SADLY OVERCROWDED, STATE
ASYLUM NEEDS IMPROVEMENTS
Atlanta, June 13.—11 s insanity on the
increase, or are state institutions for
the insane failing to keep pace with
the growing population?
S Ult is a sad fact that this alarming
‘increase goes on at the Georgia State
Sanitarium, notwithsanding the fact
that the death rate is an extraordinary
large one, due to the overcrowded con
dition. In the negro department
‘whiere thie overcrowding is greatest,
{lfe deatll rate is 20 per cent of all cas
¢s under treatment; while in that for
white where somewha: better condi
tions are obtained, it is only 2 per
cent in the general population, (:onsid-i
ering children and all others, is a very |
large one, it will he seen how serious
are conditions at the State Sanitarium.
With the exception of several cot
tages for tubercular patients, no new
buildings have been erected for the
insane of Georgia since 1903, nearly 14
YOears ago, and there now exists imper
ative demand for additional buildings
which must be speedily met in the
new cases which are occurring every
day. ?
I the 72 years since the sanitarium
was established, 28,653 patients have
been admitted to it, while 12,901 have
been received since January 1, 1904.
Almost 50 per cent of the total admis
gions for the 72 years have been with
in the last 12 years during which time
absolutely no added provision has been
made for patients. The number now
in the institution is more than 4,000.
At the beginning of 1915 there was
not a single vacancy in the depart
ment for white females, and yet 491
white women were admitted uding that |
year. In the white male department
some of the dormitory words intended
for S 0 patients n:)w accommodate 125.
The negro department, with a capacity
of b 0 patients contained at that time
676, while during the year 914 were
received, a number greater than the
estimated capacity of the whole deparl
ment. In a single one of the wards
for negroes in which H 0 patients are
supposed to sleep toere are crowded
150. Beds or cots occupy the halls
and the large rooms mn which the pa
fients sit during the day, and every
available space for a single person are
gometimes occupied by 2, 3 and 4.
“Certainly, it the state accepts the
burden of caring for these people,”
said one of the trustees, “it must b
Leld responsible for the injury done
them by failure to provide for them
properly.”

ATLANTA POLICE RECORDER
FRIEND OF WORKING GIRY
Atlanta, Ga., June 13.—1 f there's one
person in the world for whom Police
Recorder Johnson of Atlanta has a
deep and abiding sympathy, it's the
girl who works for a living. And the
recorder never .lms a chance go by,
whether on or off the bench, to prove
himself her friend.
Yesterday a doctor was carried be
fore him on the charge of cursing the
telephone operator in a local lml('l‘
where he lives. The girl was there!
1o testify, and the doctor didn't (h'n."i
the charge. |
“You can’t curse a working girl and

OLD MAN HOLDS HIGH
ESTIMATE CF PRISON
Atlanta, June 13.—Instead of depriv
ing a man of the time he spends there
serving a sentence, the United States
grison in Atlanta is such a wholesome
and thoroughly beneficial place to live
't prolongs the life of a prisoner and
nore than ('ump.on:mt«»s for the term
of his centence, unless, of course, it be
prisoner who serves for life.
At least, that is the verdict of old
nan David Isaacsc:, who went into
he prison at the age of 75 yedrs, and
‘eeling as old as his roars, and came
ut at the age of 76, but feeling like
v man of 50.
It was for some trifling infraction
if the federal laws regarding the use
f the mails that old man Ksaacson
was sentenced to serve a year. He
lever quite understood what he had
lone to violate the law, and when the
yrison closed its doors behind him the
)ld man declared he would never come
yut alive. The authorities had shmvn‘
heir confidence in him by svu(lingl
lim from Boston to Atlanta all by him
self, his own, prisoner conducting him
jelf to the penitentiary.
But now the old man's sentence has
yeen served, the prison gates have
Jlosed behind him again, and once
nore he breathes the free air of his
ountry.
“I added 25 years to my life in the
yrison,” the old man told a newspaper
riends who saw him enter. “They
Jdected me the Prisoners’ Friend, and
ow I'm going to devote myself to
lelping them.”
