DREAD Bur 40 SURRENDER.
The Terrible Plight of the striking Cloak
Makers.

NEW YORK. Nov. IT, The cloakmak-
ers, who are striking for higher wages
and better conditions, are face to face
with hunger. TheiI cry now Is, "Bread!
Bread! GIVE US breadv' but they do not
talk OF surrender.
The leaders Of the strike are at their
wits end. They have begged for assist
ance in any form. but it has not come.
Ihe strikers appear not to care whether
they starve or not They look like men
driven to the last extremIfy-men
who are prepared for almost any
thing. The Delegates to the convention
of the United Garment W orkers' OF
America, which will meet here next Mon
day. have promised that they Will levy
assessment OF $4,000 on the entire or
ganization for the support Of the strikers,
but il Will be a long time before this aid
IS forthcoming.
In the damp, dark basement of Wat
haIla Hail nearly 1000 men who have
been turned out Of their homes with tneir
families, because they are not able to pay
their arrears in rent, have been compelled
to sleep on the hard board floor. Their
wives and their children they have left
with eighbors who have still a roof to
cover their heads.

Against the Insane Asylum
superintendent
CHARGES ARE TWELVE
Comprising Fully Two Hundred
Specifications.
a Thorough Investigation to
Follow.

1t appears the engineering for Dr..
McCasey's removal as superintendent at
the insane asylum has already been
started. and through Populist influences,
not Republican.
Dr. McCasey has made hard fight to
retain his position, which pays him a
salary Of $500 a year and all expenses
but It has been d losing fight, although
he has been protected by the present
administration.
The pretended Investigation by the pre-
sent state board of charities was nothing
more than farce. and by Governor
LewelAng refusing to order legislative
investigation Of the asylum, DIR. McCasey
continues 70 be a menace to the welfare
of one of the most important Of our
state institutions.
NOtwithstand N lng his success up to this
time lis holding on TO his Office DR..
McCasey viii soon be removed
"a prominent Topeka POpulist lawyer
is now preparing formal charges against
Dr. McCasey which viii be hIed with
Governor MorrIl during the first week Of
his administration. The charges now
being prepared contain twelve distinct
charges and over 2JO specifications and
when they are fled with Governor Nor
rill regular public legislative investi-
cation of the asylum viii be ordered.
The twelve charges which DR. McCasey
viii be compelled TO face and attempt to
prove himself not guilty are as follows:
1-lncompeIen
2-CriminaI negligence.
3-Falsifying
4-Dafamation Of character of officers
and employees.
On rgIect of duty.
6-Injuring state property.
7-lusulting officers.
c-lnattentlOn TO patients.
9-Csing state property for personal
benefit.
1U-InsUbordinatiOn to mem ber5 of
state board of charities
ll-EndAn gerIng lives Of patients
12-lnsulrng language to women en-
plOyes.
These twelve charges contain 200 speci-
icafions.
There are a few members Of the pres
ent administration who would be glad TO
have DR.. NcCasey resign, as they know
he is Incompetent, and by resigning
within the next few weeks he might pos
sibly save the POpulist administration
the disgrace Of public investigation.
Unless the Populists do something to
straighten out the state institutions them
selves before the first of January, the
asylum, reform school and the school for
imbecile youths at Winfield, viii all be
subjected to regular legislative investi-
cations.
