A COMMISSION APPOINTED.

The Commission appointed by Gov.

managers OF the Elmira Reformatory

OF the Commissioners Is concerned.
Judge Learned. OF Albany. is a distin-
guished turist Mr. Deyo, OF Bingham

a man OF broad humanity and generous
impulses. who would be the last to
tolerate such brutalities ns Brockway
is already convicted OF practising on the
wretched victims OF his tyranny and
inhumanity.
But the present inquiry is into the
conduct OF the managers. and 1t would
shorten the labors OF the Commission If
II should accept the investigation and
decision OF the State Board of Charities
as to Brockway's guilt as final and con-
fine its own task to proving how far
the managers have been responsible for
his brutalities and disregard of law.
The Governor has made another re

he shall expect" them to suspend
Brockway pending the trial. The man.

be excluded from the institution and his
successor ought to be man approved
