AppIegate Makes statement.

MT. PLEASANT. Ia, April l6.-(Special)
superintendent Apologize of the state
hospital for the insane at this place today
sent out a letter In which he denies the
cherges set forth by the legislative COM
mittee in its report to the general assembly
a short time ago. In It he tells OF the
committees visit to the hospital and ex-
presses his surprise that it should have
been so well pleased with the cleanliness of
the Institution and later issue the dis
graceful report. He says that no COM
plant was made by any OF the inmates to
the committee when 1t was at the hospital,
which tends to prove that a great part OF
the complaint came from outsiders.

would approve Of the proposed new bridge
between the two cities over the Missouri
river being placed between the bridges Of
the Union Pacific and the street railway
company, Mr.. Smith said; Although there
is not, to my knowledge, any law covering
the matter, IT is the policy of the War de-
partment not to approve plans for the
erection of bridges over the Missouri river
within one-third of a mile of each other.
However. / entertain no doubt. in view of
the situation here, permission could be OBJ
tanned for the erection of a new bridge
