This morning rr. H. B. Cummins, the eleetU meipfter of the board, sent a letter to If.

Fix or eight Lincoln men responded to an anonymous Invjtattpn to ba present at a meeting-to lx held' at the Young Men's Christian association this noon to discuss ihe propriety of tha appointment of James lelehanty as warden of the penitentiary. No other action was taken by those present than to tqrm an organization to Investigate the charges against tha newly appointed warden, to ask men who have first knowl edge of his fitness or unfitness for the plaoa to . testify before tha organization, that It might b able to lay Its findings befora the ovrnor, thereby either proving tha rumors on' Mr. Delehanty or exoner ating him. A. committee of four tvs named to aea If first hand, testimony could be se cured, which committee will call a second meeting when it has 'secured more tangible evidence. '.''' Those present were: J. Q. Cordner, for years a teacher In the prison Sunday school; C. T. Powers, for many years the superintendent of the prison Sunday school; C. C. Flansburg, the present superintendent of this school; J. B. Ferguson, Dr. George K. Howard. O. 'A -Chapman, R. C. Ozman, Mr. Hyde, Frank A. Harrison, and for a few moments. Rev. A. L. Weatherly. Mr. Cordner announced that he had sent out the Invitations, but since he found that thoae to whom the requests for attendance were sent were not Ukely to appear unless the circular bore a signature, he whined that he had signed his name, that he had nothing to conceal. He stated that he had no first-hand evidence against the gov ernor's selection! that Mr. Delehanty had always treated him all right, but that dur lng his long '-Service 'as a Sunday school worker durlnlr the time the appointed warden served In less authoritative posi tions he had heard persistent rumors as to his conduct. The) Cm Aaratnat Him. He charged that Mr, Delehanty was not In sympathy, with the idea that a peniten tiary Is a reformatory and that he Is not pleased with religious services for the con vlcts. Other and far more serious charges were made by other men present, but none of these was from first hand evidence. It was declared a known fact that Governor Shallenberger had retained the deputy warden, Mr. Delehanty, at the request of 'Warden Smith and that he had removed him also at- the request of the warden. who had avsked this action of the governor because of speclflo objections he had to hla services.

It was stated at the meeting that the at tentloa .the governor-elect - had ben oalled to,, toe, objections against Delehanty an dthat tie, was possessed of full second hand Information. The next move, it was thought, was either to give the appointee a clean bill of health or to substantiate the rumors which, have been sent to Mr. Urlch.
