Probation Period

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, Del. March 1.-Repudiating
measure he had introduced Repre-
sentative Wilson of New Castle, in the
House yesterday afternoon spoke and
voted against the bill in relation to tine
admission of a certain class of patti
ents to the Delaware State Hospital
for the Insane at Farnhurst It provid-
ed that if the patients after being three
months at the hospital show no homl-
eide or other violent tendencies they
shall be removed and cared for by
their families. or persons committing
them. Representative Conwell was the
only member to vote for the bill Rep
resentative Wilson said the bill was
drawn at the suggestion of the Trus-
tees of the State Hospital and to meet
the objections of certain taxpayers
These critics, he said. we're of the
opinion that many of the cases sent to
the Hospital could be cared for at
home with large saving to the tSate
Personally, he said, he was opposed to
the bill because he considered it un-
fair and unjust Mr.. Wilson cOnsid-

place for even the mild cases as it
could not be told when an insane per-
son may become dangerous and Go
some violent act
Representative Hammond, who for
several years was Assistant Superin-
tendent Of the Hospital, said it could
not be told when any of the mild pa
tients would become violent and in his
opinion the State Hospital is the place
for all of them as the hospital is pre-
pared to care for them there. DR.. Ham
mond remarked that generally the
cost of keeping the patients of such
institutions decreases as the popula-
tion increases but at Farnhurst the
cost per capita has increased with the
population.
Representative Moore spoke against
the bill and expressed his sympathy
for Mr. Wilson. in having to introduce
the measure as a part of his duty.
Representative Conwell favored the
bill as it is his opinion that the harm
less imbeciles should be cared for at
home. Early in the present session Mr..
Conwell introduced a resolution in the
House. suggesting that the trustees be
more economical in their management
Of the hospital.
Representatives Hoffecker and T. o,
Cooper, spoke against the bill DIT,
Cooper said there could be no guaran-
tee that patients harmless today
would be harmless tomorrow. Some
people think some of us should be
there" said DR.. Cooper.

"FRAUD Cry
In THE SENATE
But it is Only Over Asking Of
Bigger Appropriations for
Sussex Towns

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER. Del. March There was
another furry in the Senate yester-
day afternoon over the House bill to
reincorporate Selbyvule. When the
bill was brought up in the Senate
Joseph l.. Cahall, attorney for the
Levy Court Of Sussex county, said
that the court had decided not TO en-
dorse the reincorporation Of any town
carrying an increased appropriation
by the Levy Court, with the single
exception of Delmar. The Selbyville
bill provides for an increase from
$3.50 to $500 year. This led Senator
Drexler, OF Sussex county. to declare
that fraud is being perpetrated upon
the General Assembly; that such fraud
has been perpetrated upon the House
and is now being perpetrated upon
the Senate, In an effort TO get in
creased allowances for towns from
the Levy Courts.
He referred to the proposed incor-
poration of Rehoboth. carrying an in
crease from $500 to $500 of the Levy
COURTS allowance and he exhibited a
petition for such He said the in
ference given was that the Levy Court
endorsed the bill He declared that
the fraud was being perpetrated by
politicians who would get a Levy
Court commissioner living in the dis
trict of the town desired to be re-
Incorporated and then represent 10
the Legislature that the Levy Court
favored such an increase in allow

bills, charter and all"
Senator Miller said he thought It
was about time the Senate called
2 halt in such matters.
Referring to the case Of Selbyville
Senator Drexler said: II know they
will blast me for what ] do, but ]
don't propose to help rob the county
treasury for a few votes. for | want
to stand for what is honest and right"
Speaker Campbell was given the
privilege of the floor and explained
the bill. He said Selbyville when the
old charter was passed paid less
than S400 to the county, but now pays
$S11, and he thought the request for
5000 from the Levy Court was only
fair Action was deferred on the bill

INSURANCE MEN
BEFORE LEGISLATURE

Special 90 THE EVENING JOURNAL
DOVER. Del, March 1.-The Senate
aud House committees on banking and
insurance yesterday afternoon in tho
Senate gave hearing on the Senate
bill prohibiting life insurance COM
panies giving options on stock to pol
icy holders at the time OF securing
policies. There was a big delegation
of insurance men present, those favor
ing the bill representing most of the
life insurance companies Of other
States doing business I'm Delaware,
while the officers of the Continental
Insurance Company, Of Wilmington,
which would be affected by the bill,
We're here to oppose the measure.
Robert Lynn Cox, Of New York. gem
eral counsel Of the Association OF Life
Insurance Presidents and successor to
Grover Cleveland I'm that association,
spoke IN favor OF the bill. He said
other States had adopted it. the idea
being 20 make the law uniform It
was his idea that the sale of insur-
ance and stock In insurance compan-
les should be divorced.
Philip Burnet, of the Continental
Company opohe hBdluht inc DILL ne
contended the policy holders should
have the same right TO buy stock I'm an
insurance company as depositors I'm a
bank should have to acquire bank
stock. He said the greatest irregular
tiles had occurred I'm companies in
which stock was not issued with in
surance. He said a bill such as was
proposed would have a tendency to
increase the cost of insurance. He
also asserted that passage OF the bill
would impair the credit of every cor
porauon OF any kind which holds a
Delaware charter, for Il would give
the impression that the Legislature
wholly without reason had passed a
law TO strangle one of the States own
creations.
William F. Kurtz said he considered
the argument of Mr. Burnet unanswer-
able
Mr.. Cox, speaking again. charged
that with every policy holder also n
stockholder, there would be no profit
for themselves.
Mr.. Burnet in closing said one OBJ
lect OF making pOlicyhOlders stock
holders was TO expand the field OF men
working to advance the interests OF
the company.

AUTOMATIC GUNS
CAN POP AWAY
House Defeats Bill to Prohibit
Use Of Rapid Fire Weapons
Within Delaware

Special TO THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER. Del, March THE House
OF Representatives yesterday after
noon killed the House bill prohibiting
the use of automatic and repeating
shot guns in hunting for birds by a
vote of Is yeas. and 10 nays. Many
of the members considered Il uncon-
stitutiOnal on the ground Of class
legislation.
The bill had been introduced oy
Representative Messick. and was eX-
planned by Representative Hoffecker
as a bill for the better protection Of
game. He said it is possible 20
slaughter game with the automatic
and repeating guns and had no doubt
but that nearly every good sportsman
in the State favored the bill
Representative Gormley said In his
mind the bill savored OF class legis.
lation and had been told that the law
had been decided unconstitutional by
the courts of some States. Mr. CORN
ley stated that in New Castle county
reed, rail and blackbirds were about
tho only birds hunted. and he falt
that there could be no objection TO
cunning for them with one OF tho
modern guns.
Representative Tebo said he would
have to oppose the bill, as he hardly
thought the automatic and repeating
guns did as much harm as they are
given credit for II was his opinion
that the men who have the double bar
rel guns kiln about as many birds as
those with the repeating kind. IL
such a bill passed persons owning the
modern guns would practically have
to dispose Of them
Representative Moore suggested
that the best way to protect the birds
would be to get the man behind the
guns Limit their bag. he said, was
the best way to do it.
