ASYLUM leads
WORRIED

st. Elizabeth's Hospital officials
are alarmed because Of the record
breaking activities in local courts
TO bring about release Of patients.
many Of whom are declared to be
dangerously insane.
1t was learned today that 10
writs OF habeas corpus have been
filed and are now pending for the
release Of patients.
During the past four months II
patients have been released, setting
record IN local court history.
1t is estimated that there are APP
proximateIy 1000 patients at the
hospital who can. under the law.
apply for writs of habeas corpus
as q step toward freedom.
The activity Of the patients and
their friends is attributed by the
hospital officials to the investiga-
ton by Congress, with its attendant
publicity, Of the conduct of Conn
missioner Frederick A Fenning in
the handling of lunacy cases.
Prior to- last April, when the I'M
vestigations began, the number OF
patients released from st. Eliza
beth.s Hospital on writs seldom ex-
ceeded three a year.
Hospital physicians hold that e
majority of the patients already
released are still mentally i'll.
In a few cases they are helpless
or dangerously insane, 1t is stated.
One of the men released openly
threatened to kill his wife If ne
gained is freedom, it was stated.

FENN|NG' 5 JOB
IS PUZZLE

Commissioner Frederick a. Fen
ming remains In office today only
because President Coolidge is hav-
ing trouble selecting his success
sor. it was learned from official
On the day President Coolidge
decides upon one. of the many
candidates for the office, Fenning
will receive q formal demand Tor
his resignation, it was indicated.
Should Fenning continue his pol
Icy Of stubbornly refusing to re-
sign, he win be removed from
office by Presidential fiat, with
out delay or ceremony, It has
been learned from those close
to the President,
The chief obstacle in the way
Of getting capable man to &C.
cept the commisalonership is the
small salary. Seventy-five hundred
dollars a year Is not very attrac.
tive to anyone possessing the ex.
ecutive ability which the Presi.
dent feels Is necessary for the
position.
Also, some Of the candidates me- :
to Mr.. Coolidge's liking do not quail
ify under the law which provides
that a Commissioner must have
been legal resident OF the District
for three years. The fact that these
candidates have maintained their
legal residence elsewhere. despite
living in the Capital, disqualifies
them.
Then there is feeling that the
activities Of Fenning, which brought
down upon him the condemnation Of
two committees of Congress, have
cast a stigma on the office.
At any rate, the President is cast
ing about for a new Commissioner.
He meant business when he an
nounced that he expected Jennings
resignation and the appointment of
q new man.
