FATHER GIVES UP
Parent OfMissing Student Thinks His Son Dead Teachers
 Continue inc Search.

Wilbraham, Mass, May 23.--The search for William Carroll, the fresh man at Wesleyan academy who has been missing since Monday afternoon was prosecuted again today, sys- tematic plan of exploration having been laid down by State Officer F. +. Flynn who is conducting the work. Only about ten students and few teachers from the academy assisted to-day because yesterdays search proved to be too fatlguing for the mas jority of the academy boys, many of whom became exhausted, some even falling by the way. The students as- sisting in the search today are the hardest boys in the school. The party is reinforced by number of the toWnspeople and also by some of the residents of Glendale, little village across the mountain from Wilbrahaln.
 TO-day's program included the drag ging of the brooks in the vicinity ard an examination of the reservoir.
 Charles F. Carroll of Rowe. father of the missing lad, who was assisting in the searh yesterday returned to his home to-day believing that his son is dead.

NO TRACE OF RoBARTs.
Father of the Missing Man Came to
 Waterbury To-day.

The disappearance of George Rob- arts stil lcontinues to puzzle his friends and the more 1t is pried into the more difficult 1t becomes to know what to make of 1t or which way to turn to clear 1t up. Last Friday eve- ming he left hi splace of business to go to a meeting of the Elks and that was the last seen of him. He didn't attend the meeting and nobody saw him about the streets that night or since. When he didn't show up af- ter day Or so it was thought that he might have made a flying trip to his old home in Bogota, N. J.. but this was not so and after making in- quiries all over the state and in other places the Elks decided to send out a general alarm all over the country. His father, Thomas Ro --s of Bogo- ta came to Waterbury to-day and held iong consultation with A. w. Cas- tie and other Elks. All his effects were examined but they contained nothing that would throw any light upon his whereabouts. Mir Robarts had no financial troubles. as anybody can see by the fact that he had a bank account of over s2.000 and had money in other places. and this rem ders his disappearance all the more mysterious.

NO ONE TO BLAME
Investigation Into Inoculation of Prisoners al Manila Has
 Been Finished
B OUT OF "A ARE DEAD

Manila, May 23.-A committee of Filipinos appointed to investigate the inoculation of prisoners at Bilibid prison with contaminated serum while a series of experiments with cholera virus were conducted last November has made report. The committee finds that no one was responsible for the accident and specifically exoner- ates Dr k. F. Strong of the bureau of science who was in charge of the pac- astrological work of laboratory system, and was conducting the experiments.
 A committee of scientists who iIl- vestigated the case found that 13 pri- soners out of 24 who were inOculated died of the inocula.ion of attenuated plague cultures mixed with the cholera serum.
 The committee of Filipinos agrees with the findings of the scientists and further finds that scientist, who was visiting Dr String at Bilibid at the same time he was preparing the chol- era serum, was left alone ill the room for a few minutes while Dr Strong went to the laboratory. This visitor was examining pIog.e germs of viruIent type, but it is not be- lieved that these were mixed with the serum, for the reason that all inocr- lated did not die.
 The committee recommends that a liberal provision be made by the Philippine commission for the families of the deceased and that measures be taken to prevent recurrence cf the accident.

LOOK OUT FOR CROOKS.
Will Wait in With Wild West in the
 Morning.

Tomorrow Is circus day and un- doubtedly as always on such a day, the city will be alive with clever crooks and sneak thieves. There are many who have vivid remem- brances of circus day last year, Con- stable Jim Lunny for instance. Buff lalo Bill is playing Springfield to- day and undoubtedly the crooks are also there.
 Last Monday the bunco men made q big haul when the show exhibited in Bridgeport Not only were pock- cts picked, but the people were done out of their money in bare face manner by some of the fakirs,
 As usual in all probability a large crowd will be on hand to see the big show come in. Though there Is no telling what time the trains will arrive. because of the trip from Springfield, they should be a little later than usual.
 Last year when Barnum & Baileys show was in this town, the crooks, notwithstanding the efforts of the police and detectives, made a good days haul. One of their victims was Constable Jim Lunny, who had q diamond pin stolen from his tie. It was the joke of the year, and though Jim and Billy" Rigney, his side partner vowed they would get the light fingered fellow. Lunny Is still at loss to know where the dia- mond went. Though there is no pa- rade, there is plenty of opportunity for the sharp witteG fellows to do their little pilfering and everyone should hang on .c his money while in a crowd. Cont be the soft one tomorrow.
