SIX MEN KILLED
ON TRACKS TWEEN
DARK AND DAWN

BUFFALO, July 2O.-Between mid
night and daybreak today six men were
run down and killed by trains In the
railroad yards at South Buffalo. None
of the dead men have been identified
The six deaths coming within a few
hours caused some talk among the for
eigners in South Buffalo of suicide
pact by unemployed and disheartened
laborers. 1t Is more probable, however,
that the men were on their way to work
or to seek employment and were run
down in the fog which prevailed this
morning.

Prosecutor Mott. who Is in Nova
Scotia on his vacation, sent his com

Plainfield, chairman of the commission.
1t was read and ordered filed. 1t said
in part:
Under ordinary conditions II is nv
opinion that neither the local authori-
ties nor the sheriff. nor the prosecutor,
should lend themselves to any crusade
for the special enforcement of any par
ticular criminal law or set of laws, but
their constant and avowed object
should be the enforcement of all the
criminal laws, and that simply because
the laws exist as laws.
"As your commission Is specially con-
cerned with the excise laws, I beg 10
state that, in my opinion, these laws
have been substantially observed in this
county since the enactment of the
bishops law. 1 do not recall one cnse
where the screens have not been down

Extent of Brewery Control.
On the program is an investigation
of liquor, the saloon back-room bust
ness, while there may be a lively dip
into the supposed relationship between
the police and politics.
Another question on which the prob

tent to which the saloons of Newark
are controlled by the brewers, and some
startling figures are expected If this
line of investigation Is taken up.

Daniels received tremendous ova-

that the American won only by a yard.
He bored his way through the water In

probably could have won by several

Another American who was loudly

Company. 1t has been maintained by
Venezuela that this company stipu.

and controversies arising therefrom
should be decided by the tribunals of

that the company entered into a con

was forfeited because Of its failure to
comply with the terms of the contract
and Its completely with the Matos
