"At 3:10 o'clock one torpedo ws fired at the Lusitania, which hit its starboard side below the captain’s bridge.

EXPENSESARE LESS BOARD OF CONTROL EFFECTS SAVING FOR NEXT 2 YEARS. 4,762 WARDS BEING CARED FOR Increase of Eleven Per Cent Since 1913—Feat Considered Triumph for That Body. Lincoln.—A total of 4,762 wards of the state are now being cared for at the fifteen state institutions under charge of the state board of control, as compared to 4,318 wards in No vember, 1913. The figures are com piled from a recent report of the board. The number, in both in stances, includes the children listed with the dependent home. The latter institution was not actually in the board’s control list at the time the first report was made, but since has become a part of its list. Despite this increase of approxi mately 11 per cent in the inmate numbers, the board will run the in stitutions on less money during the coming two years than was required during the two years just past. The feat is a real financial triumph for the board, inasmuch as its word gov erned the legislature exclusively when the lawmakers had their appro priations under discussion. The success of the board In manag ing the institutions and in looking after the welfare of the inmates— charitable, penal and otherwise—is proof abundant that the people of the state acted wisely when they put the affairs of the institutions under its control The institutional population, as re ported front the various homes, is as follows: Where the State Wards Are: Nov.
