Charges Prove
to Be Unfounded
Founded upon affidavits purported
to have been made by C. O’Brien, A.
Nieholis, Frank Litz and Edward J.
Fox, former inmates of the Morning
side Hospital for the Insane at Mt.
Tabor, Oregon, the Nome Chamber of
Commerce reflects upon that institu-1
tion in a way that the facts do not jus
tify. The department of the interior
has looked into the matter, and speak
ing through Stephen T. Mather, as
sistant to the secretary, writes the
Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Cham
ber of Commerce, in part as follows:
“The Nome Chamber of Commerce
upon securing the affidavits of O’Bri
en, Nicolis and Fox, did not give the
department an opportunity of investi
gating and disproving same, but
promptly printed and circulated the
same extensively, which action the de
partment has construed as an attack
upon its administration of the care of
these insane, with which the depart
ment is charged by existing law. No
other construction can well be placed
upon the matter, as the chamber of
commerce offers no alternative meth
od for administering this charge, ex
cept a vague suggestion to the effect
that these insane—
May receive a benefit by being
removed to that so-called sanator
ium and located somewhere in
Alaska where they can receive
good kind humane treatment.
“The department has been to some
pains to investigate the charges made j
by O’Brien, Nicolis, and Fox, and to '
reply to the Nome Chamber of Com
merce. The department has been
able to show that Fox’ affidavit is of
no consequence as to facts therein set
up; and that the other two affidavits
are unworthy of credence.
“Attention is particularly invited to
the department’s invitation to the
Nome Chamber of Commerce to sub
mit any facts as to crippling or dis
ablement of any patient heretofore
under treatment in Momingside Hos
pital through ill .treatment at the in
stitution; and also to present specifi
cations for a substitute method of car
ing for these insane which would be
equal to, or an improvement upon the
present method.
“I particularly desire to dissipate
the impression which may be gained
from reading the statements frequent
ly given circulation, as in this in
stance, to the effect that these insane
are turned over to a private corpora
tion for exploitation for gain without
effort on the part of this department
to regulate their care and treatment.
The department has repeatedly gone
to much trouble and expense to give
publicity to its calls for proposals for
care of the Alaskan insane, and to in
vestigate most carefully the facilities
offered by bidders therefor. Award
of contract- has been made in each
case only after the most careful con
sideration by well-informed officers of
the department of proposals made,
and during the existence of all con
tracts for this service has caused fre
quent and rigid inspections to be
made, not only by its own employes,
but by specially qualified agents, such
inspections occurring without advance
notice to the management of the hos
pital.
Prompt action has invariably been
taken by the department to rectify un
favorable conditions which have been
developed from its inspections, and
the situation now- is that these insane
are receiving as good care and treat
ment as are the majority of the insane
public charges throughout the coun
try; in fact, taking into consideration
the scale of living to which the larg
er proportion of these insane were ac
customed in Alaska, if is likely that in
the majority of the cases under treat
ment they are better fed, clothed,
housed and generally provided for
than they were before their committ
ment.
“The condition which has given the
department most uneasiness during
the past three years has been one
common to nine-tenths of the publicly
supported hospitals for the insane,
namely, overcrowding; and it is grat
ifying to state that arrangements are
now in progress to affqrd much more
room at Momingside hospital by in
crease in buildings.
“It has occurred to me that possi
bly a representative, or committee, of
the Alaska bureau of the Seattle
Chamber of Commerce may be suffici
ently interested in this matter to un
dertake an inspection of Momingside
hospital, in order that judgment may
be had at first hand as to the condi
tions and surroundings affecting the
care of the Alaskan insane in that in
stitution. Such inspection, coupled
with study of the conditions in the ter
ritory under which these insane would
come in event of their transfer for
care and treatment to the territory, it
is thought might modify the opinion
expressed in your letter that AftsfcaV
insane could be more humanely cared
for in Alaska among their friends,
and that the contract system under
which they are now cared for at Mom
ingside is not conducive to efficient
nr humane treatment. If this inspec
tion is practicable to be made please
advise me, as it would afford a ready
means of carrying into effect the sug
gestion contained in your letter that
an investigation is advisable.
“Cordially yours,
(Signed) “STEPHEN T. MATHER,
