Coroner Calhoun made an exhaus- tive investigation following the fatal- ity. He found road conditipns to have contributed to the accident and an abscnee of recklessness on the part of Burke, h reported, and ac- cordingly the fire department at- tache was relleved of criminal sponsibility. While an re- absence of grounds to hold Burke for criminal uegligenc would not mecessarlly preclude grounds for civil suit, there is a statute which appears to be in point and is on this law that attorneys claim there {s no redress.

Burke was driving his own car and was answering a call from a Berlin factory.

J. of New York and Damos J. Munn of this |city as companions, he will leave to- |day. The purpose of the expedition {will be to explore places never seen By white men, in the vicinity of the Nascople, Beaver and Susan rivers ;and to return by the Grand River from the interior of Labrador to the Northwest River post of the Hudson Bay Co. The grand falls of the Grand River, which will be an ob- |dective of the expedition, They have |been seen by only four white men and then in 1891, according to offi- clal report, and are reputed to be |twice as high as Nlagara Falis. Dillon Wallace, noted explorer, had planned to make the trip but could not secure his release from the government from speclal work be- Ing done at the Culver Military |8School at Culver, Indiana. Plans of the expedition are to sail from New- |foundland on June 20 and Dpnald | MacMillan, now in conference with Judge Malone in New York, plans |to meet the party on the Labrador ‘(‘ofisl. If conditions prevent the steamer from leaving Newfoundland on June 20, Judge Malone plans to {proceed under his own power in his speclally built canoes to Hamilton iInlet, and thence 100 miles west to |the jumping oft place at the North- west River post. Because of Judge Malone's prom- inence and his highly successful ex- |peditions of former years, much in- |terest is attached to the expedition. |As he is a member of the Explorers’ {elub of New York, members are looking forward to the outcome of |the explorations of the party. 1 Rev.
