The article IN question was pub
lished in good faith, and was OBJ
tanned from what was considered
reliable source. Word reached
this office, however, from Madison
Vile, that there was some dissatis-
faction there concerning the pub
lication of the item, and that the
exact facts in the case might be as
certained, a representative was
sent to the town. In justice to
the Reinecke coal mining company,
the company store, and their man
ager, Mr.. /. Bailey, it is fair to
state that the item was greatly ex-
aggerated, although it had its
foundation of truth.
The Reinecke mining company,
in connection with the general
store, has been under the manage
ment of Mr.. /. Bailey Tor about
ten years, and If the word of the
oldest and most substantial citizens
is to be believed, the whole trend
of the company and its manager
during this time has been to build
up the town.
The Reinecke company is one
of two companies having mines
within a mile of Madisonville, and
EMPLOYS about 400 workmen in
the busy season, using the machine
system of mining altogether. The
store. which IS owned by the com
panv, carries a large stock of gem
eral merchandise, and is expected
of course, to catch greater por-
ton of the trade of the miners.
The store is in the middle of the
town, about one mile from the

They made no direct charge
against them. Kortlander says
they told DIR. Letcher that "they
could not associate with them and
keep their selt-respect. DR..
Letcher promised these malcon-
tents that he would investigate
their Insinuated charge, and, il
found true, would discharge them.
Naughton, on the same day, having
learned that trouble had arisen,
LETT the place and has not since
been employed. A few days ago,
Dr. Letcher, believing it best for
the institution, asked Miss Foley
for her resignation, and she gave
it. The evidence, as far as | heard
does not show Miss Foley to be Of
immoral character; as she has been
removed, | felt it unnecessary to
make any searching investigation
OF her character. | could get
nothing out of Kortlander, even by
rigid cross-examination, other than
that he had a personal grievance
toward DIR. Letcher. 1t arose in
this way. For some time the in
stitution was without a first assist.
ant physician. Kortlander being
a graduated doctor, was taken from
the drug room and placed in
charge of one OF the wards as as
sistant physician to help along
with the work till you could ap-
point first assistant physician.
Prior to that time, while acting
as druggist, he did not take his
meals at the official table, but with
the attendants. When he was ele-
waited to the place of physician, he
appears to have assumed very much
greater dignity than formerly; be-
came at once great stickler for
every courtesy accorded to a regu-
larly appointed physician, and be-
cause DIR. Letcher neglected to in
vite him at once to the official table
and consult him in the matter Of
treatment of patients, and manage
ment of the asylum as he. would a
regularly appointed physician,
Kortlander took offense, and lost
no opportunity when speaking to
discontented attendants and out
siders who had sought positions in
the asylum at your hands and at
DIR. Letcher's, and failed to get
them, to speak disparagingly Of
DR. Letcher and the management
of the asylum. His complaints
were, and are so childish and in
significant that details would excite
only ridicule in the minds of fair
minded men.
(Here the Inspector takes up the
relations existing between DIR.
Letcher and another assistant ply
sician, but because this matter IS
still under investigation this por-
tion of his report is not given out
for publication.
Ia regard 10 the beer drinking
episode mentioned in the foregoing
an inquiry made Of Mr. Anderson,
The bee., 1896-05-21

steward of the asylum, develops
the fact that about three weeks
ago he went into the city OF Hop
kinsville on official business, and
while there in a grocery store (not
a saloon, DR.. MRS. Hauser and
Miss Cromwell, matron. drove up
to the front of the store and
one of them said: "Judge, you
look like you had been drinking"
He replied that he had been drink
ing water, and offered to bring
them a drink of water. One OF
them jokingly remarked that they
would rather have some beer. He
then invited them to come into the
store, saying that he frequently
sent out and got beer for his wife
when she came with him to the
city, and that she would drink it
there in the store, and that he
would send for some for them.
They then went into the store,
and Mr.. Anderson sent for ten
worth of beer, in pitcher, just
two glasses, and they drank it.
The ladies are very much mortified
over the reports made about this;
they acknowledge that their act
was indiscreet and express great
sorrow for 1t. 1t is, they say, the
only time such thing has occurred
and will not occur again. | have
thus gone into the details Of this
investigation, not because be-
lieved it necessary, but to show
you, il possible, how small, how

In proof of these statements,

To representative of The Cou-

fed to the good reputation of the
Reinecke company and MIR. Bailey,
among whom were number of
miners, both in his and other
mines, some of whom had been
discharged by him.
An investigation of the books oi
the store showed that instead oi
squeezing the miners, almost all
of them were indebted to the com
pany for provisions, and during
the summer season. for years have
always been SO. Farther, It was
shown that Mr.. Bailey, as a sort
of missionary work, had erected for
employees sixteen dwellings, all OF
which had been paid for at the will
of the employees. "

Correction of a Misleading Article Which

This article, head lines and all,
appeared in the Evansville Courier
of May I4th. This retraction was
predicted by THE BEE last week,
and is result of thorough in
vestigation by reporter for the
Courier who went to Madisonville
for the purpose. The information,
too, upon which the retraction is
based was gotten from outside
parties, as the reporter devoted
only few minutes to Mr.. l. Bailey,
Secty. Of Reinecke Coal Co. The
Courier wanted Mr.. Bailey to write
just anything he wanted and they
would publish it, but he refused:

Especial to the Courier. THE
practice of large corporations issu-
ing checks instead of money to
their employees has been carried on
it is believed, to greater extent
in this city than anywhere else.
1t began a few years ago, when the
Reinecke coal company began Civ
ing their miners half of their wages
in checks on their company store.
This worked so well-for the store
that in a short time the percent
age paid in checks was increased
until only 10 per cent is now paid
in cash.
The company store then, it is
reported, made contracts with the
section boss of the Louisville &
Nashville railroad to have the sec
ton hands paid in checks, and the
result is that the whole town is
flooded with these checks, and il
is difficult to cash them for hall
their face value. The laboring
people of the city want to pay
their rents IN these checks because
they have no money and all ar
ticles, such as drugs, meat, and
books and papers, which cannot
be purchased at the company store
have TO be got with the checks al
mach less than their face value
for INGREDIENTS and landlords have

they buy from the company stor'
with checks than when they pa,

Frankfort, KY, May 9, 1890
Hon. w. o. Bradley, Governor Of
Kentucky: AS ordered, by you, |
went to 'Hopkinsville April 20, to
investigate the conduct of officials
of Western Insane Asylum. / did
not call at the asylum until had
run down each and every rumor
concerning the management OF the
institution, in the city of Hopkins
ville. | called before me Mr..
Gardner, who was reported to have
witnessed some "shockingly I'M
moral conduct" on the part Of some
of the officials. All that he could
or did state was that about two or
three weeks ago he went into a
grocery store (not a saloon) form
erly owned by Anderson, steward
OF the asylum, and saw Mr.. An
derson pouring from pitcher two
glasses of beer, one for Dr. (Mrs, }
Hauser, and one for Miss Crom-
well, matron OF the asylum, 1t is
the only time he ever saw any con-
duct OF tina. character, and no one
else seems to have heard of any
such, or seen anything in the con
duct of these officials to be con.
.demned.
next called before me DR.,
Kortlander, late druggist at the
asylum, He was reported TO have
seen and learned positively that
gross immortality in and about the
asylum among the officials and at
tendants was the regular order of
the day, When required by me
to state what he knew, he was
utterly unable to point out a sin
gle instance Of immortality or mis-
conduct on the part of any one.
SoiAe time ago, Thomas Naughton,
and his neice, Miss Ellen Foley, a
daughter Of his sister, were EN-.
ployed at the asylum. Naughton,
who served in the same capacity
several years while DIR. Rodman
was Superintendent, is reported to
be a very competent man. He
was made general supervisor Of
the male wards 10y DR.. Letcher,
and jim the disc barge OF his duty

attendants. They went in a body
