The Marvin case remains as
much of a mystery to-day as when
the little fellow disappeared on
March the 4th. His body has been
found but the manner of his death
may never be known. While the
evidence before the Coronor's Jury
inclines to the belief that death was
due to exposure, it hardly seems
possible that a place that had been
thoroughly searched should have
been found later to contain the body.
Neither does it seem possible that
the body could have lain there for
two months without being spied by
the buzzards. The element Of mys-
terry surrounding the case makes
believe that the lad never wandered
to the spot and starved to death
but that he was kidnapped and later
disposed of and his body secreted
in the marsh to cover up suspicion
The State authorities should leav,
no stone unturned to ferret out tn,
facts at whatever cost.

COOPERATIVE SOCIETIES.
How They Can Aid In the Improvement

How They Can Aid In the Improvement
 of Towns.
 What cooperative societies can do toward the building up of town is shown by the success of the following:
 Athol, Kan, boasts of three co-opera- tive industries controlled and almost entirely owned by nearby farmers who have invested their surplus capital i,. building up the town, says the Arena. There are the Athol Cooperative Grain company, with an elevator which han dles 23,OOO bushels of grain and which in 1906 disposed of 13O carloads of grain to the entire satisfaction of the farmers, and the Farmers Shipping as sociation, which handled 129 cars of stock and made sales amounting to $13O,O5612, besides $253 collected as damages from railroads. Of this amount the shareholding farmers re- oeived $129, ,354 8O The Peoples Lum- Der company is the latest venture of the farmers, and it is believed it will prove successful.
 A property owners cooperative soci- ety and cooperative construction com pany have been organized by the citi zens of Auburndale, N. Y., to improve the town and guard against infringe ment of their rights. The construction company has been organized with a capital stock of $50,OOO and is engaged in the manufacture of concrete build ing blocks, of which 1t Is proposed to construct the town A small plant is now in operation at Auburndale, and it Is proposed to enlarge this, put in new machinery and engage in the manufac- ture of blocks on q very extensiy" scale.

JUSTICE FITZGERALD'S CASE.
Testimony Taken In the Effort OF the Brook.
Ign Bar Association TO Disbar Him.

Testimony Taken In the Effort OF the Brooks
Ign Bar Association 60 DIsbar Him.
The Brooklyn Bar Association began
formal disbarment proceedings yesterday
against Justice Thomas w. Fitzgerald Of
the Court of Special Sessions. The testi-
mony was taken in the Appellate Division
court room by Referee Henry Bacon Of
Goshen, n. Y. Justice Fitzgerald was not
present, but was represented by Lawyer
Eugene Couran. Charles j. McDermott
and Col. William c. Beecher represented
the Bar Association.
The proceedings were interrupted by
numerous objections which were intended
TO bar various papers hat were offered in
evidence by the Bar Association. Most of
these objections were overruled by the
referee.
Mrs. Margaret M. slevin Of Yonkers and
Mrs. Sarah Johnston of Staten Island testi-
fled hat Justice Fitzgerald had used mort
cages that we're intrusted 10 his care for
purposes Of speculation. Mrs. Johnston
said that Fitzgerald had served as her at
torney for six years and in that capacity
had purchased in 1909 from Mrs. Slevin a
mortgage given by Julia O'Connor. Mrs.
Johnston said that she paid 81 900 for the
mortgage.
Mrs. Slevin said that Justice Fitzgerald
was acting for her at the time, but had no
authority to assign or deliver the 0'Connor
mortgage TO Mrs. Johnston. She testified
that she had never received the 81 900 said
TO have been paid TO Fitzgerald. Both
women said that Justice Fitzgerald had
paid the usual rate OF interest on the manip-
ulated mortgage. which established the
peculiar situation OF a single mortgage
having two owners and paying double
interest.
Besides the 81 600 said to be due on the
O'Connor mortgage Mrs. Slevin said that
the Justice is in her debt for certain mort
cages and funds 'intrusted 10 his care
amounting to more than $1,000. Checks
and papers were submitted in proof. She
said that she had instituted proceedings
against the Justice in 1905.
John G. Milburn of 81 Broad street told
of an unpaid bill that dates from the time
that Justice Fitzgerald was appointed to
the bench in 1905. He replaced one of
Mayor Lows appointees and was forced
70 fight for his seat. Mr.. Milburn acted as
counsel for Justice Fitzgerald, When the
latter's appointment was confirmed by the
courts he got 81 600 for couns fees and
$40 for expenses. Mr.. Milburn said that
Justice Fitzgerald had collected the money
but had never paid him.
The hearing will be continued.
