LINCOLN, Nov. . (Ppeclnl.l-The scan
dal at the asylum In which F. llx Newton,
the deponed bookkeeper, has made Ir.
Vnodard. the superintendent, the centra!
figure, reached a half way climax today
when Newton filed charcos against Ir.
Woodard, the superintendent, with the
Hoard of Public Lands and Buildings. The
board will later not a date for a hearing.
The charges are as follews:
"To the oBard of Public Lands and Build
ings: Comes now Felix Newton., a citizen
of the state of Nebraska, and complains
of Tr. l. B. Woodard, superintendent of
the N f Afka Hospital for the Insane, for
the following reasons:
'First. Cruelty to patients.
"Scond. Embezzlement.
"Third. Incompetency In general manage
ment "First Complaint Complainant alleges
that Dr. Woodard was advised of the vio
lation of Section 100&2. Cobbey'a Statutes
of Nebraska, by an employe and the said
employe is still in tbe employ of the state
at said hospital.
"Second Complaint Money charged to
Kdna Porter, Gus Larson and others taken
by Dr. Woodard and not returned to the
late or credited to the state In the canh
book of raid Institution. And money paid
to Vt. Woodard for tbe state of Nebraska
and not turned over by him to the state.
"Third Complaint Allowing employes to
violate section 10124 and section 1WS2 of
Cobbey'a statutes of Nebraska. Allowing
Immorality to exist at the said Institution
during the administration of said Dr.
Woodard.
"Your complainant further states that
all of the allegation! herein set forth can
be proved by competent witnesses who can
be produced to prove said allegations when
ever your honorable ' body finds It con
venient to hear them.
"FPLIX NEWTON."
The sections mentioned in the complaint
' relate to cruelty to inmates of the asy
lum and correspondence of the Inmates.
Newton claims employes were cruel to In
mates and also destroyed mall which In
mates had written instead of posting It.
After Crabtree's Scalp.
The coming meeting of the State Normal
board December . promises to be of un
usual Interest, for at that meeting steps
will be taken toward a final location of
the new state normal school In accordance
with the decision of the attorney general,
and also the board will again take up the
purchase of the Wayne Normal achool,
which was Inspected last week.
Whether the question of a auccessor to
(Superintendent J. W. Crabtree will be taken
up at this meeting the members of the
board In Lincoln are not yet ready to aay.
Tbe board members have been for a long
time endeavoring to keep politics out of
the board and for that reason there la
soma feeling against Principal Crabtree.
i as use board members aay he assisted in
i rmr passage or trre normal board bill which
has Just been declared void by the supreme
court.
- This bill legislated out of existence the
Old normal board and gave the governor
' authority to appoint a new board, which
, he did. The only other change from the
old law was placing the Junior normal
schools under the oontrol of the normal
board Instead of the state superintendent.
Naturally the beard In power at the time
the law was enacted felt that Its chief
function was to put that board oft watch
and authorise Oovernor Bhellenberger to
appoint a democratlo board, or one to bis
wn liking.
It was" also charged that Principal Crab
trees was unduly Interested In the decision
of the court In the normal board case, and
because of these things the friction between
him and the members of the board may
result In the selection of a new superin
tendent, though recent acts of Prof. Crab
tree have been decidedly of a conciliatory
atura.

Auditor Goes
After Agents
Notices Served Upon Them to Appear
at Lincoln and Explain Their
Method of Business.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Nov. 24 Sperlal.) State Aud
itor Barton has summoned a number of
Insurance agents to appear before him
Monday jnorrilng to show cause why their
licenses should not he revoked and the
hearing promises to be the most sensa
tional of Its kind ever heard in the state.
The auditor has on hand a collection
of affidavits showing that certain Insur
ance agents have filched unsuspecting peo
p'e out of money ranging In amounts from
$100 up to 1.000 and more.
According to the affidavits a gang of
Insurance agents doing business In south
east Nebraska has secured large sums of
money by representing to the persons they
were seeking to Insure that they would
make them large loans providing they
would take a policy. Instead of signing
an application for a loan the Innocent
party discovered later that he had'slgned
a note. Others were Induced to take out
large Insurance policies by the agents
promising them to make them large loans.
The affidavits show that no logns were
made. In one Instance a farmer lost his
payment to bind a bargaki because de
depended upon one of the agents to raise
him money. Instead he found he had a
note to pay at the bank. In the buncTi
stuck was a widow and many poor peop
who are In debt.
The following agents have been cited to
appear before the auditor next Monday: E.
C. Woddell, J. W. Hawk. II. II. Pierce. H.
D. Cotton. Elmer Orr, J. T. Akers, J. B.
Spees and F M. Douglas
After the agents have told their side of
the story then the auditor probably will go
after the company, should the cases turn
out as bad as the affidavits Indicate.
Following Is a copy of the notice served
on the agents:
"Information has been filed to the effect
that your acts as a life Insurance agent
and the methods used by you in procuring
business have beer contrary to law and the
rulings of this department.
"You are hereby commanded to appear
before Silas R. Barton, auditor of public
accounts, at Lincoln, Neb., at 10 o'clock a.
m., on Monday, November 29, 1909, to show
cause why your license or certificate at
authority as a life Insurance agent should
not be cancelled or revoked.

my hand and -attached the seal of this
department on the date first above writ

and former President Rafael Igleslas and
his following have aided the Nicaraguan
revolutionists.
This Information came from a high of
ficial of Nicaragua, who said this aid had
been stopped through the petitions of the
charge d'affaires of Nicaragua, at the
Costa Rica capital, backed by Rlcardo
Jlmlnez, a Costa Rican presidential nom
inee, and his party.
The representations of the Nicaraguan
charge are said to have caused the con
centration of forty-three soldiers cap
tured from the rebel army at La Collsado.
These prisoners were to be taken to Ban
Jose, but were rescued and set free by
their companions In the rebel army.
Knox Awaiting News.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 24. Developments
In the Nicaraguan situation today were
awaiting detailed Information from Man
agua. The vice consul at that capital, Mr.
Caledra, presumably Is working on the
case, but the State department has heard
nothing from him.
The department appreciates the fact that
the vice consul Is laboring at great disad
vantage and believes It more than likely
that every obstacle In the way of obtaining
exact Information of the circumstances
connected with the arrst and execution of
the two Americans is being put in his way.
The department Is especially anxious to
obtain full Information as to the status
of the Americans at the time of their ar-
1 rest, as to whether or not they were co
operating with the revolutionists' army.
The officials are proceeding with deliber
ation, and It may be a day or two before
anything definite Is received on which the
department could act.
A dispatch today announced the depart
ure of the Tacoma from Cristobal for Port
Llmon, Costa Rica. The Marietta Is on
Its way. from Guantanamo to Port Llmon.
It is said by the naval authorities these
vessels are going to Coeta Rica for sur
veying purposes.

Dennis Todd, Laborer at South
Omaha, Has Narrow Escape
, While at Work.
Dennis Todd, a colored laborer, residing
at 2645 T street. South Omaha, was burled
alive for upwards of an hour when a
sewer at Twelfth and Bancroft streets. In
which-he was working, caved In, a ton or
more of rocks and dirt covering his entire
body. The man was finally rescued and
will suffer no 111 effects from his Imprison
ment. The sewer in which Todd was at work is
being dug along Bancroft street. At the
point where Todd was at work the depth
was but six feet, but the man was In a
crouching position, engaged in shoveling
dirt from the bottom, when, without warn
ing, one side of the excavation caved in,
completely covering Todd.
Todd's body was covered with from four
to five feet of dirt, but his head had but
a foot or so of covering. Through some
mistake the men who rushed to the rescue
started working at the wrong end and the
result was that Todd's feet were uncov
ered some time before his head. The
ground which had caved In was partially
frozen, being in the nature of a crust, and
all the while the rescue was in progress
Todd was able to converse with his fellow
workmen, who gave words of assuranoe
and comfort.
For a time It was thought Todd would be
suffocated, as his voice became weaker
and weaker, but he was finally brought to
air and revived. Dr. McCrann of South
Omaha was summoned and attended him.
The physician was unable to find any
external evidences of Injury, although Todd
complained he was badly hurt. He was
able to go to his home in 8outh Omaha,

NEW YORK. Nov. 24 "There is no pos

for the terrible conditions in the Congo.
His own commission corroborated the
stories of atrocities. The Congo now Is all
under Leopold, for although divided up and
apportioned among companies, Leopold re- j
talr.s more than 60 per cent of the stock
of each. One of these Is an American
company."
