WILSON ENTERS PROTEST
BELONGS IN OLD DOMINION

Whether Mamie Rebecca Leber, now
at the Government Hospital for the In
sane. is citizen of Virginia or of the
District of Columbia is question which
probably will cause much discussion and
perhaps legal controversy. Corporation
Counsel Thomas says she is a Virginian.
The attorney general for Virginia says
that she may have been Virginian at
one time, but that at present she is a
Washingtonian, and he refuses to let her
go to Virginia to be taken care of by the
state.
Until a few days ago the only trouble
that Mamie Rebecca Liebler gave any
one at the hospital was a firm refusal
to eat mouthful whenever she got
angry. Mamie Rebecca, who Is said to
suffer from form of abnormal mental
ity known as "dementia praecOx." is all
right until she gets angry. When she
does get angry she simply will not eat.
She persists in fasting until there is
danger of her starving to death.
That much is merely a hospital detail,
but the fact that Mamie hebecca was
born in Virginia and is being supported
by the District of Columbia Is going to
cause some trouble between the Old Do
miniOn and the seat of the nations gov
ernment, If the prediction of Secretary
George Wilson Of the board of charities
is carried out. Mamie Rebecca Is now
twenty-five years old, and costs the Dis
trict 1920 a year for her board and keep
at the Government Hospital for the In
sane.
