Dr. II. S. Summers of West Point , ex-
supcrlntcnacnt of iho asylum nt Norfolk ,
is in Omaha. In conversation yesterday
with a Bun reporter. Dr. Summers revealed
quite an interesting chapter in the record
of the State Board of Public Lands and
Buildings. Dr. Summers did not talk like
a man who has a grievance. The statements
he made canto more In the form of n casual
conversation than In the guise of a growl.
- ' I see that the State Board of Public
Lands and Buildings has been posing as a
very much overworked body of men , " said
the doctor at the outset. "It may bo true
thai they worked very hard , " ho confiuupd ,
' but they must have pul In a good deal of
their time visiting other institutions than
Iho asylum at Norfolk If that is the case ,
for during my rorm of thirteen months not a
member of the board overset foot in the in.
slilutinn. They did not oven write nny let
ters of inquiry to loam how the institulion
was getting on. I will say to their credit ,
however , that when I wrote lo Iho board
about matlors'pertainlng to the instilution
my letters wore always promptly answered.
"Tun BEE claims that certain funds appro
priated for pulling in a new boiler al iho
asylum wore spent for olher purposes. lean
easily explain that matter. When I took
charge of the institution I found by the able
assistance of Mr. Patterson , who ii recog
nized ns ono of the very best engineers in
the state , that the sUoll of the old boiler
was perfectly good , although some of the
Hues were worn out. We also discovered
thai the high pressure boiler was in n
similar condition. I scut to Sioux City
for an experienced boiler maker and had
him examine the old hollers. Ho said that
for $185 he could make the old ones
as good asinew. I found thai I could have
the old boilers repaired and have money
enough left out of the boiler fund to repair
some of Iho floors , which were completely
worn out , and provide some needed appa
ratus for the laundry. Before turning a
hand , however , I went to Lincoln , taking the
engineer with mo , and laid Iho matter be
fore the board. Mr. Hastings said they did
not want to make a public record of the mai
ler. Allen told mo to go ahead and carry
out the plan I suggested with regard to re
pairing the old boilers nnd they would see
that iho bills were pa id.1" I did so , and in
spending tlio money for repairs instead -
stead of buying now boilers I was
simply carrying oul Iho inslructlons of
the board. I certainly was not guilty
of misapplying the funds , for I laid the
whole mutter before the board and waited
for Instructions. I have no apology to make
for the suggestion , either , for I believed then
and I bollovo now that U was the best thing
to do under the circumstances. The only
thing I care to say In connection with that
matter is that the board should not blame
mo for the manner in which thai money was
expended when Iho plan was approved by
the board and I simply carried out instruc
tions.
"When I took charge of the asylum , after
Governor Boyd had been declared a citizen
and had again been restored to his rightful
position as governor , Dr. Wilkinson , my pre
decessor , had expended , between April 1 ,
IB'Jl , and February 15. 180-J. a little over
$3,000 , leaving mo with less lhan $7,000 lo
run the Institulion for nearly fourteen
months. * I soon discovered thai I was likely
to come oul wilh a deficiency and sot about
planning to have money in some way , so that
I could pull the Institution through on Iho
money appropriated for the two years , $15-
000 , My engineer told mo that if wo could
get Rock Springs coal Instead of Newcastle
wo could save several hundred dollars. I
asked him if ho could give substantial proof
of Ihls statemenl. Ho showed that ho
could got 30 per cent more service
out of the Uock Springs coal than
out of Iho Newcastle coal. I had
him make u | statement of this and I wired
Mr. Allen not to let the contrao ; for anymore
moro coal until I could see him. I went to
Lincoln a few days later and found that the
board had lot the contrail for Newcastle
slack Loal right in iho face of iho ovldenco
that I had furnished. I told the board that
if they would pivo mo Hock Springs slack in
stead of Newcastle I could pull tlio Institu
tion through on the appropriation , but I
could not do It if they persisted in furnish
ing mo with Newcastle coal. Instead of do
ing as I suggested , they sent mo u lot
of Newcastle lump nt (4.05 per ton in
stead of slack at 1.85. It happened
that I ran out of Newcastle coal ono tluio
because the company having the contract
had none on hand , I wired Mr. Allen ask
ing him what I should do and ho answered
mo , stating that 1 lian better purchase from
some of the local dealers. I laid in a good
supply of Hook Springs coal and saved over
I.VW. Last January I told Mr. Allen that
thcro was going to bo a deficiency in tlio
entire appropriation , but if the board would
permit mo to buy coal as 1 wanted to 1 could
save several hundred dollars on the coal ac
count and probably bring the institution out
pretty nearly even. They agreed to let mo
follow that plan nnd between January 1 and
April 1 I saved $1,1)27. ) That is , I expended
that much loss than would have been ex
pended if iho board had persisted in purchas
ing Newcastle coal. Now I would like to
know what has been done wilh that monoy.
"It might have been spent for coal , but I
saved It in the way I have explained. In the
statement of the expenditures I fall to find
what has becomn of iho $1,037 , und Hint Is
the thing I want the board to explain. It
ought to bo accounted for in some way , and
1 ex poet to bo in Lincoln lu a fevr days and
then I nin going to find out if the board can
tell mo what bucaino of that money and why
it has not boon accounted for. I requested
the board nt ono time to Imvo BOIUO of the
money shifted to the accounts that were
running low. but the auditor would not do
that. Ho suggested , that I go ahead and
save all I could in the coal account. Now
I want to hear some satisfactory statement
of how tto money was finally gotten out of
the coal account und where It went to. "

Fowler III Note * and

"I'm an old man out of money , " was the
only excuse P. F. Britt gave last evening for
cutting his throat with the intention of com-
mlting suicldo.
Britt is about 05 years of age. Yesterday
afternoon he went into the alleyway bo-
woon Twenty-sixth and Twenty-seventh
and M and N streets and with a penknife made
bungling Job a determined effort to take
his life. The blade of the knlfo was very
mall and did not go m deep. The wlndoipo
and jugular woro'not touched , but one opon-
: ug was made from Just bolovr the chin
through to the mouth. Ho was standing
in a stooped position with the blood gushing
out in a stream when discovered by Peter
Johnson nnd some boys who were playing
ball. The police were notified and Britt
was taken to the police station , where Dr.
Kclloy sowed up the gashes.
Unless blood poisoning should sot in the
wounds are not considered necessarily fatal.
Early last evening Britt was taken to St.
Joseph's hospital. Ho had nothing to say ex
cept that ho did not cut deep enough.
Britt is the name Peter Mitchell and
other acquaintances know the man by , al
though ho had lectors in his pocket ad
dressed to "S. P. Brock. " Ho was originally
from New York City , where years ago ho
was considered a wealthy mail. Ho lost
ills wife , children and monoyand came west.
Three years ago ho went to vrork at
Cudahy's , and , with the oxcoptlon of a few
months that ho was In Kansas City , has
worked thoro. steadily until a few days ago ,
wh < * n ho was discharged. Those who know
him consider him to bo Insane. For years ho
had been a hard drinker , but some months
ago was cured of the drink habit acd has
not touched liquor since. Britt was a quiet
man and never bothered auy one.

Fish Commissioner Blair states that the
commission Is now engaged In distributing
lt,500,000 ! wall-eyed plko and 1,000,000 , rain
bow trout ( n the-TTaXere of- the state. They
were hatched at the state hatcheries at
South Bend and are now , at the ago of two
weeks , nearly throe inches In length. The
distribution of earp and bass will not take
place until fall. About 2,500,000 brook trout
were distributed during February. It is
the intention of the commission to enlarge
the hatchery pools this year , so that next
year it will bo possible to make a distribu
tion of nearly 3,000,000 trout. Tlio greater
number of the fish thus distributed will Hvp ,
although it is always counted that u certain
small percunlago of them will die , as the
larger fish in the lakes and pdnds where
they are planted will dispose of thorn before
they grow to sufficient slzo to take cure of
Micmsolves. The young ones are placed In
.ho shallow places and behind tlic rushes
nd reeds , where they are afforded some
irotoctlon , and. as they prow very rapidly
luring the earlier period of their existence ,
are soon out of the way of the danger that
menaced them at first.
