Craig at once set about arranging matters for the investigation and later in the afternoon went to the Executive Chamber, where he and Gov. Flower held a long conference. At 4 o'clock Mr. Craig announced that the investigation would begin at the Reformatory in Elmira, Tuesday, Sept. 12, at 10 A.

M. is as far as my individual power goes," be said to THE NEWS reporter who called upon him after the announcement had been made. "I have the power to fix the time and place for the beginning of the investigation, and that is the committee maet in cities?" he was asked. Although his answer was not directly an affirmative one it was enough to assure oue that the committee will go to various places in the State. shall have to proceed in a way that will enable us to best get the evidence." he said.

"We want to an opportunity to all who desire to be heard in this matter and we shall, of course, arrange to meet the convenience of the greatest number of witnesses." "Will those who have been transferred to other prisons from Elmira be given 8 chance to testify?" "Yes. All who have anything to say before the committee will be heard." "What guarantee can you give that inmates of the Reformatory and paroled men will be safe in testifying?" "I do not see that we can give any. It is our province to investigate, and that is all. I do not wish, however, to make statements regarding the details of the inquiry, as that is yet to be arranged by the committee. can only say to you that if you will be present at the opening of the investigation you will be given every opportunity for getting the facts as they develop.

"All I ask is that you give a candid and impartial report to the public. I am greatly and obliged to you for the assistance you your paper have given me and shall be glad to receive suggestions from the press at any time." IS KNOWN IN ALBANY. BROCKWAT In this city as well as in almost every city and village in the State there 'are witnesses who can testify to the brutal acts of Supt. Brockway. About three weeks ago the city heard the story of young Charlie Gardener whose dead body was sent here from the Reformatory to be buried.

He bad been cruelly used by Brockway and after being sent to the Reformatory hospital his mother, Sarah Gardenier, went to see bim, but was denied the privilege. She came back to Albany and within 10 days the body of her boy was shipped home. It was thin and wasted with suffering. but still bore the scars of Brockway's heavy blows. A well-known Albanian, in speaking of this affair last evening, said: This strikes me as the most devilish side of Brockway's nature.

Two of the Gould boys, Otis Allen and Albert, are there, and I am told that they are living like princes. "They with their two brothers, William and Anthony, were convicted of wrecking a bank here in Albany, but they belonged to an old aristocratic family and Brockway makes pets of them. a poor fellow like Charlie Gardenier, who was convicted of stealing a few trinkets from Tom Scott's boat house, was pounded and treated worse than a horse and was denied the privilege of seeing his old mother when be was dying. That's what makes my blood boil. If Brockway would serve the men all alike it would not be half so bad.

But when he finds a man who will serve his devilish plans he makes him a peer over the other convicts and treats him nicely. For example Luke Halpin, who was his Lieut.Colonel in the military and I think is yet, is in for 20 years. He is one of Brockway's particular chums, but as desperate a man as you often find. He was one of the masked burglars, of Tarrytown who were arrested a few years ago after they had committed so many daring crimes." Florence Blythe's Allowance. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept.

-The supreme court has reversed Tudge Coffey's order granting Florence Blythe an allowance of $500 per month out of the estate of Thomas H.

SHE IS A FRAUD. Mrs. Morton's Right Name is Mrs. Holden and She Has Been Begging for a Long Time. Some time ago THE NEWS called attention to an old woman who was 1 going about the city begging.

claiming that she was alone in the world and without friends or means of support. She goes under the assumed name of Mrs. Morton. It was hoped after the matter was made public woman would stop her fraudulent course, but it is learned that she is still begging, claiming that the Morton. newspaper article referred to another Mrs.

Those who have been for years deceived and defrauded by this old woman now wish to make a clean exposure of the case. Her right name is Mrs. Holden. She lives at 547 Michigan street with a daughter and runs a small confectionery and notion store rat that place. She has been soliciting and receiving money as alms when she had several hundred dollars in one of the banks of this city.

This money proceeds of the sale of two houses which she owned. THE EAST BUFFALO CRAP GAME. It is Running Yet and the Polios of the Eighth Precinct Are Due to Olose It Up. The crap game is still running full blast in the East Buffalo Live Stock Exchange building. Messenger boys and other minors are still allowed to go in there and drop their earnwith no one prevent This is the ingest feature of the It is practically a boys' gambling room and, as in the case of the Washington street Monte Carlo, Mr.

Sheehan's police force seem to be conveniently ignorant of its existence. It is talked about all around the stock yards, and THE NEWS has received several communications from those who are anxious to have it stopped. In a letter written by the mother of a messenger boy this language is used: "My boy, who is only 16 years, spends all of bis money in the place and is in need of a new pair of shoes today. I hope THE NEWs will do something to stop it for the police don't." The place is in the Eighth Precinct, and any patrolman can easily learn about the place if he will take the trouble to ask. President Hughes of the East Buffalo Stock Exchange was seen this morning and asked if he approved of such a place in the building.

he replied, "I do not. I never knew anything about it until a few days ago when I heard it talked about." you rent the room for that purpose?" "No, we rented that part of the basement to another man and I suppose he has subrented this room to the man who is running the room." you object to the police stopping the game?" do not. I don't approve of anything of that It may be stated here that the owners and lessees of a building where gambling is carried on are liable under the Penal Code together with the owner of the game. This place must be closed up. Acting District Attorney Kenefled took action in the matter of the Sheeban Monte Carlo when the police refused to stop it.

and he is liable to take a hand in shutting up this East Buffalo game. The police of the Eighth Precinct know of this game, and it might be well for them to take public notice of it and close it for good. A Great Salmon Pack, VANCOUVER, B. Sept. -The canner les have all closed.

Oh, the circus is a coming! and the small boy's feeling grand; He's listening for the calliope and music by the band: He'll watch with joy and rapture the mighty street parade, And then he'll nearly kill himself with circus lemonade. There's the royal Bengal tiger, who's in a fearful rage, And the giddy painted harlequin, whose jokes are gray with age; There's the enterprising camel, who humps himself each day. And the wonder-loving granger with his whiskers fall of hay.

There's the elephant, who travels with his Saratoga trunk, And then the champion fat girl, who's really quite a chunk: There's the bunco man, who cheerily the silver dollar swipes. And the zebra, like Brockway, 80 very fond of stripes. There'll be and "combats" and "equestrian displays," And a hundred blooming ballet girls to set you in a craze; So be sure to see the circus -take the children great and small, Or people will be apt to say you stand no show at all!

12. TO THE EVENING NEWS.I ALBANY, Sept. investigation of the internal affairs of the Elmira State Reformatory and the alleged cruelties of Gen. Supt. G.

R. Brockway will begin at the Reformatory in Elmira Tuesday, Sept. 12, at 10 A. M. This was the announcement made by Hon.

Oscar Craig, chairman of the State Board of Charities, at the Capitol yesterday at 4 P. M. So far the indications are that the investigation will be thorough and just. Atleast two men of high rank in the State who are connected with the proceedings seem very much in earnest. These men are Gov.

Flower and Hon. Oscar Craig, chairman of the State Board of Charities, a committee of which is to conduct the investigation. It has been hinted that Mr. Craig is a great admirer of Brockway as a disciplinarian, that they are warm personal friends, but after meeting Mr. Craig face to face and talking with him it would be the most unnatural thing in the world: for any fair-minded man to believe that he would do anything but that which is most honorable and humane.

Philanthropy and benevolence are stamped on every feature of his face and candor and justice characterize every sentence that he utters. His reputatlou among those who know him best is that of being a noble man whose greatest ambition is to do honest good in the world. His general appearance and conversation calls to one's mind the image of Abraham Lincoln. THE GENERAL PUBLIC AROUSED. THE NEws reporter started out yesterday to learn all possible concerning the general scope of the coming investigation and the manner in which it will be conducted.

Probably no investigation of an institution in this State has ever attracted such general attention. Gov. Flower said to the reporter yesterday that in his position he had become aware that public sentiment was aroused in an unusual degree, and he desired such an investigation as would satisfy the public of the truth or falsity of the statements made. For some time only two newspapers in the State did much to bring the matter before the people. The EVENING NEWS at one end the State and the New York World at the other followed up the matter in a systematic way.

and now within the last few days not only the papers in this State, but the great dailies of outside cities have been asking if such things can really be true. ATTORNEY-GENERAL ROSENDALE'S ATTITUDE The first official called upon yesterday was Rosendale. He received the visitor very cordially but his position regarding the investigation was both unrestrained and conservative. He was unrestrained in talking all around a point but aggravatingly conservative when the point was reached. The Attorney General's office will really act as counsel for the Board of Charities during the investigation, but Mr.

Rosendale has arranged to have his deputy. Judge Gilbert, to act. Judge Gilbert is ill and so the Attorney General was the only source from which the desired information could be obtained. First he was asked: "What will be the general scope of the inquiry?" remains bands of the investigating "Oh, Idon't know," he replied, "that all committee and they have not yet formulated their Then he talked to considerable length on the general proposition that the investigation would have to be conducted as developments required. "You could not expect a judge," he said, "to say in advance how a trial was going to be conducted, and you can not expect either myself or the committee to do the same thing." Asked if different cities would be invited and if Reformatory men in the State prisons would be allowed to testify, he answered that he did not know and requested not to be pressed to anticipate the work of the investigation.

When asked it the present prison laws warranted Brockway in administeriag paddie punishment, be said he had not yet looked up the law on that point. The Attorney General was next asked what guarantee, if any, would be given inmates of the Reformatory and paroled men that they would be safe in testifying. He thought some method could be devised whereby they would be protected or whereby they might be allowed to testify in private without those outside the committee knowing who they were. Mr. Rosendale did not make this statement, but it was learned that at the investigation of Dannemora -prison last year prisoners who expressed a fear to testify were given a chance to freely state their grievances and were then at their own request transferred to another prison.

This might be done with the Reformatory inmates, or a large number might be called for at a time and then only such as were wanted put upon the stand. In this way it could not be known who testified and who were called as dummies if their names and evidence were not made public. Before leaving the Attorney General's office the reporter was assured by Mr. Rosendale that he should do all in his power to make the investigation thorough and impartial, and that every reasonable opportunity would be given the newspapers to give full details to the public. GOV.

FLOWER IS INTERESTED. Gov. Flower showed a decided interest in the investigation when the reporter called upon him, and although a dozen men were waiting to see him and his desk was heaped up with offlelal docaments to be read and signed, be talked freely and interestingly, and all the while economizing time by signing papers as he talked. He talked very frankly about the peculiar law under which the Elmira Reformatory exists, and it is fair to predict that it the Governor can have his way about it there will be 50016 repealing done and new laws enacted relative to that institution during the next session of the Legislature. WHAT CHAIRMAN OSCAR CRAIG SATS.

Mr. Craig arrived in Albany from Cooperstown at 1 P. M. and went at once to bis office in the Capitol, where be found a surprisingly large number of statements and communications concerning the investigation awaiting him. THE NEWS reporter CAR ROBBERS.
