tteiapJt-of'pr. farr of the State Hoard of
TTeattr! erTarlea to censor the report of
the examiners and itlve out what he de
sir about the conditions they found In
ths madlral colleges of the state, Is raising
a rumpus that promises to assume con
siderable proportions.
This morning rr. H. B. Cummins, the
eleetU meipfter of the board, sent a letter
to If. Carr' In which he dpmanded that
he cause to be published a full report In
full, on th irround that that which he
did not glva out was Indirect and Incom
plete.
Cart la a homeopath and the other two
members' are allopaths, and the report
Monks' slightingly of the eclectic school In
this city. Naturally the eclectics don't llks
It and they Say that not only did the ex
aminers not make such an Investigation
as would be worth anything, but that the
secretaries agreed that a hearing should
ba grVfitted all. colleges before the report
was (Ivan out. for publication.
Dr. Cummins proposes to follow up his
dsmand by giving a thorough ventilation
of the whole affair, Including all of the
facta connected with the Investigation, and
how the examiners arrived at their con
clusions. It lalfUlmated that before the
trouble Is ended It will be shown that the
visits of thr axamlaers to at least two of
tha colleges covered an extremely limited
period 'of Jtlrns,

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

from Johnson county, was
to have been present at the meeting with
faota observed by him during his service.

It was stated at the meeting that the at

oalled to,, toe, objections against Delehanty

thought, was either to give the appointee

CHIHUAHUA, Mexico, Dee. 19 (Via El
Paso, Tex., Dec. 20.) It was learned today
that General Navarro failed to capture
Malpaso, despite previous reports from
Mexico City to that effect. Losses on both
sides during the two days' fighting are
reported to have been heavy.
The troop train which left here Saturday
night with soldiers Is said to have failed
to form the proposed Juncture with Na
varro. The train is said to have been
fired upon and many government troops
killed and wounded. It was reported to
night that sixty wounded would be brought
to this city. The train was fired on near
San Andres and returned to Bustlllos,
where the engine is reported to have run
out of water, with none near to replenish
the supply. The troop train which was to
have been taken out of here today by Ad
jutant Smith, an American, did not start.
The passenger train which was held up
near La Junta last Thursday has not been
heard from. Generol Navarro encountered
the Insurrectos at Pedernales and Mal
paso !ast Thursday, and by ntfchlfH'l
seemed to have the fight won. He has
since reported that the Insurgents brought
In reinforcements In swarms and estimated
them o number as high as I.0"0 on Friday.
