Board of Control Charges Abuse o
States Appropriations.


States Appropriations.
= Des Moines, Nov. 16.-The most
important state document of the year
in Iowa was filed with Governor Shaw
yesterday, being the second biennial
report of the state board of control In
relation to the state charitable, penal
and educational institutions, giving a
history of the work done by the board
and recommendations for the coming
two years. An appropriation of $685.
127 is asked, mostly for improvement
of state buildings.
The report charges that appropria'
tions for the state college at Ames
and the state university at Iowa City
have been used for lobbying purposes.
Concerning insane at county asylums,
1t is charged they are treated like an
imals, male attendants having access
to women's wards, and that in one in
stance six persons were bathed in the
same water.
1t is recommended that the Ana
mosa penitentiary be converted into
a reformatory and an indeterminate
sentence law enacted.
The board of control has fully
demonstrated its usefulness to the
state in the matter of more systematic
operation Of the various institutions,
economy in expenditures, better SER
vice for the state and constant i'm
provement in the institutions.

GATHMANN GUN FAILED
Only Denied the Big Armor Plate--Arm
Gun Wins,

New York, Nov. 16.-Gathmann's
dynamite shell, fred from his big
eighteen inch rifle, the largest gun in
the world, proved itself disastrous
failure at Sandy Hook, barely denting
the big armor plate against which II
was fired. The ordinary army twelve
inch rifle, with an armor-piercing
shell filled with small charge of high
explosive, scored an extraordinary
success, however and produced re-
suits which will startle the great ma
val countries of the world and which
perhaps may revolutionize naval arch
itecture.
The Gathmann projectile, which its
inventor claimed would reduce an ar
NOR plate to powder, failed to make
any serious impression ON a target
made to represent the side Of mod
ern first-class battleship. The army
rifle, however, not only fired shell
completely through the armor plate,
but exploded the shell on the inside
wrecking the target and absolutely de-
strOying the, cofferdam structure OF the
modern big battleship.

most stopped him. Rubin foresaw
the outcome. So did every spectator
Of the 10000 in the hall. At the end
OF the fifth round Rubin gave up. A
blow in the stomach, he said, had dis
abled him. That was his only explain
alton for refusing to continue. He was
still able to fight, but declined to take
any more punishment.
1t is the first time in the history of
the ring that a contender for the
championship has deliberately quit.
Rubin is being called ''faker" and a
'quitter" and Jeffries says the victory
was too easy.

New York, Nov. 1S.-Brigadier Gen
eral Bird w. Spencer, president Of the
National Rife Association of Ameri-
Ca, and Secretary Lieutenant Albert S.
Jones are in communication with the
custom authorities of the Dominion of
Canada, endeavoring to deliver the
Palma trophy which the Canadians
marksmen won at the rifle shooting
tournament which was held at Sea
Girt last September.
For some reason the Canadian au-
thorities cannot see their way to ad.
nit the trophy, and while General
Spencer and all the other United States
marksmen are reluctant to lose the
prize, which is emblematic of the inter
national team championship, they are
more than anxious to deliver 1t to the
Canadian shooters who so cleverly

Madisonville, Ky, Nov. 1S.-Mining
troubles in this district brought more
bloodshed yesterday morning. James
III. Smith, negro striker, is dead; Geo.
Crouch, another striker, is fatally
wounded, while John West, Hut Daw-
son and Nathan Bush, all guards, are
wounded-none Of them dangerously.
The trouble occurred at the mines of
the Providence Coal company, seven
began at about 4:30 a. m. The attack
ing party, some seventy-five or eighty
strong, first fired on the engine house,
and then in few minutes the COM
pany's stables were surrounded. A
horse and mule were killed and sew
eral other animals disabled. BY this
time the guards were becoming active,
and the strikers formed in a semicircle
over the brow of the hill.
Assailants Kept Up the Attack.
From there they poured a well-di-
rected fire upon the houses occupied by
the non-union employees and their fam
lilies. Men aroused by the crash Of
bullets rushed to small timber piles, ar
ranged for use in such an emergency,
and from behind these returned the
fire. The attacking party, while send
ing volley after volley into this quarter,
kept up a steady fire ON the tipple, en-
CINE room, stable and other buildings
of the company, while the guards, for
their part, were doing effective work.
Battle RACES for an Hour and a Half.
The battle ragged for almost an hour
and half, when the assailants with
drew, leaving Smith dead and Crouch
shot through and through on the field.
How many wounded they took with
them is not known, but the leader was
seen to fall, and it is believed some OF
the party who went to his rescue were
hit

started an investigation. An inquest
was held, the coroners jury's verdict
being that the negro came to his death
at the hands Of the guards while they
were defending life and property, and
they were therefore justifable, The
news of the shooting spread like wild
fire. 1t was not long before the news
reached Adjutant General Murray,
who at once commenced an investiga-
ton, opening up communication with
the governor.
Other Mines Are Fired Upon.
Following the battle at the Provi-
dence mine there were riots at other
Kentucky mines. An attack was made
ON the nine guards at the Monarch
mines, three miles from Darlington,
last night, but 1t was repulsed. Two
employees of the st. Bernard Coal com
pany at Morton's Gap were fired upon
by a man who sprang from behind a
tree There was much trouble at 9TH
er places, but neither injury nor loss
Of life followed. Owing to the days
riots and the serious situation in the
mining field of Webster and Hopkins
counties the governor has ordered out
the militia.
