Asylums for Afflicted.

Aust n. Texas. April 1.-THE ques-
tiou as TO what disposition shall be
made Of the insane now IN the county
lails of Texas was discussed at con-
ference held by governor Ferguson
with a delegation Of county health Of
ficers This delegation consisted OF
county health officers D. Berry, OF

governor that there are approximately
800 insane persons confined IN the
county jails and unable TO obtain ad-

and the epileptic colony at Denton will
not give them shelter because they are

unfortunates or that provision be made
TO take care OF that unfortunate class.
Beper Colony Needed.
The delegation also discussed with
the governor the question Of the es-
adjustment Of a leper colony. During
the Campbell administration an act was
passed creating a commission TO locate
and establish such a colony. A point
on Galveston island was suggested and
recommended. but there was so much
opposition to the plan that ia was
abandoned Several other sites, even
lar into the western portion Of the
state " ere recommended. but the peo-
pie living close to thes proposed sites
protested and the plan was finally
abandoned The governor said that
the question Of the establishment Of a.
colony was again being aEitated. and
would give the matter consideration.

Several provisions Of the naval

ter 10 the recommendation Of Secre-
tary Daniels. The committee had pre-
viously approved legislation abolishing

vance of the enactment OF personnel
legislation. The committee also over
rode the Secretary when II authorized
an advance in grade for warrant OFF,
GERS and created the ranks OF admiral
and vice-admiral without making those
ranks permanent. The committee pro-
poses merely that the commanders OF
The three fleets shall have the rank OF
admiral but these officers retain the
higher rank only so long as they re-
main i'm charge of the respective fleets.
The Secretary desired the creation OF
the permanent ranks of admiral and
vice-admiral Of the navy.
Daniels Gets Naval Reserve.
The final disregard of the Secre-
tary's programme came To-Day Win
radical increase in the authorizations
for the building programme. How
ever, the committee agreed with Secre-
tary Daniels in his bill for the crea-
ton of a naval reserve.
Representative Roberts, a minority
member of the House Committee, eN-
pressed qualification to-day over the
building increase authorized.
1T is progressive, constructive
step toward an adequate navy" said
Mr.. Roberts. THE authorization for a
large number of submarines is espe-
ciaily commendable, for the use Of
these vessels in the European war has
demonstrated their effectiveness and
we should have had more of them all
along. A point in dispute during the
debate probably will be whether we
should continue to build battleShips II
the submarine can destroy them. On
the whole, however. the naval bill is a
good one and is really a constructive
measure"

programme the committee voted previ.
