ROBERT HIT MAY
WE'D ELkIhS GIRL
Owner of Valuable Land
Near Miller Is Again In
the Limelight.

A Washington dispatch to the effect
that Robert Hit son of the late Con-
gresham Hit of Illinois, may wed
Miss Katherine Elkins. the oft-reputed
fauce of the Duke of Abruzzi, has
aroused considerable interest in Miller.
Young Hit is the owner of most
OF the lake front at Miller, where
Gary and Lake county people go in
bathing. He owns several hundred
acres. and his especially valuable land
is where the summer cottages stand.
Part of this is also claimed by Mrs.
Carr, and it is the Identical tract that
the city of Gary tried to condemn for
park purposes.
How old Congressman Hit got this
land might make a rather interesting
story were it ever probed. Originally
1t belonged to the Indians and at the
time Hit acquired it he was chairman
of the house committee on public lands.
He suddenly acquired the Miller stuff.
but how know one is ever been able
to explain. This is the Washington
dispatch:

FORMER STATE DOCTOR IN
TOUCH WITH CHARITY WORK

DR.. P. H. Johnson of Gary is in re-
ceipt of the latest report of the State
Board of Charities recently issued. He
was for a number of years chief as
sistant surgeon in the state hospitals
for the insane and is in touch with con-
ditions in the stae.
The report is significant in that it
shows that Indiana is the first COM
monwealh in all the world which has
been successful in making the Grimm
ally insane self-supporing. The recent
action of Governor Marshall in issuing
an order to the effect that all other
state institutions shall use the pro-
led to much dissension and 1t is not
ducts of the state insane asylums has
expected that the order will hold good
In the past the work of the insane
criminals has been disposed of at a
profit even with fair competition and
it is felt that other commercial activi-
ties in the state should no be made
TO suffer by the loss of trade pros
PEGS consequent upon the enforced pur-
chase by state institutions of the COM
modities manufactured by the charges
of the state
The report shows that there are sew
enteen state charitable and correc-
are contemplated this year. These in
situations are: The Indiana Reforma-
tory at Jeffersonville: the State School
for the Deaf at Indianapolis; the Cen
trail Hospital for the Insane at Indi-
annapolis, the School for the Blind in
the same city. the Indiana State Prison
in Michigan City: the Boys school al

phans Home at Knightstown: the In
diana Woman's prison at Jeffersonville

Hospital a. Easthaven. Southern Hos

State Soldiers Home at Knightstown
the Indiana Girls School at Clermont
the Southeastern hospital for the In
sane at Madison. the village for epilep
tics near Newcastle and the hospita
for the treatment of tuberculosis a
! Rockville.
The report deals somewhat harshl.
with the jails of the state and has tn
following TO say concerning the insan
in the county institutions:
Nothing in our entire system OF pub
lie harities is more distressing the en-
forced presence OF insane persons il

board. on a recent visit to an asylum,

even above the average the patients
still lack the scientific treatment that
would be theirs in the state hospitals,
and their chances for recovery are
slight indeed. There is also to be con-

hospital treatment might save them.
Were they convicted of crime and sent
to states prison they would under the

are insane and the state has not pro-
vided for immediate admission to a
hospital, so they must wait and the
time of waiting sometimes runs into
| years. Their lot is solitary conf1ne-
ment in a cell. often dark and gloomp
and unsanitary, or, If they leave the
cell for the corridor, they are subject
ed to the torment and ridicule of the
other prisoners. Some of these insane
have committed suicide in the jail; 9TH
ers have beaten their poor bodies
against the bars or fallen and bruised
themselves upon the floor, sometime:
they assault their fellow prisoners and
even murder them
