for Insanity After Search
of Over a Year

BERKELEY, Jan. 3.-Guy Grigsby.
heir to a large estate left to him by
a distant relative, was found by his
father in the local Jail today, charged

home year ago, and since that time
his father has kept up an incessant
search. The boy is thought by his
father to be mentally weakened and in
that state wandered away from home.
His plight was discovered today
through L. Hubert of 1887 Grant street,
who called at the police station, identi-
ned him and communicated with his
rather. He was taken to a sanitarium
this afternoon

PUBLIC HOSPITAL
IS BEST ON COAST
Oakland's Receiving Institution
Outranks Other Municipal
SanatOriums in West

OAKLAND, Jan. 3.-The completion
of the addition to the insane ward at
the receiving hospital places Oakland
in the proud position of having the
finest emergency institution for the
treatment of the injured and i'll citizens
of all the cities of the Pacific coast.
BY the addition of % feet to the rear
of the building eight new wards for
insane patients have been provided,
each finished in polished oak, with sep
arate heating apparatus and every con-
venience for the comfort of the de-
ranged patients.
Extensive Improvements have also
been made in the operating room, and
the ward of the surgery proper. An
Il" shaped extension has been added
to the old surgical department, prac-
tically doubling it's floor area. Two
fine operating tables and several sur
gical sinks of the latest model are
among the innovations. Glass shelving
for medicines and enameled glass
topped tables to accommodate dressings
and instruments are also new features.
new sink has been installed, with
foot levers for turning on the water,
which removes the danger to attendants
of communicating their hands by turn
ing metal faucets.
thorough renovation of the interior
of the operating room has also been ac-
complished; glass partitions segregate
it from the portion of the room where
the surgeons gowns and accouterments
are kept, germ free, and all possible
traps for germs and impurities have
been eliminated from the building.
The rehabilitation of the hospital was
done in accordance with recommends
tions made by Chief Surgeon o. ID.
Hamlin and Steward Samuel w. Platt.
The committee appointed by the board
of supervisors TO carry the work to
completion consisted OF Supervisors
Kelly, Bridge and Foss, 1t was done
under the personal supervision and di-
rection of Doctor Hamlin.
The surgeries have been re-enameled
white, and the same color has been in
stalled in the other roofs and halls.
Commodious living quarters have been
constructed In the front part of the
second story of the hospital, an auto
matte gas heating apparatus has been
installed in the basement, and the en-
tire building is equipped with COM
bination electric and gas fixtures.

pital on the coast, and I have seen
