 JET HEAVY FINES $2OO and Costs Handed Out By Judge Klett in
 Police Court

Two fines of s200 and costs each were handed out In the police court this morning by Judge Kett in the cases of two men. who were found guilty of violating the liquor laws.
 The first case was that of Thomas Bachetti of 2l3 Washington street. Sergeant William c. Hart and his vice squad visited 5achetti's house Saturday, and found several gallons of alcohol. The immediate arrest was brought about through the act of the police in stopping Patrick Col lins of Sexton street as he came out of the house and finding a pint milk bottle of liquor on his person. Col lins made an intellectual attempt to escape from Patrolman OMara but was caught by Patrolman Feeney be- fore he could get away.
 Bachetti explained to the court that the reason he had the liquor on the premises was because christening had been held at his home and he wished to celebrate according to the custom in the old country. He said he sold the liquor to Collins because he thought that he was sick man When asked why he had gallon of alcohol hidden in the coal bin in the cellar, he was unable to give a satls- factory excuse and he was fined $2oo ande costs.
 The other case was that of Peter Benis who conducts a music store and

Neglect Of Patients In State Institutions Is Making Many Victims Permanently Insane, Is Charge
Disabled Veterans of World War Petition President to Urge Govt. to Have Men Treated at Federal Hos. pitals.

Washington, Jan. 16.-Asserting that the more than $500 mentally disabled former service men now placed in state institutions were Vlc- tims of such gross neglect, lndlner- ence, and profiteering" as constituted "black reproach on the honor of the nation," the disabled American vet erans of the world war, in memor- ial presented today to President Harding, urged immediate action by the government looking to the treat- ment of all such cases in federal in- stitutions. Neglect of these cases in state institutions, the memorial says, is committing to permanent insanity many of the victims who by timely treatment probably could be cured.
 Ohio Is Bad Example. Describing the condition of con- tract cases of this class in the insti- tutions of the state of Ohio as typical of those in practically every state. the memorial asserts the government Harmed out the insane ex-service men of Ohio to state asylums which are notoriously overcrowded, under manned and inadequately equipped to treat and care for them while it has not provided one federal institution for this purpose in the state.
 240 Sleep Like Cattle.
 "For example," the memorial says, 'in the Longview asylum of Hamilton county, Ohio, there are AZ gallant soldiers who broke down mentally under the stress of war, although | I a 1nI hot Of the inmates sleep on the floor like cattle every night"
 Doomed To Insanity.
 Of the 250 mentally disabled placed in all the institutions of the state of whom it is said, physicians believe half might be cured by treatment, not one, the memorial asserts, is receiv- ing medical treatment of any kind for their mental diseases and curable cases are being daily doomed to per- manent insanity" None of the insti- tutions, it is asserted, segregate their tubercular patients.
 Profit on Each Man.
 An average profit of $500 on each patient out of the s547,50 annual maintenance paid by the government is shown in figures for the nine insti- tutions for the state cited in the me- morial as recently having been made public by Dr. H. S. MacAyeal, direc- tor of the state welfare department. The profits per man ranged from s276.66 for the Athens state hospital to $32095 for the institution of feeble- minded.
 In hundreds of cases it is ascer- tained, relatives are refusing to com- init mentally disabled veterans who (Continued on Page Ten)

Crowd Outside Dublin Castle Cheers Justify As Collins And Staff Arrive To Take Charge Of Affairs
Meantime British Troops Make What Is Probably Their Final Appearance On Old Erin's Soil.

Dublin, Jan. 16 (By Associated Press)-The governmental powers for Ireland as vested in the British au- over today to the provisional govern ment of Ireland as constituted last Saturday under the Anglo-Irish treaty. The transfer was made by Viscount Fitzallan. the lord lieutenant, in the privy council chamber.
 Crowd Cheers Wildly.

J. Hogan, Joseph McGrath, Kevin O'Higgins and William Cosgrave.
 Immediately afterward Viscount Fitzallan, with two aides, arrived and they all proceeded to the privy coun- ell chamber where the transfer of powers was effected.
 Fall of Dublin Costly.
 Y FOIll dH carry lOuI tOudy dll dp- breaches to the castle were blocked by good humored crowd watching for what was described as the fall of Dublin castle. The lower castle yard was an animated scene of visitors journalists and photographers. The metropolitan police dealt in friendly manner with all corners, and the aux iliaries in uniform watched the pro- ceedings from their old quarters where they had examined so many arrested Sim Feiners.
 Take Down Entanglenents.
 Workmen were engaged today in dismantling the wire screens erected for the protection of the castle from attack. Ashes of burning documents were sprinkled over the spectators < outside. In the upper castle yard outside the vice regal apartments, a detachment of the Cornwall regiment, on guard for the last time, went through their rife drill. This was expected to be the final appearance of a British regiment and the troops were duly photographed as they marched off.
 Dublin Castle.
 Dublin castle, the ancient seat of British sauthority in Ireland occupies about ten acres of ground, but eN- cepting St. Patrick's hall, the apart ments are small, and the building is of a motley and unimposing appear ance One exception to this is the chapel, Gothic building of the early 10th century. The castle was orig inally built in the first two decades of the 18th century and there are still some portions of the building that were constructed in this period. But nearly all of the structure is of the 18th century and later.

 Rooms on Thursday

There will be reception 10 the public in the recreation rooms Of the Nurses home on Hawkins street on Thursday afternoon from to 6 o'clock. and in the evening from & to 10 o'clock. A cordial invitation is extended to the members of the Wom- ems Hospital board and all others in- terested to inspect the rooms on that date. Tea will be served by members of the committee.
 The following will act as recep- ton committee; Dr. Eben T. Reeks, chairman of the hospital board: Mrs. William C. Hungerford, Mrs. George w. Traut, Mrs. George T. Kimball, Mrs. Elisha H. Cooper and Miss Har- riet Beck, head nurse.
 The rooms have just been complet- ed, the building being an old home which has been renovated. It was found that the rooms were necessary and as they were the easiest to build, they were taken care of first. Part of the money which was collected in the recent drive was used for the work.
 The interior decorating was done by Stephen Lawrence of Pennington. He has the reputation of being one of the best artists in that line in the coun- try. His work gives the rooms the appearance of the results of a large expenditure of money and effort, but though the work was not as expen- sive as it might lead people to be- lieve, it has been done with such ar tistc taste that nothing has been left wanting to make the rooms as beau tiful as possible.
 The committee in charge of the open house on Thursday has been working hard to prepare for a large number of visitors, and it is hoped that many of the people of the city will avail themselves of this oppor- tunty to view the work that has al ready been done towards a better bigger hospital.
