LAY BEDFORD EVILS
TO OVERCROWDINC
Investigators Say Girl In
mates Should Have
Separate Rooms.

Congestion Of population Is blamed
for most OF the evils in the New York
State Reformatory for Women at Bed
ford Hills by the special committee OF
the State Board of Charities, which
has completed its investigation Of the
home. The report was adopted at a
meeting held here yesterday.
At the same time, the committee,
which consisted Of Comm ssioners
Stephen Smith, J. Richard Kelvin and
Thomas NJ. Mulry, does not entirely
exonerate the board of managers of the
reformatory No rules or regulations
were adopted for the government OF
the institution, IL says, and the man
ayers did not regularly visit and in
spect the home.
The inquiry was begun after DR..
Rudolph 7. Diedling, Of the State
Prison Commission, had made report
on the Bedford Home. Not one OF the
girl inmates was called TO testify, al
though Dr.. Diodliug's charges We 9
based on stories told by them. In the
course of the hearing James Wood,
president of the board of managers,
threatened to resign, but the commls-
sioners told him they believed he had
done his best, and ne said he would
probably stay on for a year
In the report the investigators point
out that more than 500 inmates had
been housed in an institution intended
TO accommodate 400. No determined
effort 10 reduce the population was
made until after the investigation
started. To-day there are All women
in the home. The committee urges
that magistrates exercise more care IN
their commitments.
The practice Of making white and
nero women room together, q rule
established by DR.. Katharine 3. DAVIS
while she was superintendent at BED
ford. il censured by the committee.
while we make no OBJ ectlOn 70 TINS
because of the color line. IT Is IN
doubtedly true that most undesirable

solete cell construction. poorly lighted
and ventilated and dangerous In the
event of fire. Inmates should not be
kent in this insufiiciently heated
prison, nor should they be allowed 20
live two in a room.
Another practise instituted by Nj 3
Davis. that of admitting feeble-mlnded
inmates, who constitute now % per
cent OF the population, is condemned.
A comparatively small part OF the
rcport is devoted TO the charges or
cruelty which started the investiga-
tion
THE committee does not find that
any intentional cruelty has been in

lion. although II does believe mis-
taken use has been made Of the disci-

NO CIRCUS IN BOWL
Yale Authorities Favor Greek
Play Instead.

New Haven, Conn. March 1O-At-
tcmpts to obtain the Yale Bowl for
circus day in New Haven have been
vetoed by the Yale athletic authorities.
Everard Thompson, manager Of
Yale's athletic property, said tonight
that two reasons prevented Yale from
granting the request of circus owners
to make the Bowl their headquarters
while in New Haven-frst, danger to
the turf from the feet of the animals
on exhibition, and second, the policy
of Yale not to permit it's property TO
be leased for such purposes.
Granville Barker, the London theat-
rical producer, hes just completed an
investigation Of the Bowl with view
70 producing a Greek play in it next
May. The Yale authorities favor this;
project. and it is likely to be carried
out The plan for John Mccormack
to tsing IN the Bowl has been aban-
doned. Examination of the Bowl by
Mccormack and Barker proved that
its acoustic properties are remarkably
fine.

P. S. HEADS SILENT,
BUT STUDY REPORT
Commissioners Won't Deny
Story of designations to Save
Mccall and Williams.

Members of the Public Service Com
mission spent much time yesterday
reading the full report of the Thomp-
son investigating committee, copies OF
which were received by an early mail,
and in trying 10 learn by long distance
telephone and otherwise just how the
situation at Albany affected them.
They agreed to say nothing for pub
LEGATION either about the report or the
story in an afternoon paper that four
commissioners, whose terms had not
expired. had been asked for their
RESERVATIONS with the understanding
that those Of Chairman Mccall and
commissioner Williams would not be
accepted.
Persons in the Offices Of the commits,
sion intimated that they had heard
the story.
Chairman Mccall said he had not
seen William Hayward, counsel to the
Governor and to the investigating com
mittce. since the hearings here were
CONNECTED. According to the story, Mr.
HAYWARD was in this city last week
for the purpose Of inducing the com
missioners to hand in their resIgna-
lions.
Commissioner Williams would neither
affirm nor deny that there was any
basis for the story. Mr.. Williams was
quoted as having said to a friend;
81 understand | am TO be placed on
trial for neglect of duty. Just what
procedure would be followed IN such a
case | do not know. But | will say
this: If am going down | will so
down fighting with the hags flying,
Those familiar with the attitude o.
the commissioners assert that none oil
them has the slightest intention oil re-
signing.
81 have made up my mind to say
nothing about any phase OF this sltua,
ton" declared Chairman Mccall
grimly. !,
Asked If he would not issue de-
fence Of his conduct IN reply 10 the
osnorsiors cast upon il in the commit
tee report, the chairman replied:
81 shall not do so unless 1t appears
later than such action is necessary.

Beaten with Rubber Hose.

The case is that of Barney Feeney,
an understood weak-minded inmate of
the institution, who died on May 16
1914, two days after he had been Sc
verely beaten with o rubber hose by
an orderly, according 10 the evidence
in the hands of Commissioner Kings
bury.
The afldavits Of two former en-
ployes of the hospital. who, swear they
were eyewitnesses Of the beating and
death of the patient, were turned over
to the District Attorney yesterday
One affidavit WAS obtained several
months ago, but il was not until Tues
day that the Commissioner secured the
corroboTative testimony of the other
cmploye. which warranted him in pre-
sentiug the evidence 10 the District At
torney.
The records at the institution Of the
Feency case have evidently dlsap-
pcarcd Repeated requests for the
ward book and medical chart, in which

cd at the time as ian epileptic sciz-
ure." though the patient had never
been known to be subject TO epileptic
fits, as is set forth in the afidavits
by the former employees.
The records in the coroner's Office
show that an inquest into the death OF
Fecney was held by Coroner Feinbere
July IS, 1914, and that the verdict was
that Feoney had come to his death by
cerebral henorrhage from frac-
tured skull that he received by falling
down a fight Of stairs.
Dr.. Leblanc was the coroners physi-
clan assigned to the case. There was
no record of an autopsy
