WITNESSES ARE
CALLED SECRETLY
IN ASYLUM PROBE
Names OF Attaches Summoned
by Grand Jury Are Guarded
by Officials.

Six more witnesses, Jour attendants
and two nurses, have been summoned
to appear before the grand jury late
this afternoon to tell what they know
about the alleged mismanagement of
the County Hospital for the Insane at
Overlook under DR.. Daniel M. Dill,
its superintendent. Who they are is
guarded as a profound secret by the
members of the grand jury, the officers
of the prosecutors office and Prosecutor
Wilbur A. Mott, as they are supposed
to have been called to be interrogated
along lines that my have some effect on
their Jobs, and hat they may be sub
jected to the same sort of treatment
which DR.. John o. CASTOR, the inferno,
who made such starting disclosures re-
garding the management, says he has
met with since he has told his story
to the grand inquest.
What these six are wanted for, 1t is
understood, Is to tell specifically what
has come under their observation while
under the immediate supervision of DIR.
DilI's assistants. They will also be
asked what they know about other
matters connected with the manage
ment of the hospital, such as the care
of the patients and the manner in
which they were treated by those in
authority over them, the witnesses.
After today's probe there will be no
further session Of the grand jury on
this long-drawn-out quest until next
Tuesday, when it is expected that a
new line will be taken up, that of the
cost of construction of the big build
ings in Overlook, which the jurors
have had in mind for some time past.
Charles J. Hamburger, the deposed
chief of the fire department at the
hospital, who vas among the six wit
nesses called late yesterday afternoon,
told the jurors that the fire menace
there was great, and that the fi~re-fight-
ing facilities were inadequate. He also
testified that, despite the fact that he
had made repeated requests to the
Freeholders' hospital committee for ad-
ditional apparatus and equipment, his
recommendations were unheeded. The
former chief has been before the COM
mittee previously.
DR.. Henry S. Mccormick, DR.. Guy
Payne and DR.. j. Henry Stiles. the
three asylum physicians called yester-
day, were asked about the alleged ir-
Irregularities in the management of the
noSpltal Dy the committee
of the Board of Freeholders that nave
been investigating matters, and they
were also quizzed about their attitude
towards DIR. CASTOR because of his dis
closures. r. j. Edwards, the night
Waterman at the hospital, was asked
! about the famous "blue book" in which
he kept a record of the employees that
stayed out late at night, while Henry
Hutchins, an attendant, was ques-
| toned along like lines. 1t has de-
veloped that the grand jury has dis
covered that secondhand machinery
has been used in the laundry al Over
brook that it will try to make the
Broad of Freeholders responsible as 1t
hired inspectors to prevent just such
Irregularities while the construction of
the asylum was under way.

GAS IN HERINGToNg

It has long been known that there

above ground in various places In
that town, and not long ago the may

but that is another story,
This time, however, members OF
the commercial club believe they
ere on the trail Of the real under
ground variety, and Prof. Haworth,
the state geologist, who has made
an investigation rather encourages
them in the belief. In letter to
Secretary F. X. Smith, he says In
Fart:
In the oil and gas fields in souts-
western Kansas the rock strata are
almost level, dipping gently to the
west and having slight anticlines in
them. The oil and gas occurs IN the
rocks of the coal measure age. The
indications near Harrington are SINH
lar in many respects.
Believing as do SO strongly IN
the advantage Of an anticlinal ridge,
and knowing that such a ridge exists
some miles to the east Of Harrington,
nay advice would be that so far as
possible you go northeastward and
southwestward, a distance Of 5 or s.
miles. Harrington is located in a ter
ritory which has not been prospected
to any extent. The two wells put
down near there ! do not consider
conclusive evidence that nothing
could be found. l feel sure that you

WANTS TO SEE WHEELS 90.
But Q. W. Parker Trusts His work
men.

An office constructed 90 as to give
view Of the first and second floors
I ota building.
i That is the idea G. W. Parker d
carrying out in his new factory. The
office will occupy a floor space Of
twenty-five by seyenty-five feet in
the southwest corner Of the building.
three and one-half feet below the
level Of the second floor. It will
be SO arranged that Mr.. Parker can
see from his office just what the
men are doing on the first and second
floors.
All of Mr.. Parker's business will
be conducted from the Leavenworth
offices, the managing Of the shows,
the wholesale business and all the
business connected with the home
factory. Mr.. Parker's desk will oc-
cupy the extreme west portion of the
office. The reception room will
measure twenty-five by twenty-five
feet, According to Mr.. Parker he
does not care for so much room for
himself but wants the office force
to have plenty of space and also
enough light to work with.
The usual large force of men are
working on the forms for the whole
of the first floor. They will be COM
pleted in ten days time. The princi-
pie work at present is on the side
tracks and the erection of new
building Just east of the main build
ing for the storing of the carnival
supplies. The foundation for the
structure has been completed. III
will be a one story corrugated steel
structure with sixty by eighty feet
floor space.
Laying the steel rails In the con-
crete of the first floor. which will
connect with the railroad switches is
completed. Three large cars can be
run in the building at one time. The
large elevator is next to the switch
tracks so that the contents Of the cars
can be unloaded on it.
The forms were taken off the con-
crete work of the basement Satur-
day. All the concrete was found tJ
be in good condition. AS soon as
The glass arrives the basement will
be enclosed.
"A month ago we began the WORK
IN the factory" Mr.. Parker said yes
erday. II am surprised at the amount
If work we have done. / expect to
ave all tie concrete poured for the
irst and second floor by the first Of

moved sooner.
