Poor orol Insufficient food, batter un
it for use. cruel treatment from former
Superintendent J. S. Thompson, cruel
treatment from other* connected with
the home, and Immorality on the part
o> the former stewardess, Mre. Belle
Reid, were the principal allegations
brought out Tuesday morning by the
legislative Investigating committee at
the HoMler.V Home.
Indications point to a prolonged In
vestigation, perhaps running through
the week. The committee evidences a
desire to probe to the bottom of things
and let It strike where It may. Dr.
Amos Fox, treasurer of the home, and
against whom charges have been pre
ferred. was present throughout the
"'judge Walter T. Colquitt conducted
the examination of witnesses for the
petitioners, and Judge Freeman, of
lVe-t Point, for the home. The com
mittee adjourned at 12:50 Tuesday af
ternoon until 8 o’clock Wednesday
morning.
Investigation Opens.
When Chairman Adams called the
committee to order Tuesday morning
it 9 o'clock. Senator Blalock and Rep
resentatives Williams, Mllllkln. Long-
1,-. Knight and Rudlcll were present.
Vpon Inquiry It was stated that Sena
tor \V. C. Bunn was detained In Cedar-
town by the serious illness of his child.
After some discussion ns to the
method of procedure, Hugh Colquitt
made 'he following statement:
"Spei.flcatlons are set out In the
petition presented to the legislature
that the fond and clothing are bad and
the hospital service Inadequate. We
should summons the soldiers here to
testify, ns It Is their complaint. Some
witnesses will have to be summoned,

"Xo charge of criminal conduct Is
being made against any one. But the
trustees, most of whom live at a dis
tance, pay little attention to the Insti
tution, and the Investigating commit
tees have done little. I make the point
that no fair and open committee has
ever existed here before which the old
soldiers could appear for a fair hear
ing.
Met Behind Barred Doors.
•'.Meetings have been foeld here be
hind barred doors, with sentinels at the
door. Witnesses have been bulldoxed
and we can prove It. At hearings
here people preferring charges have
been debarred from the meetings, while
the accused were permitted to remain
inside. Once when\ the vice president
was called away one of the accused
presided over the meeting."
At this stage Representative Wil
liams moved that the meeting adjourn
to the chapel, where the old soldiers
might hear alt that was done. The
move was made.
As several members of the board of
trustees were present. Chairman H. W.
Bell, of Jefferson, named Judge J. H.
freeman, of West Point, to appear for
the home. Discussion continued as to
whether the charges Investigated were
t> be confined to those made In the pe
tition.
Charges Against Stewardess.
Representative Mltikln arose and
■aid:
' Verbal charges have been made of a
nr more serious nature than any In
the petition. One Is that the former
stewardess was of known Immoral
character, and. It Is said, she Is now

J. J. Forrestcr wa* next called. Ho
said he Was 83 years of age and had
been In tho home four years. Treat
ment of the soldiers had been good up
to a year ago last January.
At that time the food began to get
poor and had been up to a few weeks
ago. He said lie bought hla own milk,
butter and eggs, because he could net
get them In the home.
"They said the butter cost 35 cents
a pound, but 1 could pot eat It."
He said lie made no complaints
about the food, because he had heard
the threats and Insinuations of Cap-
lain Thompson and Mrs. Reid. It ex
isted also through the administration
of Captain Bowie.
D. D. Ware was called next. He said
he was 81 year* of age, and had been

cators In the state.

of the men. In the main, was kindly.
"It was variable In quality and quan
tity. however."
Captain Thompson’s treatment was
very bad. His language was foul, and
his bearing tyrannical. The character
of the food was bad and frequently
Insufficient In quantity. Mrs. Reid, he
said was rough to the men, and that
her ’character was bad.
As to the character of the food, he
said It hod been very much better since
August 1. His testimony as to the but
ter was similar to the other witnesses.

Resolution or Fusion.
After an all night session In the Gil
rey house, the state corftmlttees by
vote, pf 140 In 8, adopted a.resolution
referring the proposition of fusion
with the Democratic party made by
William J. Connors, of Buffalo, to the
league convention today with a recom
mendation that It be submitted to the
committee of resolutions when ap
proved.
The adoption of the resolutions mean
that the Independence League conven
tion will nominate a straight ticket and
appoint a committee to confer with a
similar committee representing the
Democratic state convention looking
townrd fusion.
After listening to the argument of
the state committee pro and con on the
Connors proposition, Mr. Henrst said
Opposes Proposition,
am opposed, of course, to this
proposition. If the Democratic party
had completed Ita primaries and se
lected msn who represented the rank
and file and not the Brynn-Belmont
Interests and had assembled In con
vention and declared for principles
Identical with ours and had wished to
unite with us and combine against n
united opposition, I think we would bo
unwise to refuso to consider an honest
proposition.

Havana, Cuba, Sept. 11.—Later ad
vices from the fighting about Consola-
clon del Sur leave no doubt that the
government has gained an Important
victory over Pino Guerra, largely
through the use of American machine
guns. While the rebels still outnumber
Avaloes's force, the better discipline
and arms and the presence of the ma
chine guns, more than make up for
the differences In number. .
The result of the fight undoubtedly
has led President Paima to take the
stand he has In practically proclaim
ing martial law, withdrawing the offer
of amnesty to tho rebels In the field
who laid down their arms. This means
the pursuit of an organized policy of
repression and arrests already have
begun.
Former Mayor Arrested.
Dr. O'Farrlll, former mayor of Ha
vana, has been taken Into custody. He
was arrested last night, while he was
attending a gathering of Cuban veter
ans, charged with being a member of
revolutionary Junta.
Peace negotiations have failed. Gen
era! Afenocal, who undertook to per
suade the rebels to lay down their
arms, found that the Insurgents were
disposed to fight the government to the
end. This reply to his overtures has
provoked a similar attitude on the part
of the government, and It appoarH that
both sides are now lined up for a con
flict even more bitter and desperate
than those heretofore promised tq be.
