cy Commission
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call


STOCKTON, Dec Ie-Sheriffs from
the majority of the counties of the state
attended today the annual convention
Of the California sheriffs' association
The sessions We're private. but it was
| learned that Dr. Hatch had in
| augurated movement which had
for its end the abolishment of
the practice heretofore in vogue OF
insane patients en- route to the state
asylums being handled by represents
tives of the Offices of the county
iSheriffs.
The gist of DR.. Hatch's plan is to
have all patients taken charge of by
attendants OF the state hospital to
.fhich the unfortunates have been as-
signed. DR.. Hatch urges in support of
his policy that the patients will be
cared for more kindly by attendants
than by sheriffs, and, incidentally, that
the fee system which now enriches the
sheriff's office would, If given to the
support and maintenance Of the state
hospitals, add an economic feature or
no small magnitude to the state insti-
tutions.
The sheriffS resent the policy of DR..
Hatch and declare in no uncertain
terms that his policy is but a new fad
to make himself and the lunacy COM
mission, which they class as a joke
body, appear to be at least working
part of the administration of the state
executive branch.
! 1t is whispered that DR.. Hatch,
should he persist in the installation of
his plan, will meet with an opposition
that will not only thwart his new
policy, but may be carried on till the
lunacy commission and DR.. Hatchs po-
sition viii be wiped from the state.
One of the sheriffs explained that all
of the sheriffs of the state, with their
deputies, could build up political
lighting force which would wipe the
commission and its plans out of exist
ence.
