Albany, July The report of Austin G. Fox and Wallace MncFarlune, the two Democratic lawyers assigned by Governor Roosevelt to investigate the alleged frauds under the $9,000,000 canal improvement, finds that neither State En- ghieer Adams nor Superintendent of Public Works Alilridgt? can be held criminally responsible I'oi 1 the failure to complete the work and that while there were some evasions of the act under which the work was done by the engineer department such evasions, by which extra work was done, were covered by the law cre- the department.

Mr. Aldridge is particularly exempted, the report holding that nearly ail the responsibility was the engineering corps. Special At- toiney Bonjumin J. Shove of Syracuse, a Republican appointed to assist, ac- iiuio.sces' in the report. The report of the special counsel is of £reat length and goes into each alleged sni'dfLCiUion of fraud, giving exhaustive datn.

Tho pith ot this report -is found In these paragraphs: "Our decision to institute no criminal proHoeutions on this evidence does not that HI our opinion the officials 1 with carrying out the great work of the canal have done their duty. Tho discretionary powers vested in tho superintendent' of public works a siil the engineers by the contracts and statutes pursuant to which the work was dr. lie were unduly great and have been abused.

Ilrrors In Bidding Ill roferc-nce to the crrorrs in the bidding s-hoots the report says: "The ohiof cause of the discrepancies between tho quantities of work stated in the bidding pheots and tho quantities por- i'ornuKi is round in the extreme solicitude of the state engineer to keep the liir.ntod cost of the work down to tho lowest practicable in order to avoid exceeding tho authorized expenditure. This may have boon prompted by i'oar that ii: it were known, that $9,000.,000 won Id hardly be su Olden to do half the work necessary to complete the improvement tho legislature would abandon the whole enterprise.

But it may have broil title also to a conviction that reduced quantifies would suflko. have not found sufficient evidence to a charge of conspiracy between the engineer oi 1 his subordinates or the suponintoiideut oL' public works or his subordinates and the contrrictors or evidence upon which could justly bo formulated any charge of bad faith, collusion or corrupt motives in this £n-e- Hsnirmry work.

The special counsel in conclusion calls- attention to fact that very nearly the whole report refers to the conduct of the state engineer and says that the superintendent of public works was- forced lo depend upon the engineer corps as to- the character of the work to be done.

'There were several of alleged fraud reported to- which were investigated by the counsel and myself carefully and fully as possible: In none of these cases dM I find nny evidence whatever off fritmitrleiit dentines and dishonesty. contracts specially investigated by the- special counsel I discovered no ev- uCeitee- erf fraud or dishonesty on the part of en.arineer* in charge of the cqn- stractwrn in their return of quantities of work performed. "We- fomtd no evidence of criminal conspiracy to defraud the state which, in the- opinion of the special counsel and myself, would justify us in instituting a criminal prosecution therefor. I discovered no evidence that Mr.

Aldridge had any knowledge before the contracts were let that the quantities in any bidding shoot had not been stated therein with all practicable accuracy. There is no nile of law known to me that holds a principal criminally responsible for the acts of omissions of his subordinates, without nny further evidence than that he is the principal.
