STARVED THEIR PATIENTS.
Nurses In nm Insane Asylum Under
Grave Charges.

u
CHICAGO. Nov. 4.TwO female
nurses at the Asylum For the Insane
at Dunnng ILL.,, We're today formally
charged by Secretary Follctt W. Bull
of the Civil Service Reform association
with having caused the death of two
patients in the asylum, Kate NcddO and
Kate Kurkowski.
The charge is made that the nurses
deliberately withheld food from the pa
tients, sometimes giving them nothing
at all and for weeks nothing but bread
and tea. 1t Is also charged that medi-
clnes provided for the patients were not
administered to them. The motive as
signed in the charge is that the patients
were especially obnoxious to the nurses
and that their course was prompted by
a desire to so weaken the patients that
they would become i'll and be sent to a
ward for the sick. thus relieving the
nurses Of the care Of them. 1t is clarg-
cd that this course was carried too far
and that the patients death resulted
from it.
The women died early In September,
and the causes of death were given in
the death certificates as inanitiOn in one
ease ana Scllrvy in the other. The case
was brought TO the attention of the
Civil Service Reform association by
Miss Jane Adams, Miss Julia {. La
ihrop and DR.. Alice Hamilton Of Hull
House, who gained their first informa-
ton from DR.. Clara Ferguson, for six
years woman physician at Dunning.

"Dr. Manuel Antonio Sanclemente. the

already stripped him Of power. Locked

in Villeta. department of Cundinama-

Cauca. The greatest secrecy has been
observed, and every effort has been
made to prevent the facts from becom-

allies Of the deposed president might
attempt to rescue him. No paper In the
republic today would dare to print the
bare fact that Sanclemcnte had left
