Building Veritable Fire Traps. That the State Hospital for t Insane, at Columbia, "does not in ai way conform to the standards exis ing in a modern hospital for the i sane," that the buildings are "n only veritable firetraps in their pr sent condition, but the lack of fi extinguishers and the condition some of the hose, as found in some the wards, makes the danger fro fire a real and terrible disaster complicate," that the sanitarv co di'tions of the hospital "are in bi repair and entirely inadequate," ai that, "the present superintendent h certainly not had sufficient execute experience or psychiotric training be held responsible for the prop management of the institution nearly 1,700 patients," were findinj in the report of the investigatioi by Dr. Arthur P. Herring to Gove nor Manning, transmitted Tuesdi to the General Assembly. Dr. Herring, secretary of the 1 nacy commission of Maryland, coi pleted in about a week a comple personal inquiry into conditions i the asylum, as the personal repr sentative of Governor Manning. A coinpanied with a special messag Governor Manning transmitted th report, containing about 0,000 word to both branches of the legislatu: when they convened early Tuesds afternoon. The alienist's report was divide into four "heads" and dealt with gei eral requirements for treatment of ii sane patients, included an exhausth survey on the present conditions s the asylum, gave numerous sugge: tions for improvement of the inst tution. and recommended nmcndmmi to the state lunacy laws. This report as a whole, suggeste a radical departure from the presei conditions and customs at this inst tution. Governor Manning pointed out thj the report was pruj>?ro?l l>r ? Interested person, and he describe it as "a calm, dispassionate and noi partisan exposition of the actual coi ditions." Regarding Dr. T. J. Strait, former! of Lancaster, superintendent of tl asylum, the investigator said: "Tl present superintendent is a gentl man who was in private practice the rural districts before lus appoin meat to his present position. He kind and courteous in his manner t ward his patients, and I am firm convinced that he is doing everythi: in his power for the comfort and wel being of those under his care, but 1 has certainly not had sufficient execi tive experience or psychiotric trai: ing to be held responsible for tl proper management of an institute of nearly 1,700 patients." The investigator reported the fc lowing relative to the present sta It consists, he said, "of four phyi cians in direct charge of the patien The first assistant is in charge of 41 white male patients and has no a sistant. The second assistant is woman physician who has had no pr vious hospital experience with the i sane. She is responsible for tl treatment of over 000 white fema patients and has no assistant. The two physicians and the superinte dent live on the hospital grounds. "The physician in charge of ov 400 negro male patients does not li' at the institution, but visits every d; for a few hours or more, as may 1 necessary. He has no assistant ph sician. The physician in charge the negro women has about H00 p tients under his charge, in additi< to visiting the negro women at Sta Park. He does not live at the insi tution and has no assistant. "To expect four physicians to loi after nearly 1,700 patients, in ad( tion to their other onerous clinit duties, and only two of them devc all of their time to the work, is n only a physical impossibility, but evidentlv so uniust. and 'nh^iird. hn to the patients and to the physicia that it needs no argument. There a pathologist and a dentist w spend a part of each day at the h( pital. "The most distressing phase in li at this institution is the utter lack work and play for the patients, und supervision of a teacher.

ICHOLSON SDRY EVENING The End Came About Nine O'clock?a Woman Greatly Beloved by all?She was Gracious in Good 4. Deeds and Her Life was Beautiful. Mrs. Emslie Nicholson died at her home Tuesday evening at 9:15 o'clock. Her death was unexpected, although she had been quite ill for several weeks. Her death has brought deep sorrow to many hearts, for she was greatly beloved by all the people of Union. Mrs. Nicholson is survived by her husband, Mr. Emlie Nicholson, and one son, Mr. W. Shephard Nicholson, and one daughter, Miss Frances Nicholson, and one sister, Mrs. George Beall, of Durant, Miss. She was the daughter of Dr. John Murphy, of Durant, Miss., her maiden name being Miss Katherine Murphy. In 1889 she became the bride of Mr. Emslie Nicholson of this city, and from that time to the day of her death she has been winning her way to the heart of all the people of Union and of the surrounding counties. She was possessed of a most gracious manner; her heart was full of sympathy for all those in distress. Her good works were amazingly generous, yet performed without the slightest ostentation. If she had an enemy in the world, no one ever heard of it and her friends could trust her without reserve. She was a devoted christian and was never weary of serving her church. Her words were without bitterness and carried comfort, not reproach, gentleness, not condemnation. In the death of this noble woman Union has lost one of its best and dearest spirits, and many a heart mourns with her loved ones in thu terrible loss that has come to them. The burial will be Friday in the family plot in the Presbyterian cemetery. The funeral services will be held at noon in the First Presbyterian church, conducted by her pas tor, Rev. John F. Matheson. NOT GUILTY, SAYS JURY I Atlanta Case Outcome of Leo Frank's Trial. Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 31.?A verdict of not guilty was returned by the jury in the Superior Court here late today in the case of Dan S. Leho<t. C. C. Tedder and Arthur Thurman, 2- who were tried on charges of subordination of perjury in connection with the Leo M. Frank case. Loho.\ )() is Southern manager for the William J. Burns National Dectective Agency; Tedder was formerly employed by W the agency, and Thurman is a locui lawyer. )() The trial began last Tuesday and ^ the case was given to the jury late ^ last night. Judge Hill held a session of the Court this afternoon to receive the verdict. Only a few persons bei sides the lawyers and Court attaches ^ | were present when the verdict was announced. The defendants were accused of !,v having procured false affidavits from the Rev. C. B. Ragsdale, formerly pastor of a local church, and It. L. Barber, in which the affidavits do, ^,r> clared they had overheard James 9^ Conley, a negro, tell another negro he had killed a girl in the pencil 00 factory, where the body of Mary Pha00 gan was found. Ragsdale and Barber later 'repudiated the affidavits. 4? Conley now is serving a year's imprisonment as accessory after the 00 murder of the Phagan girl. 00 The three men were tried on the 00 indictment charging them with brib00 ing Ragsdale. Solicitor General 00 Dorsey said that in view of today's 00 verdict it was unlikely they would 00 be tried on the indictment charging 00 bribery of Barber. 25 00 frank case may be dejo cided by the june recess 00 Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 2?That the cel.00 ebrated P'rank case may be decided ,25 by the Uuited States supreme court ? before its .June recess is indicated by lo its action yesterday afternoon in selling the date for the oral arguments up to February 23, just three weeks ?rn off. The date is of peculiar interest, m_ coming about June, as upon the time 2lj_ of the decision, if it be adverse to 'he Frank, may rest whether or not Gov. n or nor Ssliiton will rnnniun unno'tlc for n oi - "ft"-"-" * ^he commutation of sentence or his sucm. cessor, Governor Nat Harris, will he pass upon them. my The acquittal of Dan S. Lehon, Arcts thur Thurman and C. C. Tedder on ted subordination of perjury charges growing out of the Frank case is to the be followed by an unusual procedure. Solicitor Dorsey now declares that charge of perjury will be tried against at Rev. C. II. Ragsdale and R. L. Barber, his two principal witnessts in the cases against^ the Burns agents. ,j^ ' ^ 1 |-s_ Mr. and Mrs. Byers Greer announce eal the birth of a daughter, February 2, 1915.
