The appointment Of NJ. L. Elken as
Mayville resident member. of the nor
NAL school board of control is highly
gratifying to the normal at Mayville.
Elken has ever shown his inter-
est in the school by being a consist
ent booster and he has an interest in
educational affairs in general and has
been q large factor In the local city
schools for several years. He will be
a valuable member of this board. Mr..
Taylor, whom Mr.. Elken succeeds,
has devoted much timesand thought to
the matters pertaining to the normals
and the local school hopes that his be-
ing off the board now will not u
his visits to cease. He has looked aft
er the interests of the state locally in
a very efficient ann and the school
is grateful to him.
1t will seem like old times to those
who were serving the normal about
1900 to see Hon. J.. M. Devine again
visiting in official capacity. He at
that time displayed his interest in the
normal schools and his mastery Of the
problems concerning them. He will
undoubtedly be able to assist in max
ing even more efficient than they now
are in the matter of training of teach

MEN TORTURED
IN AUBURN PRISON
Convicts Deprived of Food and SIeep
for Petty Ofenses-28 Became
Insane

ALBANY, April 2S.-'.I have found
IN Auburn prison brutality. violation of
law, waste and general incompetencv.
Twenty eight prisoners have become in
sane during the last twelve months.
he testimony of trustworthy witnesses
indicates that cruel punishment de
prlved some of these prisoners of their
reason, that the prison doctor Is care
less and unfeehng and that he has re-
peatedly refused TO attend upon women
prisoners in confinement
This commentary on Auburn prison
startled Gov. Sulzer last night as he
read the report compiled by George W.
Blake, special commissioner designated
under executive order to investigate
the prisons Of the state of New York.
That report speaks for itself - said
the governor
The story of Auburn prison as told in
the report of Commissioner Blake re-
calls the days when men were strung
up by the thumbs for some infraction
of the prison discipline, only that the
mode of punishment now is more scien-
/ tifc and begets more narrowing re-
suits. When Gov. Sulzer read this re-
port he vowed he would remedy these
conditions and prosecute the men re
sponsible for them.
