Actually Under Way.
SUB-COMMITTEE MEETING
Police and Reform Officers Are
Closely Questioned by In
quisitorial Body.
Work of Investigating the state de
partment of agriculture, as provided for
under the Ault resolution passed by
the last session of the legislature, began
when the legislative committee,

noon to consider Commissioner Hud
son's report.
The work outlined by the anb-com-
mlttee for the first meeting la more or
less perfunctory. Tho advisability of
summoning witnesses will be discussed
and In all probability an auditor will
be named. It le also likely that a com
mittee named from the sub-committee
will be organised to consider certain
details of the reDOrt.
The Ault resolution under which the
Investigation was called gives the leg
islators but ten days to make th* probe,
and the work must bn done with the

this reason that the meeting* of the
entire committee will'take place ear
