dinarily Ii was all right.
No patients were committed to the hos
pital without due process of law.
DR.. Logic read an article from the New
York Medical Journel. by DR.. Roe. a we'll
known physician. which treats of the causes
of injuries among the insane.
DIR. Roe spoke of the occasional bursts of
indignation over the alleged ill-treatment
of patients. and said all authorities should
take pains to deny these wI.I rumors. DI.
Roe's article gave many instances of pa
retics constantly fnjuring themselves. DIR.
Logic said this would apply to DIR. Cara
Ear In nd n he n linn
concerning whose alleged ill-treatment
there has been some testimony before the
committee. DIR. Carraher, DIR. Logic said,
was admitted to the asylum with bruises
on his arms and legs Since his adm ssion

The Food Good.

DR.. Logic considered that the food at the
institution compared very favorably with
the diet at other institutions. In the Rich
ardson group the cooking was much better
than In the other Kitchens but even else
where In the institution the food was very
fair.
Referring to the use of oleo in place of
butter. DR.. Logic testified that oleo was the
more nutritious and healthful of the two
He had heard no complaint from the pa
tents concerning its use. Moreover, $1,000
8 year was saved by its use.
DR.. Logic had served in the Manhattan
State Hospital and other institutions besides
St. Elizabeth and the latter compared very
fayorably with other institutions of a like
character st. Elizabeth had a little more
money to spend. underclothing, clothing,
food, etc. was better at St. Elizabeth
Moreover, there were some extras furnished
at st. Elizabeth for distribution TO patients
that were not seen elsewhere. In his de-
partment DR.. Logic was permitted to draw
at frequent and regular intervals for the
use OF the patients In MS department
thirty-seven pounds OF chewing tobacco,
seventy-five bags of smoking tobacco and
two gallons of whisky.
Some of the old soldiers like a little

Plenty of Attendants.

DR.. Logic testified that. in his opinion.
there were plenty of attendants detailed
10 his department. He was entitled to
forty-three, but at the present time there
were three vacancies.
The attendants at present in his depart
ment were the best he had ever seen. They
were kind and gentle to the patients and
most OF them were gentleness itself 1t
was necessary to have very patient men,
There were, of course. isolated cases of
il-treatment of patients by attendants,
but the latter were always discharged
when found to be guilty. DIR. Logic gave
several instances In which attendants had
been summarily dismissed for striking
patients. He also gave one instance of
an attendant striking a patient, when the
attendant was not discharged. In this
case muscular patient had assaulted the
attendant and the latter merely defended
himself DR. Logic thought the attend
ants action in this case was absolutely
justified. He knew of no other case Of
this kind.
Restraints were used at the hospital only
when absolutely necessary. No cruelty
was involved. Any attendant who dared
to put restraint on a patient without the
order of one of the physicians would be
instantly dismissed

assistant physician at St. Elizabeth, was
the first witness to testify at this morning s

Logic told the committee that he was in
charge of the Richardson group of build
ings at the institution, with 371 patients

A great deal of mail with reference to
patients was received at the asylum daily.

within twenty-four hours. DIR. White had
inaugurated this system.
