mourning.
The pupils OF Public Schools 90 and rs at

them survivors but the greater number
orphans of the wreck, brought tearsto many

W,yDiL ~ Dr,t WrrE sCHo0L.
state Hoard NJ Charities Bes,ns an inVes'i'
nnilnn ~ the MnntN Institute.

t'rtcA, June is.-it was learned In this
city this afternoon that the State BOARD OF
Charities had begun an Investigation into
The affairs ~ the Rome lnstitute for Deaf
Mntes, and II was further announced that
Dist riot Attorney Willis n this city had for
several weeks been collecting evidence with
n view TO criminal actions against certain
persons connected with the institution,
whose names. however, are not procurable
tonight. IL ia stated that q number OF
teachers have resigned, but they have been
directed not to leave Rome pending the
investigation. II Ia minated that very
unsa worry and startling revelations are TO
be expected, as rumors Of grave scandals
have reached the State Board, and the pre-
liminary Investigations we're such as to
warrant the statement that there il a good
deal OF truth in all that has been told.
That the investigation il regarded with
satisfaction by those most interested in
the institutes welfare is apparent from
information that il conveyed by a man who
has an intimate knowledge Of the insti-
tution's workings. Actively concerned with
the institutes affairs and having been con-
suited as to the proper course to pursue
in the present lamentable condition of
things, he considers himself perfectly quail
flied in stating emphatically that public
decency demands a full and ngid investi-
CATION"
His story shows that some persons in
authority have been aware of lax methods
that prevailed at the institute, but for GER
tain reasons there was no betterment OF
conditions. Despite suspicious that grew
almost 20 certainties, there was no move
looking to reform until certain teachers
made complaint. Following this came the
resignation of DR.. w. j. p. Kingsley OF
Rome a few days ago as president OF the
board of trustees and the publicity to-day
of the scandal.
All of the present outcry has arisen within
the last few days, it might be said, but there
have been ugly rumors among the alumni
for wears. Not until two weeks ago were
the charges formally made. In a word,
these charges related to the trustees and
indicated that there:was maladministration
and immortality ,in'tlSe .jonduct Of the school.
DR.. Kingsley wa.Axlllthg and anxious to
have a thorough INVESTIGATION. There seems
DO have been a'desireeon the part OF the
board to hush the matter.up, and DR.. Kings
ley retorted by promptly. resigning,
Just what the charges are in detail only
know. 1t is known that there have been
opportunities for wrong at the school, and
information is to the effect that parents
have been to the school to enter complaint,
but were induced not to create trouble.
The girls and young women, pupils are
said to have been the victims of he practices
which are alleged to have obtained during
the several years past. The State Board
of Charities and the prosecuting officer OF
Oneida county will probe the situation to
the bottom.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 15.-A suit that
will be watched with great interest by both
insurance companies and insured has beef
filed in the United States Circuit Court by
Attorney Thomas L. Bergin against he
Commercial Union Insurance Company,
Limited, of London.
The point at issue is the validity Of the
much discussed earthquake clause, behind
which 80 many of the companies nave
sought to take refuge since the disaster.
Bergin took out a policy with the Com
mercial Union on a two story and basement
building for $500. The building was
burned on April IS. On May % Bergin
made a demand on c. P. Mullins, local
manager of the company. for the amount
of his insurance. He says any settlement
was refused. He repeated his demand on
JUNE 7 and was again refused.
The company claims that the earthquake
set fire to the building and was directly re-
sponsible for it's destruction, and that there
Pfore they are not liable under the terms Of
the policy.
