TO HAVE SANITARIUM INVESTIGATED
Charges Made Arc Denied mid Man

The Georgia State Sanitarium here,
where the people have millions of dol
lars invested in a home for the unfor
tunates of the comm inwealth, is to
undergo a thorough investigation if the
wishes of Supt, L. M. Jones are carrie i
out. Bocguse a few of the papers of
the state have raised quite a discussion
over reports coming from different
quarters Dr. Jones Tue .day morning
sent a letter to Gov. Iloke Smith ask
ing that every accusation made be care
fully examined and that a thorough in
vestigation bo made into existing con
ditions. Dr. Jones states that every
charge made is denied completely.
One of the reports being given gener
al circulation is reported as coming
from R. E. Dumffngton, whom the san
itarium authorities state is now out on
furlough and not as a sane man. Hon.
Thos. E. Watson and Dr. W. S. Av-

an investigation. Judge Lawson, of
Eatonton, president of the board of
trustees, came down to Milledgevill j-
Tuesday and went over the situation in
detail and took preliminary steps on ' no
part of his organization to insist, upoin
an investigation at the hands of the
state.
Most prominent local citizens woo arc
acquainted with the management of Yhe
Sanitarium and the personnel of th<-
staff discredit all the stories reflecting
on the institution and while it seem*

result of the official inquisition.

purpose of teaching our trade to use the
