Judge J. S. West. assistant attorney

A house owned by Mrs. Greeley was
burned by the order of the county au-
thorities as the most effectual means
of Riding the vicinity of smallpox. the
house having been used as a pest house
during an outbreak Of the disease there
some time ago.
Mrs. Greeley is now making an effort
to collect the insurance. She claims that
she Is entitled to the insurance money
and the company which holds the pol
icies demurs to the payment.
No such question has ever been de-
cided in the Kansas courts and the

ing to discover something which will
throw some light on the questions in

State Board of Charities Writes Let
ter Defending Asylum Management

The state board of charities in
lengthy letter deny all the charges made
against the asylum management and
claim to have made an investigation.
The letter denies that DR.. c. w. My
ers choked a patient named SlOop, but
admits that he took hold of her and
compelled her, after some little resist
ance, to open her mouth" The letter
denies that an attendant named Potter
mistreated a patient named Scanlon
but admits that he was discharged for
cruelty to patients. The story of his
cruelty appeared in the State Journal
Thursday, August 10, and Potter was
discharged Friday, August II. The
board claims that the institution is be-
ing conducted in a proper manner and
that efficiency is all that counts and
that political pulls will not keep en-
plOyes in their positions unless they are
thoroughly competent.
While withdrawing the management
of the asylum the board unconsciously
admits the demoralized condition of the
institution.
