Protest by Manager Smith of Long Island State Hospital Against Cut in Appropriation. KINGS PARK NOW OVERCROWDED To: Keduce the Amount of State Asylum Tjy $340,000 Would Be Disastrous. (Special to the Eagle.) Jamaica, L. January 24 The managers of the Long Island State Hospital express considerable concern over the result of the reduced appropriation for state hospitals made In the annual supply bill now before the Legislature. The appropriation for mainte nance this year has been cut in the proposed act below that of last year and OOO of the schedule is to come from the wages of employes.

Dr. Evan F. Smith of 481 Franklin avenue secretary and member of the board, said this morning: "I do not see how the Governor can reduce 'the number of employes or the rate of wages without greatly injuring the service. Tiere are now employed, one attendant to nine pa tients at Kings Park and at Central Islip and we have no more help, than is absolute ly necessary for the Bafety and welfare of the patients. "Our female attendants are only paid per month at their first entrance upon their duties and after a long service they get as high as $20 per month.

The male attend ants get from $15 to $25 per month. The service is disagreeable and the duties ardu ous. We have exeat dimculty in getting suit able help at these rates. Our young men and women are continually leaving and we have to keep getting new help all the time from all parts of the country, rne Doaru mem bers have often said we could get a better class of helo If we could Day higher wages, but we. certainly have the best possible for the wages naid.

"We have to keep enough employes to watch the patients and restrain tliem trom harming each other, and in the case oi viO' lent ones it sometimes takes a man or woman to each patient for a while till we VERY CREAMERY BUTTER A Pound, Remember we are direct receivers of the finest Butter coming to this market, having our own connections with all of the leading creameries throughout the country.

I January 24 The Committee of Forty, who have been working to secure the construction of the Black well's Island bridge, held a special meeting last night to hear the report of the special committee sent to Washington to learn why the war Department was holding up the approval of the bridge The committee was composed of Peter A Leinlnger and J. Rufus Terry and they re ported having an interview with Secretary of War Root, who stated that the plans had not been approved owing to the failure of the Department of Bridges to comply with the instructions of the United States engineers. The committee stated that the Secretary of War had told them that all the delay was the fault of the Department of Bridges and not the War Department's fault The special committee stated that it could not make a report In mil, as it nad not re ceived some information from the War De nartment regarding the points in the plans that were in conflict with the United States engineers.

When His End Approached He Hurried to His Lawyer's Office to Execute Some Papers. (Special to the Eagle.) Kings Park, L. January 24 Suit has been begun to set aside the probate. of the will of Justice of the Peace William A. Burton, who died last November.

The suit is commenced by Mrs. Augusta Burton of New York, who claims to be his legal widow. This explains in part the great anxiety of Mr. Burton to reach his lawyers at North port When he felt that death was near, so that he could execute some papers' which It Is now believed pertained to his property. Mr.

Burton, it will be remembered, was taken ill in the morning and ne to ins wife here, with whom he resided and who was his second wife, that he felt he was going to die, and wanted her to drive him quickly to Northport. It was a distance of six miles' and the trip was made with much difficulty. He transacted a part ot nis Business and died a few hours later. Mr. Burton moved here about seven years ago and purchased a large farm.

It was generally understood that, as he claimed himself, he was a divorced man. About two years ago he was married to Isadora B. Nichols, the only daughter of his nearest neighbor, John Nichols. It was said that Mr. Nichols was to the marriage and a few weeks before It took place he committed sui cide.

That tne marnase anything to do with this was denied by the "lll torrid era t.nok dace there is no leeallv oerformed by a rain ister here. There was much surprise at the time of his marriage on account of the difference in their ages, the husband being fully thirty years older than his wife, who was about IS. Mr. Burton win was yrousn cu uacmuc. rA otiH ir nas oeen cmuiieu mai left between $20,000 and it is believed here that $5,000 will be nearer to the mark, as his farm is heavily mortgaged and at a public sale would not Dring uuy mure iuuu the mortgage.
