on Relief of the Poor Is fully deter
mined to make the most searching In
vestigation OF the crime and to ascer-
tain upon whom the blame lies. both
as to the negligence in reporting the
death and as to the perpetrator Of the
deed. TO this end the committee has
been called by Its chairman, Mr.. julius
A. Hobson, to meet at the home to-
morrow evening at 7:30 O'clock. This
Is the first move In what will be the
most rigid Of the several investiga-

institution. The committee will use
as its foundation in clearing up the
mystery the result Of the inquest and
the work Of the several police detec-

Although few OF the members OF the
committee or others interested in the
case care to say much about what
should or should not have been done
in the premises, their conversation on
the subject plainly indicates that they
fully agree with the verdict of the
coroner's jury that the officials of the
