afternoon at the National Theater with
Beatrice Harrison, ccllist as soloist Miss
Harrison has received acclaim in other
cities, and when she won over Wash
ington yesterday afternoon she but
added to her admirers. She played
Tschaikowsky's Variations" on roco-
co theme. displaying a technical and
tonal mastery for which she was given
an ovation by the audience.
The symphony was Ropartz's fourth
in c major, played without a pause
The Washington music public who
heard this symphony for the iirst time
were little surprised and confused
neither pleased nor displeased some

when they obtained their first glimpses

This symphony is an extremely modern
work, therefore little weird. strange
and totally confusing. The widely DIFF

themes, were handled eXcellently by the
orchestra.
The concert opened with Goldmark's

ASKS PROTECTION
OF INSANE HERE
DR.. White Thinks Present Treat
ment of Weak.Minded in
Washington Is Unfair.

There is no excuse for any civilized
community treating its insane as Wash
ington does" according to DR.. William
A. White, who spoke before the wom-
ans department, National Civic Fedora
ton, at Rauscher's this emorning.
Here we make it easy for a person
with a broken limb to get treatment"
said Dr. White. An ambulance even
is sent for him But we place every bar
rier in the way of a broken minded
person getting treatment"
The method of commitment of insane
persons in Washington. Dr. White cX-
planned, is identical with that of crimi-
nails. They are charged" with insanity,
tried" for insanity before a jury, and.
when committed, lose all legal rights
just as does a criminal.
THE remedy for that" said the speak
er, lis to have a law providing for
commitment, by which a pat
lent may request treatment, or his rela-
tives or friends may make the request.
"All such cases SHOULD be handled
through the Health Department, and
failure to pass an appropriation for the
Gallnger Hospital was a loss to the sick
in mind because in that hospital it was
proposed to have Il psychiatric clinic
has no medical significance. 1t is a
legal term. Aside from its hardship
on the individuals who must stand trial
for insanity, Dr. White said the present
law kept many who needed treatment
from applying for it until their condi-
tion was extreme. In the meantime
he said. they suffered from cruelty and
neglect, because of the lack of knowl-
edge about insanity.
Our community of 5000 at the Gov
ernment hospital he said. lis more
orderly than the average community
Of that size. We do not use cells
or irons or any sort of restraint. hut
of course, we do not introduce saloons
and similar evils
DR.. White showed views of the cruel
methods formerly used in the treat
ment of the insane.
"One does not have to hunt through
history to find these" he said. MANY
instances OF sixteenth century meth
DDS survive in our supposedly enlight-
ened country
Next to a psychiatric clinic, and A
new commitment law, the city is badly
in need of some provision for segre-
eating its feeble-mnded, DR.. White
asserted The fact that these are now
free tends to increase the numbers
of this class in a marked degree.
