Washington Hospital
Management to Be
Investigated.
Board of Charities
Committee Will
Conduct 1t.

Acting on information furnished
by The Times, Commissioner Mac
farland has ordered a sweeping in
veStigation by the Board of Charities
of conditions at the Washington
Asylum Hospital. This was done
in accordance with the announce
ment as published in The Times
yesterday.
This inquiry, which will probably
be conducted by a subcommittee of
the Board of Charities, will seek to
determine whether it is necessary,
in view of the conditions complained.
of, to make any changes in the per-
sonnel Of the staff in charge of the
Asylum Hospital.
The work of investigating will be-
gin at the earliest moment possible,
according 10 statements made at the
District building today.
What VIII Be Found.
These investigators viii find. that
the insane, and alleged insane. per-
sons there are treated under condi-
tions which, to quote an official OF
the institution, are nothing short
of outrageous
They viii ird the following facts:
There are in the entire hospital
now 136 patients, which are looked
after by only nine pupil nurses dur
ing the day and three pupil nurses
at night.
In one ward there are twenty pa
tients looked after by one pupil
nurse.
At night one pupil nurse has to
care for ninety patients, among
whom, scattered in picturesque va
riety, are helpless and bedridden
persons.
Entitled to Twenty -four Nurses.
Although the institution is entitled 70
twenty-four nurses. only one-half that
number are employed. the reason given
for this being the wretchediy small SAL
aries paid to nurses.
In one OF the rooms set aside for the
treatment Of insane and suspected in
sane persons II frequently happens that
a ravlng maniac is confined with a per-
son who. although he may be insane.
may also be suffering with nothing but
some form Of illness.
The investigators. il they explain this
state Of affairs, will, in all probability.
recommend that Congress be asked for
more money to run the institution in A
