ADVERSE ACTION ORDERED
CHARGE MADE BY MRS. FENTON
NOT REFERRED TO COURT.
Majority Of Commissioners Do Not
Regard the Facts as Sufficient to
Warrant Prosecution.

1t Is said to be not likely that the case
of Mrs. Maggie M. Fenton. who alleges
that she was placed in the insane asylum
when she was not insane, and who was re-
leased two weeks ago after an incarcera-
ton OF five days, will be given by the Com
missioners to the United States district at
torney for prosecution. was at first ex-
pected. When the District corporation
counsel advised the Commissioners more
than week ago that the case was one for
the federal authorities and not for the
District Commissioner West recommended
that it be referred to the district attorney
for prosecution.
Commissioner mcfarland moved today
that the case be not referred to the dis
trict attorney. and his motion has been ap-
proved by Commissioner Morrow. Mr..
Mcfarland is of the opinion that the facts
in the case as they have been presented to
him do not warrant such action. Mr.. West
has not expressed his views upon Mr..
Macfarland's motion upon his recommen-
dation. but it is said to be likely that he
will repeat his recommendation for prose-
cution.
Mr.. Macfarland's View.
In his motion Commissioner mcfarland
saiH
II cannot agree. at preso mt advised. to
refer this case to the United States district
doing after the recital that on September
TO- 1907 the Comm ssiOners signed papers
committing Mrs. Margaret NJ. Fenton to
the insane asylum upon certificate signed
by John w. -'enton and Mrs. Eloise Glenn
mems residents. and DIR. William L. Mil
Ter and DIR. George ]. Lochboehler as ply
sicians is that since that time. according
to published statements. the charge of in
sanity has been withdrawn, the woman re-
leased and the assertion made that she Is
not and was not insane
1.-THE published statements referred to
do not accompany the papers before me- but
whatever they were they would not unless
verified. be sufficient for such serious ac-
ton by the Commissioners as suggesting
Criminal prosecution of hitherto reputable
citizens. No facts warranting such action
are presented in the papers before me. So
far as appears, the charge Of insanity has
not been withdrawn"
Was Temporarily Committed.
Mr.. Macfarand inclosed in his motion a
communication from the husband of Mrs.
Fenton and a communication from the act
which 1t is stated that Mrs Fenton was
temporarily committed to the asylum pend
ing judicial inquiry and was discharged as
cured
Mr.. mcfarland also furnished the status
tifcate committing Mrs. Fenton. one of
whom Mrs. Fenton Is alleged to claim has
not seen her for two years. and said:
Such men, to say nothing of Mr.. Fenton
and Mrs. EoSe ClemmenS, should not be
presented to the District attorney for prose-
cution without at least prima facie case
against them, based on official facts

Booth & Company organized the Ov-
erland Refrigerator Express Com
pany, through which it received pre-
tended commissions on business turn
ed over to the railroad companies,
which amounted to rebates ranging
from to 121a per cent. of the reg
ular freight charges. 1t is under
stood that it was shown to the grand
jury that the Overland Refrigerator
Express Company was organized by
A. Booth & Company and was actual
ly owned by it. although the stock
was held in the name of third
party, and that at different times
Booth & Company had made state
ments to the effect that the business
of the Overland Refrigerator Express
Company was really it's business.
The grand jury investigation
which resulted in the returning of
the indictments was limited to inves-
tigation of alleged violations of the
rebate law by the different corpora
tions indicted. No investigation was
made by the grand jury of violations
of the antitrust law by any of the
concerns named in the indictments

ALARM
OU 7 OF
ORDER.
Box at Hosp pita|
Found to Be
Useless.
.MAYORAROUSED

The fire which totally destroyed
one dwelling house on Convery place
Saturday noon and partially consum-
ed the two houses adjoining, as told
In the NEWS Saturday, has brought
out the fact that certain parts of the
local fire alarm system are out of Or
der and do not receive proper at
tention.
When the fire was discovered Sat-
urday an attempt was made to turn
in an alarm from boxS5, near the city
hospital, but it failed to work. While
the house was wrapped in flames and
the adjoining houses were threatened,
the man who turned in the alarm had
to run to telephone and call police
headquarters. Sergeant Dunham
then called Martin Bartos and told
SO at Elm street and New Bruns-
wick avenue. Meanwhile the Lin
coin Engine Company and Protection
Hook and Ladder companies received
still alarms and were half way to the
scene of the conflagration when the
fire bell rang.
Mayor Bollschweiler, Chief Eugene
Mullen and First Assistant Chief
George e. Mead made an investiga-
tion and found that the box was out
of order.
Mayor BOllschweiler, who is very
indignant over the matter, said this
morning: ut is an outrage that the
fire alarm system in this city cannot
be kept in better condition. l am
sure that If box No. IS had been in
good working order the two houses
adjoining the burning house on the
north and south would have been
saved. / intend to write to the tele
phone company and ask them where
the difficulty lies. The box has now
been repaired, but that is not the
question. 1t should not have been
out of order in the first place. | in
tend to make a rigid investigation in
the matter"
