Especial Correspondence


Columbus, O., June 26.-The inves-
tigaton Of the manner and method Of
nflicting punishment at the Girls
Industrial Home assumed rather SEN
sational appearances late Wednesday
afternoon. Both Doctors Rutter and
Baldwin, physicians of some note tes-
titled to the committee Of the Board
of State Charities that the death Of
Nora Ferris fwas undoubtedly due to
the punishment to which she had been
subjected In the straight Jacket.
The physicians stated the autopsy
showed that the girl died from heart
failure. They said that the walls
of the heart We're very thin
and that the valves and other machin-
cry of that organ were abnormally
distended. They said that the girl
had suffered intense pain, had stood
1t rs long as she could and that she
finally tainted
Dr. Baldwin stated that If the girl
had been lying on a bed or had she
been standing upright, so that her
body would have fallen to the floor
and assumedha horizontal position, the
heart would have revived of its own
accord as the blood could have flowed
to the extremities and the patient
would have recovered.

The regular session of the Board Of

President Houser- Well. what's that
got to do with the business before this
body? Have you anything to report
Mr.. Seybold?
Mr.. Seybold-- There are complaints
that branches of trees are allowed to
hang too near the sidewalks, in some
places.
Mr. Wilson, know it. but we can
easily fix them. We've always been hir-
ing carpenter to go around witha saw
and cut them Off, and they sometimes
use n pole with sharp blade at the
end. They just pound on the end Of
this pole and the limbs fall Off
Mr.. Seybold-- No need of that ex.
pense. Let the policemen keep the
branches trimmed off. They can do II

myself the other day. and the police
can do it well enough.
The officers will probably get this
job, as Mr.. Seybold is chairman of the

dams are excellent and prevent water
from coming in OF either side. springs
along the hanks cause streams of
water constantly to trickle in and in
terfcre with the work, so that trac-
tion. engine and pumps are required
to be IN operation all the time. Mr..
Ernest Buetsch has been employed to
furnish power for the pumps, and his
engine will be located at the feeder
until the work is done.
The general level of the water in the
feeder and on Long Lake will be
raised considerably when the work is
done.

STRAIGHT JACKET
Caused the Death of Nora Ferris al
Industrial Home.

1t appeared that the girl had been
placed in the straight jacket by the
officer of the institution. for incorrig-
ibilty and that this punishment was
resorted to as a last means of over
coming an unusually obstinate dispo-
tion. That the punishment was car
ried beyond the point originally in
tended seems evident from the testl-
mony Of all the subordinates at the
institution.
Several employees at the institution
heard her cries for help but they did
not know until it was too late what
the trouble was. Only nine deaths
have occurred at the institution in the
past 10 years and that of Nora Ferris
was the first since 1894. There have
been no deaths since then. The fact
that a general understanding was
reached to keep the manner of the
Ferris girls death secret with the
institution may go little hard with
Capt. stiles.
The board completed the hearing of
testimony late last evening but there
is some correspondence to be examin-
ed before the committee will reach
finding and begin on the report.
This is not expected for some weeks.
Meantime 1t is said that Supt. Stiles
will resign.

New York, April 1.-THE market to-
day was extremely nervous for time,
owing to apprehension of unfortunate
consequences in connection with the
recent rapid rise in Louisville and
Nashville, the improvement in Amer
leans in London and the break in wheat
on government crop report ended at
the opening, to prevent a recurrence of
the weakness that was soon pro-
nounced in late dealings yesterday.
There were several early advances of
1 per cent and over, but on the re-
newed excitement and bulge in Louis
willie and Nashville, a little before noon
traders took alarm. and there were
general reactions averaging close to l
per cent, and in some instances ex-
ceeding that figure. In the afternoon
the impression became general that
there was indeed danger of a corner in
Louisville and Nashville, it being re-
ported and accepted as a fact that
whoever the buyers of Louisville and
Nashville were the contracts actually
passed In the so-called Canadian
group decided buoyancy was developed,

fractions were steady. The market
