LACKING IN POWER
TO INVESTIGATE
Charities Board Will Not Probe

by Governor.

II seems unlikely that an invcstiga-
lion Of the medical department of tho
State Pcnitentiary will be conducted
by the state Board of Charities and
Corrections. Replying to a request by
Dr. Charles V. Darlington for an in
restigation, DR.. George H. Denny
orally accepted view as to the pow crs
of that body-that it cannot compel
tho attendance OF witnesses nor con-
duct an inquiry which would produce
the facts. unless directed to do so by
the Governor.
DIR. Denny does not speak for the
entire board. and says that he will
call meeting for decision of the
point If there is a demand that he do
so. However. membeps of the board
have expressed themselves in such a
manner as to leave no doubt they
would confirm DR., Dcnnys Judgment.
These members take the position
that inasmuch as the law constituting
the board expressly stipulates that
IL shall have no administrative nor
executive powers. it is clearly beyond
its power 10 assume such powers UNI
less delegated by the Governor. The
latter has indicated that he will not
order an Investigation until ne sees a
