resignation of Frank J. Griffith, gener-
al passenger traffic manager. To get
a controlling interest. Mr.. Sloan will
have to corral for himself or his friends
10000 more shares of stock, 1t is said.
I'm talking to several of the dis
charged officials Mr.. Sloan showed
much feeling and declared he would
do all in his power as long as life last
ed to right their wrongs. He intimat-
ed that he was not pleased with the
action of the management in turning
off faithful men to put its friends in
power at increased salaries, at the
same time pinching trainmen and 9TH
er employees with new systems of eco
nomy. The salary paid to Mr.. Sloan
was 100000 a year. His successor,
William II. Truesdale, gets $4,000.

Lackawanna Improvements.

Traffic Manager Caldwell, of the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
railroad, in company with General Su-
perintendent Russell of the same
company, have been making a tour of
the company's property and in due
due course of time q number of i'm
provements are to be made in and
around the Pocono mountains. The
resorts in these mountains have fa-
vorably impressed the new manage
ment and it is thought that with a ju
dicious expenditure of money and lib
eral advertising the natural beauty of
these mountains will become better
known and win in a measure rival the
Adirondacks. The Pocono mountains
are easier of access and a journey
from Philadelphia or New York can
be made in a short time, as compared
with the trip to the northern part OF
New York.
T. w. Lee, the new general passcn-
ger agent of the Delaware, LaCka-
wanna and Western Railroad COM
pany, has assumed the duties Of that
office, Mr.. Lee was formerly assistant
to Chairman B. ID. Caldwell, of the
Western Passenger association. Mr..
Lee brought with him George w. Hay
lor who was formerly district passen-
ger agent of the Chicago, Hamilton
and Dayton and "Monon' lines. 1t is
said the new officers are awakening to
the needs of modern road, and with
in a short time there is to be an auto
mobile carriage service at all of its
principal depots and ferries. Mr.. Cald-
well has also adopted a new trade
mark. a black background with the
words "Lackawanna Railroad" in
white printed on it. This mark is to
be placed on all the freight cars and
stationery, and the feasibility of hav-
ing it placed on the passenger coaches
is being ssed.-Philadelphi Press.

Trenton, n. j., Aug. 3.-The investi-
cation into the charges of cruelty and
mismanagement at the State Indus
trial School for Girls ended today.
Governor Voorhees, began the investi-

of cruelty having been made by some
Of the members of the board Of man.
ayers, who sought to bring about the
removal of Mrs. Eyler, the principal of
the school
A number of witnesses have been ex-
amined by the governor Several of
these witnesses detailed instances of
what they considered cruel treatment
of the girl inmates of the school.
The investigation closed today with
the testimony of Mrs. Eyler in her own
defense. She made general denial of
at any time being cruel. She denied
| absolutely having struck any girl in
the face, or having pulled any girls
hair, or having strapped any. She said
that there were a few girls in the
| school who were very bad, and that
when they became unruly they could
only be subdued by being placed in
dungeon until they expressed penitence
The girls were always released just as

| sented the members of the board op-

When Mrs. Eyler had finished the
| governor announced that the investi-
cation was over with the exception of
receiving some dispositions which Mr..
| BaCkes had promised to secure. The
| lawyer said he would prefer to have
the remaining witnesses called in per-
son instead of having their aflidavits
| taken. He asked for another day to
| be set to finish up the investigation,
| but the governor insisted that the
depositions would do just as well. The
dispositions are to he secured from Mrs.
| Fairland and others who were former

made statements Criticizing Mrs. Ey-
lers methods
AS soon as these depositions are re-
ceived the governor will consider the
matter and announce the conclusion.
