STATE BOARD
SUBSIDIARIES
AT JAMESTOWN
Will Investigate Alleged Bru-
tality ut State Hospital
For Insane
NJ EETING TO-DAY
Conference with President oil
Institutions and Others
on Program

The state board Of administration
will begin investigation ut James
town today Of charges that inmates
of the state insane hospital have
been treated cruelty by guards.
Tn board members were to meet
at the hospital today, following a
meeting ut Valley City yesterday
with normal school heads.
No formal plan had been arranged
for the investigation, prompted in
part by charges made by Ed. Steib,
former employe at the institution,
who declared guards often beat in
sane prisoners who did not do thei
bidding. Other letters making SINH
lar charges have been received by
the board. The meeting today was
expected to be concerned chiefly
with discussions with DR.. A. W..
Guest, superintendent, and others.
Because the irresponsibility Of pa
tients in such an institution, makes
their testimony Of little value it
was understood the board had plan
ned to use other methods to test
the truth of charges made.
The position of attendance in an
insane hospital is a distinct avoca-
tion. according to some state Off
cials. Guards usually are persons
experienced in such work at various
institutions, and frequently they
travel from one institution to anoth-
er to vary the monotony of their
unpleasant tasks.
