The Herald, 1909-03-26, Page 2ASYLUM FOR FEEBLE MINDED. Deputation Interviewed the Provin- cial Secretary. Strong Pleas Fut Forward For Care of Those People.. '.l'oronto, Ott., deep:deli: Mayor Oli �re>x fed a strong deputation before the 3San, Mr. Hanna, Provincial Secretary, eine] then Ifoii, Adam Beck, regarding the establishment of cepstral asylum for the care of the feeble minder] in On- i7prio. Fort Willlets, Port Arthur, Lon- don, Hamilton, Kingston, Ottawa and Lindsay were xcpresented. Mrs, Crcrar, Errs. Southam, Mrs. Watkins and Miss Evans represented Hamilton; Mrs. Smel- lie, Fort William: Lady Edgar and Mrs. Torrance, Miss M. E. Hill and. Miss MacMurth•y were among the Toronto delegates. "1 came frost a part of the country where an institution like this is very much in demand," said Dr. Smellie, M. P. P., from Fort 'William. He jokingly . referred to the fact that one time a largo percentage <.i the population of the north. shore people were supposed to be feeble minded, but it vas because of their energy in opening up new ter- etory that developed this talk. Never- theless because the twin cities were so Jar from the older centres of civiliza- tion ,were the asylums and homes more needed. Col. Farrel, of Whitby, said that: if rite Government could do anything to keep the feeble-minded people apart, where they could be trained in such oc- cupations as they could undertake, it would be a lasting tribute to Mr. Whit- ney and hie colleagues. Mrs. MacKellar, of 'For't William, spoke of the situation there, from a Wo- nane's standpoint. Mrs. Parker, of London, told of ef- forts in that part of the Province to deal with the situation. Lady Edgar. itr'esident of the National Clouted of le onset, said ,he had labored in the work with that, organization for •seven years. "A few years ago,'" said .Lady Edgar, "there were only fire hun- dred feeble-minded women and girls in Toronto, now there are thousands, Isn't that enough?" he said. Mrs. Snivels, lady superintendent of the Toronto General Hospital. said she had most painfully witnessed tho effects of the aittlation for years. "If ane, thing can be done," slte said, "to prevent these unfortunate • lumen from becom- hien it esettgte!iesI '-tchvti!d • Ore done, and if this government does it, it will be :t glorious work.'. Dr. Hastings, Toronto, said that the Government could do no more noble work than took after those who could not help thenseeli en, ;kers. Torrington, President of the be- tel Council of Women, pouted out that en institution suck as that described, would have important resources in the work, which eonld he done by the in- mates and that the guardians and par- ents cif the unfortunate gide and women -would pay Lor their maintainanee.

Long Beach, Cal., Isktreh 22.—Tire most important archaeological discovery ever made in the southwest is reported by B. F. Bond, who has just returned from a trip in the San Jacinto Moun- tains. Mr. Bond found the ruins of an ancient city of unknown origin, hidden in the mountains and containing about one thousand stone houses. Charles F. Lunintis, librarian of Los Angeles, and a noted archaeologist, says no such ruins have ever been reported' before, and that the discovery is of the greatest importance to archaeologists a,nd historians of the early period of California. Mr. Bond immediately sent accurate information concerning his find to the scientists of the Smithsonian in- stitution et Washington, so that it Wray be properly exploited. The discovery was made by accident. Mr. Bond vas tramping in the moun- tains when Ise stumbled upon the silent city, The houses were all one room dwellings of two sizes. The older and larger houses were 1a by -3 feet, and the smaller and better preserved were 8 by 12 feet. The houses -were built along regularly laid out streets, paved with huge blocks of stone that had been covered in days gone by with earth. This earth had been washed away by the rains, leaving the stones bare. At the point of greatest width of the city there are seven of these paved streets, SMITH SURPRISED. Michigander Didn't Expect Water- ways Treaty to be Ratified.

Senator Smith was probably as much surprised as any member of the Senate that the 'treaty was ratified with his amendment as a part of the convention, but he will not admit it. It is quite cm'tain that there -was no indication until the last moment that the amendment would be accepted, and it seemed to stony Sena- tors that the treat; would probably go over until the extra session of Congress, DESERTED WIFE.
