State Charities Head Wants
Institution Officials to be Best

TRENTON, Aug. 14:-State Com
missioner of Charities and Correc-
lions Burdette G. Lewis today issued
a statement declaring that the ex-
ecutive committee of the State Board
of Charities has adopted a rule pro-
viding hat local boards of managers
of state hospitals for the insane and
for feeble minded and e~pileptics
shall confne their choice in selecting
chief executive officers 10 those who
have had medical training SUFFICIENT
to qualify them as leaders in their
profession.
This ruling Is believed TO have a
bearing on the situation at the Tren-
ton State Hospital where DIR. Henry
A. Cotton and some OF his assistant
doctors have resigned because a lay
man. Samuel T. Atchiey. was made
head OF the institution.
Lewts's statement says IL Is be-
lieved thai this situation can be ad-
iusted 70 the satisfaction Of all con-
cerned. The statement also opposes
dual management of institutions
which was formerly in order at the
Trenton hospital with Atchley in
charge as warden and Cotton as med
ical director.

Jap Leader In Russia
Is Fighter of Old School

WASHINGTON. Aug. 14-At the
Japanese embassy. there is much
nodding of heads and smiling at
the mention of Gen. Kikuzo Otani's
name-which is the embassy's way of
saying what a fine man the ranking
officer of the Allies Russian expedi-
ton really is.
Gen. Otani is regarded as one
of the most brilliant officers in the
Japanese army. qualified by tempera-
ment and experience to lead the
forces which are going to the aid OF
the Russian people.
In plain American. he would be
called a soldier of the old school"
He is essentially a fighter. AS a
member of the Army Council, he has
a responsible share in the delibera-
ton of Japan's supreme military
body. He was summoned to that
duty from Tsien-Chiaow, where he
was governor general.
To visualize him. think of a sturdy.
straightforward person with q Fred
Funston Jaw and a Marse Henry
Watterson mustache. The mustache
is gray. Gen Otani has just passed
his ~sixty-second year. But he is as ac-
tive as a Junior subaltern.
As leader OF the japanese. army
In the Russian expedition he will
cover more or less familiar ground.
He was a brigade commander in the
Russo -Japanese war. It Is not felt
here, however, that there will be any
r~esentful memoir among the Slavs
because of that former connection.
In the war between China and
Japan 20 years ago. Otani was chief
of staff. He has a splendid record of
efficiency, having come up through
the ranks from a second lieutenancy
his rank when he graduated from
the Military Academy. Toxic, SO
Years ago. He was made a full gem
erai two years ago.
In his capacity as ranking officer.
he will be In close touch with the
commanders of the various allied
armies composing the expedition. Of
fcials of the Japanese embassy say he
will in every way fulfill the exactions
