Hartford is the percentage leader of
cities in all classes. The 1910 cen
sus was taken as the basis for classi
fying the cities. In some cities, final
results are not known and some cities
may be added to the honor lists.
There were so many claimants for
firit honors among cities of less than
25,000 that the treasury has not been
" able to determine which should stand
first.
The lists of honor flag cities in
cludes: Above 500,000 population Boston,
156 per cent.; Baltimore, 115; Chi

Treasury officials said that in many
instances the percentages announced
might be less than they should be
since complete reports have not been
received from many cities.

To the. Governor;,
Tbt your . informa.tidn and for the
information of -the public and in jus
tice .to Ourselves, the directors deem
it proper to make a statement of the
financial condition of the three state
hospitals for the insane Morganton,
Raleigh and (Soldsborosupplement
Ing the statement furnished you a
year ago. , .( --hese
institutions are -unable to
meet the demands made upon them
to take all the patients who need
their care and treatment and in
many cases the people do not seem
to understand why.this is so. The
fiw60 be Un?f lhe
sion that the appropriations commit
tee of the legislature made ample
provision for these institutions. The
facts briefly stated follow:
The legislature of 1917 made provision-
for issuing $5,000,000 of bond3
for permanent improvements new
buildings, etc. at all the state's edu-
cational and charitable institutions.

$3 000,000 is to be provided by bond ramiant, Murray was selected by the
1L.8' ?ninl0v6r PeHod,?f,! committee on public information to
years, the money being divided ' ,0 A MlA fn- hta
for building a hall of records in RalM
eigh. The proceeds of the first bond
issue were largely devoted to the Mat
ter purpose and up to the present lit
tle money has been available ffrom
this building fund for the state hos
pital.
This statemnt, however, is not a
complaint that the money for build
ing purposes is not available up to
this time. It is to sho wthe purpose
of the $3,000,000 bond issue and to
emphasise the fact that had all the
money coming to the hospitals been
available the past year, it would be
useless to build new buildings when
the fund for maintenance-to pro
vide food, fuel, clothing, medical at
tendance, nursing, etc. the running
expenses of the hospitals is no, suf
ficient to take care Of the patients
these institutions now have; and that
if each of the hospitals had room for
could not now be received because
there is no money for their support.
Get this fat clear: The $3,000,000
bond issue was for buildings alone;
not a lollar of that money can be
used to provide for support ol the
patients. And while the legislature
was . liberal in making provision for
additional buildings, th eestmates
for support, made by the directors;
after careful study and survey of con-1
ditions, were cut down by the appro-
priatlons committe, so that the fund:
is entirely inadequate, as haB been ;
stated, and receiving additional pa-:
t ents, except as there are vacancies-,
is out of the question. The follow- ,
ing financial statement of each of the
three state hospitals shows the con
ditions as they are:

.Washington, May, Unofficial ad
vices received here tell of ah Order
for the expulsion- from Mexico, by the
Carranza government, of Robert H.
Murray,, the representative of the
committee on public information in
Mexico City, who 1$ that capacity,
has been in crarge of-the wor .con
ducted by the American government
to offset German propaganda.
At - the same time, , the unofficial
advices say, One of the correspond
ents of The Associated Press in Mex
ico City, W. Ev Weigand, also was
ordered to leave.
The" expulsion of both men, it is
said, was ordered under the Mexican
ImprT?--constitution, which provides for the
summary deportation off "pernicious"
fforeigners without rtial or hearing.
Some of the experiences Of the Amer
icans expeled fro mMexico under that
section have been described as little
short Of harrowing.
Murray was the correspondent of
the New York World and one of the
a
Mexico. When it was determined
to take steps to properly inform
n nnoo hart
gained the upper hand in Mexican of-
ficial circles. The state department
committee, that the allowance would
not be sufllfficient, and they called at
tention, a year ago, to the conditions
which they foresaw and which have,
resulted.
This is simply a statement of facts
concerning these institutions, which
the people have a right to know and
t hiCh the directors feel it their duty
to give them. The great increase in
wages necessary to keep sufficient
help to carry on the work of the in
stitutions (which it is difficult to do),
has made the cost of support even
surpass the estimates ubmitted to
the legilature. .And when it is re
membered that the amount asked for
support was meterially reduced, the
present situation is easily explained.
It is unnecessary to add that, faced
by these deficits, all economies possi
My, consistent with decent and com
fcrtable care for the unfortunates in
these institutions have been and are
being practiced.
