Des Moines, June 6.-The peculiar
case of man who became suddenly
dumb after being arrested and charged
with crime and who continued in this
state for five months, when he ap-
peared to come to himself just as sud-
denly as he had lost his senses, was
discussed by DR.. R G. Eaton, assist
ant superintendent Of the hospital at
Cherokee at the quarterly conference
of the heads Of state institutions held
in the board of control rooms today.
The man was arrested on the charge
of embezzling considerable money and
jewelry from the American Express
Company. He disappeared suddenly
from his place Of employment and was
next heard Of about 1000 miles away
embarking on new enterprise. When
he was arrested and charged with the
crime he became suddenly dumb and
appears to have had what the experts
term a total amnesia" for about five
months. While he was in that state
he was confined in the hospital and
the attendants tried q number of
things to arouse him. One night while
he was sleeping a huge pile of bricks
were allowed to fall near his bed with
a Gathering noise but he did not
awaken. Similar tests were made both
while he was asleep and awake but
none of them seemed to arouse him to
himself. After about five months Of
this he came to all at once. But he
denies, having any knowledge of the
theft of goods which took place two
months before his arrest.
Discusses Feeble Minded.
4 DR.. George Mogridge, superintendent
of the Iowa institution for feeble
minded children at GIenwood, gave a
resume of the present knowledge in
regard to feeble minded persons. He
spoke of the numbers at large, and
called attention to the dangers of their
presence in any community. He stated
that the high grade feeble minded, or
socalled morons, if mated, would pro-
sduce an average family of seven as
against a family of normal people OF
four, showing they are much more pro-
4ific. He spoke of the relation of
feeble mindeaness to insanity, epilepsy,
crime and pauperism, drunkenness
and prostitution.s He argued that. it
would be good public policy and in the
interests Of political economy If all
the feeble minded were segregated i'll
institutions or colonies. fSh Is
3 He called attention to the generally
accepted theory that the corrupt
fruits of mental degeneracy in a coma
rnunity will disappear in proportion to
.the redpftion Of feeble minded snsthat,
and that the most urgent
need in the work Of reducing degen--
eracy is the elimination Of the feeble
minded"

the interested crowd at Canton Hollow
are yet found impudent enough to main
tain before the Legislature Of Maryland,
in the face Of the facts and figures shown
in the Comptroller's reports for all these
years, that the supply of oysters liz on
the increase, and the quality is excellent,
when every intelligent, practical man, or
student Of the subject knows that we are
scraping up the bay now to get annually
less than one-ffth OF the product yielded

valuable than ,Ae land Of Rhode Island.
If this land of ours is only of equal value
to Rhode Island land, and were managed
in the same way the Rhode Island people
manage theirs, it would yield in a very
short time an annual net revenue Of $40
900. This Calvert County land is less than
one-tenth in area of our oyster lands.
(See Rhode Island Report of 1915. p. A.
Strange to say. the Wilson Bill passed
the Senate by a vote Of twenty one to one.
In my zeal for the oystermen, and for n

it took up natural bars; second, allowed
corporations to lease; and third, gave no
preferences to the oystermen. ~(See Balti-

bIl to lease natural rocks to corpor-
ations without any preference to oyster
men received the favorable vote amongst
others of Senators Applegarth, of Dor.
chester Dashiell. of Somerset. Foxwell, of
Kent. and Kirwan {! y of Queen Anne's.
After this statement Of the record, will
not any Easternshoreman be ashamed to
say in future that I have been in favor OF
leasing natural rocks?
