that it takes from workmen the right

The resolution characterized the at

THIRTY-SEVEN MORE DERANGED
PEOPLE IN STATE THAN LAST
MONTH.
PERCENTAGE NOT KNOWN
Ratio Of Increase of Dementia Not
Given as Population Totals Are
UnavaiIabIe.-Hospit Filled
to Capacity.

Madison.-According to a statement
issued by the state board Of control,
there are 6,548 inmates in the state
and county insane asylums of Wiscon-
sin. This is an increase Of thirty
seven over the number a month ago
and sixty-two over the number two
months ago.
The figures probably show the aver
age rate of increase in the number of
insane persons in the state, but do not
represent the ratio Of increase in in
sanity, because it would be necessary
to know the increase in the total pop
ulation of the state during the periods
in question, the figures for which are
not now available.
Filled to Capacity.
AS to the number of inmates in the
hospitals for the insane, located in
Mendoza, Oshkosh and Milwaukee, is
usually close to the capacity of those
institutions, the variations in their
total registrations are generally
slight.
When an inmate of one of the two
state hospitals in Mendoza and Osh-
kosh has been treated for a certain
period of time and the alienists of
the institution determine that his case
is incurable he is transferred to one
of the county hospitals for the
chronic insane. For that reason the
number of inmates in county asylums
gradually increases, while that of the
state hospitals remains about the
same year after year.
When the new detention building
for the criminal and dangerous in
sane at the state hospital in Oshkosh is
finished, which may be this year, the
total number of inmates in the two
state hospitals will be increased be-
cause of this additional capacity.
Total Registrations.
The total number of inmates in the
two hospitals at present is 1906, in
the Milwaukee hospital 651 and in the
county asylums 1851. This is an in

and forty-two in the county asylums,
