Attorney General Kirby, who has
just returned after an absence of a
week, was called into a conference of
state officials to discuss the situation
After investigating the matter Mr.
Kirby said that the fiIing of the in
junction petition in the federal court
by the Rock Island. was ground for
cancelling the roads right to do bus
mess in the state and that forfeiture
should be taken at once and the penal
ty of $1,000 a day should be assessed.
In bringing this suit for injunction,
says the attorney general. the Rock Is
land openly and defiantly violated the
provisions of the statute prohibiting
the removal of or bringing of suits in
the federal courts without the consent
of the party sued.
Acting Secretary of State McHenry

Bull DING ACTIVE;
NOT ENOUGH ROOM
Easthaven Hospital for the
Insane Will Remain in a
Crowded Condition.
WORK FOR APPROPRIATION.
TWO NEW WARDS ARE CONSID-
Erred ESSENTIAL IN ORDER TO
PROVIDE SUFFICIENT ACCOM-
MODATIONS.

Business is heavy in the building line
at Easthaven, but still the hospital re-
mains too small to accommodate all
those mentally unbalanced persons in
the district. who should be admitted
to the institution. 1t is understood
that at the next session of the legisla-
ture strong pressure viii be brought to
bear upon the law makers, to grant an
appropriation which in a great meas
tions in the eastern district. Each
county has more insane persons than
the regular allotment, and many of
these are being held in the county jails
for better place of confinement. This
practice is being censured by both
county officials and ministers of the
gospel who are acquainted with the sit
uation There is no other section in
the state which is so seriously affected
by overcrowded conditions as is the
eastern district. An appropriation
for the addition of at least two new
wards is all that will in any way RENE
ay conditions and this is the thing that
will be worked for, it Is understood.
The foundations for the invalids' new
cottages at Easthaven have been COM
pleted and the remainder of the build
iacs will be rushed TO completion that
they may be ready for occupancy be-
fore the winter weather makes its ap-
pearance.
The Easthaven authorities have long
been wanting a grade crossing over the
Pennsylvania railroad, and this is
about to be realized. Work has al
ready started on the construction of
the grade and this will be completed in
the course of the next few weeks.
Work on the new steam plant which
is TO cost $4,000. has also begun.

INSANE CRUELTY TREATED
ALLEGED BRUTALlTIEs IN THE
WARDS ISLAND HOSPITAL.
Patients Knocked Down, Kicked,
stransled and Dragged, Accord.
ing to Former Attendant.

New York, Dec. 23.-Stories Of al.
legged cruelties and brutalities, prac.
ttced upon defenseless insane patients
by attendants, were told in the
hearing of. the lunacy commission ap-
pointed by Gov. Hughes to investigate
conditions in the Manhattan State hos.
pital Wards island.
John G. Mccarthy, a former attend
ant, related instances of alleged ill
treatment of patients, who, he said,
were frequently knocked down and
kicked for trivial ~offenses and, when
ever the attendants were particularly
yengeful, they would be hanged" and
sometimes drugged.
Dr. Mccarthy, who worked at the
hospital that he might obtain informa-
ton concerning conditions, described
hanging" as a method of torture. He
said the process was to tie a towel
around the patients neck and twist
1t until the victim wag on the verge of
suffocat1on. The "hangings," DR.. Nc
Carthy state, usually took place in the
presence of so or 60 patients who
stood trembling with fright at what
they saw. The witness said that the
attendants gave the patients some
thing that they called green DOPE"
DIR. Mccarthy declared that there was
little or no provocation for, the at.
tacks.
