WOULD HAVE DIED ANYHOW.
Those Patients Who Met Violent Deaths nj
Jacksonville, Ills.

JACKSONVILLE, Ills, March i9.-Dr.
Watson, superintendent Of the hospital
for tho insane, was on the rack Tuesday,
though he was not very roughly handled.
Tho cause was the alleged exposures OF
abuses a. the institution. The man rep
resentins the Chicago newspaper making
the charges was ablo To give hearsay
mainly, though no said some Of the EN-
ployes had told him things, but he would
not tell any Of their names, though the
governor assured him their places would
be secure, 10 matter what they said.
There were no other material witnesses
except attendants and employees Of the In
stitution, and they all explained how the
accidents happened.
The man who was scalded was partly
paralyzed and had TO be cleaned several
times "a day and was very hard to take
care of The attendant took him TO the
bathroom and left him standing by the
tub with his clothes on while he went 10
got e9L.e clean garments in the room
near by and when he returned the man
was in the tub with I.io hot water on
him, turned either by himself "a .--~.her
patient. He died In eight days, but his
disease would have killed him at best.
The same was practically true OF the wo-
man, Sarah johnson, who was scalded.
She would have died, the witness SAID,
before long, at best. as mind and body
were failing. She was left for moment
while the attendant went for clean
clothes, and when tho latter returned she
was in the tub In hot water, which an
other patent had turned on.
Hannah Singer was suffering from
strangulated hernia and DIR. Watson
thought an operation TO be the only
means of saving her life. He performed
the ope .ation, but later she died. as she
would have done anyhow II the operation
had not been performed. Elizabeth sal
lee Dr.. Watson found neglected and suf-
fering from stiff knee joints lt was
deemed safe to give her anesthetics and
perform an operation, but she couldn'
rally. Bullock was a trusty and ran
away and was killed by train. Several
employees testified that the institution
was admirably managed at present and
| in many respects a great improvement
over anything in previ Ius years.

End OF the Celebrated Church Trial at
san Francisco.


SAN FRANCISCO, March 10 Rev. DR..
G. .. Brown of the First Congregational
church of this city, has been acquitted OF
the charges made against him. This celc-
bratel case, which has dragged its weary
length along since the middle of last De

that suits for slander In the regular
courts will be begun by many persons
who have been dragged into this disgrace
full proceeding.
The council excused DR.. Browns actions
after the charges had been made public
on account of his quick temper. With re.
gard 10 the young woman aho, IL Is al-

1--WE flnd his conduct to have violated all
rules which would control the actions of a
gentleman and Christian minister, and
we ccnsure him for 1t, while we gladly
recognizes the kindly and manly words of
appreciation and reparation offered by
him To the young woman in our pres.
cnge.'

port the Conferrees.
WASHINGTON, March l9.-The senate
committee on foreign relations have de-
cded to stand by the agreement reached
by the senate conferrees and to support
the house Cuban reso' utions as a substi-
tute for tho senate resolutions on the
same subject. The committee was not
unit on the proposition, but II was carried
by a safe majority. The discussion in the
committee Indicated that most OF the
members preferred tho senate form OF
resolution, but there was placed against
this argument that of fcxpediency and this
line of reasoning won the day.
Among the objections made to the house
declaration were those based upon gram
matical construction and the reference TO
this countrys commercial interest in the
settlement of the Cuban trouble. These
blcmishes were generally admitted, but it
WAS contonded on tho other hand that
the house was welded to its expression
and that it might be oven more difficult
&, get that body to accept the senate reso-
lutions than it is proving TO be TO get tho
senate TO take those OF the house. lt was

CHICAGO, March i9-Senator Lodge
was burned in efIigy by the Russian Nj
hilist club Tuesday afternoon In vacant
lot at Seventeenth street and Ashland
avenue. The action of the club was the
evidence OF the intensity Of the feeling
aroused by the recent discussion In con-
gress on the question Of immigration, and
particularly by the remarks OF Senator
Lodge. Other nationalitles are taking
steps TO defend their honor. The indig
nation of the Poles has been aroused to

Lodges statistics are erroneous. Some VI
the Polish editors suggest that the most
reliable statistics are those in the Daily
News Almanac. They clair, that when
making his statements Senator itge
was either ignorant of the real la Sg
that he had motive in making the o.
ments he did.

Prominent Poles say that IL Is not for .
senator from Massachusetts, TO determine
who the good citizens are Some even
charge him with being tool OF the nus

Poles that there is something else behind
what they call "this high-handed na-
tioual persecution" As the Polish or
