Board Reports Conditions at the State Asylum Call for Many Reforms. Striking new methods of handling patients in the Georgia State Sani tarium at Mllledgeville are urged in the annual report of the board of di rectors, submitted to Governor Brown Friday. The mc*t important recom mendations are: The enactment of a steriliza tion law, applying to certain classes of criminals and defec tives. modeled after recently en acted laws of Nsw Jersey and Indiana. A ban on the commitment of epileptics (not insane), feeble minded children, harmless seniles and paralytics and persons es caping trial by pleas of lunacy. This is a hospital and not a pris on. The report declares that poor re sults have been obtained at the insti tution in the cure of insanity on ac count of the crowded conditions and the lack of facilities for segregating and treating the curable cases apart from the criminal and hopelessly in sane. A psycophathlc hospital is urged. No Provision for Children. “No provision is made in our State educational system for the care and treatment of feeble-minded children,” states the report. “Most of them are capable of training that will aid In their happiness and fit them for some usefulness. Only the grosser types are committed to the State Sanita rium. while jhe great majority are al!o*d to grow''tin without care — . , 'a -•«.,. ...

MACON, GA„ May 9.—S. D. Walk er. an East Macon blacksmith, to day ended his life with carbolic acid. This was the ninth suicide here this year. tNirthSEctfminltmTrit wllflPtlie in sane should be stopped "and some adequate provision made by the State for thesi**JSil<Jr#n" The report criticises the present system of confining epileptics not in sane in the sanitarium, pointing out that association with crazy persons tends to hopelessly depress them and also has a bad effect on the insane persons. A hospital for epileptics Is recommended; and It is suggested that it should be named for T. O. Powell because of the great service he has rendered the State along such lines. Negro Quarters Insanitary. Alarming insanitary and over crowded conditions In the negro building are reported and the need of *190,000 for an annex to this build ing is said to be Imperative. To sep arate the acute insane from the hope, lessly insane an appropriation of $135,000 is urged. For a nurses' home $40,000 is asked. There are 3,429 patients In the In stitution, 1,108 having been admitted this year. The daily average during 1912 was 3,424, an Increase of 41 over 1911. The annual average increase during the last five years has been 89. Of eleven criminals committed, three were found to be sane. The average ccst per patient last year was $153.06. The total income of the sanitarium was $530,000. There Is an exceedingly high dealh rate among the negro patients. Most of the deaths in the institution are from tuberculosis and pellagra, re cent increases in pellagra deaths be ing reported as startling. The report wat submitted by John T Brantly. president of the board. Other recommendations for changes in the laws governing the Institution are; That the three nearest adult rela tives can, with the consent of the Ordinary, waive the tan days' notice of trial for lunacy. This is to prevent victims being held in Jail during the ten days. CHILD BURNS TO DEATH PLAYING WITH MATCHES MACON, (5A., May 9.—Emmett El lis. ten-year-old son of A. J.

Martin, a business part ner, on a charge of embezzling $23.- 000 of the bank’s funds. THE WEATHER. Forecase for Atlanta and Georgia—Fair Friday and Sat urday. MH HI IS CASE, sms Solicitor Dorsey Says He Has Se cured Powerful Aid in Search for Slayer of Girl—Woman Says She Heard Screams in Pencil Factory. Shelby Smith, chairman of the Fulton commission, declared Friday afternoon that the board would hack Solicitor Dorsey in any and all expense he might incur in the slate’s exhaustive investiga tion into the Phagan murder mystery. Smith said: “We have instructed Dorsey to obtain the best possible detec tive skill for his probe and he would be backed by the counv com mission to the last ditch in the money he spent. “The fact the he hired a good detective Friday is news to me, but he has the sanction and backing of the hom'd in the matter.” HIRES BEST DETECTIVE, HE SAYS. Solicitor General Hugh M. Dorsey said Friday afternoon that he had the best detective in America working on the mystery of the Mary Phagan strangling. Important developments had ensued already, he declared, and he was confident that an early solution of the case would he reached by the new expert of national reputation who had been placed at work on the (dews. The solicitor is understood to have, the affidavit of a woman who swears that she heard a girl's screams as she was passing the factory at 4:30 o’clock Hie afternoon of the tragedy. The cries were shrill and, mere mg, she says, and died away as she stopped an instant to listen. The woman was sure they came from inside the factory, but she gave little attention to her startling experience until she read of the strangling of Mary Phagan. Then it occurred to her that she very likely had heard the dying cries of the little girl and she reported the matter to the authorities. Solicitor Dorsey, as his first action after the holding of Leo M. Frank and Newt Lee" to the Grand Jury for the murder of Mary Phagan, put out the dragnet for witnesses. A batch of subpenrfs were Issued for the witnesses to appear in hi* of fice to give testimony in the case of “The State vs. John Doe.” After a long conference with De tectives Starnes anil Campbell, Solici tor Dorsey asserted that action on the part of the Grand Jury might b% expected any time after Friday. He plainly intimated that a special aes- , sion of the jury might be convened | Saturday to consider the Phagan murder. The Solicitor declared as he left the ! court ho us*© with a private detective | whose name he refused to divulge that he anticipated the development of startling evidence before night, j which, he said, would clear matters ; materially. Dorsey Questions Newt Lee. With the private detective the So licitor went to the Tower and was closeted with Newt Lee, the night watchman, for more than an hour. The form of the subpena Is taken to mean that many of the witnesses 1 will submit their sworn testimony , before the Solicitor General, who will j thus have It In documentary form, in stead of going before the Grand Jury i to give oral testimony. However, it ! will be neces**arv for the material or j indicting witnesses to go before the Grand Jurors in person. “The investigation has Just be- | gun,’’ said Chief of Detectives Lan- J ford Friday, in discussing the action i of the Coroner’s jury. "We were confident we had presented suffici ent evidence to warrant the holding of the two suspects in the case, but we will have much more when the j case gets into the courts. Have Strong Theory Already. “We are going to continue right on with the investigation and try to dig down to the full truth of the mys tery. We have a strongly supported theory as to who committed the ! crime, but we are ready at any time to change our opinions as soon as the evidence points In another direc- j tion. “Tt will be possible, with the rush 1 and hurry of the Coroner’s jury SENATE BEGINS IF TARIFF BILL Received From House and Re ferred—Hearings Are Secret. Expect Vote in Nine Weeks. WASHINGTON, May 9. Shortly after the Senate convened to-di^y the Underwood tariff bill was brought over from the House, read and re ferred to the Finance Committee. In the Finance Committee the schedule was assigned to sub-com mittee No. 1, composed of Senators Stone, Thomas, James and Simmons, and the wool schedule to No. 2— Senators Williams, Shively, Gore and Simmons. The remaining schedules were divided equally between sub committees 1, 2 and 3. Hearings on the bill will be behind closed doors, the Democrats having decided that public hearings would consume too much time. It is ex pected that three weeks will be used by the committee in considering the measures, and six weeks more in de bate on the floor • It also is considered certain (hat a number of changes will be m;ide in the measure, necessitating its refer ence to the conference of the House and Senate members. On the final test in the House last night the vote was 281 to 139. five Democrats voting against the bill and two Republicans voting for it Four Progressives supported the bill and fourteen opposed it, while one Inde pendent Progressive Joined with the majority. When Speaker Clark announced the vote in loud tones that revealed his satisfaction exhuberant Democrats hoisted a stuffed Democratic donkey over the heads of their colleagues in the rear of the chamber, a ripple of applause followed anil the gavel fell on the first chapter in the history of President Wilsons extra session of Congress With the bill on its way to the Sen ate, there was a rush of Representa tives for their homes. In the House adjournment will be taken three days at a time beginning next week until June 1 44 *1*1 Y T»T | T tt ft EXCLUSIVE FEATURE IN THE 1 nC 10IT1 W atson 1 Know Sunday American
