Compensation Cases
 Printed in Digest

The decisions of the compensation commissioners from January 1, 1914. when the act went into effect, to May 31, 1916, have been printed by the comptroller and are on sale in the offices of the commissioners. The act providing for the printing of these books designates the secretary of the state as the proper person to seal the books, but the commissioners con- sented to act as the agents of the secretary, as those who would nat urally desire the publication do most of their business through the com missioners.
 The digest contains list of cases and is thoroughly indexed. It has 732 pages and is well bound in buck ram. The Legislature authorized the printing of 2.500 copies, 700 copies to be given to the commissioners, 300 to the state librarian, and 1,50O copies to be sold by the secretary of the state at cost. The commissioners have voted to turn over the 700 copies which had been reserved for them to the secretary, as every copy given away by a commissioner kills the sale of book. Therefore, no copies will be given away either by the commits sioners or by the comptroller. The 300 copies used by the state librarian will be sent to other states under the system of exchanges in operation in his office.

 FACING CHARGES
 FOR NEWS ITEMS

Columbus, N. M., Aug. 5-The pre- liminary inquiry of officers of the Second Massachusetts infantry into the charges of mismanagement, made by Private Hugh Clarke in Holyoke, Mass, newspaper, has completely ex- onerated Captain E. J. Slate, in re- gard to the handling of D. Company's accounts, it was announced here to- day. The 28 guardsmen of company ID who signed a statement supporting Clarke's assertions, according to high officer, may possibly escape with a reprimand.
 Meantime the army authorities here are awaiting word from General Pershing to whom a summary of the investigation has been sent, as to the summoning of general courtmartial to sit in Clarke's case.
 Clarke asserted in print that Cap- tain Slate had misapplied company funds contributed by the citizens of Holyoke, and had allowed the men to be served with bad and insufficient food. The examining officers, how ever report the captains accounts are in excellent shape, and the D company men, when questioned, declared they had no complaint against the com pany mess. Clarke is now confined in the stockade here.

NEW HAVEN SUIT WILL GO BEFORE
 SUPREME BENCH

Boston, Aug. 5-The full bench of the supreme court will be called upon again to determine the merits of the suit for recovery of $1O2.000,O00 from former directors of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad for alleged mis-expenditures between 1904 and 1909.
 Judge Crosby, it was announced to- day, has referred back to the full bench the bill, answers, demurrers and special pleadings in the suit. which was brought by trustees of the will of Ole Bull Vaughn and other minority stockholders of the road. The plaintiffs contend that the directors made drastic expenditures unwisely and without authority in the purchase of steam and electric railway lines and steamship enterprises in an effort to create a monopoly of tranSporta- tfon in New England.
 The suit was before the full court two years ago, when it was decided the minority stockholders could not maintain the bill until it was shown that the present directors had refused to bring proceedings against their predecessors. Since then the plain tiffs by various declarations and pro- cesses claim they have overcome the obstacles pointed out by the court and are now entitled to go forward be- cause of the hostile attitude of the present board of directors

Danish Paper Attacks
 Selling of West Indies

London. Aug. 5-Some of the Dan ish conservative papers have opened a violent attack upon the government over the treaty with the United States for the sale of the Danish West In- dies, according to Copenhagen des- patch to the Exchange Telegraph company.
 The National Tidendeuj says: "In a question of such great importance for the whole nation the government act ed in a manner such as it's worse an tagonist would not have believed it capable. Nobody but the Danish gov ernment would have risked such. a course"
 On the other hand. Politiken points out that Denmark several times at- tempted to utilize the islands. but her efforts were in vain.' This paper says that under the present war conditions the islands may not become a danger to Danish neutrality and that it might be difficult for Denmark to keep them from encroachment.

Chicago, Aug. 5-Declaring that the voters of the nation in 1912 and 1914 decreed the death of the Progressive party, and that all signs pointed to a desire on the part of the American people to work out their political .fu- ture with the instruments provided by .ne two dominant parties. Raymond Robins. of Illinois. chairman of the 1916 Progressive national convention today issued statement calling on his party to support Charles B. Hughes. the Republican nominee for the pres idency.
 The manner in which the Progress i've tickets of 1912 and 1914 were re- celved by the voters, MT. Robins said indicated the movement to be revolt wi,nin a party and not a permanent political cleavage that was sufficient to warrant the maintainance of Pro- grossly party lines.

MEMORIAL TO wH1TCoNB RILEY.

Ine appointment of a committee to consider the question of a memorial 10 James Whitcomb Riley is A wise ana natural step. Many suggestions nave already been made as to what snould be done. One of the earliest was In letter to the News from a Carlisle child enclosing 25 cents as a starter for a children's monument Another early suggestion was that inc Holstein home in Lockerbie street where MT. Riley lived so long, should be acquired and preserved. This suggestion grew into a larger one tb.t the whole block be taken over for public purposes. A great monument in Crown Hill has, of course. been n,o- posed / It has also been suggested that something suitable should he done in connection with the citv li- brary. part of the site of which was gift from MT. Riley. A summer home or park for children, with rum ming brooks and "Old Swimmin' Holes" is another suggestion. For tunately artists and sculptors have preserved excellent portraits and busts of the Hoosier poet and these will be useful in whatever may be done. All of these suggestions should, of course, go to the committee for consideration. together with others which no doubt will be made. Art is long, and there is no need for haste. The dignified, proper and permanent thing is what everybody will want. No doubt also there will be more than one thing done, for there are many ways in which the life of the depart ed but ever-to-be-remembe bered poet will be honored.
