MUST HAVE LICENSES
Hospital and Home Held to Be
Private Institutions.
|COME UNDER THE LAW
Acting Corporation Counsel Stephens
Renders His Opinion.
ARE NOT OF A PUBLIC NATURE
Providence Hospital and Founding
Home Subject to the Act Gov
erning Private Sanatoriums.
ARE NOT OF A PUBLIC NATURE

Although performing public services and
dence Hospital and the Washington Home
for Foundlings have been declared by
Acting Corporation Counsel F. Fl. Ste
phens 10 be private institutions. and
therefore subject to the act of Congress
and regulations passed by the Commits
sioners.
In an act passed at the last session of
Congress to regulate the establishment
and maintenance Of private hospitals and
asylums the first section declares that
no one in the District of Columbia shall
establish or maintain any private hospital
or asylum. either for the reception of
human beings or of domestic animals, I'M
less or until licensed by the Commission
ers of said District
The Providence Hospital and the Wash
ington Home for Foundlings were in
structed by the health officer, who Is
charged with the duty of enforcing the
law. to secure permits, but they main
tanned they were not private institutions
within the meaning of the law and needed
no licenses. The question was submitted
to the Districts legal advisers for an
opinion.
Not Under Government Control.
Acting Corporation Counsel Stephens re-
views the act Incorporating the two insti-
tutions in his opinion submitted to the
Commissioners today and continues:
Il find nothing in either of these acts
which would Justify the conclusion that
these corporations or either of them are
public corporations. In my opinion they
are private corporations and their prop
erty is owned privately; the control and
management being private.
1T is one of the essentials of a public
corporation that the management shall
be under governmental control.
sIn the case of the Home for Found
lings there is but one clause in the corpo-
rate act which distinguishes this corpo-
ration from other private corporations.
that Is, the requirement that a report
shall be made each year to the Secretary
of the Interior. and this is not coupled
with any power of supervision or control
on the part of the latter or right of in
reference with the management Of the
corporation. This Institution was founded
for benefcent and humane purpose, but
the fact that the charity is public one
does not make the corporation itself a
public corporation
I'm the case of the Providence Hospital
there is nothing whatever in the in
cooperating act to disclose anything Of
public nature"

ASKS
CHICAGO FOR A
FOOTBALL GAME

Coach A. Alonzo Stage has been
asked what's the matter with Kansas
in football way. and he is inclined
TO think that Kansas is all right. The
Maroon coach thinks so well of the Jay
hawkers that he will probably. give
them a place on his 1910 schedule, as
he declared yesterday when he received
a petition for a contest from the Sun
flower state institution.
THE Kansas prospects must not be
regarded humorously," Coach Stagg
said, for the Jayhawkers have been on
the Midway mind for some time. The
game was in the air when the big
eight" representatives recently passed
law permitting games between the
big eight and the Missouri valley con-
ference
whether the Maroons should face
Kansas or the Navy IS one of the ques-
lions stagg hopes to solve in the next
few days. With Cornell game almost
certain. the coach is inclined to think
another eastern game might not be de-
sirable situation which gives the
| Jayhawkers a still better chance.
