proving.

The State Board of Control, after
holding session at the Western
Asylum extending over several days,
completed its work and the mem
bers Of the Board left Sunday morn
ing. There were present all of the
members, Col. Albert Scott, Judge
G. S. Wall, Judge A. j. G. Wells and
DR.. T. W. Gardiner.
Sunday morning a staff meeting
of the Asylum physicians was held
and full reports we're received from
the records of pellagra in the insti
tuition. There have been IA cases to
date and at the present time there
are only 8 well defined cases. These
are all improving and no fears are
felt that there will be any special
increase of the disease. The ply
sicians are studying and watching
the cases, with a view of locating
the cause of the trouble and apply
ing such remedies as will cure them.
Gov. Wilson was present one day
and made thorough inspection of
the Asylum and endorsed the
methods of DR.. Sights in treating the
disease. The physicians do not re-
gard the disease as contagious and
there is no occasion for relatives and
friends of patients to feel alarmed
at the presence of a few cases in the
institution.
The announcement is made that
the report that the use of corn pro
ducts has been abandoned in the
asylum is without foundation, as the
theory that pellagra is caused by
eating cornbread has been discarded
after scientific investigation.

CAPTAIN VAN SHACK RELEASED

After having sci wed three years
and half of his 10-year sentence,
following the burning of the General
Slocum and the loss of 1881 lives,
William H. Van Shack, the captain
of the Inflated craft, was paroled
from Sing Sing prison the other day.
He did not notify his wife or any Of
his numerous friends of his release,
and arrived in New York unherald-
ed. He was not even sure where to
find his wife and had to hunt up
one of his friends to obtain her ad-
dress. Captain Van Shack was Of
fered as a sacrifice to public opinion
at that time, while the real offenders,
the owners of the steamship line and
the government steamship inspectors
were allowed to go unpublished. The
captain Is now''71 years Of age, but
still active and in fairly good health.
He does not expect ever to command
q ship again, but hopes to be able
to find some occupation which will
enable him to remain in touch with

ROBBERS MAKE HAUL OF 1915,
600 AT BRITISH COLUMBIA
BANK
British Columbia Town Visited by
Five Bandits Who Get Away With
ont Leaving the Slightest Glue.

New Westminster, B. c., Sept. Is
AT an early hour this morning Eve
men entered the Bank of Montreal
here by an unprotected little window
in the rear, dug through brick wall
into the vault, wrecked the cage door
and blew open the safe, took approxi-
mately $250,OOO in gold and bills,
leaving $4,000 in gold on bed where
they had piled their loot and about
$4,000 more money unmolested in
the safe, and made their escape.
The first known of the robbery was
when the Chinese caretaker appeared
at the police station at about $50
o'clock and gave the alarm. He had
managed to work his bonds loose af-
ter the robbers,rhad departed. That
the robbers are still in the vicinity
is apparent by the finding of pow
erful automobile stolen from garage
in this city, and which they left bro
ken down in front of the Y. M. C. A..
building. 1t is thought the yeggs
started to get away in the machine
and then had to abandon it.
After a survey by the bank officials
soon after 10. O'Clock this morn 'ng
it was officially stated the robbers
got away with $315,000.
A policeman, during a good deal
of the time the robbery was going ON,
was not more that 100 yards from
tho building and heard nothing. The
police station was not more than
twice that distance away. The police
are non-plussed. There is not single
good clue to work on.
