Pittsburg, Pa, Oct. 30.-The official
investigation into the charges of mis-
management and immortality in the
conduct of the affairs of the Anti-Cruel-
ty society was begun today in room
in the county court house.
Francis ]. Terrence, commissioner of
the state board of charities, conducted
the investigation. The chief incidents
of the opening session We're the testl-
mony Of DR.. j. o. Flower, the prose-
cutting witness, and n. L. Dorente, the
suspenled secretary Of the society. The
latter contradicted almost every point
indicated in the evidence of DR.. Flower.
The numerous troubles originated re-
Gently with the selection of DR.. Flower
as executive chairman. DR.. Flowers $
ideas, which he insisted upon intro
ducing, were not in perfect accord with
those Of Mr. Dorente and Miss Lizzie

had almost the entire management or

nue. This difficulty eliminated recent

sensational developments, II nothing
more, are expected.
This morning DR.. Flower swore that
he saw Dorente and Miss McMlIlan IN
a. room at the hCgne under peculiar cir
cumstances. The girl promises to re-
veal certain matters that, II Is limited,
will cause certain officials OF the society
no little annoyance in explaining.
At the afternoon session. Dorente
testified that Miss Mcmillan first came
to the home as a patrol prisoner from
the reform school. She remained there
for some time when place was secured
for her in a family. About five months
later the young woman returned to the
home again, this time In delicate con-
dition. She remained there for hVe
months until her child was born. Do
rente said he occupied a room adJoin-
ing Miss McMillan's when he remained
at the society headquarters over night.
DR.. Flower was recalled and said that
in March, 1894, he went to the home ana
found Dorente and Miss Mcmillan TO-
gether In a room, the door being locked.
=. l.. KOuntZ, who was a special agent

CRASH On 'CHANGE.

Take n Tumble from Dizzy Heights.


Philadelphia, Oct. 3O.-Visitors to the

a. crash in the stock market. 1t was

age ranging from S. to $50 per share in
certain of these stocks was witnessed.
Yesterdays developments in the stock
market when the first sign of weakness
in these securities became apparent had
sounded note of warning. but not even
the most experienced broker was pre-
pared to witness such crash as that OF
today. At the opening the common
stock of the Electric Storage Battery
company had sold at 66A, but before
noon 1t had fallen to As, and at the
same time the preferred stock had
broken from 6Sia to 55. The United
Gas Improvement company stock
dropped from S72 to So and that of the
Welshback Light company from "a to
S7ls, while the Rights to subscribe
to the shares of the newly-organized
Pennsylvania Heat Light and Power
company deprecated from 1913 to II.

pTectueu Il second break, WHICH, ny L
o'clock, had carried electric storage
common down to A. the preferred to 40
and Welshback light to So, while the
other stocks held a little firmer.
The fall in prices was really inaug-
urated on Oct. 81 for it was then that
the Electric Storage battery stocks
reached their highest level. 1t was but
a day or two later that the other secur-
tiles involved sold for the highest prices
on record, but prior to today the de-
cline had been gradual and unimpor-
tant. In less than ten days the Stor-
age battery stock has declined nearly

latter this Is q shrinkage of nearly

interested In maintaining the prices of
these stocks came ito the rescue with

ensued, Electric Storage common ris-
