 Some members were inclined to treat seriously the governors re- mark to the effect that he would Submit other questions to you with in a fortnight" trying to read into the lines an impending special ses- sion at which grand jury reports would form basis for the General Assemblys consideration. The gov- ernor scotched such interpretation Of his comment, however, and said, "It was all in fun"
 Other legislators more astutely re- alized that the governor was poking fun throughout by his recommend ation" that something should be done to increase consumption of li- quor in order to raise state taxes; that the Republicans adopt a plank this fall calling for horse and dog racing and legalized "bingo" games.
 Neither Representatives Hugh M. Alcorn, Jr., nor Harold E. Mitchell, presently engaged with Hugh M AL corn, Sr., in the Waterbury grand jury procedure, appeared at the party. Nor did those legislators named in grand jury charges. ac- cording to report.

Freedmen's Hospital Held
Lacking in Aides

Dr. T. Edward Jones, surgeon in
chief of Freedmen's Hospital, in his
annual fiscal report made public to-
day, said the institution still needs
30 graduate nurses, AZ hospital at
tendants and other additions to its
technical staff.
This need for additional nurses
was one of the points discussed be-
tween President Roosevelt and Rep
resentative Collins.
Recently the hospital was faced
with an edict from the Nurses
Examining Board of the District
calling for cancellation of registra-
ton of its training school for nurses,
effective September l last. Upon
appealing to Secretary of the In
terror Ickes, the hospital was as
signed a registered nurse, Miss Vir-
ginia Livesay, as technical adviser
on nurse administration for a period
of six months.
In consequence of her survey, the
nursing school was reorganized and
a modern program Of nursing pro-
cedure was instituted. The Nurses
Examining Board then continued
the registration of the school until
September l, 1885, The hospital was
assured if it paralleled its progress
during that period, DR.. Jones re-
ported, the registration would be
still further extended. This means
that additional graduate nurses,
hospital attendants and equipment
must be secured" he reported.
With a sympathetic understand
ing and cooperative attitude upon
the part of the Interior Department,
Freedmen's Hospital inds itself
gradually emerging from its pau
persim, the report declared. A gen.
eral survey was made of the hos
pitfalls needs during the last year
which resulted in a supplementary
budget of $4,000 being submitted
for the fiscal year beginning July
l. Congress provided $4,000 of this
budget, along with a $4,000 def
cheney appropriation for the last
fiscal year. This increased appro-
priation will go a long way toward
improving the efficiency Of the hos
pital," the report said. It was
pointed out, however, an increase in
the maintenance appropriation is
needed to provide for more patients.
