 Tho corresponden made public at Washington told of Commissioner Ahc- Chords directing the examiners to cease work, as it was 'suseIess. MT Morgan has Issued this statement in reply
 'eThe infor1natior with regard to the withdrawal of the interstate com merce commission examiners from the continuation Of the books of our firm is the first iIltimation that have had that they have been recaIIed.''
 The New Haven situation is now out Of the hands Of the interstate commerce commission and what ac- tion, if any, is to be taken on theSrec- onanhend ations that the directors be proseeureds lies with the department Of Justice ana the district attorneys in the states in which the cempany has lines. The prosecuting attorneys at New ork, Boston, Hartford. New Haven New London and other points have not yet received copies Of the evidence.
 Directors and former directors of the road generally have refused to discuss the connmission's s report MT. Mellen, however. under whose admin istration the alleged acts conaplained report of a political tribunal made for political purposes
 The full board of the present New Haven directors is to meet in New r York on Thursday. At that time some statement bearing on the charges may be issued.
 MT Afellen's counsel, J. W. H Grim, has issued statement defending MT. NIellen's actions He said that Mel- lens private fortune when he took charge of the New Haven was a mill lion dollars. Nov, he added, it was if the government or the stockholders began action against the directors of the New Haven to recover money aI- legged to have been improperly spent as st1ggesred by the commission, the directors would reta1iate with what which the other action would be nuIh- fed and much to the credit of the di- rectoTx would be established
 There are reams and reams of tes- timony to be taken he said. which will be to the credit Of the directors of the New Haven and Mr. MeIlen. This testimony. which is all prepared. and ready to be presented, never has been made public and will result in the v1ndication Of MT. NdeIlen The view now commonly taken Of him will change nightly when the public re- aIizes the good he has a.ccomplished.' ?,

NO WHENCE DE
 vI0LENCE FOUND
 IN DESTIN DEATH

 Investigation by the authorities to- day has disclosed no evidence tending to indicate that Donninialx Deatin. or Festani of 50 Columbus Place. died suddenly at St Vfncent's hospital yes terday morning from anything but an acute attack of Brights disease. Po- lice detectives acknowledge thatrthere s absolutely nothing upon which to base the suspicion that tl1ers was any fciuI play or that, as some of the dead rrsan's friends contended, he was beat e1 in such a manner as to cause his death
 Dr. Robert B. Keane. attending physician. pr. Joseph P. Deery. house aarEeon at St Vtncent's. and pr. g. M. Garlfck, medical examiner, all agree cause Of death Nothing was found by them or by the Undertaken to indi- cate that Dominick was lla-rshly treated
 suresons say that a beating, such as sorne of Dominick's friends allege was received. could not have been given without leaving marks. t1t is admitted that possibly he might have re ceived blow. or several blows, over che back of sufHc.ent force to stir up d dormant kidney complaint but not eufznfent to leave a marlS.
 Much excitement was aroused in the Columbus place neigh1borhood last night when a rumor came into cir crlation that Domintck was harshly handled while playing a game of a1rbcecasr Sunday afternoon The ruuaor reached police headut1arters and inquiry vas made. The inforna- tton received. it was admitted today, hardly warrants any further action

School Medical Inspector Is
Problem for Jersey Boards

WOODBURY., June The matter
Of medical inspection in the public
schools in South Jersey IS again agi-
tating the various Boards OF Educa-
ton.
This work costs Woodbury. more
than 81, 900 each year. and it IS said
that to carry out the provisions of
the law it cannot be done for less.
This year it is suggested this posi-
ton go to the lowest bidder. Under
the law one or more districts may
unite and employ the same medical
inspector, and in this way one physi-
can can cover a large territory, but
Il would probably require all of his
time.
When the law was passed the local
physicians organiza ton demanded 81
per pupil. and this has been paid each
year since.
It is asserted that medical inspec-
ton, when properly carried out, is
worth paying for. but as it is con-
Quoted in some sections is a farce and
d waste of the taxpayers money.
The new law requires that every
pupil in each district shall be exam
indie at least once a year. A record
of each pupil is kept. Visits to each
school. at least three times a week,
are demanded. with an occa sional lee
ture before the teachers on the mat
ter of sanitary school conditions.
Woodbury. has six school buildings,
and to carry out the law strictly q
physician would have little time for
other practise.
