Robinson Says Museum Helped
Lord Carnarvon without
Hope of Return.

The Metropolitan Museum would not
confirm yesterday the report that New
York will get share OF the treasures
discovered in the recent excavations Of
Lord Carnarvon in the Valley OF the
Kings in Egypt. Edward Robinson, di-
rector OF the museum. issued state
ment last night IN which he made il
alear that in rendering aid TO the Egyp-
tian Government and to Lord Carnar-
von's staff the museum only acted in the
interest of archaeology and not through
any idea Of obtaining part Of the
relics for New York.
His statement follows:
'I know nothing about the suggested
gift to the Metropolitan Museum of OBJ

Ankhamen except what / have seen in
the newspapers. In the correspondence
between Lord Carnarvon and the mu-
scum in which he asked and received
assurance OF the help OF tho staff OF
our institution in the prodigious task
of preserving. removing and recording
the contents of the tomb there has been
no allusion on either side TO the possibil-
ity Of such a gift. and our assistance
was promised without any expectation
Of such return and with no condition
attached to our agreement.
What disposition is to be made OF
this unique and marvellous treasure is
a matter to be decided entirely between
Lord Carnarvon and the Government OF
Egypt, and the Metropolitan Museum OF

The Commissioner statement was

the administration building in Bellevue,
where 500 to 400 patients are lodged, is
a fire trap. Mr.. Coler said:
"The conditions either at Bellevue
Hospital psychopathic ward or at Kings
County Hospital are nothing new. They
have only been getting more complicated,
since under the law we are compelled to
put insane, alcoholics and drug addicts
in the same buildings. The Board of
Trustees at Bellevue Hospital until very

The law, however. governing the com
nitment of insane is worse than tho

to my mind to be compelled TO determine
within ten days whether a person is In

There should be change In the law

From 20 to 80 per cent. of the per-

insane, according TO Bird S. Coler,
Commissioner OF Public Welfare.
In statement issued yesterday
urging new hospital buildings Mr..
Coler said he considered it inhuman to
try to determine i'll ten days whether
a person is insane or not. Ten days
is the period fixed by law.
Mr.. Coler said he and DR.. Menas
S. Gregory, head OF the psychopathic
ward, have consulted Supreme Court
Justice Dowling about framing an
amendment ito give a person threat
ened or charged with insanity as much
chance for his life as the ordinary

The Commissioner believes that with
proper facilities the city might save

stitutions and as many more nervous
persons from insane asylums in three or
four years.
