BROWN (Kecand article of @ series conditions at the Western Washingtes Heepltal fer the Insane, by = former @ Seattle trained nurse.) Y¥ poor husband! He didn’t understand. The doc- tors filled him up with high-sounding words and persuading argument. He thought they knew what they were talking about. They had him thoroly con- vinced I was an idiot, so that everything I did, every move, every word, was misinterpreted as another sign of insanity. They convinced him the “hospital” was the proper place—an excellent place—to send me. It is easy for doctors to do that. As they were getting ready to take me out of the hospital here in Seattle, shackled with iron chains, an incident ocegrred that I neglected to mention In my first articte. 1 was too weak to stand alone. The shackles hurt my ankles. My shoes—they had put them on the wrong feet-—were pinching me. I tried to speak and couldn't, and I put out my hands to a nurse for mercy FRIGHTENED GIRL SCREAMS, DRAWS AWAY, APRON TORN OFF I touched her apron. Poor girl! She wns frightened to death, She sereamed, She pulled away.. I was falling. To support myself I clutched her apron and it was torn, ‘They put me on a street car, or the Interurban train, for Tacoma. T had no idea whieh way I was headed or where I wan going. My husband, thinking he was only being kind to me, hadn't told me where, ‘he was doing what was bent. t be) went, now and then oan ng cy on about me. 1 could hear at times in the 0 Volces of men. Then the woman attendant, my escort, who bert nervous, would put her hand over mine and my, “Oh, she's right.” Somebody came along the alsle and stepped on my painful feet. I remember moving them, and how heavy they were, and sore. I think it must have been then that the shackles were taken off, SICK, TERRIFIED, IS HALF-DRAGGED INTO “HOSPITAL” We left the train, entered an automobile. We reached the “hospital.” Someone was leading me thru a hall. Someone said, “Walt tll I unlock this door.” ‘What sort of hospital was this? What awful jall? These were thoughts that raced thru my mind, as I went along, half dragged, half dragging myself, sick, terrified, unable to epeak, to see clearly, or make myself understood. We were in some sort of dressing room, it seemed, They were tak- ing ott my clothes. " someone said. “Put your arms in this.” '“My God! They were putting me in a straight-jacket! 1, whe was too weak to lift a finger without help, was being put into one of those restraints for raving criminals! The shock was so great that I went unconscious. I didn't know what was happening after that until they were putting me in bed. I found myself in bed, and they were tying me down! KNEES SKINNED AND RAW; SHACKLES BRUISE ANKLES My sight returned an instant. What t maw was too much for my unstrung nerves and weakened body. I was soon unconscious again. But what I saw was this: My knees were all skinned and raw. Somewhere they had been dragging me. They had laced the leather jacket around me, cover. ing my hands, which were crossed upon my breast and bound so tightly down that I could scarcely breathe, And they were tying my feet—so tight I had bruises on my ankles for weeks. ‘Then they lashed me down with straps that attached to the Jacket so 1 couldn't move. Then I lost consciousness. And then, again I woke. 1 was in darkness, alone, sick. My bonds were crushing me, I felt that my heart, under that pressure, was giving out, that it could not beat, that it must stop, that I should die My heart has always been somewhat weak; I have always had to have lots of air. You who have never suffered from “nerves,” have never known the terrible agony of being alone, unable to move or lift your voice, can not understand the frightfulness of that night. No doctor came. I lay there, every moment becoming more unendurable with horror. No doctor came. DIDN’T KNOW THAT THIS AWFUL PLACE WAS STEILACOOM This was the “fine equipment,” this straight-jacket, and the “won- derful treatment” one gets in the Western “hospital” And all this time I did net know where I was. I had no idea this awful place was Steilacoom, the place I had heard so many pleasant things about, I wonderful if it wasn’t all a nightmare. If that sort of thing wouldn't drive a weakened woman raving mad, what will? God was good to me. He pulled me thru in spite of them. Morning at last. An attendant came in. I heard her command me to get up. Then she unlashed me. [ tried to rise, I couldn't. 1 was too weak almost to move, She pulled me up, My limbs wobbled, I swayed and was about to sink to the floor. She grabbed my hair ‘and held me up by that! In spite of this 1 couldn't stand. I staggered. She struck me with her fist on the side of the head and I went down, unconscious. ; This happened twice. Each time she put me back into bed and strapped me down. She came a third time. She wanted me to eat. She put some food into my mouth with a spoon. I couldn’t speak; neither could I eat. I had lost control of the muscles of my throat. The food ran out, because I couldn’t swallow it. She struck me a third time on the side of the head, and I went unconscious again. ** * (TOMORROW—How they tortured me by cutting my fingernails into the quick. ) and filled iD? THEY TASTE.

He objected to the ferries being leased to people on the east side of the lake. Alexander Stuart, as a representa tive of the Vashon island community, which one week ago filed a protest against the Vashon ferry system, asked that the management of the system remain as it is. P. Smock and James R. Chambers, talso Vashon island, affirmed the statement of Stuart. DEMOCRATIC CLUB MAN OPPOSES LEASING PLAN D. T. Davies, delegate from the King County Democratic club, spoke in opposition. to the leasing of the ferry system in any form, He asked in behalf of the Democratic club that if the ferries must be leased, that the different communities be given a chance to lease their own ferry sys tems. E. L. Wiener, secretary of Municipal league, declared the league was in favor of three prin ciples: First, the leasing of the sys fem; second, the deferring of the leasing for 60 days in order to give time for advertising in marine jour nals and such publications, and third, the serious consideration of the county commissioners in”regard to granting leases to various communi- ties who wish to care for their ferry system. M. A. Rees, of Bellevue, suggested that the lease be divided into two units, the lake unit and the salt wa- ter unit, He also asked that time be given for Bellevue to place a bid be | fore the commission, the Clear Policemen Who Killed Man Holding that Mitchell Doyle, al leged gunman, was killed by Patrol man W.

LUMBER ORDER IS PUZZLE HERE Shipping Board’s Meaning Is Asked by Chamber The lumber committee of the Chamber ofgCommerce met Monday with representative shipping men to discus the shipping board's new order to discontinue forthwith the booking of lumber cargoes for the Orient, It was decided to try to find out exactly what the order means.. The order merely suspends, bookings without explanation, “It is impossible to take action until we find out what) the order really means,” said Frank Water house, one of the biggest lumber exporters on the Pacifie Coast, “It may be only temporary whiie the shipping board rearranges rates. Rates are too low now to make any money. “If we can't carry lumber at. all, the ogder will be a severe blow to a basic industry. It will tle up a great nuunber of ships because lum- ber is the principal export.” Walter B. Nettleton, umber mag- nate, declared the lumbermen them- selves would be unable to absorb any rate increase, if the shipping board intends to increase rates, with- out raising the price of lumber.
