 records of the commission, he did not believe that he had @ right to see his discretion of the board. They might or might not allow 1t as they saw fit and most certainly he scould not have any right to sec the papers of any one else. |, Do you think it would be wrong to show him his own papers?" asked the senator
 T think 1t would be right for him to ask to see them and that it would lie in their discretion to allow it.
 He also thought it would be right for him to ask whether the marking in this case was done by one man, by a doubtful as to the right to ask the name of the marker.
 Asked If he really considered the civil service good thing, he replied T do." He thought however that the present civil service law was at fault In that 1t allowed man who had passed much lower than some other to be appointed, without the other man being given a show. His idea was that the highest man should be given temporary ap- pointment, and ir satisfactory should receive tho permanent appointment.
 In his statement to the committee, Carroll had laid some stress on the fact that some of the persons who were taking the eXaminations had started to write before the papers were given out, Morris said that 1t would be an inter- esting thing to know what these men were writing He admitted that some years ago there had occurred leaks in the board. but held that this could hardly have been case of any one writing on the examination, as 1t is the custom now to start the examina- ton with diotation test,
 Then this question was put to him, .Do. you think there might be a leak answer was that he knew of no case, and while 1t might, of course, be pos sible with any board he did not think so.
 Asked regarding his view of the in- vestigation which MT. Carroll has started, Mir. Morris said that any in vesigation under proper conditions held that Carroll would have the right | to have the whole board review his pa pers.
 In closing the committee asked his opinion under the charter of the power of the board of aldermen to act as a court of inquiry to summon witnesses in case like this and investigate the had not looked up decisions on the mat ter, he thought the charter did give 1 that body power to hold an iquiry anc summon under supoenas witnesses i1 1 the case, for the purpose of inquiry, al though he did not believe it could on. force any recommendations or make any order as the result of the Inquiry
 As the civil service commission wat not represented at all the nearing wal adjourned until next week with no re. port in order that the commissions side l of the question may be presented.

 "We were not sure that the town of New Haven would reimburse us," said MT. Coddington, If we went ahead with the burial of the body, so the matter dragged along from day to day waiting for the mans relatives, or the town of Seymour, to make ar- engagements to take it away. Perhaps for day or two the fact that the body was in the morgue was forgotten, but not for any great length of time. Yes terday the undertaken came from Sey- mour and claimed the body. It was in the morgue and we gave it to him. It did not go into the morgue to see it before we delivered il"
 When asked last night what he thought of keeping the body of MT. Kobel in the New Haven hospital for a couple of weeks without saying any thing about it, especially when the person had died of typhoid fever, Health Officer Wright, who has been in office for almost a decade, said that he would have to wait before he ex- pressed himself for publication, He said he had not read about the case in the newspapers yet, and would have to become acquainted with the facts before be gave out any statement.

200 BODIES FOUND

Rome, Oct 24-The details received here during the day regarding the earthquake in Calabria yesterday ev- cry way tend to show that the damage done was much more extended than at first estimated and that the loss of life has been great
 No bodies had been recovered from the ruins until o'clock this evening; at that hour about two hundred were taken out. It Is now estimated that the deaths will surpass five hundred, but 1t Is impossible to get accurate in- formation on this subject as many vil- lages are still cut off by the floods and the destruction of roads and tele- graph lines and no word from them can be had.
 This earthquake bids fair to rival that of 1e05.

 An important arrest was made by Game Warden Van Deusen yesterday afternoon. Two foreigners who gave their names as Andrew Cavallaro and Giuseppe Romo were stopped by the game warden in what is known as the Osborn woods in back of the old Pink house. Upon examination the warden discovered one dead robin in their possession and he immediately put the two under arrest. It seems that the two had just started out on their hunt and would have if not detected killed several more birds. The curious thing about the arrest was that Cavallaro had the hunting license, but no bird while Romo had the bird and no hunt ing license Their trial will come up before the local police court Saturday morning.
