So Reports investigating
Committee in Exhaustive
Review of Hearings to
Institution Managers
MR.. HANDY MAKES
BRIEF CONTINENT

Former Governor Preston Lea, Il.
Allen Hilles and Lindley c. Kent. the
committee appointed by the Board of
Managers of the Ferris Industrial
School to investigate the charges of
alleged cruel treatment Of boys in the
Institution as preferred by l.. Irving
Handy, has reported I'VE do not find
tho charges made by Mr.. Handy in this
letter to Mr. Lea sufficiently sustained
by the influence brought before US.
Although the report of the committee
was read at the meeting of the Board
Of Managers of the school at their
meeting yesterday afternoon, it was not
made public until to-day.
The report treats Of all the acts of
alleged cruelty brought out by Mr..
Handy during the prolonged investiga-
tion following the charges. Relative
10 Mr. Handy's charge that one boy
had been beaten with a fence rail, the
investigating committee reports that
the boy was not badly hurt, as he went
to work shortly after the occurrence
The committee also finds that chains
used on boys were quite light and that
whippings by hitching strap were in
hicted in the usual manner and not
on the bare flesh. Relative to Mr..
Handys charge that boys were de-
prived Of insufficient drinking water,
the committee finds that only OCCASION
ally was this so. and that there was no
indication on the part of the officers
to make the boys suffer from thirst
during work hours. In closing its re-
port the committee asks that sugges-
sions for the be. terment of the school
he made to the managers by all inter-
ested persons.
Mr.. Handy received a copy of the
report this morning. Replying to it,
he said;
IT Just received a copy of the report and
read it with much interest but do not
rare to make any coment on it at this
time The final judgment In a matter Of
this kind rests with public Sentiment and
humane purpose Of the good people Of
Delaware"

SUSPECT ARSON TO

CHISFIELD Md. Feb. 11-Crisheld
Us in an uproar over what Is believed
10 be the murder Of J. Dallas Collins
watchman for the local buildings of the
Baltimore. Chesapeake and Atlantic
Railway Company. which we're burn
ed yesterday morning. The pocketbook
carried by Mr. Collins and his keys
have been found by searchers in the
ruins. Bones have also been found
which are believed to be the remains
~ Mr.. Collins.
1t is the belief that Mr.. Collins was
murdered by yeggmen or tramps, who
robbed the office. States Attorney Cor
don Tull and Sheriff William J. Phil
lips are here and an investigation is
being made.
1t is believed that Mr.. Collins saw
the robbers and fired on them. An
empty shell was found in his pistol.
Cries were heard by captains Of oyster
boats lying off the wharf shortly before
the fire was discovered.
Cries For Help Heard.
Robert J. Green, mate or the police

Grief of Help" Before he could lower
his small boat he saw the outer end
of the wharf blazing He sounded the
alarm.
Captain Robinson. of &ne schooner
Todd. also heard cries coming from
the wharf. He started for the wharf
but before he got there it was in flames
The Captain knew Mr.. Collins we'll. and
said he felt certain that the cries he
heard were from him.
Mr.. Collins recorded his watchful-
ness on his time clock at / o'clock. Fol-
that reason the officials of the company
do not believe he was aslep when the
FIRE broke out Another significant
fact is that the FIRE broke out on the
water front of the building, while the
only known fire in the place was in
the office on the shore end.
II is believed that Mr.. Collins was
attacked near the office and after hs
had been killed his assailants went tc

STRIKE NOW

EMPLOYEES ON EASTERN
ROADS AWAIT ANSWER

BY United Press Leased Special Wire,
NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE wage sit
uation on the railroads east of Chicago
is rapidly approaching a critical stage.
On the conferences now in progress
in Baltimore between the officials Of
the Baltimore & Ohio Railway and the
officials OF the Brotherhood Of Railroad
Trainmen and the order Of Railroad
Conductors may hinge the question OF
general strike, according to the rail-
road men in this city.
Although all Of the big railroads cen
tering in this city have unequivocally
rejected the demands made for more
wages and have invited another offer
of a compromise character, none has
been offered by the unions. They state
that they are awaiting the outcome Of
the negotiations i'm Baltimore and the
return to this city Of the grand chiefs
of the two brotherhoods.
That the railroad officials realize that
there is much at stake in the Balti-
moro conferences Is shown by the re-
fusal OF the officials to make any state
ments for publication suggesting the
probable outcome. An inspired state
ment by an official of the New York
Central was given circulation today.
but 1t has failed to smooth the feelings
of the Brotherhood men here.
In the statement il is alleged that
the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen
and the order Of Railroad Conductors
throughout the country have decided
that the time is ripe to compel the
complete recognition of their organiza-
tlons Heretofore the railroads, with
the exception of the New York, New
Haven & Hartford have refused TO treat
with the officials of these brotherhoods
but have insisted that when commit
tees are sent TO them to agree on the
points of the annual agreement these
committees must be exclusively COM
posed Of men employed on the road with
