Kankakee, Ill, Aug. 12.-The strik-
ing features of the opening session OF
the investigation of the state insane
hospital here, commenced yesterday
by the state board of charities, was
the total absence of any presentation
OF specific charges of cruelty or neg?
lect toward a single one of the 1900
patients in the asylum. Instead, there
was an attempt to show the necessity
for putting the institution under the
state civil service law. This attempt,
made by representatives of the civil
service league of Chicago, was block
ed to a large extent by the refusal of
the investigators to go into that ques
ton.
Attorney Fitzgerald, On behalf of
the Women and Childrens Protective
association of Chicago, called the at
tention of the board to newspaper
articles concerning charges, but it
was held that such articles were in
the nature of gossip and could not be
unless presented in sworn personal
testimony. When the board con-
vened the president, DR.. Jayne Of
Springfield, invited the fullest and
most open presentation of any charge
of cruelty or neglect, abuse or mis-
management. No person whatever
appeared in response to the invita-
tiOn.
DR.. V. Hoedstat, formerly acting
chief of the medical staff of the asy-
lum, was not allowed to testify to the
effect of civil service on the institu-
ton, and admitted he knew of no in
stance Of abuse or maltreatment of
the patients except a few sporaclc
instances which had been Immediate
ly met with discharge of the offender.
He said he paid to the superinte1d-
ent every month five per cent. of his
salary as a political assessment, that
the hospital band was employed at
political rallies and the hospital
stenographer was kept busy on politi-
cal work. Special visitors were

ISLAND CLAIM NOT GOOD.

Government so Holds Regarding
Capt. RosehiII's Discovery.
Washington, Aug. 12-It is learned
on good authority that the state de-
partment will refuse to recognize the
claim of Captain Andrew w. Rosehill
to the ownership OF Marcus island,
over which he raised the flag of the
United States in 1899. 1t is further
stated that this government will
probably acknowledge Japan's sover-
eighty over the place in the near
future.
The decision against Captain Rose
hill is based on his failure to comply
with the law of the United States con-
corning guanO islands. The discover
er must not only take actual posses
sion, but must promptly file a bond
with the secretary of the treasury,
the amount of the bond to be fixed
by the secretary.
Captain ROsehill discovered the
island in 1889, but he did not file the
bond until this year on the eve of his
departure from Honolulu with an ex-
petition to exploit the guano beds.
In the meantime the Japanese sub
jects had been living on the island
and working the deposits, and in 1896

treated to liquor at the hospital drug
room.
DR.. May Weinburg, who had made
newspaper charges that she had been
cruelty treated while a patient, had
been under his care. He said it was
rot true she had a rib broken or had
been otherwise mistreated. He never
heard OF the patient being choked
with a towel or dragged to bath
tub.
At the night session the charge was
made by Harry Ball, a former attend
ant, that Trustee Murphy of Tuscola
was drunk in the drug room and that
once, at Murphy's proposal, the night
clerk awoke nurse who went with
Murphy to his room. Murphy went on
the stand and denied this story and
was corroborated by Clerk Croxen
and E. w. Rood, a deputy clerk Of
Tuscola. At the other night session
the testimony related to political con-
tributions and alleged drunkenness Of
the supervisor of male attendants,
Mr. Wagner.

SUPREME BENCH

Oyster Bay, Aug. 1.-THE presi-
dent has appointed Oliver Wendell
Holmes, now chief justice Of the SUI
preme court of Massachusetts, to be
associate judge of the United States
supreme court, vice Justice Gray,

name
Washington, Aug. 12.-Justice Gray,
during long term in the supreme
court rendered a number of important
decisions. He was with the majority
Of the court in the decisions on the in
come taxes and insular cases. An
other important case was that growing
out of the Spanish-American war in
which Gray decided against the right
of the government to seize certain
fishing smacks, the property of the
Cubans, which the United States au-
thorities believed were giving aid and
assistance to the enemy. Gray always
was an ardent republican. Like his
successor he was chief justice of the
supreme court of Massachusetts be-
fore his appointment to the supreme
court of the United States.
The resignation was due to i'll
health. Several months ago he suf-
fered a stroke of apoplexy, which was
some time later followed by another.
He has not appeared on the bench
since he was stricken the first time.
With the exception of Justice Harlan,
he served on the bench of the SUI
preme court longer than any of his
present colleagues. He was appoint
ed by President Arthur Dec. 10, 1881,

Ionthly Report of Department OF
Agriculture of Situation August I
Shows Corn, Oats and Wheat All
Better Than in Most Previous
Years for a Decade.

Washington, Aug. 12.-The month
report of the department
= agriculture shows the
ondition of corn Aug. 1, 86.5 as
9mpared with 87.5, July 1, 1902, and
/, Aug. 1, 1901; 87.5 the correspond
lg date in 1900. The ten-year aver
ge is "a. There has been an i'm
covement during the month Of seven
0ints in Wisconsin, four in Ohio,
linOis, Kansas, three in Iowa and
leVen in Nebraska. This substan-
al improvement in the most import
Mt corn states would undoubtedly
ave resulted in a marked improve
lent in the average for the entire
Ountry but for the fact that IA south
m states, containing 36.8 per cent.
: the total corn acreage, show an
verage decline for July of 1917
Oints.
The winter wheat crop is estimated
t about 380,0O0,00O bushels or an
verage of 1873 bushel per acre. If
ne estimate is higher than was indi-
ated by the previous reports of con-
ition, it is due to the fact that the
Top is turning out somewhat better
han was expected. The estimated
Terage yield per acre in the princi-
al western states is:
Kansas 81, Missouri 1872, Califor-
Tia Is, Indiana Is, c. . 1876, Ne
)raska %; Michigan TIA.
The average condition of spring
wheat August 1, was 1877 as com
pared with 92.4 last month, 1913 Au-
gust 1, 1901, and 56.4 at the CORE
spending date in 1900 The ten-year
average is go There was a decline
during July of two points in Mime

and II in Iowa. On the other hand
the crop is South Dakota was report
eded one point higher than the high
figure reported last month and the
condition in Minnesota, North Dako-
ia and Nebraska, Notwithstanding
the decline, is still considerably above
ten-year average.
The average condition of oats is
1874, against 92.1 last month, 1876 on
August 1, 1901, IS the corresponding
date in 1900. The ten-year average
is 1922. There has been an improve
ment Of one point in Indiana, 5 points
il New York, in Pennsylvania, 8 in
Ohio. On the other hand there has
been a decline of one point in Michl-
gan and Minnesota, 2 in Illinois, 2 in
9 in Nebraska and IL in
Iowa. All the principal oat states,
however, still have their average con-
dition comparing favorabIy with the
ten-year averages.
The condition of barley barely de-
clined 3.5 points during July, but on
August 1 was still 3.3 higher than a
year ago. Spring rye improved 1.2
points in July and on Aug. 1, was 81
higher than year ago. Wisconsin
is two points above the average of
last month. Buckwheat is 0.3 points
higher than a year ago and IA above
