Directors" the commission declared,

corporate treasury in ventures which are
IN violation Of the laws OF the land"
In its investigation the commission
found that the New Haven had 1856 sub
sidiary corporations many of which
served no purpose except IAN evil one
The report, pointing out that on the New
Haven board were representatives of the
PENNSYLVANIA railroad, the New York
Central and the United states steel cor
poration, the Standard Oil company, the
Pullman company and many other inter
ests, said that interlocking of rhis sort
cannot be too strongly condemned"
This, il was suggested at the capitol
during the day, probably will have Its
effect upon the trust legislation now be-
fore the Senate and may end the talk
about leaving the provisions aimed al

IF these directors, who were faithiess
to their stewardship, were held respon-
sible In the courts at the bar of public
opinion for their failure to do those things
they should have done the lesson to direc-
tors who do not direct would be very
salutary," said the report. Most of the
directors of the New Haven accepted
their responsibility lightly. They failed
10 realize that their names gave conf
dence to the public and that their connec-
zion with the corporation led the public
to invest. When these directors were neg
ngent and serious losses resulted there
from, they were guilty of a grave derelc-

was morally wrong and criminal in Its

HIGH SCHOOL BASKET BALL
Hurley Defeats Cahistota by the
Score of 27 to "a

The first home basket ball game
of the season was PLAYED with Canis-I
tota last Saturday night in the s0ld
Theater Building and resulted fav-
orably for the home team with 9
ID score of 27 to "a.
Both teams were handicapped by
the absence of regular players on ae-
count of former injuries but the
game was close and hard fought
from start to finish. However, on
neither side was there shown the
snap and teamwork that comes only
with time and constant practice as
the basket ball season advances.
With the enthusiasm that is shown
by the boys and girls of the high
school and with the already hearty
cooperation of the town it is certain
that the season will be successful
and one OF much profit and pleasure
to all. &
1t has meant a great deal deal Of
faithful labor for the home boys
during the past two weeks to clean
up the "Old Theater building anc

FOurten-Year-Old Lad
Saves Younger Boy from
Drowning in Canal

Through the heroism of fourteen
year-old John Kinney, of 5221a Mar
ket street, Milton Feeley, five years
old. of II Van Buren, street, was
saved from drowning in the Passaic
river on Saturday evening. The boy
today was discharged from the City
Hospital, where he was sent after
young Kinney had pulled him from
the water.
Milton was playing on the river
front at Van Buren, street, when he
tripped and fell into the water. Some
of his little companions screamed
when they saw their playmate floun-
dering about In the river, and Kinney
heard their cries. Running a half
block TO the bank, Kinney jumped in.
Although fully dressed he managed
to keep himself and the smaller boy
a1oat until man who heard the
cries of the boys on the bank came
and pulled the boys from the water.
Although he was painting from his
efforts and in great distress, young
Kinney tried a crude sort of first aid
treatment on the boy he rescued. He
was rolling the youngster about and
working his arms to and fro when an
ambulance arrived from the City
Hospital. The ambulance surgeon
finished the task young Kinney had
begun and revived Milton.
