LINCOLN, Nov, 3.—(Special)—The scan- @al at the asylum n which Felix Newton, the deposed bookkesper, has made Dr Woodard, the superintendent, the central figure, reached a half way climax today when Newton filed charges against Dr Woodard, ghe superintendent, with the Board of Public Lands and Bulldings. The board will later set & date for a hearing. The charges are as follews: “To the oBard of Public Lands and Build- ings: Comes now Felix Newton, a eitizen of the state ot Nebraska, and complains of Dr. D, 8. Woodard, superintendent of the N ¢ aska Hospital for the Insane, for the following reasons: “First. Cruelty to patlents. “Second. Embezzlement. “Third, Incompetency in general manage- ment. “First Complaint—Complainant alleges that Dr, Woodard was advised of the vio- lation of Section 10082, Cobbey's Statutes of Nebraska, by an employe and the sald employe Is stiil In the employ of the state st sald hospital. Second Complaint—Money charged to zana Porter, Gus Larson and others taken by Dr, Woodard and not returned to the | state or credited o the state in the cash book of sald imstitution. And money pald to Df. Woodard for the state of Nebraska and not turned over by him to the state. “Third Complaint—Allowing employes to violate section 10124 and section 10082 of Cobbey's statutes of Nebraska. Allowing immorality to exist at the sald Institution during the administration of sald Dr. ‘Woodard. “Your complalnant further states that all of the allegations herein set forth can ba proved by competent witnesses who can be produced to prove said allegations when- ever your honorable 'body finds it con- venlent to hear them. “FELIX NEWTO! The sections mentioned in the complaint Telate to cruelty to inmates of the asy- lum and correspondence of the inmates. Newton claims employes were cruel to in- mates and so destroyed mall which in- mates had written instead of posting it. After Crabtree’s Sealp. The coming meeting of the State Normal board December 3 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 school, Which was inspected last week. Whether the question of & successor to Buperintendent J. W. Crabtree will be taken up at this meeting the members of the board in Lincoln are not yet ready to say. The bosrd members have been for a long time' endeavoring to keep politics out of the board and for that reason there is some feeling against Principal Crabtree, s the board members say he assisted in i thve passage of e normal board bill which has just been declared void by the supreme court. This bill legislated out of existence the ©ld normal board and gave the governor authority to appoint a new board, which he Aid. The only other change from the ©old law was placing the junier normal schools under the control of the normal board Instead of the state superintendent. Naturally the beard in power at the time the law was enacted felt that function was to put that board off watch and authorize Governor Shellenberger ta appoint a democratio board, or one to his own lking. It waB also charged that Principal Crab- trees was unduly interested in the decision ®f the court In the normal board case, and because of these things the ffiction between him end 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 wature.

Man 1s Buried _in Cave-in for An Hour, but Lives Dennis Todd, Laborer at " South Omaha, Has Narrow Escape While at Work. Dennis Todd, a colored laborer, residing at 2646 Y 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 ill effects from his imprison- ment. The eewer 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 fect of dirt, but his head had but a foot or 8o 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 assurance |and comfort.
