RIDOUT LEAVES WELLER.
Change of Front Causes Apprehension
for Anne Arundel.

DR.. John Ridout's jump from Weller
the Warburton bandwagon is said to
have started serious trouble for the
chairman of the State Roads Commits
sion in Anne Arundel county.
The trouble is so serious that some
people fear Mr.. Weller may lose the
county's vote in his fight for the Re
publican nomination for Governor un-
less immediate steps are taken to rem
edy the situation
About August 3, DR.. Ridout, who is
chairman of the Republican State Cen
tral Committee for the county. called a
meeting of that body. at which he ex-
pressed his intention of supporting Mr.
Weller. One other member of the com
mittee requested the advisability of the
committee lining up at that date, but
DR.. Ridout insisted upon an immediate
Endorsement of Mr. Weller's candidacy.
Later DR.. Ridout swung in behind Mr.
Warburton and on a handbill display
ed in Baltimore a few days ago he is
advertised as manager of the Warbur-
ton campaign in that section.

HANOVER ST. BRIDGE
RAPIDLY TAKES FORM.
Some Idea May Now be Had Of How
the Big Span viii Look

AT last enough progress has been
made on the Hanover street bridge, un-
der construction by the State Roads
Commission, TO give the layman a fair
idea of how it will look when compile
ted, which will not be until some time
next summer.
The arcade on the north end of the
bridge is nearly finished. and half of
the first arch on the south end is un-
der constructin with the framework up.
while the concrete is being poured on
the superstructure at the south end OF
the draw and the steel work Of onearch
near the north end is up.
The work now shows the great
height OF the bridge. compared with the
old structure at Ferry Bar and the
bridge which is being built across the
main branch Of the Patapsco from the
Anne Arundel county shore TO Balti-
more county. This latter bridge viii
be the first completed. Some idea of
the job may be gained by some of the
figures of the estimated amount of ma
terials TO be used. On the main bridge
the concrete will aggregate 129,740c u
bic yards and into this will go 77S.74o
bags of cement besides the sand and
gravel The steel bars TO reinforce the
concrete will weigh 1,350.000 pounds
and the structural framework support
ing the concrete arches will weigh
including the draw, 4,404 500 pounds.
OF this the steel in the draw will
amount to 100000 pounds, while in
addition there will be 10000 pounds
of machinery And this great weight
will be supported by S69,S75 linear feet
OF piles, some of which go down nearly
100 feet below the surface of the water

found idiot. Some may be made self

stances, The success in teaching this
class depends upon patience. the ap-

and at frequent intervals.

Eve do not recommend the meth
dds Of extinction for the unfit who
are among US as practiced by the
older nations, but the adoption of
methods of prevention, and the re-
turn to a simpler life with less com
plexities. With this elimination Of
harmful influences we should have
such selection in mating as shall in
sure only the survival of the fittest,"
said DR.. L. ". Guthrie, superintend-
ent OF the West Virginia State hos
pital in an address delivered before
the West Virginia Charities and Cor
rection Conference at Wheeling re-
Gently. DR.. Guthrie attended the
conference as the personal represen-
tative of Governor H. D. Hatfield, in
whose place he spoke, His subject
was State Care of Detectives"
In the course Of his address DR..
Guthrie traced the history Of the at
titude of society towards detectives,
from the ancient days in which the
defective minded individual was CON
sidered an object for avoidance and
persecution down through the time
in which monasteries were establish
ed for their protection and finally to
the era in which the state has come
to look upon such cases as deserving
Of its care.
Until recently said DR.. Guthrie,
"the mental defective in West vir-
ginia was cared for exclusively, when
a public charge, in the various coun-
ty infirmaries Of the state, with the
exception Of few who have been
Improperly and Illegally committed
to the hospitals for, the insane.
1.-THE legislature of 1897 founded
the asylum for incurables at Hunt
ington, and directed that the idiot
and imbecile should be admitted to
that institution, but such a large
class of other incurables and per-
sons suffering with chronic diseases
were made eligible that 1t was found
impracticable at that time to proceed
with the institution as originally in
tended. This Institution was the
first organized effort made on be-
half Of the mental defective by West
Virginia, and is known as the Hunt
ington state hospital.
Dr.. Guthrie then discussed the
causes of idiocy, predominant among
which he declares heredity to stand
out. He states that this factor. is
variously estimated by different au-
thorities to produce from sixty-five to
eighty per cent Of these cases.
Among other causes he mentions al
coholisni on the; part hof the par
ents. either or both, Ill health OF the
mother before the birth Of the child,
tedious or prolonged labor or in
turies received at birth. Authori-
ties ON this subject place this. one
cause alone at as high as fourteen
per cent.
DR.. Guthrie takes the position that

iditions under discussiqt dec
