ESCAPES FROM ST. ELIZABETH
SUPT. WHITE WILL SUBMIT RE-
PORT NEXT WEEK.
Assistant Secretary Wilson Believes
leased Only by Legal Process.

DR.. William A. White, superintendent
OF the Government Hospital for the In
sane, will have his report on the escapes
from the institution ready for Jesse NJ.
Wilson, assistant secretary of the in
terror the early part of next week.
DR.. Maurice ]. Stack. first assistant ply
stefan, said today that DIR. White was in
New York city for few days vacation
and received the request for report
from the Interior Department just as he
was leaving. DR.. White is expected to re-
turn Monday.
Mr.. Wilson sent to DR.. White Thursday
Maj. Sylvester's report to the Commits
sioners on the effect of the escapes Of in
sane persons upon the community, and re-
minded the superintendent that similar
complaint was made a year ago. He de-
clared that measures should be taken to
prevent the inmates from escaping from
the institution, and recalled the fact that
this suggestion had been made to DIR.
White more than year ago by the Sec
rotary of the Interior.
The recent escape of patient. armed
with cleaver. who menaced residents of
Hillsdale. has revived the subject.
Release of Patients.
Mr.. Wilson said this afternoon: I'm my
Judgment persons who are confined in the
Government Hospital for the Insane by
legal process should not be permitted to
leave until they have been discharged in
the same manner.
1.-The Interior Department has super
vision over the finances of the Government
Hospital for the Insane, but am not sure
we have the right to dictate as to the
method of treatment.
Patients Without Attendants.
1.-The complaint received from the super
intendent of police and District Commits
sioners was based on the escape of pa
tients in the hospital who were allowed to
roam about the grounds of the institution
without an attendant with them. 1 am
inclined to believe that this is included in
the treatment Of the patients and that 1t
Is discretionary with the superintendent
as to the liberty to be allowed his charges.
MY opinion is that the treatment should
not be OF such character as to menace
the safety of citizens of Washington. Cir
cumspection should be exercised in per-
hitting patients to roam about the
grounds, and careful watch should be
kept over dangerous patients"
