Assistant Secretary Thompson Of the

mend to Secretary Fisher what i'm
provements should be made.
He is not TO conduct any rigid in
vestiGation of the administration of DIR.
william A. White. superintendent. but
is rather to delve into the detail at the
asylum with a view of possibly being
able to aid in making the present ad-
ministration more efficient. SO il was
said at the Interior Department this

DIR. White, it is believed at the depart
ment. is doing all that he can be eX-
pected to do under the circumstances
with nearly 5000 insane people under his
charge and the facilities at hand for
caring for them not being thoroughly up
to-date in every particular. In view OF
recent agitation. however. growing out OF
escapes from the institution, Mr.. Thomp-
son is determined to look into the matter
with the purpose of doing all he can &c
ahate it by recommending to Secretary
Fisher just what improvements he shall
ask Congress to make in the work
Matters to Be Taken Up.
All Of the questions which have been
brought to public attention during the
past few weeks by reason of the es-
capes. such as the insecurity Of the
building where the criminal insane are
incarcerated. the employment of higher
priced attendants and others are to be
considered.
MIR. Thompson is now preparing to looi
over reports which have been filed by
DIR. White regarding affairs at the asy-
lum and by personal visits hopes to ac-
quaint himself more thoroughly with the
work.
The efficiency Of DIR. White, II Is pointed
out should not be doubted for a moment
but the belief at the department is tha
the opinions of two or more efficient mer
outside of the asylum government is es
ing out toward greater efficiency in han
ding the business administration of the
hospital are being considered.
Question Of New Equipment
The question of whether new and mod
ern equipment is not absolutely essentia
is to be looked into closely and it ma,
be the opinion of Mr.. Thompson Later
that new buildings should be provided
in place of those which have been in ust
for many years. If this is the case, it i.
said to be more than probable that Sec
rotary Fisher, after consideration, viii
place the matter before the Presiden

that something be done in the matter a
