industrial Commission About Ready 60
Begin IN Active Investigation.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 10.-The industrial
commission has been engaged as body
during the entire past week in perfect
Ing plans of proceeding with the work
before it which have been prepared by
the various subcommittee appointed
on the questions in hand. These plans
cover the four important branches Of
the work, agriculture, mining, manu-
features and transportation, and the
subcommittee have all completed
their work so far as they are able SO to
DO. 1t was naturally found upon COM
parison that some Of these plans over
Tapped and q general subcommittee, con-
! sisting of a representative of each division
was appointed to revise the various
syllabi to harmonize the several plans
and to prevent duplication. This COM
mittee consists of Mr.. Harris of Ohio,
agricultural division; Mr.. North, of
manufacturers; Mr.. Ratchford of min
/ ing, and Mr.. Phillips, Of transportation.
When this work is completed and the
full commission shall have fully adopted
the work of it's b-colnmittee the sub
divisions will take up their assignment
in earnest. They expect first to consult
such documentary evidence as is to be
had in Washington, and will then take
such testimony from individuals as may
be considered necessary to throw light
upon the general question of inquiry
the relation of capital and labor.

DR.. ZERTUCHA GUlLTLESS
Now Denied That He betrayed General
MnceO in A. Way.

Now Denied Tint He betrayed General
Mnceo i" 4, Y Way.
New YORK, Dec. 1O.-A special from
Havana says: DR.. Zertucha came into
unenviablc notoriety at the time Maceo
was killed. when it was charged that,
acting as Maceo's physician, he betrayed
him into ambush, where he died en-
deavoring to cut his way ont. Zertucha
was said to have received $50, 900 for
this infamous act Of treason. Friends
Of the doctor, however, stood stead
lastly by him, asserting he never had
my idea of of betraying the insurgent
cause. Not long ago, he requested an
official inquiry into his conduct, which
was ordered by General Mayi Rod
riguez.
The report just made by Alexandra
Rodriguez, president of the board of in
quiry, completely exonerates Zertucha.
The report touches upon Zertucha'sserv-
ices as surgeon, and his having ex-
posed himself to great danger in so en-
gagements. He was with Maceo when
the latter was killed and made death
certificate before his interlnent, and
then deserted, fearing the enmity of
several Cuban leaders. But even out of
the army continued in many ways to as
sist the cause Of the insurgents, proof Of
which has been furnished by many.
Last May he again joined the forces in
the field, where he acted as chief sur
geon. and again fought bravely in sew
eral battles. The report concludes by
giving him clear certificate Of charac-
tel and patriotism.
