lying on the slope of Mount Elliott, Ii,

has melted within the past forty-eight
hours and an immense column of steam is
rising from the spot. The cloud of steam
is visible for miles. 1t is believed by
those familiar with the mountain that
the phenomenon is caused by volcanic
disturbance. A mine located near the
basin, and worked years ago. was aban-
doned because of the intense heat en-
countered in the lower levels.
The deep snow on the mountain side

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK. June 3.-Mayor McClel-
Ian. in person. heard today the charges
made against his police commissioner,
Gen. Bingham, by Supreme Court Justice
Gaynor of Brooklyn, accusing him of
permitting the police persecution of
George B. Duffy, a nineteen-year-old
Brooklyn boy. The mayor announced. in
opening the investigation. that the boy
and his friends would have full oppor-
tunity to lay their complaints before him.
A dozen or more policemen. who have
watched young Duffy, or arrested him at
various times, were on hand at the
mayors office to tell what they knew
about him. The police record of Duffy
arrests and appearances in court was
brought, to be exhibited to the mayor.
The mayors investigation is the result
of a campaign which Justice Gaynor has
carried on in young Duffy's behalf for
some time. The boys case was laid be-
fore Justice Gaynor by friends. The
justice made an investigation on his own
account and found that the bay was ap-
parently subject to arrest on sight and
placed in a position where he had great
difficulty in keeping his employment.
The justice wrote to Commissioner
Bingham in the boys behalf without
success. Finally he wrote an open let
ter to Mayor Mcclellan, in which he
accused Commissioner Bingham of
"despotism and laWlessness" in abus-
ing the police powers. and denounced
the action of the police as Russian

objects Of the law is TO inform the

harmful drugs in medicines" The
law requires that the amount of chic

habit forming drugs be stated on the
label OF each bottle. The manufac-
turers OF Chamberlains cough remedy
have always claimed that their reme-
dy did not contain any OF these drugs,
