I FATHER MURPHY LEAVES BOARD OF MID VALLEY Olyphant Priest Will Continue As County Visitor Explains Stand in Letter. Rev. P. J. Murphy, rector of St.

Patrick's church, Olyphant, after the 10:30 o'clock mass yesterday mornins, rtad his resignation as a director ot the Mid Valley Hospital association. The hospital board at a recant meeting requested the resignation ot the priest, who several weeks ago In newspaper interviews criticized the management ot the hospital, declaring it to be ex travaeant. He also made a complaint to Biomley Wharton, secretary of the State Board, of Charities. In reading his resignation Father Murnhv declared that he was not re signing because of the request of the board, saying that the association alone lias the right to make that re niicst. He was leaving the board, he said, because of his holding office as county visitor tor the state charities.

Under the rules of the state board a visitor may not be a member of the board of directors of a hospital that he visits in the course of his work for the state organization. During his talk Father Murphy said that he suspected that secret societies are back of the persecution of him by the hospital board. Ho declared also that the directors had for a long time maneuvered to get him off the hospital board so that they could run the institution in their own way, and that for a long time the directors had shown a disposition to reduce the number of Catholic directors of the hospital association. PRESIDENT'S ANSWER. Edward S.

Jones, of this city and Blakely, president of the hospital board, said yesterday that at a meeting ten days ago the directors present, by a unanimous vote, requested the resignation of Father Murphy, because he had violated a resolution ot the board by publishing articles concerning the hospital without the board eanctioning the publications. Mr. Jones also said that the secretary of the state charities had written saying that Father Murphy must resign the hospital directorship or his office as county visitor, as both were not com patible to the rules of the state or tanizatlon. Mr. Jones told that W.

J. McQarry, assistant general agent for the state charities, had recently in Bpectcd the hospital and made a very favorable report of the management and condition of the institution. That inspection, he said, followed the lodg ing of complaints by Father Murphy with the state charities. In answer to Mr. Jones, the pastor said that Mr Wharton had given him the highest commendation as county visitor and that he had asked him to continue in that office.

Father Murphy also declared that today he will send letters to the directors of the First National bank of Olyphant, ask ing that Mr. Jones be requested to re sign the presidency of that institution, on the ground that the banking com petition is so keen that a president should make friends and not antagonize persons, which the priest said Mr. Jones has done by his manage ment of the hospital. rather Murphy, In criticizing the action of the hospital directors in de mantling his resignation, told the members of his parish how in 1910 and 1911 when the hospital buildings had been abandoned for a year, after they were partly completed, and there were no funds in sight he went to Philadelphia and sought the aid of Senator James P. McNichol In getting a state appropriation.

The result, he said, was that the hospital got 117,000 from the legislature that year and it was possiblo to complete the buildings. "The men who sat idle then and did rot lift a hand to help build the hos pital are doing all In their power to control and run it in their own way, he said. DIRECTORS LETTER.

The plan was announced by George Gothier, delegate from the Clgarmakers' union, at the session of the Central Labor union.

The central body named a committee to co operate with the cigar makers in the work, Mr. Gotliier reported that his union had decided upon the use of a red seal on boxes of union made cigars turned out in the factories of this city. The seal carries the words, "Made In Scran ton" and would be used only on cigars that bring 130 and higher at whole sale. He explained that because ot the union men of this city not insisting on buying cigars made by their fellow unionists the Clgarmakers union has which the priest read after the mass yesterday, is as follows; Olyphant, April 12, 1915.

P. J. Murphy, Olyphant, Pa. Dear Mr: At the regular meeting of the board of of the Mid Valley hospital, held April 1915, (the following resolution was offered and adopted. Kesolved.

By the board of directors of the Mid Valley Hospital association, that owing to having violated a resolution of the board, adopted Oct. 16, 191 by said board of directors, in regard to publishing articles in the press without the sanction of said board, and having antagonistic views as to the methods of the board's work, that we respectfully ask the resignation of the Rev. P. J. Murphy as member of the board, and that the same be forwarded to him by the secretary.

By order of the board of directors, W. H. DAVIS, Secretary. FATHER MURPHY'S LETTER. Father Murphy's letter answering the request for his resignation, which he also read to the members of hla I parish and which has bee if sent to the hospital directors is as follows: Olyphant, April 12, 1915.

To the Directors of the Mid Valley Hospital, Gentlemen, have received jour resolution through your secretary, requesting mp resignation as a member questing my resignation as a member lish in the press your blundering ex travagant and inefficient financial man agement of the hospital. Your lack of knowledge of my posK tlon as leeal visitor of the charitable institutions of Lackawanna county Is in keeping with your extravagant administration of the charitable funds donated both by the state and the good peopje of the Mid Valley district for the economical management of this hospital. I have written you up in the press not as a director of the Mid Vat ley, but as a state official. You have no legal right, therefore, to request my resignation as a member of your board: and moreover, it is the Mid Valley association that elected me as director that possesses the power of requesting my resignation, and not the directors of the Mid Valley hospital. I hereby tender my resignation as director of the Mid Valley hospital through my own volition and not through any suggestion on your part, as I feel I can be more independent in looking after the proper administration of the hospital as county visitor of the Board of Public Charities of Pennsylvania in not being encumbered with the conscientious obligation as director of the Mid Valley hospital.

A few of the members of your board through prejudice and narrow mindedness have failed to appreciate my unselfish efforts to conduct the financial management of the hospital in conformity with modern science and economical principles. Respectfully, P. J. MURPHY. Rector.

St. Patrick's Church. P. S. For the present no sick calls at the Mid Valley hospital will be attended by the priests of Saint Patrick's parish, except the patient is in the im mediate danger of death.

BIG COMMUNITY OF PRISONERS AT FARVIEW IS PLAN (Continued from Page One.) ready, to be discharged as "cured." They were brought to Farview in shackles ivitli their limbs bound and their bodies en closed in straight jackets The State Board of Charities, in its annual report to the legislature, recommends $308,000 for Farview. Dr. Kitz slmmons, President Walton and members of the senate committee in conference yesterday went over plans to acquire the McKeen farm adjoining Farview. it contains 500 acres of farmland. Senator Clarence J.

Buckman, chairman of the appropriations committee, told The Scranton Republican reporter that tne land would be purchased by the state this year. Hundreds of demented prisoners in institutions throughout the state will be brought to Farview as soon as accommodations can be made for them. So much for figures. This is the real story the story of how fifteen men were brought back from living deaths and twenty more made ready to go out once more into the world and try life aiiiw. It is interesting from every viewpoint because Furview is the only insune asylum' of its kind in the whole world.

There are many asylums for the criminal insane in other states and Their systems are not those employed at Farview. NO SHACKLES USKD. Twenty men, including members of the senate committee, pages, residents of this city and visitors, alighted at the "front door" ot the asylum The air was different from that of the flats Here was mountain air, clean and pure As the party entered the reception hall eight miarda recruited from those on duty about the wards, right about fact in military fashion. The sergeant signaled and the Farview band struck a march tune. There were fourteen members of the band.

Eleven were Inmates, or patients. They entered Farview within the last twenty three months as maniacs It was explained that not one of them knew how to play any musical instrument when the shackles were taken off Mm. That is the first thing The handcuffs, Jackets and all other paraphernalia are removed Immediately after Dr. Kitzsimmons signs a receipt tor ine prisoner. The windows are barred.

That is the only sign of restraint that the committee saw yesterday, with one excep tion. One inmate, a man of about fifty years, seized with a religious mania, had been locked in 'his room for a few days. He was interviewed and voiced his complaint about cing kept where he didn't want to be. The religious mania was of such a nature that none of the other niiMit miite eauallcd him in nis ImaeMned One man. old and gray of hair and beard is slowly but surely coming to the realization of the event that sent him Amt to the Drisoners' dock.

In the shadow of the gallows, then to Norrls wn Itosoltal for the Insane and finally to Farview. He shot his daughter for a trifling reason. His case is typical, within the last few months he has been awakening from the clouded sleep that stilled all reason and nerved his finger to pull the gun that sent nis own. gin i hr crave. Not until lately has he realised his terrible crime.

He spends his spare moments with his head in his hands brooding over nis pas: xni. he would brood if he were allowed to, but, and here another secret, old yet newly applied, Is given, he Is compelled to work and work hard aM day until at night he is ready to drop into heavy "'work, and plenty of it, about the farm, orchard, stock yard or Industrial plant at the hospltatl. Is used in treating the criminal insane. It keeps them busy, prevents self reflection and gives thejn an object or purpose In living that slowly but surely wins them back to health. KINDNESS AND VIGILANCE.

Twenty three guards watch one hundred and eighty three paUcnts. The motto that has conquered the dread disease of insanity is kindness and eternal vigilance. Kindness and vigilance pervade the atmosphere as surely as the fresh mountain air that every half minute sweeps into every room in the place. This Is due to a system of ventilators, and to It more than any one other agency is attributed the remarkable suc cess in this most modern treatment the insane. Moving picture shows are held in the class or amusement room.

Church services were held yesterday as on every other Sunday. A double row of chairs, closely set, extend the length of the room facing the Improvised pulpit. Two services dally, Catholic in the morning, Protestant In the afternoon. While In the amusement room any person Is allowed to smoke. No one 1s handicapped inv wav excepting as some arrange ment may be needed to protect him from himself in a certain mania.

One man, who has two chalked up against him, wears a padded collar about his neck. Another wears for his outer garment, a bag of stout material. If that article Is removed the patient Immediately rips his clothes Into shreds. Dinner was served In the basement dnlng hall. Three of the four waiters are patients.

One. the most attractive and practiced servitor, known as Frank His real name Is known and used but It docs not enter Into this subject except In this way: Frank killed his father and mother one day many, many years aso because ho fancied that his father was planning to kill his mother. The patient was a school teacher before he was stricken. Today he Is editor of the Far view Echo, a weekly paper printed at the Institution. Frank shook hands wltn everybody whn Introduced and for ten minutes no vlsltdr in the room knew that he was talking to a patient.

BOMB ARE GUARDS. Scores and scores of others are tike Frank. Many are discharged prisoners and are guards over their fellow mon. Kindness, a rule at Farview, Is taken DUNMOREANS DO NOT LIKE BILL OF ANNEXATION Hold Indignation Meeting and Appoint Committees to Fight Plan. Dunmoreans do not like the idea of becoming Scrantonians.

That was the sense of an indignation meeting held yesterday afternoon in Manley's'hall to protest against the bill now in a senate, committee providing for the annexation of adjacent boroughs by second class cities. Should the bill become a. law Scranton would undoubtedly take Dunmore in to make a greater Scranton. Immediate action will be taken by Dunmore citizens to defeat the 1)111. School Controller Thomas Harrison calleu the meeting to order and Victor Burschcil was chosen chairman by ac clammatlon.

Attorney M. J. Murray was unanimously selected secretary. Mr. Murray was called upon to inform those present of the nature of the till.

in his opinion, he said, the present city administration ww anxious to have Scranton spread out as much as possible before tho ejbiration of their terms, and he said that he knew Mayor Jermyn, City Planner B. Moses, the mayor's cabinet and "henchmen" were more than desirous of getting Dunmore wltnin the city limits. Mr. Murray dcclarff THat Senator W. M.

Lynch was working for the passage of the bill and that he had the assistance of Representative Mills who was far removed from this section and was not acquainted with circumstances. The speaker said that the bill was "special and local legislation gotten up in a general way" with the express intention or annexing Dunmore to Scranton. OLDER THAN SCRANTON. Mr. Murray declared that Dunmore was not wanted by this city twelve years ago when tho streets and sewers ware not Improved and when their schools had not reached the toigh standard which has since been attained.

He admonished all Dunmore to act and act quickly to head off the bill and declared that should Dunmore become a pan oi Scranton taxes would not only be in creased but that they would bo prac tically without representation, wnicn, as in the days of yore, he declared. would constitute tyranny. Patrick O'Horo moved to have the meeting vote for or against the annexation bill to show how those present stood. Chairman Burschel called a vote and every one present voted against the bill. A.

T. Irwin delivered rather a caustic speech in which he asked that school board and boroufS council assist in the opposition to' the bill. Ho said that Dunmore's charter was older than that of Scrarilon by four years and that as they had gone along separately they could still do so. He said iJuiimore did not want any of Scranton disorderly houses or gambling Institutions "and compared the morals of Dunmore with those of Scranton, declaring Dunmore to be far above the central He said sections of the present city of: Scranton had been neglected and expected that Dunmore would fare a like fate should the bill become a law. declaring Mayor Jermyn could not deny these allegations.

OFFICIALS FIGHT SHT. School Controller Harrison did not approve of havinj the school board and council Join the fight because he thoi ght it would look as though they were in terested because of fear of losing their publiu offices, while the people in gen eral were against annexation. P. D. Man ley was the only one who appeared to be lukewarm for and tie said that Dunmore might get somo Industries if the borough was annexed.

It was finally voted to have a committee of fife prepare resolutions and petitions to be signed by citizens. These are to bo taken to Harrlsburg by a committee to be appointed later and presented to the governor and legislators. Another, meeting will be held in the auditorium of the Dunmore High school tomorrow evening when the. matter will again be taken up. The committee on resolutions follows: r.
