July 11, at 10 A. M. TO BE PROVIDED IN CITY. State Commission Is.to Build Institutions Here and in Man" hattan Borough. READY AID FOR ACUTE CASES.

The Idea Comes From Europe and Was Advocated by Dr. Peterson, the President. According to a dispatch received this morning from Albany, the State Commission In Lunacy has decided to establish in Brooklyn and Manhattan hospitals for the more active: treatment the acute insane. These institutions will be known as psychopathic The, one to be established in Manhattan have room for 200 patients and the one In'Brb'oklyn will provide for 100. The suggestion: of the establishment of hospitals of this character, wholly unknown In America, but very common In Europe, came from Dr.

Frederick Peterson. Dr. Peterson, who lives at 4 West Fiftieth street, Manhattan, is chairman of the State Commission in Lunacy, and he came to the con clusion nearly two years ago that the acute cases of insanity, such as might be cured within a short period, were not receiving the proper scientific treatment in the hospitals for the insane, specially in those supported by; the state. He began advocating his idea for the es tablishment, of psychopathic hospitals over a year1 ago in the State Commission in Lunacy, which has two members beside himself. He has' kept urging the plan upon the commission, and now his persistency has borne fruit.

Neither of the other two members the commission, Daniel Lockwood of Buffalo and William Parkhurst of Canandai gua, are physicians, and Dr. Peterson had to fully convince them that the acute cases of insanity are not being properly treated in the state institutions. As to where the hospitals to be built in this borough will be located, it was said at the Long Island State Hospital this morn ing that this detail had hardly been de cided upon, though the superintendent there Dr. Robert S. Elliott, was not sure or tms He said: "I hardly think a site could have been chosen yet." said Dr.

Elliott. "In fact. did not know the commission had decided to establish the hospitals, although I knew that Dr. Peterson had been advocating that idea for over a year. It is his idea that the acute cases of insanity could be treated more successfully and cured quicker if there were separate hospitals and specialists for them.

There are a lot oi cases that can De cured in a short time if properly treated. "We take acute cases here, but nave no separate wards set apart for them. All. the hospitals for the insane are crowded and the establishment oi sucn institutions as Dr. Peterson has in mind will greatly re lieve them.

I think Dr. Peterson wants to conduct these hospitals more as general hos pitals are conducted. I imagine aggravated cases will not be taken there, only acute cases, such as can be better cared for than at the regular state An Eaele reporter went to the home of Dr Peterson to learn more of the details of the hospitals to be built here, but he is out of the city. It was stated by the superintendent of the Long Island state Hospital that the Psycao pathic Hospital to be established ir. Brooklyn could not b3 built on Uiamson street, in tne vlcinltv of the present state hospital, as there was no.

suitable site there for it. HEARING BEFORE. DR. ASS'ER. The Hague, June 25 Dr.

Receiver of the Powers Company Asks for a Contempt Order Against Fire Department Agent.

Charles Strauss, counsel for Edward Browne, receiver for the M. Powers company, this morning, made an aplicatlon to Justice Giegerich, in the Supreme Court, Manhattan, to have William L. Marks ad judged in contempt for his alleged failure to deliver over to the receiver certain con tracts with the American and La France Fire Engine companies, which he is alleged to have made as a member of the M. Powers Company, which is now in process of dissolution, and for his further alleged failure to turn over to the receiver $23,235, which he received in commissions from those companies. Marks was the purchasing agent of the New York City Fire Department under the commissionership of John J.

Scannell. The M. Powers Company was a copartnership formed by Marks and Charles Castle and steps were taken on May 18, 1900. to secure the dissolution of the company, Browne being made receiver.

1000, by Marks as a memDer ot uie Powers Company and that the commissions under those contracts should be paid to the receiver, the amount being $23,233. Marks makes answer that he has turned over the contracts and all moneys received under them to the receiver and that the first five items in the complaint were included in the accounting that he made to the receiver, and he further alleges that the other items named in the complaint have to do with contracts that he (Marks) entered into subsequent to the appointment of the receiver and in his individual capacity with the International Fire Engine Company and the receiver had nothing to do with those contracts. Mr. Strauss asked that a referee be appointed to ascertain and report to the court the facts in the case. Justice Giegerich reserved decision.

CRAZED BY RELIGION. Furniture' Mover George Thompson Began Smashing Things in His Home. George Thompson, a furniture mover, 27 years old, of 520 Myrtle avenue, suddenly became insane this morning over religion and began smashing everything in his home that he could lay his hands on. Thompson had frequently talked on religion with his sister and a little brother, and seemed much af fcted because they did not, in his opinion, take the interest in the subject he did. The loss of a favorite brother about two months ago aggravated Thompson's affliction.

This morning neighbors noticed something strange at the Thompson home and sent word to the Classon avenue station. Officers Jesse Murfitt, George Knight and Reilly were sent around to the Jiouse. When the policemen reached there they went into the rooms through a rear door. They found Thompson In his underclothing, barricaded with a stove and refrigerator behind a front room door, apparently awaiting developments. He gave the officers a rousing reception.

As Policeman Murfitt went to take him he got a stunning blow on the jaw, and it required the combined efforts of the three policemen before Thompson could be removed to the Classon avenue station. A physician from the Brooklyn Hospital pronounced him insane and he will be removed to day to the Kings County Insane Asylum. MAL.0NE MEN WITH DOYLE.
