The Sex of the Insane

or approximately every five hun
dred persons in the United States in
1910, there was one an inmate of an
insane asylum. The exact figures ex-
pressed in recent report Of the Cen
sus Bureau, state that in a typical
community of 100000 persons, equally
divided as to sex, 208 of the males
and 200 of the females would be found
In the insane asylums. In the course
of year, " males and 60 females
would be admitted to the asylums. In
1880 the total number of inmates in
insane asylums in the United States
included 20,635 males and 20,307 fe-
males. Thirty years later the number
of male inmates had increased to 49,
sos, and the number of female inmates
to 80,096 The excess of men among
admissions in 1910 indicated a still
further increase in the proportion,
namely, 1913 males to 100 females. An
analysis of these admissions as to the
specific forms of insanity involved
brings to light the interesting fact that
If alcoholic psychoss and general
paralysis are deducted, the proportion
of the sexes is practically the same.
The diseases mentioned would seem
to be those which. generally, are the
result of dissipation. Alcohol and
syphilis again established their super
iority as mans most dangerous allied

yer to protect his property and alsc
Hubbard himself Fowlie testified to
having himself suggested his buying
the weapon. Told of the precautions
taken as to guarding poultry from
thieves. there having been numerous
breaks in the localities where they
lived. First talked of purchasing
firearms in July. Deputy Sheriff
David Ellis of Oakland was called and
told of the excellent reputation which
Hubbard had in his home town. No
cross examination was then conducted
but later Mr. Ellis was recalled to
testify regarding an ancient gun which
Hubbard was said to have had in his
home. Mr.. Ellis stated that the gun
weighed 10 pounds and ten ounces and
deemed it seemingly pretty heavy to
shoot intruders, hence the necessity
of Mr.. Hubbard's purchasing revol-
yer for protection. Previous testi-
mony had indicated that the revolver
was only wanted to brighten people
with, and Attorney Pattangall brought
forth an idea that the huge old gun
would make noise enough when dis
charged to brighten any probable
plUOuPTeTS. fIltuuS diu i'iio"
workmen from Oakland gave evidence
that Hubbard was respected and
peace-loving citizen.
Mrs. Edith Millett of Oakland told
of boarding in the family. stating that

her husband.

of the Bavarian and Rhine regiments
the attack ended in complete defeat
