GOTCH FEARS HE WILL 60 STALE
Runs on Road Are Cut From Twelve to Nine Miles and
Daily Handball Session Also Is Curtailed

Fort Dodge. Iowa. Aug. 10.-Feeling
that he is rapidly approaching perfect
physical condition, and in order to
avoid going stale before the date of his
match with Hackenschmidt, Gotch is
beginning to ease up in his training.
The morning runs, hitherto twelve
miles long, have been cut down to
nine. Less work on the handball court
Is being INDUCED in, and the champion
declared today that he will soon short
en- the time of the wrestling bouts
with his training partners.
Back of Gotch's feeling that he may
be rushing his work too much, there
by getting fit for the crucial match
too soon, may be his expressed inten-
ton of entering the ring heavier than
ever he has been before. Too long and
strenuous training probably would
have the opposite effect from that de-
sired by the champion, and the switch
in his usual methods probably Is due
to the weight proposition.
Gotch worked out on the mat this
afternoon with both Joe Rogers and

ASYLUM NURSES
LOSE THEIR JOBS
Thirty two Employees of State
at Kankakee Fired After
Investigation.
DETECTIVES AS PATIENTS
Action Taken After the Exposure
Through Rock Islanders of
Conditions at Geneva.

Thirty-two nurses, most of them wo-
men, were summary discharged from
their positions at the state insane asy-
lum at Kankakee yesterday for the
alleged mistreatment of patients and
on charges of an even more serious
nature
The ousting Of the nurses followed
an investigation by private detectives
men and wonderland covering sew
eral weeks. Disguised as insane pa
tients, they mingled with the unfor-
Inmates in the institution and the pre-
ferring of wholesale charges followed.
CHARGES FILED.
The charges upon which the nurses
were removed were:
UnwarTanted abuse and mistreat-
ment of patients.
Pilfering of patients belongings and
of gifts sent them by relatives.
Frequsntfng of saloons by male
nurses, who became intoxicated.

cruelties that had been practiced by
the nurses. Gifts of clothing and mon
ey which had been sent to inmates
failed TO reach them, having been
"side-tracked" and confiscated, II is
charged, by the nurses.
Private detectives of the Pfnkerton
agency were employed and placed in
the institution. One detective, a wo-
man, was stationed in the woman's de-
partment. They view at first hand the
actions of all nurses. Bundles con-
tanning valuable clothes and even mon
ey were sent to them from the out
side, and in many cases, it is said,
failed to reach the pseudo patients.
SHADOwED IN KANKAKEE.
While this inquiry was being con-
Quoted within the walls OF the asylum
buildings other detectives were shad-
owing nurses while the latter were in
Kankakee. Many, it is said, were
found to frequent saloons.
The Investigation at the insane asy-
lum is the first since the junket taken
by the state legislative Investigating
committee three years ago at all state
institutions, when deplorable condi-
tions were revealed.

The appearance is anything but or
namental, and rather than adding to
the appearance of the thoroughfare,
1t detracts and makes the avenue

The poles are set in concrete and

defect in the concrete base might
allow the pole to give sufficiently to
overcome the difference.
1t may be possible that the wires
will pull the poles SO that they will
be parallel to the buildings lines, but
it is the opinion of those who have
noticed the work that the defect will
not be remedied 1t is true that the
wooden poles gave and leaned to
ward the street, but that was due
more to the warping of the posts than
any defect in the setting

HOPE TO GATHER $1,000
Fund Needed to Buy Association
House at Presently Occupied
on Seventeenth Street.

Workers OF the Associated CharitieA
have been busy all day taking subscrip-
tons and collecting money for the S.
900 fund with which to purchase for a
home their present quarters on Seven
teenth street.
Each worker wore a white badge
bearing the inscription, Associated
Charities" in blue, and was provided
with a receipt book on which was
stamped the number Of the district In
which she worked. Each person sub
scribing was provided with a receipt,
and thus the work can be checked and
everyone be assured OF whom he was
dealing with. The city had been d.
vided into SO districts, but in some of
the larger districts more than one
worker was assigned. Thus, If they
averaged $50 in their collections, the
entire amount was subscribed.
COMMITTEE ENCOURAGED.
At the time OF going to press It was
impossible to obtain any figures or
forecast the outcome of the canvass.
Only 10 books had been turned In, and
while the collections represented by
them were fairly encouraging, no line
could be gotten upon those still to be
heard from. The committee In charge,
however, was optimistic as TO the out
come and no doubt will have a good re.
port when all the workers have cash
ed in.
