COMMITTEE MAKES
 SERIOUS CHARGES
Says Inmates of Confederate Homt Were Violently Abused. That the Cooking Is Bad and
 Hospital Uusanitary.

Little Rock, April 9 Charg ing that the inmates of the Con f. dsrate Soldiers Home, neal Little Rock, were violently abus- ed by Superiutendent w. M. Watkins, that violent language was used toward the inmates, that the cooking was of such na- ture as to render 1t unwholesome and unpaiatable, that the sani tary conditions of the hospital were exceedingly foul, and recon. mending that new board of trustees be appointed for tte home in order that a change of superintendents might be made, the joint committee from the leg islature appointed to investigate conditions at the home filed the report ot its findings with the
 
 house yesterday morning.
 The committee reported several weeks ago that it had investigat- ed conditions, and recommended a change ln management, but at that time stated that 1t was un- dcrstood that new board was 10 be appointed. A little later a request was made in the house that the entire findings of the committee be given to the house. The report filed yesterday was the result. The report sets forth that the governor has already appointed new board, and that 1t has no recommendations 10 make as to the discharge of the superintendent, "as his term ex- pires in few days"
 The committees report, Tn part, follows:
 "Your joint committee, which was appoiated to visit aud in- spect the Confederate Soldiers Home, beg leave to report that they visited the institution, in- spected it closely and examined many of the inmates under oath, copy ot their statements being 1 led herewith.
 "We find from the testimony of large number of the old soldie' s, who are inmates of the ome, that they h V. been vio lently abused by the superinten- dent, the language used in sev, raj instances being wholly unf to be reproduced in this report, be cause of its being indecent and scurrilous. The soldiers in some instances, according to the tes- tlmony adduced, have been given to understand that the superin- tendent stood ready at times to administer chastisement 10 those offering objections to his utter auces.
 "The most of the old sold CTS assert that there IS ample food furnished them, but the cooking IS of such character as to render 1t uuwholesome and unpalata ble.
 Many persons too i'll 10 wait on themselv,s S have at times been left iu the hospital at night unattended, to suffer in thelr helples mess.
 The sanitary condition of the hospital were exceedingly foul, aud the odor of the premises distressing.y offensive and nause ating. Not a jail in the entire state, iu all probability, has been neglected to the same extent as has been the hospital in the Soldiers Home, aud we could find no reasonable excuse for this lamentable condition"

THE BENEFIT ASSOCIATION.

h another column of the Review this morning will be found an account of the organization in Bisbee of the Benefit Association, a voluntary or ganization among the employees of
 the. Copper. Queen Consolidated Min ing Co, carrying with it Life and Ac cident Insurance and sick benefits. In addition to the premiums that are paid by the employees monthly to the As sociation, consisting of two per cent of an employees wages. payable monthly, the Copper Queen company will contribute annually s15.OOO to the Insurance and Accident fund provided 90 per cent of the employees Of the company are members; in the event I5 per cent of the employees of the company become members the annual leoatribution will be increased to s25.OOe.
 Membership in the Association is entirely voluntary on the part Of em- ployes. but the advantages to be de- rived are so great at such a trivial lcost, in comparison to other Accident Insurance companies and Benefit so eieties, the indications are that prac- tieally every employe of the company, 1 both here and at Douglas, w1n take
 advantage of the opportunity afforded.
 The Benefit Association, organized 1 in Bisbee, is something new among
 mining companies and this plan of
 benefit to employees has only been at
 tempted by two Or three other cor
 porations in the United States. The
 annual contribution of the company to the fund is 8 decided departure. The
 Association is an organization of em Iployes for mutual benefit and the i plan is thoroughly outlined in book let, which should be read with great
 deal of iterest by the employees of
 the Copper Queen company.
