The KILLING OF COMBS
Secretary Hart Returns From
the Investigation at
Rochester.
A Formal Meeting of Trustees
for the Insane to Be
Held To-Day.
DR.. Bowers Says He Made No
Report Because 1t Slipped
His Mind.
A Searching Inquiry Into the
Affair to Be Made by
the Trustees.

Secretary Hart, of the state board OF
charities and corrections, returned last
evening from Farbault. Mr.. Hart left
Rochester Monday night, after the
trustees of the Rochester asylum had
adjourned their investigation of the
management of that institution. He
expected to meet Gov. Merriam at Fari-
bault, but his excellency was detained
in St. Paul, ana MIR. Hart
az once communicated with him
by. wire, stating that the board of
trustees desired to meet him to-day.
Gov. Merriam, however, will not be
able to meet the trustees until to-mOr-
row, though formal meeting of the
board will be held to-day. Mr.. Hart
could offer no definite opinion of the
outcome of the inquiry already made
into the management of Rochester
asylum. He conceded DR.. Bowers had
made great mistake in not reporting
the murder to the board of trustees;
that should have beer done without any
delay; but he admits that any investi-
CATION into the management of the asy-
lum must be of a searching and far
reaching character.
NOTHING TANGIBLE
could be done before the interview by
the trustees with Gov. Merriam. 1t was
Gel tain that the grand jury would under
take an investigation into the affairs of
the hospital; that the trustees would
have to continue theirs; and that proba
bly, Gov. Merriam, through the board of
charities and corrections, would sift the
startling charges now in circulation of
the gross mismanagementO of the asylum.
Mr.. Hart says that a better class of at
PENDANTS is absolutely essential. The
rate OF wages now paid is
much too small. The supervisor of
the women's side, having charge of 200
women, receives the munificent sum of
$50 per month, with board. On the
other hand, the matron Of the state
prison, with three women to look after.
is in the receipt of $40 per month and
board. All such questions would be
thoroughly taken up in the investiga-
lions to be held. Mr.. Hart is convinced
that every Official and attendant would
be called to account for every case of
culpable neglect which may be un-
earthed.

DIVIDE THE WORK.
Homeopathic Physicians Strike a
Blow at the Present System Of
ASYLUM MANAGEMENT.

Homeopathic Physicians Strike a
Blow at the Present System of
Asylum Management.
The executive committee of the state
Homeopathic society met in the parlor
of the Merchants hotel last evening
and proceeded to discuss matters peril
nent to the appointment of superin-
tendent for the new hospital for insane,
at Fergus Falls. There were twelve
repre- sentatives present, three of whom
were women. Soon after the meeting
was called to order and the debate
opened, it was apparent that the major
ity of those present favored radical
changes in tie system now pursued in
tina management and maintenance
of the hospitals throughout the
state. The committee was convened to
decide upon some suitable person whom
it should recommend to the trustees of
the board of correction and charities for
the position of superintendent of the
new institution. In lengthy address
made by one of the gentlemen present,
and heartily seconded by several others
of the committee, it was proposed that
if an appointment should be made it
should be made with view to the
grounding of an entirely new system of
hospital government. Heretofore the
plan has been to employ a so-called SUI
perintendent, to whom the state board
looked for a proper discharge of
the duties and treatment pertaining
to each and every department of the
hospital. A so-called steward was the
next official beneath the superintend-
ent, whose duties were also relative to
nearly every department of the general
work. These two men and their SUBJ
Ordinates constituted the officials ant
attendants necessary to carry out the
ancient ideas of the proper mainten-
ance of asylum functions, and the lest

The st. Joseph team beat Minneapo-

much for the local men. who only Sc
cured four hits in nine innings. The
feature of the game, aside from the
slugging of the Missourians, was the

most popular umpire in the assocla-
tion.n McDermott's decisions on balls
and strikes were very satisfactory, and
his base decisions were better than

except in the sixth, when he put Wagon
hurst out on first after Flood and Cart
wright had palpably failed to do so.
But the guying he got was for showing
his temper and working the lower part
of his face too much. He sent Moxie
Hengle out of the coachers' lines for
alleged boisterous coaching, which
no one but Sandy himself lad
been able to hear. He also
sent Hanrahan to the bench for ike
reason, and fined MoXie SO for asking

AGAIN ST. PAUL.
The Local Foot Ballists Beat the
Minneapolis Thistles.

A large crowd of foot ball enthusiasts
assembled last evening on the grounds
of the home team, at the corner OF
Laurel and Victoria streets, to witness
the second round of the association cup
ties. just before 7 O'clock time was
called, and the game started. The
Minneapolis Strollers, having won the
toss, elected to play with the sun at
their backs. Brown, the st. Paul cen
ter, kicked off, the ball was carried
down to the Strollers' goal and neatly
put between the posts by McCullOch.
The ball was again set in motion by
the Strollers. and during the re-
mainder of the first half, play was very
equally divided. In the second half st.
Paul pulled together little better, and
soon scored by nice shot from IL.
Powell, st. Paul's new second half
back. Murphy followed this up by
scoring once more for the home team
now stood three goals to nothing in
favor of st. Paul. and it was evident
that the StrOllers could not possibly re-
deem their loss. No further scoring
took place. and the home team there
fore came out three goals ahead of their
opponents. Brown played a plucky
game for st. Paul. as also did Radcliffe
and Powell. For the StrOllers Pfingle
and Price worked hard. and acted very
judiciously. The teams were as fol-
lows:
St. Paul was composed Of A. Lunt, goal;
W. l.. Stewart, W. R. Radcliffe, backs: 5. L..
Titus, Fl. Powell, N. Dunn, half backs;
forwards: j. b. Darling, G.. Murphy, right

win their next game they will pass into
the final cup tie, which takes place
June IS, 90 and July 2. The association
will present the winning team with gold

A MINNEAPOLIS GAME.
A scratch eleven of the Canadian foot
ball club played the ST. Anthony cluD
ON the grounds of the latter club last
evening in Minneapolis. The game was
called at 7:15 p. NJ, Teeple winning the
toss and choosing the western goal with
the sun OH his back. Both clubs played
good ball. At half time the score stood
one each. The five minutes wind seemed
to do the Canucks considerable good and
When they again toed the scratch a
fierce light shone in their eyes. In the
next ten rounds they won two games,
and when time was called the score
stood to in favor of the Canadians.
This is the first time these two new
clubs have come together. and the re-
suit is hardly what was anticipated. A
return game will probably be played
some evening next week.

Reporting Combs Murder.

Reporting Combs Murder.
Special to the Globe.
ROCHESTER, June 4.-John F. Meagh-
er, one of the members of the insane
asylum board, says: "We are going
right to the bottom of this matter. If
men have been killed here by attend
ants, we are going to sift the stories
to the bottom and get the guilty par
ties. We are going to find out who is
responsible; and if the asylum has been
badly managed, that is coming out
too" At the meeting of the
board yesterday afternoon DR.. Bowers
made a long statement. He

ticulars. He did not think it worth
while to talk with the attendan is
further, as he was convinced that they
had lied. The doctor admitted that
Date had told him that according to
the statements made by one of the in
mates those fellows had killed Combs"
Bowers says he talked the case over
with the steward and DR.. Collins, and
the question of arresting Beckman and
Peterson was discussed, but always
they came back to the fact that there
was 10 reliable evidence save that of
young Date. 1t was finally determined
to reprimand and discharge them. DR..
Bowers continued:
81 told them the story that John Date had
told me, and they claimed that they did it in
self-detense. They gave up their former
story, and said that Combs was talking of
butcher knives. They took him down to
make him shut up. That probably was their

care and most scientific application and
treatment of the unfortunate beings
confined to their charge. The PROPOSE
ton offered last evening, to be en-
bodied in the recommendation to
the state board, was that there
shall be superintendent Of the
medical department and its subsidiary
work and treatment, who shall have
full control and charge OF the patients.
shall prescribe to their wants, study
their cases and further general dag
nosis of mental diseases, and who shall
have the power to direct either the ac-,
QUESTION of attendants and nurses or
order their discharge. The other head
of the institution to be the financier::l
he TO provide for the subsistence and
care of all else not under the medical
department The members of the COM,
mittee were almost unanimous in the,
opinion that by dividing the manage
ment into two such departments
it would not only be a great
boon to inmates but save the
state of Minnesota another snch a
scandal as the murder of Combs at
ROcheSter--an indelible stain, to say
the least, The idea that one man can,
justly be held responsible for the In
tricate working of such an institution as
state hospital for the insane is absurd.
One man is either fitted only as bust
ness and general manager, or he Is only
efficient in the science of medicine, and :
cannot govern the commercial wheels or
the asylum without experimenting and
laundering. 1t has been proven that
some of the superintendent are pos
sessed of neither of the requisite quail
ties for the successful guidance OF
asylum affairs. Each asylum should
have the best medical tai
ent the country affords, and
the state should not hesitate to enlist
such person, and pay him a salary
worthy of his attachments. He could
then devote his entire time to the study
and care of patients and their atfec-
tons, and at that, he would have plenty
to do. The other official should have
nothing to do with this department
other than to be able and competent to
comprehend and aid it. The duties
would then not devolve upon one head
only to be delegated to irresponsible
and incompetent subordinates who have
shown the appalled, public what can be
perpetrated without the knowledge
of the superintendent. The COM
mittee agreed to make the above
recommendations and put itself
upon the records of the state ds being
the first body urging reform in the sys-
TEN for the care and treatment of the
insane. The late revelations of murders
in Illinois asylums and one in this state
have made the present propitious time
to strike such blow at the defective
systems. DIR. TObey, of st. Paul, and
DR.. Williamson, of New York, are can
didates for the position at the Fergus
Falls institute, and the meeting closed
without definite appointment.

George Keefe's great pitching in first

every time he faced his great nameSake,
and fielded his position well. The SEN
ators won the game in the ninth inning
