LINCOLN. S pt. 1 (Special Telegram.)
Members of the Heard of Public Lands and
Hullolngs returned this morning from
Grand Inland where they went to Investi
gate the charges agslnst the commander.
Lit Barnes. preferred by Adjutant Jos
ph McUraw. The boHi-d has not yet made
lln formal report, but It had been practi
cally agred that tne report will be to the
effect that the home in not being conducted
an It should be and that there I a lack
of harmony among the mployes and con
sequently dissension among the members.
Insofar as the charges of Kraft Is con
cerned the board will teport irteae charges
' wrre not sustained.
The report will ahow that the members
In the hospital are not receiving the kind
of food they should receive and that the
farmer ha not done aa well a he should
have done.
Before the board members went through
the hospital to question the sick soldiers
they discovered that Governor Shallen
betger had preceded them and questioned
the members. The governor then went
through with the board. Later a member
of the board went through alone and he
reported that the sick soldiers told dif
ferent story when the governor waa not
piesent, but In hl presence they seemed
afraid to make complaint.
It waj brought out In the evidence that
several fist fights had occurred between
employe and the management had per
i mltted the home to run down and It waa
In a deplorable condition.
While members of the board are of the
, opinion that It would be to the best In
: teresta of the state If both Commandant
, Barnes and Adjutant McQraw, as well
as the surgeon. Dr. Swlgart, were dis
charged, they will doubtless make no
uch recommendation, but will simply re
port that under the present management
the home Is not being conducted as It
. should be.
The fact that Commandant Barnes has
et aside the rules adopted by the board
and Installed a new set of rules came aa
a surprise to the board, though the gov
ernor atood by the commander, Inasmuch
as he said he had not signed the rules
of the board. The rulea of the board
have been In force for some years. It be
ing the opinion of the me in ben that
they stand until changed. Such also
waa the opinion of the attorney gen
eral and the supreme court ax evidenced
by the quotations from the rules In a
recent case regarding the pension money
of the soldiers.

Governor Shallenberger has Adjutnat
Mctiraw'a resignation from his place In
the soldiers' home, to take effect Octo

mitted to the governor that It was use
less for the two to try to co-operate.
Governor Shallenberger did not indicate
who the neat adjutant would be.
When Thins Were Different.
The fact that Lincoln ncwrpapers are
throwing u fit because the Board of Gov
ernors of Ak-Sar-Ben did not invite Gov
ernor bhalleiibeiger to the banquet to ba
tendered president Taft Monday night, has
recalled the fact I hut thtse same papers

void on two grounds, that the signers
were not proven to be freeholders, and

Girl Says She
Loves Stuckey
Ottawa, Kan., Minister Brought Back
with. Officer and Woman
Come Also.
OTTAWA, Kan., Sept. 1R Rev. Wallace
M. Stuckey reached here today from Wau
kegan, 111.. In company with Miss Lorena
Sutherland, the 16-year-old girl he Is ac
cused of abducting. The former pastor
was in the cuntody of an officer.
Several hundred persons met the party
at the station. Stuckey was taken to Jail.
while the girl was turned over to her
mother, who embraced her affectionately.
Miss Sutherland declared: "I am as
guilty as he. He asked me to go away
with him because he loved me, and I am
not going to turn on him. If they think I
am going to help to send him to prison
they are mistaken. Yes. I loved him."
URGES SCHOOL FIRE ALARMS
City Flertrlclon Mlchnelsen Warns
of Conditions Now Ex
isting. In a letter to be read at the meeting
of the Board of Education. Monday night.
City Electrician Waldemar Michaelsen
recommends the Installation of a system
of electrical fire alarms In all of the
non-fireproof school buildings of the city.
Since recent fatal fi'es In the schools
of several cities, systems have been In
vented which automatically turn an alarm
In to the fire stations, and fit the same
lim sound gongs throughout the school
houses. These gongs may be disconnected
from the contral system temporarily, and
used for the purposes of fire drills In the
buildings.
"Fire alarm boxes of any sort an not
numerous In Omaha, the alarms usually
being sent In by telephone," said Michael
sen, "but with the exception of the high
school, none of the schools are equipped
with telephones, and in case of fire It la
necessary to run to a private residence to
give the alarm. . One of these systems I
am advocating, would undoubtedly afford
a much needed protection to pupils and
buildings alike, a protection which is now
lacking In many of the schools, either
entirely or In part."
