by demanding the resignation OF Mr.. Pool
The governor did not encourage the
committee along the latter lines, but did
assure It that an investigation would be
instigatSd Immediately. The committee

mony In substantiation of the verify
of such a transaction one witness

Buckhead, where 1t took place.
"One Of the witnesses formerly
worked with Tyree and knew his
methods Of handling his men. Speak
ing of Tyrees severity In handling
his men, this witness testified that
Tyree broke the convicts skin with
every lash, and the blows were so
frightful that the blood would splat-
ter again the wall. The witness said
that the screams of the tortured ne

distance and that the brutality of Ty-

Whitman Declares Probe Will Be
Continued, However = Dead
Treasurer Not Accused.

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-District At
torney Whitman to-day reopened his
probe into State graft and declared
that the present investigation would
be prosecuted successfully despite the
suicide of John J. Kennedy, State
Treasurer, who ended his life by cut
ting his throat with razor in a
Buffalo hotel yesterday.
Tho District Attorney asserted that
he had not in his possession any evil
dence Of any illegal practices by the
late Treasurer, but that he believed
he could have secured important evil
dence from Kennedy.
Whitman Badly Hampered.
According to reports at the District
Attorneys Office it was said the
ed in his plans by the suicide. He
had planned to question Kennedy on
the following matters:
Who ordered James Stewards
contract held up after he refused
$4,000 to q man calling him
self James Gaffney?
Who, outside Of the Canal
Board, sought to influence, or did
influence, the letting of contracts
involving millions?
Who contributed to campaign
funds while holding contracts?
Seek Bonding Frauds.
What arrangements were made
with banks holding State deposits
for furnishing bonds in a surety
company in which Kennedy was
formerly interested?
What arrangements were made
with contractors for making
bonds in the same concern?
In renewing his investigation, which
had been delayed for several days
owing to a court recess, District At
torney Whitman summoned twenty
up State contractors to appear this
afternoon before Chief Magistrate
McAdoo who is conducting the John
Doe probe into the sand bagging'
of contractors.

The Georgian's picture offer, for
which coupons have been appearing

or more takers in a house to- house

ness, representing the proposition as
that appearing in The Georgian.
At the new picture office, No. 1917

that there is no canvass being made
or authorized in connection with The
Georgian's offer. The coupons are be-
ing accepted at the picture office, but
those who desire the pictures must
present the coupons or send them to
that office. There are no solicitors,
and any person representing himself
as such is an imposter.
At the picture office it is also an
