GRAND ISLAND , March 10. ( Special. )
The Investigation Into the charges filed -by
Mart Howe against Commandant Wilson of
the Soldiers' home was begun at 10 o'clock
thla morning , Governor Holcomb presld'ng.
Mr. Howe was present , accompanied by his
attorney , Mr. McNerny. Mr. Wlleon was
represented by O. A. Abbott of this city and
Judge Stark of Aurora. The governor's
private stenographer , Mr. Nelson , took all
the testimony. The case v.as opened by a
statement by Governor Holcomb , showing
that ho had appointed commandant Wilson ,
that Commandant Wilson had appointed
Adjutant Howoj that early In January rumors
began to bo circulated pertaining- the mis-
mannEcment of the home and the conduct
of the commandant. That while he had at
nil times been ready to give attention to
formal charges , the rumors had so far been
Informal. The Grand Army of the Republic ,
nt Its encampment , saw fit to pass a resolu
tion requesting an examination Into the mat
ter nnd Commandant Wilson had thereupon
written to him requesting the Investigation.
Mr. Howe had filed charges nnd he presented
the letter and the charges as a basis for the
invest'sntlon. '
Mr. McNerny , for Howe , stated that ho
understood that the charces to bo Investi
gated were the general rumors referred to
In the loiter of Governor Holcomb to the
commandant of the Grand Army of the Re
public and that they did not expect to go
into the charges speclflclally which were
afterwards filed by Howe. At any rate , he
desired a statement from the Visiting and
Examining board of the home and Its ac
count of the home management.
Attorney Abbott thought that It was an
nnuKiial nnd unheard ot procedure and that
It was doing that of which the adjutant com-
plalnod , giving one no opportunity to bo
hoard , or to answer charges. As far as ho
know the Visiting and Examining board had
no charges to make and the members thereof
were here only as witnesses and to be guided
In the future by the outcome of the Investi
gation.
Mr. McNerny answered that ho d'tl not de
sire to put the members of the Visiting and
Examining board on the defensive , but that
a statement from them as to what evidence
was before them when they confirmed the
discharge of the adjutant by the command
ant , might bo desirous before the Investiga
tion terminated.
Mr. Abbott then asked Mr. McNerny If ho
did not wish to proceed with the Investiga
tion on the charges filed and McNerny
stated that he had not so expressed himself.
Governor Holcomb assured them that any
witness they wished to call would be called
and any questions might be asked them.
HOWE GIVES HIS TESTIMONY.
Manager Howe then took the stand and
occupied the same the entire morning. He
ft went Into the varlcus Incidents In which ,
ftif 0.3 ho alleged , the commandant had shown
Is Irritability of temper. In detail. Aa the
s first Instance ho related that upon their tak
ing charge ot the Home there was an in-
Ife male named Everett , with whom Howe had
been acquainted in Lincoln , and whom HOWE
fe- termed a dangerous man. Everett had been
In the habit of securing passes at midnight
At one time Mr. Wilson asked Everett whal
his business was , BJ late. Everett refused tc
answer , and Mr. Howe , who was present
ventured the remark that If he were th <
commandant , Everett would state his bust
ness beffaco he obtained another pass. There :
upon Wilson had Informed Howe that hi
waa not the commandant of the Home. An ;
other Instance , occurred later on , when th <
adjutant had ordered Dome laundry tags
Wilson had been Informed previously thai
the laundry tags were necessary , but hac
paid no attention to the matter. Upon th <
second request by the superintendent of Uu
laundry. Howe had ordered the tags and the :
arrived In duo time at the expiess office. Wil
son was then notified that the good were 01
Hand and that $3 was due , together with ex
change and express charges , Mr. Howe \va
taken to taok for buying them In gruff Ian
guago by the commandant. The third In
stance related was In regard to a type
writer. Wilson wanted to. engage n type
writer , and Howe thought It unnecessary
unless It" was for private correspondence o
the commandant. Howe finally roommondei
toWlloon the advantages of economy , an
so on , , until he was again Informed that h
T/aa not the commandant ot the Inttltutlor
As the fourth display cf temper by Com
mandant Wilson , Howe related that on th
niornlng of January 30 he was accosted b
the commandant , who asked "who tha
dtrango woman was ? " Howe Informed WIlso
that the woman had been sent out by Mr :
Abbott. One , remark led to another , untl
Mr. IIowo alleges , ho was so exasperated tha
ho called Mr. Wilton a liar , and he wa
thereupon discharged.
* SHOWING OF THE RECORDS.
Theoffomjo record kept among theotlle ,
books at the Soldiers' homo played a cot
pplcuous , but really unimportant part of th
Investigation thls-nfternoon. Instances whet
Inmates were discharged -were brought up b
the complainant , but In almost every It
stance it was shown that the Inmate ha
been drunk , had been reprimanded , had 01
fended again , and some times in a grave
manner than drunkenness. So far as tlies
cases' wore concerned , the showing made wn
reallyweak. .
The Incompetency of engineers nnd cooli
waa also dwelt upon by Howe , and In som
details corroborated by others. Howe state
that Wilson's son-in-law , Wallace , who wi
ono of the engineers , had let water run Inl
the boilers until steam was almost dowi
At another time the tank ran entirely1 ompl
at daylight , and It was 11 o'clock befoi
steam was secured. Howe also testified tin
the cookti had at times burned things to
crlop , and at others furnished food that w ;
oat cooked done.
One of tbo complainant's gravest chargi
was that the commandant had detailed mete
to go Into the hay Held who were sufferli
froni hernia , but It was shown on his on
cross-examination that the haymaking wi
done while Wilson was at Chattanooga , ar
bad left IIowo In command. Wilson ha
given the order to make hay , and to dcta
I Inmates to assist before got as. Extreme
hot weather set In during his absence , ai
li citizens of this city began to complain. IIov
then violated the commandant's orders at
hired civilians. IIowo was compelled to a <

Owing to the absence of a largo number of
icmbcrs , the SpaulillnR resolution , limiting
ho rate of taxation to 2 % mills on the prcs-
nt valuation , wo * not called up. The "ap-
roprlatloiv comblrib , " 'h"8been actively at
vork to defeat the psolutlon and was wili
ng to put-off the fltml test of strength till
'hursdny. Chairman Wood and a majority
f the committee ou' hpproprlatlons are op
posed to bolnp "hampered or embarrassed , "
as they express It , In' their work , and some
t them seem to regard the passage of such
a restrictive order as equivalent to a vote
f want ot confidence In tholr wisdom and
agoclty Ujuoia reflection on the .honesty
f the committee. On the other hand , the
nore economical members , who have no
axes to grind , Insist that this la just what
committee needs to enable It to succoss-
ully withstand the enormous prcaeoiro of the
obby and lop off the needless and unneces
sary Items that the appropriation bills carry.
The question of recommending a pardoner
or the notorious Polk Wells consumed a
argo share of attention In the house. A
najorlty of the committee ou pardons recom-
nended his release.on . the ground of Im
paired health nnd Ilia fact that he had ox-
> erlenced religion and desired to go to work
in this line , choosing as a special field the
taunts ot the criminal classes. Representa-
! \'o Tlbbelts of Bremcr nnd Thompson of
layette , both member * ' of the committee on
lardons , filed a protest against the proposed
ictlon of the majority. Van Houtcn of Tay-
or also opposed , the recommendation. Ho
said all southwestern Iowa had been terror-
zed by Wells for years nnd a united protest
was coming up from that section against his
release. Mc-Arthur of Des Moincs county
nnd Brighton of Jefferson favored the adop
tion of the report of the committee. Mc-
Achran ot Davis , who was also a member of
the committee on pardons , stated that Polk
Wells only escapfed the gallows by a single
vote and if this ; report be adopted the legis
lature would have little to do. In' the future
but consider the requests of criminals for
pardons. The resolution was lost. Ayes ,

OTTAWA , Ont. , Marott 10. The Canadian
government has been officially advised that
the colonial conference on the Pacific cable
scheme will meet In London , about April 14 ,
Sir Mackenzie Bowell and Sanford Flcmlna
will likely be the Canadian , delegates. The
claims of Australia and New Zealand for the
landing place of the cable are met by a pro
posal to bifurcate tha line from Norfolk Isl
and , one "branch running direct to Brisbane
and the other to some point on the north
island of New Zealand. This ua'iemo would
nve 1,000 miles of cable. South Australia ,
which feared the construction of a cable ,
because it might Injure Its land line , will bo
conciliated by the offer ot compensation to
maintain revenue from the Transcontinental
line at the average level ot the past five
years. This , at any rate , Is the proposil
which the Australian colonies will submit
at the conference.

< > f the Phenomenon.
NEW YOIIK , March 10. The Electric Ro-
low will publish tomorrow a. communication
runt Nikola Tcsla , describing for Iho nrst
Inio his very Interesting- experiments In
adlography. The scientific world has been
waiting nn expression of opinion from Mr.
'esla , who la known to have begun his
xperlmcnts within an hour attar the news
of Prof. Roentgen's discovery wag cabled
o this country. In connection with Mr.
Testa's communication the Electrical Review
irints two romnrkablo radiographs. One of
heso shows the right shoulder of a man
nken through his clothing , a plate of glass
hree-slxteentlis of an Inch thick , nnd two
nches of wood. This radiograph , which was
made at a distance of four feet from Iho
course of the X rays , shows the ribs , shoulder
ones and bones of the upper arm. The
other radiograph shows a copper wire bent
o form the word Roentgen , and was made
at a distance of eleven feet from the wooden
lido covering the sensntlzed plate.
Mr. Tesla also states that the rarlflcatlons
of Croahe's tubes used In these experiments
may be Increased by electrical means to any
egreo desirable , far beyond that by mechani
cal appliances. This method he describes ,
n regard to the nature of the X rays , he
8aya : "I am getting more nnd more con-
Inced. that we have to deal with a stream
) f material particles which strike the scnsl-
Ive plate with great velocity. Taking as a
basis the estimate ot Lord Kelvin on the
speed of projected particles In n Crooko's
) Ulb , wo arrive easily by the employment
of very high potentials to speeds ot ns
nuch as 100 kilometres a second. Now ,
again , the old question arises : Are the par-
icleg from tlir electrode or from the charged
surface generally , including the case of an
external electrode , projected through the
; lass ol aluminum walls , or do they merely
lit the Inner surface and cause particles
'rom ' the outstdo of the wall to lly oft acting
n a purely mechanical way as when a row
of Ivory balls Is struck ? So far , moat of
ho phenomena Indicate that they arc pro-
cctcd through the walls of the bulb , ot
whatever material It may be , and I am seck-
ng for still more conclusive evidence In
this direction. It Is now demonstrated be
yond any doubt that small metallic objects
or bony or chalky deposits can be infallibly
detected In any part of the body. "
Teala has also secured radiographs showing
the body structure of birds and rabbits , oven
to the hollow of the bones. He has secured
a ladlograph ot a rabbit after an hour's ex
posure. In which not only every detail of the
skeleton Is visible , but also a clear outline
of the abdominal cavity , location of the
lungs and the fur , are shown. Radiographs
ot large birds show the feathers distinctly.
In another Instance an exposure of forty
minutes gave a radiograph of the human
skull , showing clearly not only the outline ,
but the cavity of the eye , jaw , nasal bones ,
lower jaw bone and connections to the upper
one , the vertebral column and connections
to the skull and even the hair.
Mr. Tesla concludes his communication In
the following Interesting words : "Hy ex
posing the head to a powerful radiation
strange effects have , been effected. For In
stance , I find there Is a tendency to sleep
and the time scemo to pass away quickly.
There Is a general soothing- effect and I
have felt' a sensation of warmth In the
upper part of the head. An assistant Inde
pendently confirmed the tendency to sleep
and a quick lapse of time. Should these re-
marknble effects ba verified by men with
keener sense of observation , I shall still
more firmly bellevo. In the existence ) of ma
terial streams penetrating the skull. Thus
It may bo possible by these strange ap
pliances to project a suitable chemical Into
any part of the body. "
\EW DEVELOPMENTS WITH X HAYS.
Ilerlln SclviitlntH MnklnK \ < MV DlHoov-
crlcH of. Great Vnliie.
WASHINGTON , March 10 , United States
Consul Do Kay at Berlin hus submitted to
the State department an Interesting report
upon later developments of the X rays , ac
companied by a pamphlet. In which Prof.
Roentgen , the discoverer , explains his re
searches. The consul getvsral'a report gives
many facts that have been discovered by
European experimenters In regard to the
rays which are unknown In this country.
For Instance , ho reports that they have been
used to detect false pearls after an exposure
of forty-five minutes , ar.J an Austrian
professor has discovered that they can also
be used to detect false diamonds.
A lierlliver has made a special photographic
paper for the direct reception of the rays.
In consequence , it Is now unnecessary to
make a negative , and so the reversed im
pression Incident to the negative Is obviated.
Moreover , It has been found that many
pictures may be taken at once in this man
ner by using a packet of the sensitive paper ,
since the rays penetrate all of the layer's.
Prof. Benderin Spies has succeeded In
passing the rays through a brasa counter ,
the resulting photograph showing the In
scription of one side and a bird In relief on
-the other.
Now methods of work have been brought
to light. The length of exposure can be
reduced from one hour to a few minutes.
The heavy charges of electricity which de
stroyed so many Crookes tubes have been
found to bo unnecessary. Moreover , the tifbe
Itself Is not required , and an ordinary In
candescent electric lamp eufllces If a metal
Is placed at a certain distance from it to
servo as a center for the X rays.
But one of the most Important applica
tions of the rays has been made surgically ,
By placing a subject to be examined before
a screen faced with a mixture ot barium ,
platinum and cyanlum , and allowing the
rays from .a tube enclosed Jn a dark cloth
to traverse the body , the Impression can
be seen by tbo eye on the surface of the
screen , which la rendered fluorescent nhere
ths rays fall uninterrupted upon It , and
the Surgeon is consequently cniblei to move
the subject freely before the fccreeu aivl
cxantno the Interior cf the body for for
eign substances or hurtful growths and dis
torted bones.

We have been making a , most thorough
and exhaustive test of your new dis
covery , Eos. for general laundry work ,
nnd have come to the conclusion that It
Is by far the best article we have ever
met with for washlng-clothes. Linens and
cotton goods come oul ] white and clean.
Flannels and woolens lire not only
washed clean , but come from the water
soft nnd fleecy as new , without shrink
ing. Wo have never used any prep
aration that could compare with thin
ono In washing flannels. We also nota
that It breaks the water , making It very
soft and pleasant to the hands and
docs not redden or chnp them. Wn
think so favorably of It that we shall
liereafler use It In our laundry.
