THE INVESTIGATORS

A widespread feeling akin to disgust is being en- gendered in the public mind by the investigation mania now afctng these United States This does not mean that the public condones actions by groups ndivd uals which are against the general welfare but some of the methods employed by the investigators be- coming tiresome
 The truth is that Senatorial investigations gen eraly inspired by political and selfish motives Even Tn cases where investigation might be necessary and proper possible good that could the pub hc IS often largely nufied by the manifest spirit of malice and ual1ness which characterzes the procedure of the inquiring tribunal
 And when all is said and done, about the only tan- gibe result of Senatorial investigation is nice, juicy expense bill which the taxpayers must settle.
 Senatorial courtesy" is another old idea that has been debunked
 The pedestrians hope is that the $200 automo- bile will be So small that he can kick it into the gutter
 No wonder they pardoned Doc Cook. It has just been discovered that ne an amateur as compared to the gang in Wall Street.

There was an unusual amount of activity in and about the Putnam State Trade School last Thursday. Many automobiles were seen parked near the school and in the highway.

To a certain extent this is true.

Stephen Suboliski Not Held Re. sponsible For Little Boys
 Fatal Injury
Child Died in Putnam From Frse-
 tured Skull

At the Day Kimball Hospital on the afternoon of April 18th, a child Leon k. Chatelle. Jr., of Attawaugan, died of a fractured skull. The little fel- low has been struck by an automobile driven by Stephen Suboliski of Foster Center, town just over the Rhode Island line. The driver claimed that the little boy ran out into the high way in front of his automobile and that it was impossible to avoid hit ting him.
 Coroner Arthur C. Bill of Daniel son has just made his finding in the case. The finding substantiates Subo- liski's story and exonerates him from criminal negligence.
 No Criminal Act
 The coroner's finding concludes While there is some evidence tending to show that the said Suboliski did not have his vehicle under proper control at the time of the accident, there is not sufficient evidence of criminal earelessness to warrant his being held for trial for causing said death. I, therefore, find that said death was not caused by the criminal act, omission or careiessness of the said Stephen Suboliski or any other person.

 During the afternoon there were perhaps more women who visited the school than men.

Here was something that the women could un- derstand The articles and garments displayed in the sewing department and the dishes of food displayed and seen in the course of preparation in the cooking department, doubtless decided some mothers, then and there, to see that their daughters received this valuable training.

Sold at Auction

When the receivership was first es= tablished it was said to be a friendly procedure for the purpose of reorgan- ization and that the concern would continue operations. This did not develop. The plant was put up at auction. The up price established by the court was $14S,000. There were no bidders. Then the established price was abrogated by the court and a final auction held, March 11th. The property was sold to the former treas urer of the concern, Stewart Camp bell of Providence. for s60.000. Mir. Campbell immediately announced that the mill would resume operations under the corporate name of Putnam Spinners Inc This has been done.
