Tracy was the chief witness called, and
he was examined by Counsel Moss, Com-
mitteemnn Hoffman and President Grout
of the borough of Brooklyn. General
Tracy said in answer to Mr. Moss’ ques-
tions that he had been connected with
the Rumapo \Vater company since 1887;
that he was its president in 1895 and
that he had never received any compensa-
tion except 650, shares of stock, which he
has since sold. Among other reasons he
gave for resigning the office of president
of the company was that he felt that no
company would advance the necessary
capital to develop it so long as one man,
Mr. Lamont, who had induced him to be-
come a shareholder, retained control. In
addition he said the newspapers had be-
gun to abuse him and to vilify him for

,HERKIMER, N. Y., Nov. 1.-—-An out—

school books. A teacher was taken ill
with the disease four weeks ago. The
school was closed for a week and disin-
fected. One week after it opened the dis-
