ROOM
IS SUGGESTED
A. Seaman Wants Insane
DRINKS Taken to Hospital.

Following the hot criticism heap
ed upon City Physician M. S. Mem
ger at police headquarters yesterday
afternoon, Alderman F. A. Seaman
issued a statement today in which he
made several suggestions as to the
handling Of insane drunkards. He
went to the root of the evil and blam-
ed saloonkeepers for making delir-
fum tremens patients by selling liq-
uors to drunkards. He suggested
that ar excise board be elected which
will break the license of every sa-
loonkeeper who sells intoxicating
drink to a drunkard. In that way he
expected the number of alcoholic
mania cases could be kept down
and the cost for their care proper
tionately.
The alderman's first suggestion as
to handling insane drunkards, was
to have a padded room fitted up at
the city hospital. He would have this
done at the expense of the city and
have 1t pay SO a day for attendance
up to two weeks. He stated further,
If the city is to pay for commitments
to the State Hospital for the Insane
at CiiLoh, ! q w phy VIZ
are paid salaries by the city, whom
he would let treat patients and thus
save the city from the accusation of
having so many insane patients sent
to Trenton.
Statement In Full.
Mr.. Seaman's state ment follows:
TO THE EVENING NEWS:
AS yoh had an item in the NEWS
of Monday about sending patients to
the Insane Asylum at Trenton, and
gave views as coming from me, 1t
seems only fair that ! should make a
plain statement of the question as l
understand 1t. Quite a number Of
men have been committed to Trenton
to the asylum as insane. AS I am
informed, they had alcoholic mania,
which In plain terms means delirium
tremens. Now the question is, should
the city fasten the stain of being
insans on such men or should
we find a way to take care Of them
for two weeks for treatment and. If
they are beyond treatment, send
them to Trenton? But, we surely
should be able to take care Of delir-
ium tremens and give them an op-
portunity to get straight and go to
work; without the stain Of insanity
fastened on them.
am informed there are a number
of these cases that have been sent
out from Trenton in a short time and
are at work again. Have l any sug-
gestion to offer? Yes, have the city
fit up a padded room at the hospital
and pay the hospital SO a day for
attendance up to two weeks. You
say the hospital has no room Of that
kind then let the city build n at
the hospital and fit 1t up properly.
Certainly the police station is not a
proper place, as it lacks ventilation
and policemen can not furnish proper
food.
Another suggestion? Yes, If the
city Is to pay for these commitments.
we have two physicians in the employ
of the city, one as city physician, and
one for the Board of Health. Let
them treat these men and save the
city from the accusation of having
so many insane patients sent to
Trenton.
One more suggestion. Let US go to
he cause of this trouble. Elect an
Excise Board who well break the IL
cense of every saloon that sells any
intoxicating drink to a drunkard,
and stop making delirium tremens

noon yesterday by an automoblle

swollen knee, which the attending
physician, DR.. G. W. Tyrrell, states
will entirely recover. According TO
eye-witnesses, the boy was riding a

If one Of our physicians is angry
at me for holding the above views,
am sorry, but as a member Of the
Board of Aldermen, l have tried to
use what brains / have for the bene-
At of the city.
have said nothing about the cost.
In all probability 1t will cost the city
as much one way as the other until
the saloons are put under pressure
to stop selling to drunkards..
One more thought. This question
Ia a hard one to handle, and we have
simply drifted along any old way. |
suppose I as as much at fault as any
one. 1t seems time we woke up and
tried to better than drift.

Subject Much Discussed.
The subject of cost for disposing
Of insane persons has been a much

tee meetings the past few months.

of the recent committee meetings or

fathers questioned the authority or

Following that case the aldermen set
to work along lines of establishing
definite means of handling the sub

INDUSTRIAL WAR ABOUT

Manchester. Eng, Jan. 17.-Proposals
made to employers and workers at the
cotton trade conference by Sir George
Askwith, representing the board of
trade, appear likely TO put an end to
the industrial war which has been
SC costly to both sides.
The suggestions of Sir George Ask

each side can maintain its principles
without injuring the rights OF the
other. Neither side, under the terms
Of the proposals, shall be entitled to
take action on the question of the
employment of non-unionists which
shall involve the stoppage Of the ma
chinery of the mills without giving six
months written notice. Should the
provisional settlement be agreed to,
the mills will reopen on January %
The three weeks stoppage of the
mills has cost $50. 1000, 900. The opera

COTTON SEED CRUSHERS' ASSN.
LEANS MAY Fl AS PLANNED. .

Atlanta, May 11.-Word has been
received in Atlanta that the annual
meeting of the Inter State Cotton
Seed Crushers association, which was
to have been held in New Orleans on
May q, %, and %, has been post
poned on account of the terrible
flood conditions now prevailing in the
Mississippi valley. The executive
committee of this organization will
meet in a few days and will select
new dates for the convention and
will name the place of meeting.
The members of this organization
living in Georgia are being notified
airy hold-up of the arrangements,
which We're being made with the
West Point route for the operation
of a special train to the convention
city, which would carry the Georgia
members, who are always represent

Officers of the association, realizing
the terrible conditions existing
throughout the Mississippi valley, in
which so many members are living,
felt that now is not the time for call
ing these members to a meeting and
that it would be better to postpone
this gathering until conditions in
that section are better.
| Luckily, the crushing season is over
and practically all of the oil mills
have closed down for the season and,
hence, little cessation of operations
is caused to the mills, themselves,
by these floods, but the damage to
the planters, who are supplying the
mills with seed for crushing, is almost
incalculable
