Kankakee, ILL.,, Aug. 1.-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 large extent by me refusal of
the Investigators to go into that ques-
ton.
| Attorney Fitzgerald, on behalf of
the Women and Children's 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
| taken up in formal investigation
/ 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-
ticn.
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 few sporac1c
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 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
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 rib broken or had
been otherwise mistreated. He never
heard of the patient being choked
with a towel or dragged to a bath
tub.
At the night session the charge was
made by Harry Ball, former attend
ant, that Trustee Murphy of Tuscola
