Considerable CONSERVATION was caus-
ed among the trustees and friends OF
the two insane hospitals Thursday
morning by the statement published In
several Maine newspapers to the effect
that Hon. r. +. Chase of Bluehiil had
stated before the Judiciary committee
Thursday that Governor Fernald had
said that neither of the insane hos
pitfalls was to receive the appropriation.
for which it had been asking
When the attention Of Governor Fer
Maid was called to the matter Friday
morning he said that there was evi-
IDENTIFY Il misunderstanding. He has
state! his position regarding the nos
pital appropriation in his message 10
the Legislature. Jan. I, and had not
changed il III any respect. Either
Judge Chase had misunderstood him or
Judge Chase's remarks before the ju-
dietary committee had been misunder-
stood by those who heard him. The
message of Governor Fernald declared
in favor of liberal appropriation for
a new wing at the Eastern Maine IN
sane Hospital at Bangor and appropria-
tons sufficient to provide for the sup
nort of those. who are to become wards
Of the State under the State care act.
Judge Chase when asked about tht.
matter in dispute said that he thought
there must be q misunderstanding III
regard to his remarks before tine lu-
dietary committee. What he had in
tended to say and what he thought he
did say was that the Governor had sa;i;
that all the appropriate asked by
the hospitals for the insane for the pur.

granted because of lack of funds on the
