Provide One for District.
TWO YEARS FOR DRINKS

Is. The bill as originally drafted out
lined in detail the treatment of inebriates
after 1t had been determined that they
should receive hospital care. A woman
who is very much interested in the prop
| osition called upon Commissioner Ru-
dolph yesterday and said she was en-
deavoring to have the House committee
on the District take the matter up, and
asked for the support Of the members
| of the board.
| Under the bill, to be habitually drunk
or addicted to the drug habit would be
misdemeanor. and would render the
person liable to two years in the hos
pital for inebriates. together with the
added possibility of a hundred-dOllar fine.
The hospital would be under the direc-

this fact, and no person who had not

sentenced. Although any judge could
sentence an inebriate, the defendant
could demand jury trial.

While under treatment at the hospital
the patients would be required to keep

Provision for Parole.
The bill requires that every inebriate
committed must serve at least sixty days.
But it also states that any patient who
appears to have improved sufficiently may
be set free before the expiration of two
years. However, watch will be kept
on such persons and should they fall into |
evil ways again the superintendent can |
order their arrest and return to the in |

The bill contains a provision which |
would prohibit any one convicted OF be- |
