AMERICAN ASSOCIATION.

County Officials Wanted to See What Public Thought Of Existing Conditions Consider Plans.

It was the sense of the conference at the court house yesterday afternoon that the insane and feeble minded be removed from the county Jail and Home s for the Friendless. The conferees were , in favor of the erection by the county of a home for this class of Indigents separate and apart from either of the other institutions. The proposition of an addition to the jail was held in disfavor. The conference was attended by members of the county board of charities, county commissioners, representatives of the county council and private citizens who are interested in charitable Institutions and care for the unfortunates. It was a meeting for the exchange of opinion. It was called by the county commissioners to obtain public sentiment. The general public was not represented by a large attendance. It was stated by one present that the public seldom shows any real interest In maters of this Bind. The inability of Supt Smith of Easthaven and Secretary Butler of the state board of charities to be present probably had some effect on the public's Interest. What Was Advocated. The establishment of a separate institution was advocated as the only practical way to dispose of the problem. The law requires that the Insane shall be under the guardianship of the sheriff while awaiting admittance to the hospital. Different ways have been proposed so as to accomplish the purpose and not Infringe on the law. The proposition which gained most favor, waa the purchase of a farm and erection of a building upon the "village" theory. The patients could be provided with plenty of grounds for exercise and those in condition to justify It might, be given some privileges, they can not, enjoy at a jail or the home. , The establishment of the "village" at the county farm was favored to a slight degree. The farm is so far removed from the city as to make it somewhat difficult of access" to the authorities, although there is direct lnterurban service. The employment of a man and his wife as guards was proposed. It was pointed out that women insane should be under the care of a woman custodian. Her duties would consist almost exclusively in looking after the inmates and probably preparing their food. The man would be in control of the male Inmates and would look after the farm and premises. It would be required that the custodians be married. Enlargement Opposed. The enlargement of the jail was excepted to for various reasons. Prin

cipal among them was the probability

that the state law will be changed in

a few years and district workhouses srorlded for. The present jail is suf

ficiently large to accommodate the number of prisoners usually remanded

there. The workhouse would reduce

,the number of Inmates at the jail. It would also serve as a preventive against the custom of some men to 'Winter in jail. These men prefer to spend their time behind bars but well fed and kept warm to having their liberty and they are regular denizens

of the-Institutlon.

IUwas evident to all that some arrangement must be made soon. The

county -council meets In September

and If an appropriation Is to be secured4tmust be asked for at this meet

ing; ' Consequently there is need for

4Xttlckwork. There is an incessant de

mand and an actual necessity, accord

ins to the conferees, that something

M" done to remedy conditions. No ad

dttion to the jail and the removal of all Insane from jail and home by providing & separate institution for them was regarded as the only proper solu-

ening parades on that day, the fire

department will give an exhibition in the afternoon to show how to fight a fire, and It will be a thriller. A great deal of attention will be given to the

grand ball, on the evening of October S. It was in the nature of a military affair last year but as the soldiers will not be here this year, the social

event; of the festival will be entirely

for the benefit of Richmond residents

and visitors from out of the city." The

program for the horse show is a very

extensive one, as there are so many entries that it will require three days

to judge the animals. The different races and athletic events and the time when they are to be held has not been

determined as yet.

ENTER BIDS FOR SCHOOLjyPPLIES Firms in Alleged "Combine" Were Back on Job Again Today.

TWELVE BIDS RECEIVED

CONSTANT COMPLAINT WAS MADE TO THE TRUSTEES AGAINST THE BLANK FORMS SUPPLIED TO THEM.

One of the most unexpected things in connection with the bids submitted to the township trustees today was the receipt of bids from firms who were in the alleged combination to obtain uniform prices for supplies. At the time the bids were refused because the trustees had been informed ot the attempted collusion. The action of the trustees was resented by the four firms in the agreement, and W. L. Baker, one of the supply dealers, charged Improper methods of procedure. But Baker was back on hand today and submitted his bids along with the other dozen. The last time there were but six bidders and this time the number was doubled. Kicks Registered. The bidders made constant complaint against the blank forms that are supplied them. They claimed these forms are so Indefinite as to be mis

leading. One of the blanks provides for a price on twenty gross of pens. What kind of pens is not specified. Dealers could furnish them from 20 cents to $1.50 per gross. Another blank1 is for a price on wagons. It doesn't say what kind of wagon. Another is for waste paper baskets. There is no further specification and they can be supplied at prices from 15 cents to $4. Such leeway in the blank forms would permit of any kind of bidding. Dealers who bid on pens at a ridiculously low figure might supply a kind almost worthless, while other dealers whose figures were higher Intended to supply a good grade.

SHE HAS COMPLAINT

The mother of Otto Peters is loud in her complaints because this newspaper published an account of her boy's arrest for the alleged theft of a boat.
