OPENING TIE INVESTIGATION.

The opening sitting Of the commits
sion appointed to investigate the charg-
es Of cruelty lodged against some of
the officials of the state prison indi-
Gates a purpose Oh the part Of the
gentlemen composing it to make the
inquiry a searching one, that the very
truth may be elected While the pro-
ceedings yesterday were apparently
formal, it was evident that the board
wished to lay the foundations in an
accurate knowledge of the methods
and rules of the management and the
general condition of the prison. Called
to the performance of a novel duty, it
is a wise discretion that leads first to
the requirement of that preliminary
information which will aid in estimat-
ing the testimony that is to follow.
We are informed by one of the even
ing papers, whose sympathies have
run strongly towards the persons
charged with offenses, that two of the
men whose statements have been pub
lfshed in the G o b e and form the
strongest basis of the charges have
left the state. 1t also adds that the
prison officials, from whom it evidently
gets the information claim that the
Disappearance" are very timely"
because the men never intended to APP
pear and testify. How this may be we
do not know, but it does strike us as
singular that these officials are the
first to know that such witnesses have
disappeared, leaving the state to avoid
examination. Should the witnesses not
appear, the uncharitable might infer
that those most interested in their alb
sence might be responsible for it.

1t was found that not only was there
any other disease. The comment Of the
Leader seems to have no flaw in it's
logic, unless it be that the state should
discharge it's veterinarians and go out
of the horse doctoring business. The
Leader says: eff our state veterinaN-
ans can't find out whether an animal
is sick or not before killing it, we be-
lieve it would be cheaper for the state
to provide a little more schooling in
that line rather than to have to pay
for we'll horses which they kill to eX-
pertinent on to find out whether any
thing ais them or not"
Mr.. Griggs tells the Leader that
while he thinks he was grossly I'M
posed upon and that his horses were
murdered, he feels very grateful to
the appraisers for the very reasonable
value they put upon his team" This
price is apportioned between the town
and the state, one-fifth to be paid
by the former and four-ffths by the
latter, where the killing is ordered by
the local board of health. Where the
state board of health directs the kill
ing of the infected, or, as in this case,
the supposed-to- be infected animal, the
owner is allowed by the board IAN
equitable sum for the killing and
burial thereof" but nothing for the
Of n n
fcer of the state board having declar-
ed the horses of Mir. Griggs to be in
fected with CHAMBERS and, presumably
for the law requires 1.-THE board
having, on his report, ordered the ami
mails killed, there could be no appraise-
ment of the value of the animals and
no payment for anything except the
mere act of killing and the burial of
the remains. 1t is quite evident from
the report in the Leader that, when
the state experts" found that they
had killed healthy horses they ''craW-
fished" and threw the responsibility
back upon the local board. AS the
state is in for four-fifths Of the ap-
praised value Of the slaughtered innO-
cents through the stupidity of its vet
Urinary expert it would be quite the
proper thing for the state board of
health to charge up to the salary of
its expert that amount It would be
a lesson for him or them in the only
school in which that kind of students
is said to ever learn anything.

Mr.. KETCHAM'S DEATH.
No Evidence of Foul Play DiscOv-
cred by the Doctors.

animation held by DR.. E. T. Hall of the
coroner's inquest today on the body OF John
B. Ketcham, the millionaire banker. who died
Sunday morning, revealed the fact that death
was due to chronic alcoholism, no trace of
any poison being found. more definite re-
port on the case will be made to the coroner
tomorrow after DR.. Hall has examined the
stomach and liver.
An inquest will be held by the coroner at
10 o'clock tomorrow at 3421 Indiana avenue,
where Mr.. Ketcham died, and it is probable
that the verdict will entirely remove the
cloud from the young and beautiful widow,
who was married to Mr.. Ketcham on Sept. IA
in Milwaukee, and who, by the provisions
of his will, becomes heir to his estate. Those
present at the examination today were DR..
E. P. Noel, coroner's physician, and his as
sistant, DR.. Joseph Springer, while Mrs.
Ketcham was represented by DR.. Deveng,
the family physician DR.. j. 7. kirnan and
Lawyer D. C. Hansen who drew the will:
The post mortem revealed the fact that the
stomach, liver and kidneys were all badly
diseased, the organs being reduced to a state
where it appeared that recovery or even
prolongation Of life was impossible. DR..
Deveng explained that the deceased had for
long time been a victim of alcoholism and
against the strict wishes of himself and
friends, who took an interest in him, he
drank intoXicants excessively and uninter-
ruptedly. His resident physician said he eX-
pected and at no time during the last two
months would the news of his death have
caused him a surprise.
George Ketcham a brother, who resides in
Toledo, is in the city stopping at the Auditor
ium, and he was among those at the ketcham
home today. He was not surprised at his
brothers death, his greatest concern being
that the newspapers took so much interest in
the affair.
Joseph Keller. the butler employed by Mrs
Ketcham, taken into custody by the po-
lice and sharply Intercepted. Nothing was
learned from him, however save that he
had always thought Ketcham and his mistress
were married until he heard they had been
married in Milwaukee, He said Ketcham
was rational when he made his will, to
which Keller was a witness.
