Report of the Coldwater School Investi-

Special TO the TELEGRaN-HERALD:
LANSING, Feb. 1.-THE alleged re-
port of the committee appointed to in
vestigate the Coldwater Public School,
published in the Detroit News, has
never been adopted by the committee.
At a meeting of the committee held
this afternoon no conclusion was
reached and the committee adjourned
without action until O'Clock tomorrow
afternoon. Chairman Sharp and Sena-
tor Mines each submitted draft OF a
report, but neither was accepted by the
committee. The purported report in
the News represents the opinion of
only four out of ten of the committte
men. No such report will be sanctioned
and the members are highly indignant
at the chairman giving out such a re-
port without authority and submitting
1t to the Governor. He Will be called
TO account at tomorrow's meeting.
