HARDIHOOD AMAZES
GOV. GLYNN'S FRIENDS
Still Hope Delaney Will Be
Allowed to Do the
Investigating.
ROAD FUNDS JUGGLED
Many of Contracts Not Approved
Until After Work Was
Completed.
TBy Telegraph to The rribune.l

Albany, Jan. 17.-Angered by intima-
tions that he intended TO protect men
connected with Tammany Hall in his
highways inquiry, James W. Osborne.
Governor Glynn's special investigator.
after a short hearing day announced
that he had instructed his assistant,
Arthur T. Warner. to present TO Dis
trict Attorney Alexander of this county
evidence involving John A. Bense',
State Engineer; Duncan w. Peck,
Superintendent Of Public Works; Cor
don c. Reel, former Highways Superin-
tendent, and Charles f. Foley. former
head of the maintenance bureau of the
Highways Department. All these men
are Tammany men.
The evidence against the four men
was turned over to the District At
torney tonight for submission TO the
grand jury. This line of investigation
was based upon data submitted by
John A. Hennessy. who supplied other
material, which Mr. Osborne says will
receive his immediate attention.
Mr.. Osborne mas brought into his in
vestigation another assistant, Albert
T.. Bryan, of New York, who, in con-
necton with Arthur T. Warner, VIII
continue TO collate evidence during the
interim Of week for which adjourn
ment of the hearings has been taken
Osborne's announcement caused con-
stsrnation among Tammany followers
in Albany, and even the friends Of Gov
ernor Glynn were taken by surprise. and
some Of them are still wondering IL
Osborne is sincere in an effort to OBJ
tain indictments against men so close
to the 14th street wigwam. They hope
that he is merely trying to stop criti-
cism of his failure TO act against any
man with the Tammany stamp on him.
The followers Of Charles +. Murphy
breathed easier when they learned that
Governor Glynn had set John II. De-
laney, Commissioner of Efficiency and
Economy, TO work on the graft in
vestigation, feeling sure that Delaney.
loyal Tammany man, would steer
clear of them.

office as Suspicious
Mrs. Frances VESSEL mother Of the
dead child, when questioned by Coroner
Flynn and his physician, is reported to
have said the baby had been teething
and had died from that cause. By con-
tinual quizzing, however, the mother is
said TO have admitted she had called In
two Christian Science dealers to min
lister to the infant. VESSEL. the fatn-
er, admitted TO reporters last night
that he was a member of the 1S6th

The Coroner also learned that the
eleven year old son and the seven
year-old daughter of the Vessels had
been attending the public school at
l65th street and Franklin avenue dur
ing the illness Of the infant, thus ex-
posing the hundreds of pupils in the
school to the danger Of contagion from
the disease.
After DR.. Curtin. the coroner's physi-
clan, had performed an autopsy last
night on the body Of the VESSEL baby
he said death had been caused by
diphtheria. Cultures from the child's
throat were examined under micro
scope and showed well defined evi-
dences Of the disease. The cultures
will be sent TO the Board OF Health
laboratories tomorrow for further ex-
animation.
The VESSEL baby died early yester-
day morning, and the parents called n

VESSEL home he went 10 the Coroners'

| that the death should be investigated.

Delaney Encroaching.

1t is generally understood still among
men close TO the Governor that De-
laney will eventually succeed Osborne
in the investigation. The latter, how
ever. says that he is determined to
execute the commission TO which he
was appointed, and he does not take
kindly TO the injection Of Delaney into
the field. He was particularly resent
full when he learned that the efficiency
commissioner had sent a request yes
terday TO all who had any evidence OF
official delinquency to report to him.
Osborne had already made such an ap-
peal, and he believes that Delaney's
action only confuses the situation.
Governor Glynn said yesterday that
he expected Osborne and Delaney to
work along in harmony. Little Of this
harmony was shown, however, when
they conducted separate hearings to-
day.
Mr.. Osborne after a conference with
Governor Glynn this afternoon, said
that he intended to go ahead with his
investigation as rapidly as possible.
II have just one more private lawsuit
to dispose Of" he said, "and then
purpose 10 come TO Albany and remain
until the investigation is completed.
probably can dispose Of the lawsuit by
the end Of next week. But in the mean
time my assistants are working up the
cases"

Philadelphia, Jan. 1I-Word was re-

College for five years. graduating in 1898
and taking degrees of A. B. and A. NJ.

which had befallen her. In it she gave

Miss Giles went abroad in 1895 with her
mother. and had been living in Italy ever
since An artist who knew her for sew
eral years said to-day:
ELLEN Giles was a spirituelle girl, with

of the other students; not eccentric. but
her life and interests seemed apart from
that of most OF the others.
"She was not inclined to make intimate
friends with any one, though her manner
was always simple and kindly. and she
generously shared the lovely things she
possessed"
An advertisement OF the death Of Miss
Giles was inserted In the Philadelphia
newspapers to-day. II came from man
who acted as business agent for Mrs.
Giles. who is said TO be wealthy. He
stated that he had received cable dis
