WILSON CONVINCED VICIOUS
INSANE ARE POORLY GUARDED.
As Result Of Investigation Govern
ment Hospital Will Undergo
Some improvements.

More stringent measures for guarding
the inmates of the Government Hospital
for the Insane have been taken as q
result Of the investigations ordered by
Secretary Ballinger Of the Interior De-
partment into the escape of three insane
patients of Sunday evening.
Assistant Secretary Jesse B. Wilson,
accompanied by Surgeon General Walter
Wyman Of the public health and marine
hospital service, who Is on the board Of
visitors Of the hospital. went to st. Eliza
beth's and made a careful inspection.
They came tosthe conclusion that greater
safeguards must be provided against the
escape Of the inmates. and will so report
to Secretary Ballinger.
On several occasions the police depart
ment has made complaints about the es-
cape of patients from the government
tary Wilson, to whom Is assigned super
vision Of insane hospitals. has not been
disposed to regard the complaints as very
serious. Several weeks ago DR.. Whlte,
superintendent of the hospital. made a
report to the Secretary of the Interior
on complaints made to the Commissioners
by Maj. Sylvester, and Assistant Secre-
tary Wilson said that he regarded the
report as quite satisfactory and that the

Wilson's opinion.
Bars Not Strong Enough.

confined, which consist only Of heavy iron
scroll work fastened with screws to the
wooden easement. are to be reinforced
with another such contrivance. In addl-

patrol the outside of the building.
Mr.. Wilson said:

bars, such as are used In an Ordinary
prison, should be provided. But we are
doing the best we can under the present

however, and think prevention of escape

SEWAGE SYSTEM CONDEMNED.
Health Office Objects to Conditions
a. ro1urnhfe aoIf Club


The sewage disposal system OF the Co.
lumbia Golf Club has been condemned by
the health department.
The system OF cesspool drainage now in
use at the clubhouse, according to a
report by DR.. H. F. Sawtelle, the acting
health officer, cannot be maintained
without nuisance or danger to public
health"
H. " Sanford, chairman of the greens
committee of the club, recently sent the
Commissioners detailed description OF
the system Of sewage disposal installed
at the clubhouse and requested that the
organization be allowed to use 1t while
the club continues in its present loca-
ton. An inspection was afterward made
by the inspectors Of the health depart
ment, and it was reported to the Commits
sioners that the health authorities have
not usually allowed such system OF
sewage disposal and recommended that
the request be refused.
The plumbing department then took up
the matter, and Richard A. O'Bren. act
ing inspector of plumbing, has recon-
mended to the Commissioners that the
installation Of the usual type Of sewage
disposal system be suggested to the club
This has been approved by Engineer
Commissioner Judson.
