THE CHANGE AT THE ASYLUM.
The Statesman Called Down for Its
Unnecessary Howl Over Re-
moval of DR.. GivenS.


of Dr.. Givens and the appointment
of DR.. Hoover, to succeed him as
superintendent of the insane asylum,
the Idaho Falls Register, after cal
ling attention to the fact that the
asylum matter had nothing to do
with the defeat OF Gov. Morrison
for denomination, says:
'sThen comes the Boise cor
respondent of the Salt Lake Tribune
with lot Of slush, and refers to
the Statesman as the leading Repub
lican newspaper in the state. This
correspondent must have been told
this. The fact is, the Statesman
has been on all sides of the question
concerning state matters. and can be
depended on for nothing. He says
the turning down Of Hoover by
Morrison angered the Mormons and
started an anti. Morrison campaign
in Bear Lake county, when the Boise
correspondent, if he knows any
thing. knows that Morrlson's main
support in the convention was from
the so-called Mormon counties.
1sThe Statesman also makes hit
and miss statement and all at once
sheds crocodile tears over the fate
of the poor inmates. 1t goes so TAR
as to state DIR. Hoover is entirely
unfit for the position; that the posi-
ton calls for an allenist and it is
probable there is not one In the state.
The Register of course does not for
a moment question the fitness of
DIR. Givins, and 1t also knows that
DIR. Hoover has made alienism a
careful study for the past twelve
wears; it also knows that some time
ago Mr.. A. B. Moss, president of
the board, spent two days in Mont
pelier, the home of DIR. Hoover,
and made careful inquiries concern
ing his qualifications, not only as a
physician but as business man and
as farmer. He
found that he Is acknowledged as
one of the best and leading ply
siclans In southeastern Idaho.
The Statesman had no authority for
making such statements, and there
is no doubt they were made simply
with an idea of embarrassing the
administration. 1t has been doing
that kind of work for several
months. The people of Idaho are
simply wondering from day to day
where the Statesman will jump next.
It has been even worse than the
Capital News, because it made a
pretense as being something while
the Capital News never did.
1.-Two years ago some of these

was not removed and DIR. Hoover
given the position. Little did they
care then whether the new man was
an alienist or not. With them it
had done the republican party great
harm in not making the change.
But the board did not see fit to
make change at that time.
$50 far as DR.. Givens is con-
cerned, the Register has no word Of
censure. He and the writer have
been personal friends for the past
ten years or more, and had the
writer been a member of the board
would have voted to retain him.
He made the asylum what it is to-
day, mas been, as we believe, an
honest and conscientious superln-
tendent, absolutely ard thoroughly
capable. But the board is composed
of men of high standing, and they
concluded to make the change; pos
sibly they thought it best for the
institution. We do not know what
their reasons were, they alone are
responsible. We know nothing of
their intentions before the action
was taken. When they did decide
to make the change, they passed a
resolution highly commencing DR..
Givens and thanking him for the
able manner in which he has man.
aged the institution, and did not
weep over it, either; neither has DR..
Givens shed any tears over the
matter. y"
The Silver City Avalanche also
calls the Statesman down in the fol-
lowing bit of common sense COM
ment in regard to the change at the
asylum:
ssTne Statesman is loud IN its con-
demnation of the action of the mem
bers of the asylum board, in the re-
moval of DIR. Giyens as superin-
tendent aud the appointment of DR..
Hoover IN his stead, and this too
without consulting the organ of the
party. The Statesman was fully IN
formed that DIR. Hoover was an ap-
plicant for the position of superin-
tendent of the Asylum, not only
since Governor Gooding's election,
but during Governor Morrlson's
administration. Yet there never
was word of warming published
that DIR. Hoover was incompetent
to fill the position. DR.. Hoover
had the endorsements of many
prominent men of the party in the
state, who fully believed that he
was competent to fill this important
position Admitting the fact that
DR.. Givens stands high in the med.
ical profession as an alienist, does ii
necessarily follow that he should
always remain in charge of the

jumped from tie second ana third
story windows to the ground and were
dangerously injured. The crush on
the stairways resulted In numerous
minor injuries.
Scarcely had the rear portion OF the
structure collapsed when a tongue
Of flame started up from the boiler
pit and reaching out as 1t assembled
communicated with the splinters OF
the wreckage and Immediately after
ward with the standing walls,
Soon the entire story was in flames.
Instant death was the fate Of many
who went down with the floors that
collapsed. A large number Of men and
women who were working near the
supports were alive after the floors
and walls fell. From these unfortu-
Mates, the cries Of agony and terror
went up. Almost all had been caught
between broken timbers, lighter wood
en- wreckagc and heavy, pieces OF
machinery. A few persons succeeded
in extricating themselves from tho
wreckage, but more were roasted to
death.
BY this time near by citizens had
arrived to assist the employees who es"
capped, In the rescue Of their fellows.
This task became momentarily moro
difficult and perilous for the heat
from the fire was almost unbearable,
BY the use of long pieces Of timber
the rescuers were able to raise parts
of wreckage and thereby secure the re-
of the imprisoned men and women
and then by rushing into the smoke
null them from the ruins.

the point Of revolvers DAILY and Roach
were compelled to jump from the bug
-gy and give UP the sack Of gold. Then
the robbers tied them to fence and
placed gags in their mouths. DAILY

siderable difficulty and then proceeded
to Siege station on the Southern Pa

rang up the Oakland and Berkeley po-
lice departments and Sheriff Veale, Of
Contra county. In telling his story
over the telephone DAILY said that tho
highwaymen took their buggy, as well
as a delapitated rig in which they
drove to the scene of the robbery.
Travellers coming from San Pablo said
that man bearing the description of
the taller Of the men had been seen
driving rapidly in that direction. The
short robber who took the old rig took
the read In the direction Of Berkeley.
1t had been the custom of the Central
bank to send out $4,000 to the Stand
ard Oil plant for the pay Of the en-
ployes once a month and there is but
little doubt that the robbers were
acquainted with the fact.
