Jury has adopted the report of the eub
committee appointed to-lnvestfgate the
Charge" that the telegraph companies
accepted money fortaesaagee and then
sent them by mall on the days Immedi
ately following the fire. . J
The inquiry was conducted more es
pecially Into the action of the Western
Union, though the Committee found .the
Postal company also violated the law.
The report saye In part: . . v
"It la estimated by your Committee "
that .at least. $U0,000 was collected
from all parts of the United States and
Europe by the telegraph companies fur
messages which were not transmitted
by telegraph. u And your committee has .
not been able to find that the telegraph
companies contributed one cent toward
the relief fund. ( . ' -
"Tour - committee believes that the
Western Union Telegraph company ob
tained largo sums of money by fair
representation, and would recommend
an Indictment of these officials but for '
evidence -ef falseobtaining of a aum
over $50 to make It felony. We believe -that
the company committed the gross-,
est fraud In maintaining a sign pur- '
porting to be doing telegraphic busi
ness when. , in reality, it was taking . .
people's money apd sending the mes
sages by messenger and mail."
The report expresses the opinion that
the Interstate commerce .law was vlo- "
