New York, May ,29.-The investiga-
ton of the police department. in con-
nection with the Gould divorce case

work. The com missioner also said
that some of the officers did not tell
the truth when questioned and that
they will be dealt with later on. 1t
is the commissioners intention not to
permit the investigation to rest at
this stage.
eve shall continue to investigate
along the same lines we have fol-
lowed" said General Bingham, "and
that will be an investigation of the
police department and not an investi-

Roosevelt and Socialists Blamed for

London, May 29.-Lord Rothschild' S
views of the prospects of the stock
markets are not encouraging. In an
interview he said he could see no
immediate prospect of improvement,
adding:
"rhe best that can be said is that
the markets are no worse. Perhaps
they are slightly better. But with
President Roosevelt attacking the
railways in one part of the world, the
income tax question and other prob

movement in England the public is
killing the goose that laid the golden

Copenhagen, Denmark, May 29.-It
is stated here that the question of the
acquisition Of the Danish West Indian
islands by the United States has been
informally broached again by the
American minister, Mr.. O'Brien, in
conversation with the Danish foreign
minister, Count Levetzau. It is con-

other reasons will prevent Denmark
from consenting to the sale. There

Cleveland, May 29.-The tempera-
ture dropped to 40 degrees above zero
during the night. This record has
been equaled only twice before since
the weather bureau was established
in this city in 1871. Throughout the
fruit belt along the south shore of
Lake Erie huge bOnires were kept
burning with a view to preventing
damage by frost to young fruit. Ow-
ing to the fact that there was a light
wind blowing nearly all night it is not
believed that the damage by frost will
be heavy in this section. From other
points in the state, however, reports
indicate much destruction. A dispatch
from GAINESVILLE, o., says there was
killing frost throughout that county
and the entire Muskingum valley and
fruit has been damaged very mate
