Fairbanks, Dec. 13-U. S. Mar shal Erwin returned to this city yes terday and is authority for the state ment that the governmen plans to abandon the two detnetion hospitals in the territory. It is stated that the cost of maintenance at Nome an Fairbanks is consideredd excessive and that the attorney general will not recommend an appropriation of $17,50O for the Nome hospital, as it is considered too high and that rather than do that the old method of caring for insane persons, by con lining them in wards at the govern ment jails will be resorted to.
 Marshal Erwin states that he has assured the department that he can run the Fairbanks detention hospital for not more than half the amount asked for by the Nome marshal and that he has succeeded in having the attorney general reconsider the mat ter of abandoning the two hospitals.
 The hospitals have just been com pleted and are for the purpose of providing a fit place in which may be kept the poor unfortUnates who are committed to the asylum, and who cannot be taken out during the season of the breakup or after the close of navigation until the trails to the coast is opened and the stage are running.

Keeping itself apart from politics. Sec

shown last week when president Wilson

TO break ali other engagements. presided
personally at the annual meeting OF the
organization. President Wilson succe ed

Home nursing and hygiene-This has
been continued and will be extended as
experience points out the best methods of

Tuberculosis work-Another important
activity OF the Red Cross consists in the
raising of funds to aid in the study and
prevention of tuberculosis. this through

of Columbia and in all the states except
PENNSYLVANIA. There are also insular
boards in Porto Rico and the Philippines,
making fifty in all. The principal duties
of these boards are to give notice of the
occurrence of disasters. to collect money
and to receive relief funds. There are
sixty Red Cross chapters i'm all. with an
active membership of 9,l41, which report

Gen. Davis, in his last report. pointed
out that not year passes that expert
ence does not Indicate some new field of
activity or show that existing m ans and
measures require change OF readjust-
ment. No doubt this condition will con-
tinue. and year by year the functions OF
the Red Cross will be modified and ex-
tended as experience points the way.
Gen. Davis also announced that so
numerous are the calls upon the national
director for relief work in widely sep
arated localities, and so urgent are the
reasons why the local chapters should
be strengthened and new ones esta blish-
ed. that it has been decided to employ
four assistants to the national director.
1t is proposed to have a local director in
each Of the four great geographical re-
gons into which the country can be seq
regated." A special yearly contribution
of 5000 has been given for this purpose
by Cleveland II. Dodge of New York.
