Practice Is Dangerous.

In his report to the Commissioners yes
terday Maj Sylvester also calls attention
to his recommendations in his report at
he says. in part:
at is TO be regretted that circumstances
frequently cause the officials of asylums
or sanitariums to permit partially cured
inmates 20 leave the same on furiough
or parole. and many patients from asy-
lums throughout the country are at large
without a certificate of clearance or re-
covery These subjects are liable to de-
velop mania AT any time and any
where at .he cost of human life. Unless
pronounced and certified as cured, no pa
tent should be permitted to leave an in
sane asylum except under guard and pro-
lection OF an attendant.
Paroled Patients Cause Trouble.
THE occasions are not rare when the
police are called upon to apDrehend per-
sons who have been extended privileges
such as have been mentioned, and in
stances might be cited in which the Sc
curing of such persons has been attended
by much anxiety. labor and risk. 1t not
infrequently happens that individuals who
are arrested for crime or who come
within this jurisdiction and show signs
of insanity are found upon investigation
to have been caroled from some institu-
ton where they had been under treatment
for mental disorders. Experience prompts
the suggestion that those who are charg-
ed with the care of the insane should eN-
ercise wise judgment and be thoroughly
convinced of PATIENTS recovery before
granting either furlough or discharge.

was made by Commissioner West before

that greater care might be exercised in
the surveillance of patients.

the Government Hospital for the In

The letter sent to the then Secretary
of the interior, James r. Garfield was
as follows:
The Commissioners of the District
of Columbia have the honor To transmit

made to Maj. Sylvester by Capt. Michael
Byrnes of the sixth precinct, in which he
complained Of the difficulties and dangers
that were encountered by his men in ar

found drinking. and an Endorsement of
Police Chief Sylvester. in which he said

SNOW RISE" COMING
 DOWN THE RIVER

Volume of Water Is Not Great Enough
 to Ind}ct Any Damage to Banks at
 This Point-Floats Boat Which Was
 Aground.
 Although there has been no recent rainfall in tho Arkansas river drain age basin the tide has risen almost two feet since last Saturday at Fort Smith and the water Is bearing down on Pine Bluff and other down river points.
 The rise Is therefore characterized by the weather bureau as "snow rise," the other two kinds of rises recognized being dry" and rain X dry rise is the result of rainfall which occurs out of the observation district of the given weather bureau and the names of the other two kinds are self-eXplanatory. The present snow rise is the result of the snow of a week ago, which is now melting in the upper drainage basin of the Arkansas. It is the first one that the local weather bureau has recorded since Section Director Alcia- tore took charge in 1904 at Little Rock.
 The rise is not expected to be great enough to inflict any damage, but has rather been help to the con- tractors who are building revetmen1s and dykes at this place, for it floated one of their boats, which has been aground for several days.

CAPT "BOB" RICE
 SAYS THEY'RE DONE
Reports that Condon, Celia and 9th. CTS Want to Sell Their Race Track Interests After Being "FrOze Out' by the "Legits."

John Condon, Louis Celia and his partners, Messrs. Adler and Tiles, Dan Stuart and others identified with the ownership of race tracks in the Middle West, have Or are about 10 sell out all holdings in that line.
 This information was furnished by Capt. R. k. Rice, the Arkansas turf man and politician, who was ruled off the western turf for racing at so- called outlaw tracks, and who retail lated by assisting in legislating the game out of his native state.
 Capt. Rice refers to the men men toned as "mercenary gamblers" and says that they have decided to sell, lock- stock and barrel, in hopes of letting others jump into pow/so that favorable legislation may be asked for general assemblies to convene two years hence.
 The present effortin Arkansas to re- vive racing at Hot Springs, will fail, according to Capt. Rice, who left for Little Rock yesterday afternoon to as- sist in fighting the repeal bill.
 He says Celia, Adler and Titles have already sold the famous old race track in St. Louis and that their oth- CT tracks are on the market. Ut has been a game of freezeout," says the veteran, and the gambling element has lost

SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR
 THE
 II. KING WHITE MONUMENT FUND, . % .
ALLHONOR TO JOE.

The people of Jefferson county and especially those living In Pine Bluff should always feel grateful to Joe T. Robinson. the energetic young con- xressman from this district, for his untiring efforts in behalf of Pine Bluff and its river front. at Washington. Congressman Robinson induced the rivers and harbors committee to in eert m appropriation of $97,000 for Fine Bluff in it's bill. which will be presented to congress within the next few days and which practically means its adoption. The influential young representative from Lonoke Is also making a determined effort to bring about the immediate passage of hls Aill. appropriating s250.000 more for river work here.
 Many will say that Congressman Robinson is only doing his duty, and we agree to that. But when 1t Is con- ntdered that so many of our represen- fatives in the past have failed to do things that were just as important as the recent accomplishments of MT. Robinson, appreciation should be the more evident. Some congressman from Arkansas have not even made an effort to get results. Congressman Robinson is one of the most active and valuable servants in the national body Arkansas has had since the days of Honorable Clifton R. Breckenridge.

Little Rock, Ark, Jan. 2l.-The Senate this morning passed Senator Arnold's joint resolution providing initiative and referendum. and inci- dentally the first oratory in the sen ate was expended upon this measure, which, upon final vote, carried with but one dissenting vote. Senator To- ney was absent during roll call.
 Both the Sumpter-Greaves and the Holland Boles senatorial election con- tests were filed this morning and are now in the hands of the committee on elections. The former is placed in the fands of the committee with sweeping instructions to probe the matter, while the latter is submitted to the committee with the testimony of both contestants already taken.
 The senate was also notified that Governor Donaghey had approved and signed Senate Bill No. 21, the news paper and stamp bill.
 Tho House.
 The house had on it's puSnacious paraphernalia, otherwise know as it's fighting clothes" this morning, as va demonstrated early in the session.
 The feature of the morning was de- cidedely the discussing of the Dill providing additional counsel and funds to carry on the fight of the state against the efforts of the rail- roads to permanently enjoin the rates of the state railroad commission. and centered upon two phases of the bill how the chief counsel should be ap pointed, and how much appropriation the measure should carry.
 Mfr. Parks, of Lafayette, author of the bill. called it up for consideration and after 1t was read he proposed an amendment so altering the original bill as to permit the governor and at- torney general acting together to ap- point the chief counsel.
 This precipitated substitute by Mr. Monroe of Hampstead, who moved to amend by giving authority for the
