VISITED POOR FARMS IN STATE AND
DESCRIBES CONDITIONS FOUND
AT ONE OF THEM.


WANAllACHIE, Texas, Feb. ia
distressing picture of the condition of
the insane i'll Texas. as he found them
on tour of the state institutions. was
given by Dr. Thomas w. Salmon of New
York neurologlst of the Rockefeller
Foundation, before the annual conven-
ton of the Texas County Judges and
Commissioners Association, here today.
DIR. Salmon bases his report upon IA
personal study ol the insane in Texas
made during October and November,
I9l5; one of a series of state surveys for
the care of the insane, undertaken by
the National Committee for Mental
Hygiene, an organization composed of
PROMINENT ;aienists, phlanth. .Ppists
and social workers. DIR. Salmon was
formerly chairman of the New York
State Board of Alienists, and is con
sidered an authority ON the care of the
insane and the administration of chari
table institutions.
DIR. Salmon said in part:
5,I6I Patients Found.
"On August 81, 1915, there were i'm
three state institutions for the insane in
Texas, only 5,l6l patients. At the end
of the preceding year there were 1901.

of new buildings at the Southwestern

Indianapolis Man From
Under Train Wheels.

The life OF AL p. Smith, a promi-
nent lawyer Of the firm of Smith.
Remster. HOrnbrook & Smith, was
saved at the Kokomo junction OF
the L. Z. & w. railroad at o'clock
last night when he was pulled from
under the wheels Of a moving train
by LinwOOd Coleman, a Pullman
porter living at the corner of CO.
lum bia av. and Sixteenth st. in IN
dianapOlis. Coleman preceded Smith
in getting off the train, having
Smiths grip in one hand and a stool
in the other. As the Indianapolis
attorney lost his balance and slipped
under the wheels. the frightened
porter dropped both the bag and
stool and jerked Mr.. Smith out from
under the front trucks of the Pull
man car.
Mr.. Smith. in company with Fred
erick r. Matson. former corporation
council OF the city of Indianapolis,
and a party of South Bend business
men were coming north on the l.. E.

leaving the train at the junction.
The porter had barely time to catch
the rear steps Of the moving train
after making the rescue and in his
haste left his stool in Kokomo. When
Coleman climbed over the gate on
the rear end OF the Pullman he
had Mr. Smiths hat on his head.
an incident which he was unable
TO explain, unless in pulling the law
yer from under the train by the
head the hat came of in the porter's
hands.
A message received later from
Mr.. Matson in response to an in
quiry by the l.. K. & w. train crew,
announced that the only injury suf-
fered by Mr.. Smith were a scratch
