SLIGHT BALM FOR HIS FE, (From a Staff Correspondeti" LINCOLN, March 4. (Special Telegram.) The temporary suspen sion of Superintendent W. T. Gut tery of Norfolk State insane asylum was made permanent In the findings of the State Board of Control given out late this afternoon. The board In some Instances finds in favor of Dr. Guttery and In others aKalnst him. It finds that he had given orders and that attondiints had been Instructed to be kind nd humane in their treatment of patients and were forbidden to practice cruelty upon them and that his orders nad been carried out jrcncrnlly: that ho was not. negligent In handling tho small pox epidemic, but might have been more efllclent ; obsceno language was not used about the house and the personality of the doctor was not Immoral. However, the board decides that the su perintendent subjected himself to criticism by lnjudtcoi.s familiarities with female attendants and did not use irood Judg ment in explaining certain things In elapses of a mixed kind. r-hat ho retained in the service Immoral attendants, though his Intentions were not had In doing so; that he used partiality In promotions and Ignored department hends In d aline with subordinates, which tended to promote discord and Impair discipline In the in stitution. The boar therefore is "constrained to find fliat in these respects Dr. AV. I). Guttery has been Inefficient and incom petent and that the best interests of the state require that the suspension hereto fore ordered be made permanent."

If the country expects to maintain these policies It must have a navy sufficiently lartre to enforce them, he said. "Our Monroe doctrine Is in conflict with the colonial policy of the German empire,"- Mr. Wood said, "as may ba. easily verified 1 by perusal of the - words of German economists.

Frederick W. Huidekoper of Washing ton, D. C, said that American histor'es were full of untruths and that, in fact. this country has conducted Its wars in a disgraceful manner. A letter from Samuel Gompers. presi dent of the American Federation of Labor, was read at the conference today by Robert Bacon, former secretary of state. The letier was read as outlining; the at titude of organised labor toward national defense and military preparedness. The letter protested against' the use of or ganized militia to break strikes.

Capture of Bitlis ' Opens the Way to Bagdad for Slavs ' --, - -'" 1 : . ..... rirrrtOGRAD. March 4. (Via London.) For the second time In a trifle over a fortnight the Russians have broken through the Turkish front. The Import ance of the taking of Bltlls. officially announced last night, in the opinion of Russian military authorities Is twofold, inasmuch as it increases the security of the Russian left flank In the Cacauslan operations and also further opens the way to Bagdad and a junction with the British forces. From Bitiii to Bagdad Is a distance of slightly mere than 4T0 miles. The Turks were rushing relnforoementg from Mesopotamia, not only for the de fense of Bitlis. but to aid the Turkish troops retreating from Erzerum. These troop wilt now be forced to take a roundabout route to reach, the defeated Turkish third army. BltlU also served the Turks as a point of communication between the troops operating In the Mush district and those about Lake Urumlah, over the border In Persia. With the command of the whole Lake Van territory In their hands, the Russians now effectually separate these forces. Bitlis Is not a fortress, but its location gave it a strong defense advantage. Russlsn observers estimate the strength of .the Turk opposing them in the Bltlls district as two divisions of Infantry and artillery, wtlh a strong mixture of Ger man troops.

Wilson Victory in Senate is Liked by British Press tONDON. March 4 Few things short of ao actual military victory could have given the British press greater satisfac tion than President Wilson's victory in the senate. The Manchester Guardian remarks edi torially that Germany, having failed to convince the United Ptates, apparently will Ignore sentiment In that country, it continues: "Germany has now defiantly assumed the line that It Is within lis rights and means to abide by the circumstances. If American citizens lose their lives It will make no apology or promise of amend ment." The Guardian says It cannot lmane that Americans will accept "such a re version to absolute barbarism," and therefore regards the decision of the senate as having the greatest signi ficance.

March 4. -Majority Leader Kltchln soon after noon began notifying members that they would not ho needed to voto until next Tuesday at the earliest. William Jennings Bryan came to town today to fulfill a lecture en gagement her tonight. Adminis tration leaders speculated widely over whether Mr. Bryan's coming had anything to do with the delay on voting on the armed ship Issue in the house and the decision of the leaders there to postpone artlon until Tuea- day at least. t Mr. Bryan said his coming here at this time had nothing to do with the armed ship fight now in progress be tween congress and the president. "I expect to leave tonight for New York. My lecture was arranged four weeks ago. I have no engagements to see any congressmen and do not expect to see any." WASHINGTON, March 4. -The houss rules committee, after being In session nearly all day. adjourned to 10 o'clock Monday morning without taking action. News of Mr. Bryan's sr rival hers caused a flurry on ths house floor. Representa tive Bailey, democrat, his close friend, met him, and Bailey aald they discussed the warning resolution. While Mr. Bailey Insisted thst Mr. Bryan would take no active part In ths fight, administration leaders ssw In his presence cause for concern.

Majority leader Kltchln and othars . who are generally classed ss Bryan deCnocrats Insisted they had not heard from Mr. Brysn and had nut known he was In town. , Administration leaders expressed con fidence thst no influence that Mr. Bryan might bring to bear would defeat tho president's determination. Mr. Bailey said he assured Mr. Bryan thst at heart there was an overwhelm big majority In congress favorable to the. warning resolution, but that he made no prediction as to what the vote would be. "Mr. Bryan is interested Just as is any other cltlsen in the McLemore reso lution." he said, "but he certainly will not come to the napltol and make a per sonal fight on It. Ills attitude toward the senats action yesterday wss one of amusement. He referred to it laugh ingly. He certainly did not consider it a victory for those who are opposing warning passengers against boarding armed ships." Chairman Flood said: ' "He can't beat the tabling of this reso lution if he tries." Mr. Bryan Is to address ths Kconomto club of Washington tonight on "What Definite Steps Can the United States Take Toward Insuring a Permanent l'eoce."
