"RUDO|E" GETTING READY
 FOR GRAND CANYON STUNT
Indications Are Large Crowd Will
 Visit Canyon When Ruddie Goes.

Eddie Rudolph is rapidly rounding into form for the approaching trip to the Grand Canyon, when he will at tempt to catch a baseball thrown from the top of a 1,000-foot cliff into the canyon. Sundry trips made into the country districts with his new Ford, accompanied by his manager, Bill Al word. have invariably wound up at the Hole-in- the-Rock and while this state ment must rot be utilized as q betting tip, it is said that Ruddie has not missed a single ball dropped to him from the top of that eminence.
 Manager Alvord is daily in receipt of a dozen or more letters from enth- siastic fans throughout the southwest ern section asking for information as to when the trip will probably be made. He says he expects that from the num- Der contemplating the trip, it will be possible to secure special car for the party.
 One of the unique features of the preparations being made for the final effort is the construction at a local sporting goods establishment of an ap- paratus somewhat resembling catch ing mask, although of heavier type, which will be fitted upon the top of Ruddie's head, thereby insuring that he will not be injured even in the inn probable event of his missing the ball.
 Charles K. Pishon, who is in the northern part of Arizona at the pres ent time scouting" for new players, will visit the canyon in a day or two and definitely determine at just what point the contest will be held. It is rumored that another of the star play CTS of the local nine is desirous of turning the affair into a match for purse, the winner, if there is one, to take all This matter will be taken up at a conference tonight.

INSANE HOSPITALS ARE CROWDED
Unable Accommodate the Patients Desiring Enter
New Haven Authorities Believe that Additions
Should be Continued at Norwich State Hospital

from all appearances insanity iii this
state is so greatly on the increase that
the state will soon, and very soon at
that, be forced to enlarge both the
state hospitals for the insane at Mid
dletoWn and Norwich.
For sometime superintendent H NJ.
Pollock has been notifying probate
received hare until vacancies occur
On Monday he officially notified the
probate court In n. H. that nomore
insane patients could be received at
the Norwich institution unless abso-
iutely necessary, and no other means
could be found of disposing of them
At present there are under treatment
at the Norwich asylum 700 insane pa
t1ents, whereas the institution is only
designed to normally accommodates $50
patients
The officials at the Middletown asy-
lum have also notified the probate
courts and other committing author
tiles all over the state, as has the Nor
witch asylum, that they were filed to
overfiowing with insane patients and
that more cannot possibly be accom-
modated. These institutions are the
only two state institutions for the in
sane in this tate.
New Haven of course has some ac-
commodation for insane patients at the
Springsfdse farm, which is also over
crowded at present there being go in
sane patients at present there, and
there is room for no more. The accom-
modations at Springside are nowhere
near as perfect as those at the state
institutions.
Under the Connecticut statutes the
police courts can commit state patients
to the several private insane santa
RUINS which accommodate this class
of cases, some of which are located
at Westport, Stamford. Hartford and
other places throughout the state but
the accommoda lions a the private in
situations is naturally not up to the
quality of that afforded at the two
large state institutions
Relatives of insane patients upon
their commitment naturally desire

LAKE STATES THAT HE
HAS MADE NO PROMISES
His Only Pledge Is To Serve the Best
Interest of the Public Weifare-Big
Majority of Lake Delegates.

In reply to the declaration that he
has promised all the offices within the
gift of the governor three times over,
Everett ]. Lake has recently issued
the following statement:
Il have promised no place to any
man. 1 have made no pledge of any
kind with reference TO the offices it
will be my duty to fill if 1 am elected
governor of Connecticut.
Mr.. Lake made further statement as
follows: PA" Corbin, the present eff
Gent tax commissioner, is serving a
term which will not expire until July
1, 1913 There will be no vacancy in
that office for the next governor to
fill.
with reference to the office of
highway commissioner, a friend of
Commissioner James H. Macdonald
asked me to promise that if elected to
the governOrship ] would reappoint
Macdonald. I declined to make any
promise whatever, am ! have made
none in reference to that Office or any
other I have very high regard for
Commissioner James II. Macdonald
personally, and 1 fully appreciate the
good work he has done for this tate
in respect to the good roads move
ment. My refusal to make a promise
in his case has by some been inter
preted as indicating that if elected
governor 1 would appoint another
man. I have said nothing to justify
such conclusion
I'm respect to the office of highway
commissioner and all other offices.
am absolutely unpledged and shall
continue to be unpledged during all of
this campaign.
Il expect to be the next governor
and if my ambition to that end is real
lied I shall go into Office with only one
pledge-the pledge to do all within
my power to serve the best interests
of public welfare"
In respect to the canvass, one high
up in the politicaI affairs of the state,
who knows whereof he is speaking,
said on Monday that there were just
SO delegates elected in the state. and of
this number 80 were known positively
to be for Lake, 4 were for Goodwin,
and the attitude of the other towards
the two gubernatorial candidates was
unknown.
Up to date Preston is the only town
in New London county that has held
a caucus and the action of that eau
Gus Friday evening in electing Lake
delegates indicates the general senti-
ment of New London county. which is
strongly for Lake. The Ledyard eau
Gus takes place very soon. and other
caucuses in New London county will
follow next week

that they be sent to institutions where
they will receive tils very best treat
ment, and this can only be secured IN
the big state hospitals. Where state
patients are committed to private in
situations the patients relatives IL able
bear one-half the cost, while the state
pays the other half. II the patients
relatives are unable to bear this eX-
pense the state has to shoulder the en-
tire burden.
supt Pollock of the Norwich hospf-
tai has long advocated the enlargement
of this institution. Both the state hos
additions, if voted by the Legislature,
can easily be made.
1t is very probable under the cir
cumstaficess that the net legislature
will be forced to make some provisions
for the enlargement of both OF these
Institutions as it has become imper-
atively necessary
Meanwhile under the present condi-
lions insane patients may have to be
committed to private institutions. The
work underway at the local hospital
will, when completed, provide room
Sufficient to overcome the present
crowded condition, and then the adj
mission of new patients will result in
overcrowded conditions again very
soon.
When interviewed Monday morning
superintendent RattlesdOrfer OF the
Department of charities and corrections
of New Haven stated that Springsside
is overcrowded with insane patients,
there being over sixty insane patients
there, which is over twice the number
of this class of patients that can be
properly handled there.
He said that the problem now pre-
sented as how to care for further in :
sane patients is a big one which will
have to be very carefully considered
SUPERINTENDENT Rattleedorfer stated
that the state had plenty OF room to
increase the size of the Norwich insti-
tuition and that this should be done
as soon as possible. He said that the
work would of course have to be first
sanctioned and then ordered done by
the general assembly.
