ASYLUM TRUSTEES URGE HOME
FOR IMBECILE AND EPILEPTIC
In Report to Governor Brown They Declare State Should Sep
arae These Unfortnates from nsane- Proportion of nsan
ty Is increasing Figures of 1910 Contrasted with 1880

The annual report of trustees of the
state sanitarium. at Milledgeville. which
has just been transmitted to Governor
Brown shows that 1875 people in Georgia
are being treated for insanity and that
the proportion of insanity has Increased
from / in every 7os people. in 1880 to /
in every s26. in 1910
The trustees devote the principal part
of the recommendations in the report to
urging that the state build hospital
for epileptics and a home and training
school for the feeble minded.
of six amendments that are proposed In
the report to the law governing the SAN
itarium. the first prohibits the commit
ment of imbeciles, paralytics, epileptics,
and feeble minded people to the sani-
tarium, and provides that they shall be
cared for in separate institutions.
In reference to imbeeiles and epileptics
being committed to the sanitarium. the
report says:
'sThe present law allows their commit
ment to the sanitarium. There were
probably economic reasons for it at that
time. but these are not of force now. A
hospital for some epileptics and a home
and training school for the fleeble-mind-
ed have nothing in common with a hospi-
tai for the insane each class requiring
radically different care and treatment
Their enforced association with the In
sane is an injustice TO each class and
should not be permitted longer.
HOME FOR FEEBLE-MINDED.
ssThe home and training school for the
feeble-minded is an urgent state need
and it's establishment should not longer
be delayed
"a girl of years of rather pleasing
appearance, with show of Intelligence
in her face, is sent to the sanitarium,
and by force of circumstances is placed
among the insane. Those in a position TO
know stated that this child was capable
of considerable development, the facili-
ties for which, however, the state does
not provide. In three months the girl
from association with those much worse
off than she, becomes insane

Fifty years ago today southern soldiers
were working their way. in squads of raw
recruits. companies of volunteers and
regiments of disciplined troops from all
parts of the Confederacy, toward Rich
mond and northern Virginia. Here was
to be the seat of war.
The decision had already been made
to abandon Montgomery, Ala, as the
Confederate capital, and June was the
date set for the formal installation of
the Confederate government at Rich
mond. The alliance of Virginia with the
Confederacy had rendered inevitable the
choice of Richmond as the capital. Vir-
ginia must be the battle-ground. and so
years ago today the various small armies
that the Confederacy had already raised
were being disposed and drilled to de-
fend northern Virginia and the APP
proaches to Richmond.
These armies were in command of Of
icers of high character, for the Confed-
eracy had secured some of the best men

PAT TYHEE BIG INJUN

When Pat L. Tyhee, chief of the
Bannock Indians on the Fort Hall
reservation, gets back home from
Boise, where he and bunch of
braves and squaws are taking in the
fair and acting as one of the main at
fractions, there will be no living with
him., Yesterday he stalked about
the Capital City, according to advices
from that village, proudly exhibiting
an deliberately executed document,
with big gold seal and purple rib
bons, reading as follows:
ITO Whom 1t May Concern:
"This is to certify that the bearer
of this letter is Captain Pat l.. Tyhee,
chief of the Indian court of the Fort
Hall Indian reservation. | know him
personally and can testify that he has
always been friendly to the whites
and is trustworthy and entitled to
every consideration.

When Tyhee comes home this docu-
ment will be posted on the most con-
spicuous place on the ridge pole or

WHOLESALE PLOT BY PRISONERS
Tunnel Discovered Nearly Completed
Which Would Have Made
Easy Exit

Dannemora, N. Y, Oct. 1.-THE
officials of the states prison here
have just discovered a tunnel excav.
ated by convicts under the prison
yard and reaching half way to a big
trunk sewer, which would have af-
forded a convenient opportunity for
a wholesale Jail delivery.
The tunnel has been three years
under construction and was still not
more than half done. 1t was started
by two life-term men. They could
not make rapid progress because OF
the difficulty of disposing of the dirt,
which they. had to mix in small guam
titles with the furnace ashes from the
laundry. One of the two was an en-
gineer and he had worked out by in
tricate calculations the exact angie
at which the tunnel should be drop
ped to reach the sewer.
After the tunnel was found a
search was made of every convict in
the prison. From the cells were TAX
en- two wagon-loads of nondescript
stuff, including stilletos, hammers,
monkey-wrenches, sand blacks, fish
poles and $50 knives.

POCATELLO MAN AT HEAD OF
IDAHO MEDICOS
DIR. w. F. Howard Of Pocatello Elect.
ed President Of the Idaho State
Medical Association

Boise, Idaho, Oct. 14.-The Idaho
State Medical association closed a
successful convention here yesterday,
following the selection of Portland
as the place for the next annual meet
ing. Portland was agreed upon be-
cause of the Washington and Oregon
associations conclave there next year
under the head of the Northwest Tri-
Medical Association.
The most powerful address Of the
convention was that of DR.. w. T. Will
hanson of Portland on the sex prob
lem and the necessity of instructing
the young. He boldly declared for
complete sex instruction in the public
schools and resolution was adopted
to that effect. He recommended that
children be informed on this import
ant subject by their parents, de-
claring that they are bound to &c.
the knowledge and that it most gen.
orally comes from vulgar sources
when given outside the home and
thus pollutes the mind of the youths.
He suggested that the, information
should be given either through the
parents, ministers, teachers or physi
clans and urged that the local asso-
citation attempt to get law passed
at the next session of the legislature
requiring its teaching in the public
schools. He declares that the reason
so many girls in stores and Offices
went wrong was because so many
temptations were thrown in their
way, and he cited as some of the
sins indiscriminate dancing, permits
sion to remain out after curfew, etc.
The association also pledged itself
to work for the establishment of a
state sanitarium for treating tuber-
culosis and medical inspection in the
public schools.
w. F. Howard of Pocatello was
elected president and E. E. Maxey of
Boise secretary and treasurer.
