jOKERS IN REPORT
Asylum investigating Commit
tee Prepared to Pay Re-
spects to Governor.
The GENERAL TONE Is MILD
Three State Institutions Come In for
Criticism - Expected to Start
= Something in Legislature.

Chicago, May 5.-After a day spent
in nswrangling, during which luncheons
were forgotten and late dfnmers were
in order, the members of the asylum
investigation committee signed the re-
port last night which they will submit
to the legislature at Springfield this
afternoon.
1t was discovered last night that the
report, which OH its face is mild and
apparently harmless, contains half a
dozen little jokers which are expected
TO work profitably in the political in
terests of the members of the commit
tee. Civil service, through the medium
of these jokers, is to receive terrible
pounding and Governor Deneen is to
come in for a share of the lambasting
which will be handed out. The mem
beTs of the committee are admittedly
piqued at the governor because of his
early criticism of the methods they
were pursuing in the investigation,
and as a result they have retaliated.
Three Institutions Criticized.
Besides the criticism which is hand
ed to Governor Deneen, three state
institutions come in for a share of the
general criticism handed out by the
committee These institutions are the
Lincoln asylum for feeble minded
children, the Pontiac reform school,
and the St. Charles school for boys.
In regard to Governor Depeen, the
committee seeks supposedly vulner-
able spot for it's javelins by printing
in full the testimony of DR.. Zeller, SUI
perintendent of the Bartonville asylum
for the insane, in which the superin,
tendent relates a conversation he had
over the telephone with Governor De
|neen the night before the civil service
law went into effect. This conversa
ton relates to the placing of several
appointees of the governor in positions
in the Bartonville institution. How
ever, Dr. Zeller at the time he gave
his testimony declared that he needed
asylum employees at the time, and thai
Governor Deneen had told him tha
he would not name an appointee wht
did not come well recommended as re
CARDS fitness for the position and char
acter. This portion of the converse
ton between the governor and DR.
Zeller the committee fails to include
in its report.
Give Testimony Space.
| Regarding Lincoln and Pontiac, tn,
report of the committee is particular,
full in regard to testimony introduced
The report goes on to state that man,
witnesses testified that the food givel
the children at Lincoln is not fit t,
eat; that the oatmeal was wormy
that the children are not given suffl
cient changes of clothing, and that tn
medical staff of the institution is ir
competent. DR.. Harry Hardt, superir
ltendent of the asylum, is held. ito be +

who as counsel for H. Fl. Rogers and
James Stillman, filed their answer at
Salt Lake yesterday in the Pacific
merger suit, said today: "The Asso-
ciated Press. dispatch from Salt Lake
is distinctly misleading and at some
points apparently malicious. The
statement that either of my clients
claimed damages by reason of the
governments allegations in the mer-
ger suit is ridiculous. Some stupid
reporter must have mistaken the
prayer for dismissal with costs, with
which every lawyer in the country is
familiar, as a claim for damage"
