Horrible Treatment Of the Inmates Who are
Starved and Brutally Treated.

Starved and Brutally Treated.
Los ANGELES, September 1S.-The Trib-
une has published an extended account of
alleged cruelty and outrage inflicted upon
ders' home. The complaint covers the
charge of brutal treatment at the hands of
Gov. Treichel and the policemen, who COM
pei the veterans to perform the menial
offices, often forcing them from the home
after taking all their effects, including even
their clothing and shoes.
The meat furnished consists largely of
waste from the butcher shops and if any
complaint is made complainant is put in
the guard house or thrown out. Sick men
are forced to work or else are locked up.
Gov. Treichel is notional and arbitrary.
He refuses to allow the flag to fly over the
home upon any occasion, calling it nom
sensical custom. The flag pole blew down
months ago and has not been replaced and
the flag is lost. He abuses the G. A. r.
upon all occasions, and says he hates the
sight of the insignia of that order, though
himself veteran.
A Tribune special correspondent got ad-
mission to the heme and saw for himself
the actual condition of the place and Sc
deprivation, which are published.
Ex-Congressman II. III. Markham, the
resident director, knows of these things
and is now at Dayton, o., where he will lay
the whole matter before them and ask for
Trechel's dismissal.
The other officials are afraid to interpose
on behalf of the veterans for fear of person
al injury. The location of the home is
beautiful, but the grounds are neglected
and nothing has been done to beautify
them. Employment, which by law should
go to the veterans, is given TO outsiders
and exorbitant prices are frequently paid
The cruelty and neglect is so outrageous
that the veterans are on the eve OF mutiny
Many, to drown their sorrow, go to Sants
Monica and Los Angeles and get drunk fol
which they are forced to work the pump
an almost menial occupation, and upor
their refusal they are placed in the guard
house for long period or driven out PEN
niless.
The dead veterans are refused a soldiers
burial, and are dumped in the potter's tielC
without ceremony or respect. Several ban
ished veterans are now cared for at private
hospitals by the G. A. r. because they can
not stand the cruelty inflicted at the home
One of them, named Peter West, was forcet
to leave because he would not work on thu
dump. He was turned out with only som'
ragged clothing. His papers showing hi
honorable discharge were taken from hin
and he walked to Los Angeles, where he ar
rived sick and hungry. He had an epilep
tic fit in the streets of Los Angeles and II
! now in the county hospital.
Another inmate, Robert Grady, had TIT
same experience and is now in the Sisters
| hospital here at the expense of Crane

OFFICIAL PAPER or The CITY,
eAANp I'D. rnuRspAY. -. ..
A TO GRAND RIVER WATER.

The TXLEcRAM-HERALD, appreciatlng
the importance of the question of water
supply for the city, yields up large
amount Of its space-which IS just
now especially valuable-to two com
munications, one from Mr.. Freeman
Godfrey, and the other from Mr.. Hugo
Thum. Both these gentlemen are
without doubt sincerely and deeply IN
terested for the best interests Of the
city, from both sanitary and pecunlary
points Of view; but they diiier mate
rally in respect 70 the healthfulness
Of Grand river water. Mr.. Godfrey
compares the water Of the Thames
with that of the Grand river, to the ad-
vantage Of the Grand river, and quotes
sCaentifc authority 10 prove that the
water Of the Thames is wholesome.
On the other hand, Mr. Thum asserts
that the reports cited by Mr.. Godfrey
were all made twenty or more
years ago, when comparatively
little study had been made OF
the effects Of impure water IN prOduc-
ing disease, and hence DO not form a
safe basis for scienu6cdeductiOn today.
Mr.. Thum thinks there is a difference
in favor OF the Thames water from the
fact that the latter j. protected to a
considerable extent by the Government,
a parliamentary act having been passed
in 1896 compelling the towns and cities
above the point where the water Is
taken, 20 divert their sewage into other
channels. There is also, Mr.. Thum
thinks an advantage IN favor OF the
Thames water on accounto OF rs efficient
system Of subsidence and inhltrauOn.
The discussion Is one of scientific, "a
vel as of practical interest. We are
sure the readers Of the TELEGRAM
lIrR,lD VII be gratfed with the
opportunity 90 enhghten themselves on
the suhfect
