r. E. Angel, Attendant at Asylum, De-
mics Statements About McNoun.

Whenever the state board of control
is able to locate a person who seems to
know something about the charges of
cruelty and mistreatment to patients
at the state hospital for the insane, the
board holds a hearing and gets the
testimony of the witness Every day or
two the board receives notice that some
one. formerly employed or now en-
pioyed knows something about the
specific charges made against the hos
pital attendants and DR.. T. c. Biddle.
Yesterday afternoon the testimony
of r. E. Angel, an attendant at the
hospital was taken. In the original
hearing week ago a former attend
ing burned with lantern. Angel was
an attendant in the same ward and
was one of the men who had had
charge of the patients. He was called
to tell about the burns and explain
how the patient came to be burned, if
the marks We're as the former witness
had said. Angel has been away on
his vacation and returned to Topeka
few days ago. He was brought be-
fore the board yesterday. H. c. Bow
man, chairman of the board, was the
only member present. DIR. Cooper, of
the hospital staff, was also present. All
the testimony is being carefully writ

evidence is completed the board will go
| through the evidence.
Angel was given the cony of the evil
dence presented by F. S. Phelps, the
attendant who told. under oath that a
patient, William McNoun, had been
burned with a lantern. Phelps said that
while he was bathing McNoun he no.
ticed some round marks on his body,
| 10 or Is of them and he was sure the
| marks were caused by burning with a
| lantern. Phelps said that the burns
| were SO deep that the words stamped
| on the top of the lantern were burned
| into the skin of the patient. Angel was
an attendant at the hospital at the
| time. Phelps says he noticed the marks
on McNoun and Phelps said that An

BIG JEWELRY ROBBERY.
New York Police Headquarters Will
Give Out No Details.

New York, March 29.-There was a
great hustle of activity at the New
York police headquarters during the
early morning hours today. Police Of
ficials would admit that another big
jewelry robbery had been discovered
and that the home of a wealthy New
Yorker had been looted of the vaIu-
ables worth fully $751; The name
OF the victim could not be obtained
an dthe details of the theft were also
closely guarded.
1t was unofficially reported that the
robbery was the work of a trusted
butler who had worked himself into
his employers confidence and had
then taken advantage of the temper
airy absence of the family from town
to escape with his plumber. A partial
list of the stolen goods showed that
a great part of the missing valuabIes
consisted of silver and gold utensils,

NEED FIRE ESCAPES.
Federal Building in Chicago Is i'll
Violation of the City Laws.

Chicago, March 29.-Attention of
building inspectors who are investigat-
ing fire escapes facilities in Chicago,
following New York's catastrophe Sat
urday, has been turned to the federal
building. City Building Commissioner
Murdoch Campbell expressed the opin-
ion yesterday that this building repre-
sents perhaps the most fragrant viola
ton of the city's fire escape laws. The
building proper is eight stories high
and is topped by six story dome,
making it fourteen stories 1t is not
equipped with even one fire escape.
Nearly $500 persons are employed in
the building. While many of those
are at work in the postoffice on the
lower floors, there are important Of
fees and courts in the upper stories
Repeated efforts have been made by
city building department officials, 1t
was stated, to have the federal build
ing equipped. with fire escapes.
Professor Henry j. Cox, weather
forecaster, who, with his force of
clerks and assistants, occupies the
fourteenth floor, believes there is real
danger in the lack of fire escapes on
the building.
There certainly should be escapes
on the north and south sides of the
dome, at least" said Cox. 81 am not
personally terrified, nor are any of my
assistants. At the same time, one
cannot help but realize the desperate
situation which would exist if there
was fire in this building

GAVE WARDEN WORST OF TT.
Justice of Peace Who Sent Dyche's
Officer to Jail Will Be Prosecuted.

The arrest of two hunters in Craw-
ford county Saturday for violations of
the new fish and game law brought a
Jail sentence to the game warden, a
habeas corpus proceeding to get him
out of Jail and an order for an custer
suit against the justice of the peace

dens in Crawford county. He arrested
two men Saturday for violating the

hunters were not guilty, but he dis
charged them and then assessed the
costs of the case against the game
warden. State officials are not liable
for the costs in criminal actions which
they bring. but the ]. p. wanted his
fees and he determined to get them.
Doty refused to pay the costs and

TE-Estf1MS

In a note preceding the cast on the
programs last night it was stated that
Anti Matrimo ny'' was a satirica1 bur
lesque, contained no serious situations
and was written to make you laugh.
The audience at the Grand was glad
that this note was printed. If it hadn't
been printed there might have been
someone in the crowd who would have
taken the play seriously.
''Anti-M atrimony in nut SHE'LL is
this: a young man and woman were
married abroad. They returned to
America with their baby. Stopping at
the home of the husbands brother and
the wife'S sister, they decided to play a
joke on them. They claimed they were
advocates of free love" They denied
being married and acted shocked at
such a mention. The brother of the
pair was a minister and his wife a
minister's wife were naturally horri-
fled at the action of the pair-to think
they were not married and had a baby!
But accidentally they overheard the
couple plotting as to how they would
paign and they prepared themselves
for the onslaught. They decided to
accept the doctrine of the pair-and
in so doing they would turn the tables
and discourage them with their ruse.
The minister and his wife Succee ed
ed-they cured them of their free
love" theories and made them admit
they were married and the baby was
perfectly all right
Now if anyone goes to theater
with the expectation of finding any
thing serious in that-or even any
thing natural-he has chosen the
wrong place.
Referring to the laugh part of the
note: Henrietta Crosman was there.
OF course, she was the main attraction
the play was secondary matter.
Henrietta Crosman has been in To-
peka many times before, and she is
always greeted with enthusiasm, even
though her plays vary in popularity
and entertainment.
She was especially attractive last
night. With the exception of the first
act, she was given the privilege of
wearing her good clothes. Her clever
ness as an actress in comedy was clear
" shown in the part she played in
Anti Matrimony," despite the fact
that she created much of it in her own
character outside of the play.

RABIES IN new JERSEY.
DIR. Curry Says All Dogs in State
Should Be Guaranteed for Year.

New York. March 29.-Rabies has
become so widely epidemic in north
ern New Jersey that a quarantine of
dogs throughout the state for whole
year is the only way in which the dis
ease can be stamped out, according to
DIR. w. w. Curry, state veterinary
surgeon of Hackensack.
''That was the way England wiped
out an epidemic of hydrophobia," he
said, land it is the only way to wipe

DAWSON STOPS 1T.
Will Prosecute Insurance Companies
for Trying to Raise Rates.

John Dawson, attorney general, has
brought an antitrust suit in the dis
trict court for Jefferson county against
the insurance companies doing a liza
bility insurance business in the state.
The suit is against the following COM
panieS:
Aetna Life Insurance company.
American Fidelity company.
The CaSulty Company of America.
Consolidated Casualty company.
Empire State Surety company.
The Fidelity and Casualty company
of New York.
General Accident, Fire and Life AS
surance corporation Qimited)-
Maryland Casualty company.
The Ocean Accident and Guarantee
corporation (limited).
Pacific Mutual Life Insurance COM
! pany Of Los Angeles, Cal, (accident
Department..
Pennsylvania Casualty company.
The Standard Accident Insurance
company.
The Travellers Insurance company.
United States Casualty company.
United States Fidelity and Guaranty
company.
The attorney general charges that
the companies have entered into con-
spiracy to increase the rates for LA
bility insurance and that the COM
panies have agreed that the now rates
should go into effect April 1. The suit
is brought to stop the rates going into
effect and the petition asks for an in
junction to prevent the companies
making the increases in rates. The
companies notified I. S. Lewis, insur
ance commissioner, of the proposed
increases but have not yet filed the
schedules of rates with that depart
ment.
1t is believed that the change in the
rates is made on account of the COM
pensation law passed by the 1911 leg
| islature. 1t was argued that the liza
bility f employers for injury or death
to employees being fixed, it would en-
able the insurance companies to re-
duce the rates for liability insurance.
Evidently the insurance companies
think otherwise and it is said that the
proposed changes in the rates for this
kind of insurance is directly caused by
| the com pensation law.
