CARE OF |NEBR|ATES.
Advocacy of Appropriation for
District Asylum.
PENDING BILL ENDORSED
Committee of Citizens Appears Be-
fore House Committee-Measure
Favored by Commissioners.

Secretary Wilson of the board of chart
ties, DR.. ]. X. Gleeson and Charles c.
Lancaster appeared today before the
House committee on the District of Co.
lumbia to urge favorable report on the
bill to establish an asylum for inebriates
in the District The Columbia Heights
Citizens Association was represented by
DR.. Gleeson and Mr.. Lanca ster.
Chairman Johnson wanted to know how
many patients such hospital would
have. DR.. GIeeson didn't know. Secre-
tary Wilson remarked that there were
about 200 habitual drunkards in the Dis
trict and that about % per cent of this
number could be cured the first year such
a hospital was in operation.
Sentiment of Commissioners.
The Commissioners" said Secretary
Wilson. 'are in favor Of some plan for
the care of inebriates. Drunkenness is
not crime in the District.
Only this morning / was called up by a
police officer who said that woman had
phoned him that her son was home drunk
again and raising hades The woman
does not want her son arrested and sent
to the wOrkhOuSe. but she was willing to
consent to his confinement in an asylum
where he could secure medical attention.
mere Is IL Crying ncPU IOT Il nOSfnt al
for inebriates in the District You can
not treat drunkards at their home in pri-
vate practice.
You need an institution where they
may be confined and given medical at
tention while they recover from the drink
or drug habit. Otherwise the workhouse
is the ultimate end of the habitual
drunkard."
Opposition was expressed by all three
witnesses to locating the proposed hos
pital on the District Jail reservation
They claimed that this would be bad
plan, 1t is desired to remove the
ha bitual drunkard from all criminal as
ISOLATION while cure is being effected.
No Objection to Amendment.
Replying to Chairman Johnsons crit
icism to that feature of the bill which
places the control of salaries under the
proposed board of trustees, DR.. Gleeson
said:
You may amend the bill in any way
you see fit We do not know how many
nurses and attendants will be required,
for it is impossible to estimate the
number of patients until the Institution
is actually opened and in operation.
The number of employees and their sal
aries of necessity had to be fixed by
some one, and somehow, SO we sug
gested a board of trustees
1t is expected that the committee will
take action on the bill Friday.

An ex-Parisian, an enthusiastic fan,
now resident of Hamilton, Ohio,
sends us the following tribute to Joe
Lewis, the Bour bonite's new manager
Hamilton, Ohio. January 10. 1912.
Dear Friend-I was very glad to
hear that Paris has signed such good
manager for 1912
81 saw Joe Lewis many times when
the Marion club came here to play the
Hamiltons last year. He is pitcher
about the size of Winchell. the old
Paris favorite, and believe me he's
some pitcher. The Marion club finish
ed second in the Ohio State League
race. They had fine team but lost
much money on account of poor attend
ance. This also kept Lewis from win
ming the pennant. | also heard that he
was going to sign some former Marion
players for the Paris team. That
ought to be good news for the fans of
Paris as every player, almost, en- the
club was a star.
tHoping that Paris wins the pen
nant in 1912 | remain your friend.
