MERLE COWLES STRIPPED OF
 MUCH POWER
Board of Charities Orders Him Not to Sell or Buy Without Permission

The authority of Merle c. Cowles, superintendent of Lakeview .home was materially curtailed at a special meet he Police & Charities building at S:30 this morning.
 Custom has arisen by which Cowles has been given free rein in the pur- chase and sale of live stock, the handling of funds arising from these sales as well as from the disposal of garden truck and other produce of the farm.
 By vote of the board today this power was taken from him, and his authority to sell was restricted to the excess produce of the farm He is to turn in funds received from such sales. and to make requisition upon the board for such money as he needs for contingent expenses.
 MT. CoWles plans to have his son installed as foreman was defeated Commissioner Foster to forestall this contemplated move introduced a mo- tion that the help at Lakeyiew home rmeains as at present. This was not carried. President Kane followed with q motion that a foreman be chosen President Kane and Commissioner Somers voted for and Commissioners Behrens and Foster against the mo- tion.
 The report of Cowles tabled at re- cent meeting was taken from the ta- ble, and as a result of his reports of sales of stock and produce the radi- cal action above outlined was taken by unanimous vote. All purchases henceforth are to be made through the Board of Charities. Commissioner Somers was very insistent upon this fn Or, April l, Cowles reported that he had on hand $1S1.i4 and this must be turn ed over to the board.
 Investigator Morrissey who was asked to appear before the board to explain the fee system for handling insane cases, surprised the commis- sioners by stating that last week when he returned from MiddIetown he in- formed Supt. Brennan of the Charities department he would not collect any thing more for such work, in view of the boards recently raising his salary from s1,0O0 to $1,200. He went on to say that he was allowed to receive s2.50 for such work through the Pro- bate court and investigation showed that up to date since the first of the year his fees have amounted to SIP 50 This fee is sometimes for taking in- sane people to Hoboken for deporta- tion, and in this work the investigator leaves the city Wttn Ills insane cndrSe long before daybreak that he may ar- rive at Hoboken by 2 a. m. Very often in such cases the preparation of the insane person for the Journey neces- sitates his being up all night, and then he returns for his regular work of investigation of charity cases, and care of the grocery store of the char ities department. In view of Investi- gator, Morrissey's having recently mo- tified Supt. Brennan that he will ac- cept no more fees it was unnecessary for the board to take action.

MCKENNA IS GOOD
 WITNESS
City Engineers Testi- mony IS Straight
 forward
Answers Questions Put by Jud' son in Cross Examinati0n--
 Explains Bills and Checks

Much to the chagrin of the curiosity : seekers who thronged the city hall
 awaiting the shattering of City En- ! gineer McKennas defense by Attor-
 ney Judson's cross examination of the ! city engineer. the continued hearing of
 investigation of the city engineers of
 flee last. evening was almost devoid
 of surprises. failing almost completely
 tc disclose anything further than had
 already been brought out during the protracted hearings.
 McKenna, under cross examination,
 insisted upon the right to explain 2 many of his answers, when Judson de-
 manded simply a "Yes" or "No" re-
 sponse, and the committee upheld Mc-
 Kenna and his counsel, Attorney Jacob B. Klein. notwithstanding Sem ator Judson's protest that delays oc- casioned in this way would prolong , the hearing indefinitely.
 McKenna's assertion that he has been barred from membership in En- gineering societies through the act1v-
 ity of local engineer, whose name he
 did not meiation;- and that certain men who endorsed his applications for such membership had withdrawn their l names because of this engineers eff { forts. caused a stir throughout the council chamber. But the name of the engineer he accused, was not brought
 out.
 McKenna scored repeatedly when under both direct and cross examina- ton he explained away, one after an- other, the checks introduced to show that there were irregularities in the finances of the office. He admitted that he had violated the charter pro- visions of the city in contracting bills , for which there was no money ap-
 propriated, but defended his course on the ground that he believed the
 work of his office was too important to be stopped and said the work would stop If the bills were not contract cd.
 McKenna also told his version of the encounter with Denis F. Muivihill in punched Mu1vihill. His provocation was a vile epithet. he testified, coupled with Mulvihill's insolent attitude. Mo Kenna's recital of MulvihilPs language was to the effect that Mulvihill had insulted both McKenna and his mother. "No man." said McKenna with a show of feeling, "can use that lan- guage to me, loving my mother as do." He said he struck Mulvihill but once, that Mulvihill stumbled over a chair and in falling struck his face against 6 typewriter. He regretted the incident at once, and helped Null vfhill wash his blood away and told him to go home for the day and have his injuries attended.
 The first witness was Attorney John R. Hayes formerly of this city, now | of Hartford. The name of John R. Hayes was brought in to substantiate

If all the dire predictions that were
exchanged between William thinner

to the game between East Chicago and
Whiting tomorrow prove true. the story
of the gingharl dog and the calico cat
which ate each other up, will find
prototype. Each promises total demoii-
ton of the other. Mr.. Zimmerman ex-
planned to Abe that out of regard to
the feelings of East Chicago, its team
being the last in the league. his boys
went a little easy with the East Chi
cago aggregation. From now on how
ever. he let it be known, that friendship
ceases. Abe returned that he appre
ciated Mr.. Zimmerman's kindly
courtesy but he did not take 1t so seri-
ously as he enerally takes Mr.. thinner
man. That, in short, East Chicago
would show the world tomorrow, that
last Sundays game was no fluke- East
| Chicago, he declared, would hand Whit
ing the same ackage as 1t handed them
| last week. He moreover expressed
himself as gratified at Mr.. thinner
mans proposition that friendship cease,
as he expected TO lick the Within &
crowd again. and so long as there were
friendly relations. 1t seemed too much
like taking candy away from a baby 10

| In fact. he broke 1t to Mr.. thinner
| man as gently possible. that his
| team and the local fans had become so
obessed by the victory of last week that

check to prevent a second slaughter.
