=" II the state board OF control wants
Frank Mcdonald, workhouse superin-
tendent' to become superintendent of
the state training school for boys at
Red Wing it must come after Mr.. Nc
Donald. He is not out after the lob.
II have understood that the state
board would consider only those who
made application for the position"
said Mr.. Mcdonald. II have not made
application and do not intend to do so.
I hear that Representative Lydiard.
who fought the board of control in the
whittier case, has advocated my ap-
pointment. do not think the boards
possible attitude toward Mr. Lydiard
would make any difference in it's atti-
tude toward me. I do not know that
I would accept the position if offered
to me.''
c. J. Swendsen, member of the state
board of control, says no further in
vestigation will be made by that body
of the cause of death of August Zim-
norman, who died in the Rochester
hospital for the insane, Dec. 8. Rela-
tives had charged that the death was
occasioned by brutal treatment admin
istered by hospital attendants. CAL
though we have received letter from
w. r. Stephens of Minneapolis and his
attorney, David r. Thomas, requesting
an investigation the board will take
no further action, unless some new
facts and circumstances can be
shown" said Mr.. Swendsen. "Follow-
ing Zimmerman's death DR.. Kilbourne
of the asylum asked the board for an
investigation. The board of control
went to Rochester, spent day there,
and found no one to blame. It was
explained that Zimmerman had thrown
himself across the room and fractured
several ribs. The board was convinced
that no one was responsible"
WITH THE DEAD.
