IS MERRITT TO SUCCEED OTIS?
initial When Asked About
the Matter.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23-Secretary OF
War Root returned to the city tonight
from his visit to the president at Lake
Champlain. He went at once to his apart.
ments at the Arlington hotel and during
Corbin and Acting Secretary Meikleiohn
The secretary was reticent in speaking for
publication of his conference with the
president. The matters discussed he said
were such as would ordinarily be taken ur
at cabinet meeting and involved no great
departure from the policy already in force
respecting the Philippines.
That the campaign in the Philippines is
to be pushed vigorously and promptly is
to the reporters. He was determined, he
said, that every man belonging to the
twenty regiments of volunteers now being
recruited shall eat his Christmas dinner in
that country. This statement was brought
out by a reference to the published report
that ten of these regiments were to be
held in the United States as a reserve
force.
Regarding the reports that General Wes-
ley Merritt, who has also been at Lake
Champlain in conference with the president
and his war secretary, is to succeed Gen.
eral Otis in command of the troops in the
Philippines, Secretary Root was non-com-
point and declined to make any positive
statement whatever in regard to the SUBJ
ject.
The secretary's attention was called to
reports of fresh propositions for treating
with the insurgents with a view to peace
full settlement of the war in the Philip
pines. He had not heard officially of these,
although he expressed himself being
glad If such solution of the difficulties
could be brought about

REPORT OF CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR
ON STATE INSANE ASYLUM.
WAS ROTTEN TO THE CORE
MEDICAL DIRECTOR CHARGED WITH
UNPRINTABLE MIsDoINGS.
The Governors Report One of the
Most Sensational Ever Submit-
ted to n Similar Board
SponagIe's shadowy Gu
reer in Fresno.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 23-The state
board of lunacy commissioners met in this
city to-day to hear the report of Governor
Gage on the result of the investigations of
the board into the conditions existing at
the Agnews asylum for the insane. situated
near San Jose, in Santa Clara county
Governor Cages report is doubtless one of
the most startling papers of it's kind ever
presented to a similar board for its con-
sideration. 1t is based principally upon
the career of DR.. F. NJ. Sponagle, medi-
cal director of the asylum, previous to his
installation as SUCH AS a result of the
investigation DR.. Sponagle and two of his
assistants, Drs. Stocking and Cristal, have
been summarily removed, the assistants not
being charged with anything more grave
than incompetency.
The investigation of affairs at Agnews
was the direct result of the birth of a
child to one of the patients. Sensational
charges were made and the investigation
followed Governor Gage included in his
report the testimony of reputable people
tending TO show that Sponagle's career
was one of gross immortality and crime
Governor Gage asserts that in 1892, while
Sponagle was a resident of Fresno, in this
state. he was accused of trying to defraud
Philadelphia insurance company, whose
medical examiner, he was, out of 10000
with the assistance of Mrs. Skinner
whose husband was dying of consumption
The consumptive's life was insured, and
shortly after the first payment on the pre-
MUM was mailed to Philadelphia, he died.
Suspicion arose.
The insurance company made an inves-
tigatIon and succeeded In getting a con-
fession from Mrs. Skinner showing that
conspiracy existed. The matter was
dropped on Mrs. SINNERS promise to turn
states evidence If necessary.
The governor says that Sponagle was ac-
cused of criminally assaulting a woman
patient. The charges, while almost con-
elusive, did not result In anything, and
Sponagle left Fresno the night after the
charges had been dismissed. Governor Gage
further asserts that Dr. Sponagle was also
a Mr.. Thurman, TO whom he owed money,
and that several women patients of DIR.
Sponagle have made charges of a serious
nature against Sponagle, who was attend
ing them professionally.
The report of the governor is of such
character that il is unprintable, but it
shows Sponagle up in even a worse light
than the foregoing. The llfnacy comm s.
sioners adopted the report and ordered the
dismissal of Sponagle. Stocking and Cristal.
DIR. ]. Fl. Crane of Santa Ana, Cal. a
physician of six years experience in East
ern insane asylums, was appointed TO sue
ceed Sponagle as medical director of the
asylum.

WICHITA MAN ROBBED.
Abe AIaway Accuses Three Chicago
Women of Stealing Money
and JeweIry.

CHICAGO, Aug. 13.-Abe Alaway. of
Wichita, Kas., entered a saloon on State
street Monday night in company with
Blanche Fay, Lillian Mahan and Pearl
Riley, and after remaining in the place
for several hours missed a diamond shirt
stud, diamond ring, his watch and
money, valued in, all at $3.50. He reported
the robbery to the police and Detectives
Collins and Stokes arrested the women.
From the description of the saloon in
which the robbery occurred. the police be-
lieve it was Tuckhorn's resort, on State
street.
Always story is that the proprietor aid
ed the women to ply him with liquor so he
might be easily robbed. He declares a per-
feet understanding existed between the sa-
loonkeeper and the women and that when
he tried to secure information from the
men about the saloon that would aid him
in recovering his property, they used every
means to prevent him from doing SO. JUS
tice Martin interested himself in the mat
ter and has asked Captain O'Neill to se-
cure all the information obtainable before
the case is heard in court. The justice says
Tuckhorns place has been the scene of a
number of similar occurrence, one of them
being the robbery of a stranger of $500
worth of diamonds. The women who fire.
quent the place, according to the lnforma-
tice of accosting men who wear diamonds
or expensive jewelry and taking them to
the saloon.
Justice Martin says he will try to have
the license of the saloon revoked. He de-
scribes it as an all night resort frequented
by female thieves. He refused to permit
Tuckhoru to sign the women's bonds

dISuntiOn.

FORT SMITH, ARK. Aug. 23.-The So
cial side of this city is stirred with in
dignation at proceeding in justice court
wheerin six notorious women were allowed
to sit as jury in the trail of whisky case.
Business and legal circles are equally in
disnant. and condemn the proceedings and
all connected with 1t as an insult to society
and an outrage upon the law.
There Is no authority in law for jury
OF women in Arkansas. The Commercial
League held meeting to condemn 1t and
requested the local papers to suppress it,
put they did not comply with the request.
The explanation is that the states attor-
ney, having been unable in single case
TO secure conviction for selling whisky
on Sunday, announced when this case was
called that he would take as Jurors the
hrst six persons called to serve on the Jury.
The counsel for the defense suggested the
six women in the witness box and they
were accepted While many look on the
whole affair as joke, the public refuses
