DID FRICTION
BREEDDEATH
AT HOSPITA
DR.. Ward, Knowing Bad
Conditions, Waited for
Warden Hayes to Act.
HIS REMARKABLE REPORT
TeId Beard of Managers That
Water Was Pure When II Had
Been Officially Reported
Impure by Bacferi.
oIogist.

TRENTON, July A.-Because Of
failure of all members of the Hahn in
vestigating committee, except Mr..
Hahn, to arrive in Trenton today on
time, resumption of the work of prob
ing the affairs of the New Jersey State
Hospital for the Insane at Trenton was
late in its start.
At the opening Of the investigation
Mr., Backes started with DR.. John
Ward, medical director of the hos
pital, on the stand, and before he gets
through with this witness today he ex-
poets to bring out evidence to prove
that the recent outbreak of typhoid
fever at the asylum was due to un-
sanitary conditions, which were not
remcdied Immediately by the authort-
ties after an order so to do from the
State Board of Health, owing to fric-
tion between DIR. Ward and Warden
William Hayes. There has been rumors
of friction for long time. and the Inn
preston prevails that had DIR. Ward
and Warden Hayes been on good terms
the unsanitary conditions already
proved would not have existed.
Mr.. Backes has not evidence at this
time which will warrant the placing of
blame, but he expects that before the
examinations of DR.. Ward and Warden
Hayes have been completed the mat
ter of responsibility Will have been
settled beyond a question Of doubt.
DR. Ward was on hand early, and
was called to the stand with no mem
ber of the committee but Mr.. Hahn
present
His first testimony was that there
have been eighty cases of typhoid fever
in the asylum, fifty confined to patients.
There have been ten deaths, eight Of
these having been recorded this month.
There has been no death since Friday
and seven new cases since then. The
first case appeared April 8. and the
second two days later, testified DR..
Ward. Mr. Backes wanted to know II
cases following the first one in April

GUARD IRON MINES
STRIKERS KEPT AWAY BY
ARMED MEN.
Not a Ton Of Ore Is Being Mined.
Western Federation Bitterly De-
nounced at Mass Meeting.

HIBBING, MINI, July 24-Armed guards
are now patrolling many of the properties
of the iron mines In this district not yet
affected by the strike. In many instances
operators have given strict orders that no
striker be allowed to come on the property
and the guards and deputies have been
literally supplied with arms and ammuni-
ton and have been instructed to use
them If necessary. The mine operators
are not getting out ton Of ore. No acts
of violence have been reported today, but
the feeling of uneaslness is general.
The Western Federation of Miners were
denounced by a number Of speakers at a
mass meeting of citizens held at the opera
house last night Resolutions were adopted
by a unanimous vote that the city take
measures to protect the men at work In
the Iron mines and many volunteered TO
serve as deputies In guarding the mines
where the men wished to continue at work.

in HIS PAJAMAS
NATIONAL GUARDSMAN ES-
Z CAPES CITY HOSPITAL.
Lyon Had Been Taken There on Ac-
count of Queer Actions-Recap-
tured at His Home.

Joseph Lyon, q years old, Of 213 Warren
street. a member OF Company G, First
Regiment, N. G. N. j., who was sent home
from camp last Thursday because Of mis-
queer actions and taken to the City Hos
pital. escaped from that institution last
night by walking out the front entrance
In his pajamas. He did not get very far,
however, before the night man. Michael
Gougerty. spied him and gave chase.
About one hundred people In all then
joined in pursuit Lyon proved the swift
est runner and was not caught until he ar
rived at his home. Since his admttance
TO the hospital he occupied q cot In ward
on tho third floor, but hereafter he will
be kept on the FIRST floor and a closer
atch maintained.
When Lyon was sent home from Sea Girt
1t was thought he was suffering from hy-
drophobia, although no evidence could be
found OF his having ever been bitten AT
the hospital the physicians are OF the
opinion that he Is cocaine fend, but this
he denies. His appearance indicates that
he Is addicted to the drug, so they claim.
There seems TO be nothing in particular the
matter with the man except that he ap-
pears in a dazed condition all the time
He has neither grown worse nor i'm
proved since entering the hospital Last
night about 10 o'clock he was seen walk
ing about the ward. but his going down
stairs was not noticed. Nlghtman Gou-
gerty. while seated In the front office,
thought he saw someone pass the door
In a white suit. but imagined It was one
OF the physicians, who wear white duck
suits. He thought he would glance out
Of the window and make sure OF Il. and
instead OF a doctor saw Lyon running at
breakneck speed down the walk leading
from the institution to the street. He
then started after him.
Lyon ran along Fairmount avenue to
Central avenue. down Central avenue and
back to Warren street Arriving at the
house he was soon taken into custody
again. Word was scnt for the ambulance.
and he was removed TO the Institution.

with their cars resembling battered ar
tillery after long battle, the Glidden

ney from Cleveland to New York. A
hearty reception had been planned for
them by the New Jersey Automobile

so bent on reaching their destination

tated only long enough to nod their
appreciation to the array of autoists
lined up In front of the clubhouse at
Broad and Chestnut streets and then
shot on again.
More than hundred members of the
automobile club, city officials and hum
dreds of curious onlookers gathered In

pass the clubhouse was the "9e," the
official pathfinder, which sprinlslcd con-
fetti over the route along Brood to

BE COMMITTED,

for Hau, before the conclusion OF the trial

IN darkness" the professor said. Il am
convinced that Hau did not commit this
