by Senator Royal S. Copeland

AS the only physician in the

was passed by the House several
years ago.
Under the provisions of the
Senate bill, which materially
modifies provisions of the original
House legislation, a commission of
mental health would be created
and special safeguards assured to
protect the rights of persons be-
lieved to be in need of medical
treatment for mental ills. Jury
trials would be granted only if
demanded by the person involved
in insanity proceedings or some
one acting in his behalf, or on
order of the court.
Preliminary examinations would
be made by staff physicians of
Gallinger Hospital. If they found
the person examined to be of

charged and the petition for COM

VIRGINIA WIFE
Husband Believed
To Be in Orange

New mystery developed today
as the body of a young woman,
taken from the Conduit Road res
ervoir yesterday, was identified as
that of Mrs. Lucille Byram, 81, of
1912 Twelfth st. N. w.
The Identification was made by
her sister, Mrs. A. E. Myers, 1921
North Pershing Drive, Arlington.
At the Twelfth Street address
it was said that Mrs. Byram went
there about a week ago and rented
a room. She spent last WedneS.
day and Thursday nights in the
place, and then did not return
until last Monday.
WELL DRESSED MAN
At that time she was accom-
panied by a well-dressed young
man, who waited on the front
porch while she went to her room,
changed her dress, then rejoined
her companion and they left to-
gether.
Mrs. Myers went to the room
ing house that night, she told
police, but was informed her sister
was out. Later she made several
attempts to get in touch with her
sister.
Yesterday she read an account
Of the finding of the body in the
reservoir published in The Times,
and thought that the description
of the dress tailed with one
owned by Mrs. Byram.
Today she went to the District
Morgue and identified the body.
TRIED SUICIDE
Mrs. Myers told police that her
sister had attempted to end her
life three times before, twice by
gas and once by poison.
A waitress, Mrs. Byram was
estranged from her husband, who
is believed to be in Orange, Va.
Their 8-year-old son lives with
Mrs. Myers.
FRIENDS SAID that MRS. Byram
has nine brothers and sisters. and
that they had been planning on
holding a family reunion in the
near future.
JEWELERS. MARK
Detective Sergt. William j. Liv-
erman, who is handling the in
vestigation, said the body of the
young woman had been in the
water only a short time when it
was found. He believes she climbed
a seven-foot fence around the
reservoir and plunged to her
death.
