MADE BIG PROFIT FOR STATE
Purely Business Argument for the Es-
tabIIshmert Of sanltorIums for
tho Tuberculosis.

According to figures contained in the
annual report Of DR.. H. L. Barnes, su-
perintendent of the Rhode Island state
sanitorium, the earnings Of the ex-
patients of that institution during the
year 1911 would amount to over $780,
300. This is a sum three times as
arge as that spent each year for main
enance of the institution, including
our per cent. interest and deprecia-
ion charges.
The actual earnings in 1911 Of ITO
Dx-patients were obtained by DR..
Barnes. These ranged from 50 to
b31 per week, the total earnings for
he year amounting to $102.752. On
his basis, DR.. Barnes computes the
figures above given. He says, how
ever: while institutions for the cure
Of tuberculosis are good Investments,
here is good reason for thinking that
institutions for the isolation of far
advanced cases would be still better
Investments"
Out of total Of 46,450 hospital days
treatment given, 39,147, or "a per
cent, were free, the treatment costing
the state on an average 5000 per pa
tient. Out Of the 1873 free cases investi-
gated. Sc had no families and no in
come on admission to the sanitorium.
Out Of 1872 patients having homes. the
number in the family averaged 52, and
the average family earnings were
b.46. In 50 cases the families had no
Income. and in only five cases were
there any savings. none Of which
amounted to as much as 500.

p. o. APPROPRIATION BILL sHoRN
OF HIGHWAY IMPROVE
MENT MEASURE.
PARCELS POST Revived
RECOMMENDED sRo AND 4TH
CLASS MAIL MATTER BE CON-
BINED FOR PARCELS POST.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-The postoffice appro
priation bill, shorn OF the good roads
provision, proposed by the House, and
embracing a revised parcels post sys-
TEN, which charges based on zones Of
distance, has been reported to the SEN
ate by the postoffice committee. The
total appropriations proposed are more
than those of the House measure
which carried approximately 100000,
900. One of the principal increases is
the pay of railroads for transporting
mails, the Senate adding more than
$2,500,000.
In striking out for federal improve.
ment of highways. the committee rec.
ommends an investigation by special
congressional committee and provides
for no highway improvements until
this commission has reported.
The parcels post section in the
House bill provided for flat rate of
postage for all distances. Senator
Bourne recommends that third and
fourth class mail matter be combined
for the parcels post service; but the
bill makes the parcels post apply to
fourth class matter.
The Senate committee struck out OF
the House bill the provision giving to
postal employees the right to combine
in labor unions and the right to Pc
tltion Congress for redress.
Steel cars for mail service required
by the House bill to be In universal
use by American railroads by 1917,
also are required by the Senate bill,
giving the roads one year OF grace and
then require them to replace twenty
five per cent OF their cars each year
for four years.

SHEPHERD MEANS TO
CONTINUE "SWEAT-BOX"

Prosecutor Hugh Shepherd, reply
ing TO criticism of Attorneys James

sweat box" methods OF the prosecu-
tion in The case OF Lorenzo Frabotta,
theft client, on trial on a charge OF
homicide in Judge Connolly's court,
told The Times. Tuesday morning,
that the sweat box" plan was going
to continue.
What We do with the prisoners
when we bring them in here for a
statement" said the prosecutor, is
nothing but what is perfectly legal
We simply ask them for a statement
n they choose to make II voluntarily,
all we'll and good; II not, that settles
Il. We use no force of any kind on
them Moreover. we advise them first
of all that anything they say may be
used against them at the trial. This
method has proved effective since I
have been prosecutor, having helped
to convict at least two tried on homi-
eide charges. The taking OF state
ments at the time of the tragedy, from
all parties concerned in it, shuts OF
the chances of the defense to later
fix up fake alibi.
