of Pay Patients
Permissible, Not Com
pulsory, Says LAWYER.

Authorities Of the Government Hos
pital for the Insane are uthorized by
law 20 receive nonindigent patients,
but no command is laid on them to
accept pay patients from civil life.
This is the opinion Of Oscar LAWYER.
Assistant Attorney General for the
Interior Department. submitted to the
Secretary of the Interior, in reply to
a question raised by DIT. William A.
White. superintendent OF the hospital.
After ruling thai the hospital Is au-
thorized TO receive pay patients, the
opinion continues:
AT the same time a study Of the
statutes is convincing that this hos.
pital was established primarily for
the INDECENT insane, and no command
IS laid on the hospital authorities TO
receive pay patients from civil life.
Permission is given to receive such
patients from the District Of Column
bia when there is room Tor them
i venture the suggestion that a wise
discretion Will do much TO prevent
either an overcrowded condition or a
financial loss"
Hospital Crowded.
The question was asked by Dr.
White in view of the crowded condi-
ton Of the hospital. the occupancy Of
which by pay patients is declared to
be an injustice.
Patients. IL IS said. are admitted
TO the hospital with the understand
ing that their maintenance is TO be
paid for by relatives. but there is no
way of enforcing collections II the
payments cease.
The hospital has no means whereby
TO make them pay says DR.. White,
and the result is simply that persons
who have means and who do not care
10 assume their responsibilities. have
their relatives supported at public ex-
pense.
Cites Injustice.
This is especially unjust as re-
CARDS nonresident patients. no fire.
queHtly are brought into the District
by relatives who desire their care in
the hospital. and, although they ex-
press a Willingness to pay. there is
no way to compel them should they
cease TO do so.
This is an injustice 10 the class OF
patients for whom the institution was
built and maintained. namely the
poor. who cannot afford 10 pay. and in
the crowded condition which usually
maintains. the persons for whom the
hospital was intended are displaced
by those who really have no legal
right here"

In the plan as proposed by The
Times. the question OF nuisance caused
by the noise of several hundred children
playing in the public streets would not
arise. for the reason that the children
are now using the streets TO be affected
for the purposes Of play" said Major
Judson. The fact that they are to
have the privilege Of pla wing there ur-
interrupted by traffic would not add a
whit TO the noise they make.

see that steps 10 that end are taken
as soon as possible. OF cor-se. the au-
thOrity, if there be such authority TO
close the public streets for this nur-
pose, lies with us; but whatever our pri-
waite opinion may be, we ALWAYS are
glad 10 have the people back Of us, and

Of the greatest value.

Major Sylvester Approves.

posed plan into operation at once. But

January 20

Charles A Windsor, rs years old,
a retired cattleman of Wichita, Kan,
who with his brother, Henry c. Wind
sor, also a retired ranchman of Des
Moines, Iowa, has been passing the
winter in Los Angeles, died at the Abb

the result of injuries incurred when
he was struck by a sightseeing auto
mobile at Seventh and Olive streets
January 29 The body was removed to
the undertaking establishment of Over

will make a searching investigation to
fix the blame for the death.
According to the records at the re-
ceiving hospital, Windsor was struck
and knocked down by a sightseeing
automobile driven by H. S. Larder.
The police surgeons found the aged
man had suffered a slight concussion
of the brain and an abrasion on the
left elbow. After being treated at the
receiving hospital he was taken to his
apartments at the Abbotsford Inn. He
began to grow worse and DR.. Henry
Prigge was summoned. He found

and despite efforts to revive him, he
died yesterday afternoon without re-
gaining consciousness.
Henry C. Windsor, the brother, VINO

were taken from the house and sent
to the police station, where King was
booked on a charge of battery and
the woman was locked up as a
Vagrant.
King was bleeding profusely from
two deep cuts in his head and IL was
necessary for the police surgeons at
the receiving hospital to take several
stitches in order to close up the
wounds. The injured man then was
locked up in the tanks and 'ds bail
was fixed at $100.
According to the story of King he
was in his room reading when he
heard Miss Fisher cry for help. He
hurried into her room and saw two
men struggling with her. Not know
ing they were officers, as both were
in citizens clothes, he demanded to
know what they were doing. He had
no sooner asked the question, he as
serts, when Browning jerked out a
pair of handouts and struck King
twice on the head.
The officers say they entered the
womans room without warrant and
told her she was under arrest on a
charge of being a vagrant. They de-
clare she refused to submit to arrest
because there was no warrant and
rushed out of the room, screaming for
help, and entered an adjoining room.
They rushed after her and she ran
back to her own room. At that mo-
ment, they say, King entered the
room, asked what the trouble was
about and then struck Browning on
the forehead, while the latter was
endeavoring to show his badge.
When seen at the police station
while booking his prisoners there was
no indication that Browning had been
struck, as there was on evidence of as
much as a scratch on his face.
King, it is said, will prefer charges
against Browning and Bowe and take
up the matter with the police COM

his cheeks took the smallest child in
his arms and with the other three cry
ing for their mother and clinging to
his coat, he left the courtroom. Marks
has tried to procure a bond for the re-

by p. P. O'Brien, who in the absence
of Police Judge Rose told Marks only
cash bail would be accepted.
Mrs. Marks and her maid were ar

FINAL CARLOAD OF
SCENERY ARRIVES
Seven Trucks Required to Transport
Canvas from Cars to the Tenn
pie Auditorium Stage

The final carload of scenery for the
Passion play arrived at Temple audi
torium yesterday and was moved in.
1t required seven trucks to transfer
it from the car. Work of reconstruc-
ton was commenced on the Calvary
and Mount of Olive sets, which were
too large for the Auditorium stage. A
Los Angeles firm will be given the
contract for building one hundred
platforms that must be erected for
these two great scenes 1t will take
sixty-five stage hands to operate them.
A contract has been made with a local
firm for upholstered pads to cover the
entire stage, to be covered with
canvas ground cloth painted to resem-
BILE grass, rocks and earth. This is
something new in stagecraft.
There was a chorus rehearsal at ST.
Joseph's hall last night under the di-
rection of F. w. Hayes, who, assisted
by Rev. Peter Huesges, is drilling the
singers. Several musicians have vol
unteered their services, but few
more good voices could be used. Will

Barbarous methods are declared to
have been employed by Patrolmen
Bowe and Browning of the purity
squad" when they entered the room
occupied by Marguerite Fisher at S22h
South Main street, overpowered the
frail woman when she protested
against arrest without warrant and
then, according to his story, beat
George King, an automobile dealer,
and placed him under arrest because
he rushed into the woman's room in
answer to her cries for help.
The two officers are assigned to plain
clothes duty and instructed to rid the
city of women of the lower world.
Until recently they have confined
themselves to making arrests when
they met the women on the street and
were positive that the accused was of
the scarlet type.
Last night the officers went to the
rooming house at S221a South Main
street, knocked on the door of the
room occupied by the Fisher woman
and demanded admittance. The door
was opened and the officers, without
warrant, told her that she was under
arrest and for her to get ready and
come with them.
Miss Fisher says she protested and
asked them to tell her why she was
arrested WITHOUT warrant ana on
what charge. When she was told that
warrant was not necessary for wo-
men of her type she refused to sub
NIT to arrest and declared she would
not go to jail unless they produced a
warrant. They overpowered her and
she began to scream for help.
Her cries were heard by King, who
occupies a room on the same floor
| and he rushed into the room and saw
the officers struggling with the wo-
man. He asked what the trouble was
and says for an answer he was struck
twice on the head with pair of
handouts welded by Browning.
Finally both King and the woman
