(Spcial.)-Tabltha home was Investigated today by a commit tee of representative Lincoln men and women and every noolc and corner of the place, every bedstead," every mattress and every little dark recess was peered into; doors were unlocked and every skeleton about the place wu exhumed and trotted out tor the edification of the committee This . investigating committee organised Itself for the pudpoae of looking Into the numerous reports concerning the bad man agement of the home and the ill treatment of the Inmates which have been Industri ously circulated for the last year or more, or since the State Board of Charities and Correction and the City Charity assocla tion failed In an effort to oust President Ilelner and Mrs. Heiner, who have built up the Institution and managed It since Its organisation. ..' The committee, which was composed of about twenty-five men and women, was headed by Mrs. Sarah Harris, Will Owen Jones. John Davis, secretary of the State Hoard of Charities and Correction; Presl ient Prevey of the City Charity associa tion. Dr. Perky and others prominent In iffalrs of charity. For some months past reports have reached Mr Davis and others that the Inmates Tiave not been receiving proper treatment; that they were not being fed and clothed as they should be and that the building was In an unsanitary condi tion. Some foundation was laid for the stories by reason of the fact that three of the Inmates, each of whom paid to President Heiner several hundred dollars to be cared for during the remainder of their live, rerently brought suit In the county court for the recovery of the WASTING AWAY It's the small but constant loss of flesh that indicates physical waste the gradual slipping away of healthy flesh, pound by pound, which no ordinary food seems to re store.

The committee expected to take Mr. anl Mrs. Heiner by surprise, but when' the members arrived they were more surprised than were the officials of the home. Mrs. Heiner was Just preparing to serve dinner to the eighty-six inmates, but this work had to be set aside while she and President Heiner escorted the committee through the structure. The dinner remained upon the stove and out In the back yard the little children played and "licked their chops" and worked up an appetite. The committee went through the- home like sleuth hounds and nothing was left "uninvestigated." A door of a closet was found locked. Woman Is Suspicions. "What's in that roomf" demanded a fe male member of the committee. "We want to see In there." i "There Is nothing Jn that closet, and I haven't a key for it," replied Mrs. Heiner. "It hasn't been opened for months, but I will have it opened for you." The committee waited expectantly while the house carpenter was sent for and took the hinges off the door. The committee craned Its necks Into the closet and found nothing, Just as Mrs. Heiner said. "Who does the work around here?" de manded a female inquisitor of Mrs. Heiner. "I do," replied Mrs. Heiner. "For eight weeks we have been unable to get any help to stay with us, and I have had to do the cooking and attend to the personal needs of the older members of the home who can not look after themselves." Many of the Inmates whom Mrs. Heiner looks after are absolutely helplfss. Sho does the cooking herself with the assistance of a few of the older girls, who as a ruin are Incapable of doing much work. Besides doing Jhis she looks after the entire Insti tution and helps two teachers instruct the young persons in the home. These two teachers are the only paid employes at the Institution. A number of the Inmates of the hospital, which was found to he In good shape, told the committee that they did not get suffi cient food, and one of them said he had been fed last week for several days on "bran mash." He paid $500. he said, to be cared for the rest of his life and Is now suing to recover his money. Some humorous Incidents occurred during the trip through the various rooms, and on several occasions the committee was nonplussed. Once, whllo a doien or more of them were In the hall plying Mrs. Heiner and President Heiner with questions, an aged inmate tottered out to the group and said: "Well, ladles and gentlemen, I have to go, so I will tell you goodbye. God Mens you all, cr.d you, Dr. Heiner, I want to shake hands with you. I never had a better home than this. God blens you." . Difference of Opinion. Some members of the committee after the investigation were of the opinion that the case Is one of a lack of funds, while others maintain It Is bad management on the part of Mr. and Mrs. Heiner. In the institution there are eighty-six people, of whom about fifty are small children. The institution is maintained . by public sub scriptions and donstions and by some parties paying for the board of relatives, which ranges all the way from H0 to Cu a month. Dr. Ilelner said last year he had collected and spent about 17.000 In main taining the Institution, and needed much more money. The building Is a three-story brick and t surrounded by Cftc n acres of ground, upon whlfh is a small vineyard, a little garden and a number of flower beds. The location Is ideal for such a home and the property is valued at tio.ou. The state has no control over the Institu tion and contributes nothing to Its support. This committee organised Itself, as a mem ber said, to create public sentiment against the Helners so aa to run them out of the home or force them to allow members tf para from your merchant tailor.

Just at this time Mr. Heiner has no agents on the road to collect sub Hciiptions, but depends solely upon his own exertions to raise the money. In the opin ion of some members of the committee It will be necessary for money to be raised in order that the home can do what it was Intended to do, but the committee teemed adverse to assisting in the money raising business unless the Helners re linquished control of the institution. Finally Commend Home. The parties who Investigated the home today met at the First Baptist church to night and adopted resolutions commending t"lie conduct of the institution by Rev. and Mrs. Heiner. The resolutions committee, which was appointed this afternoon, also brought in the announcement that Mr. and Mrs. Heiner de'Jlred to withdraw from the management of the institution provid ing satisfactory disposition could be made of the property. A committee was selected to confer on this proposition. As Mr. Heiner has the say about the disposition of the property, and as the Investigating committee has endorsed his conduct of affairs, a hitch in the proceedings of transfer is not looked for. The resolutions committee was composed of Rev. Newman, Z. T. Batten,- Sarah Harris, C. E. Prevey and John Davis. Many Teachers In Attendance. ' The meeting of principals and superin tendents of schools now in progress at the State university Is the largest meet ing of the kind ever held here and there fore the teachers are supposed to be de riving great good from it. TonlRht a ban quet was bold at the Undell hotel at which about i50 were present. Prof. Stephens of the Lincoln High school acted as toastmaater. Fries Wants a Primary. Senator Fries of Arcadia, who is being spoken of as a candidate for governor, Is attending to business In Lincoln. It is generally understood that Senator Fries will make an endeavor to have the county committee of Valley county declare for a primary next year to settle the question of whether he or John Wall gets the dele gation to the state convention, providing the state committee fails to endorse the platform of the republican state conven tion and authorizes a state primary.
