Under the rules of the commis- sion as interpreted by the majority a commissioner is bound not to re- voal any information about these cases which are discussed by mutu- al consent and it is contended that the federal statutes governing the commission make it obligatory for a commissioner to be bound to see- recy on this point. The minority read the law differently and say "officers" and "employees" may be bound but not "commissioners' be- cause the statute makes a. distinc- tion between "olficers' and "com- missioners" by using the latter word. The minority say they can- not conceive of a situation in which a quasi-judicial body like the fed- eral trade commission can be de- prived of issuing dissenting opin- ions. This point may have to be settled in the courts if it is present- ed by the minority. If the minority does have the right to issue dissenting opinions then the new rules can be frustrat- ed because publicity can be given to anything that the minority deems necessary in connection with a dis- missal of a. complaint. Another point that is interesting in connection with the rule which would seek to suppress information when n. complaint is formally issu- ed is that these complaints will al- ways be accessible to the press and to business in general and while the commission may not take the initia- tive in publicity the information will be obtainable. The minority and majority have issued their viewpoints in public statements and it is known that the United States Chamber ‘of Como merce is to be asked this week to support the majority. Public opin- ion will have to decide the contro- versy in the last analysis and it will hinge not on the wording of the rules but their effect in actual prac- tics. It cases are dismissed involv~ iivg deception and fraud the min- ority will appeal to the public. If the cases dismissed involve no fraud or deception and are merely un- mlsunderstandlngs the chances are the minority will have nothing to say. should the minority be deprived entirely of the right of dissenting opinion under the rules. the issue may have to he decided by a clarification of the statutes by congress or by a judicial decision. the turf and has been lavish in his expenditures on the thoroughbred. Prominent though he is. his ill luck with Kentucky justice last year should have been a. warning to one and all this year—but it wasn't suf- ficient to keep scores of others out of the toils. Mr.Coc-hran tells of his experience with a bittreness born of deep re- sentment. It seems he had arrived at the track in a more or lessner- vous condition. He is always that way when one of his horses is about to run in a big stake. Not having anything of his own to steady his nerves. he found a friend with a. sit- ver flask. This he borrowed and re. paired to the old bar of the club house. where ginger ale and sarsapa. rilla had taken the place of the once unmatohable Bourbon and rye.

The owner of Flying Ebony and Coventry is a very mild and modest sort of man. He agreed to the ar- rest but he asked as a personal fa- vor that he be allowed to complete the crime by taking the drink. The old slenths would not hear of this. and hustled the millionaire sports- man out and hauled him all the way downtown to the heosegow. ‘ once there, Mr. Cochran pulled out a roll of hills containing some- thing like $3,000 or $4,000. and ask- ed how much it was to get. out. The cops told him there was nothing do- ing on cash collateral. He would have to get someone with property to go on his bail. "But." ~protested the disturbed turfman.

Grant .1: Company in June, 1919. and com- mented upon in the special auditor's report. has been the subject of cor~ respondenco and conference with that firm. Its representatives have courteously offered to open their books to the_troasurer's inspection but they have been able to find only part of the original documents on which this highly important trans- action was based. 'It is most union tunate that the list of the state‘s municipals which were to have been delivered to the firm is not available for checking against those actually delivered. The auditors report that the bonds which were delivered by the state had a then market vniuepf at least 810,000 more than that of the Liberty bonds received in ex- change. R. M. Grant & Company dispute these figures. Irrespective however. of any question of loss to the state. as to which correspond- ence in still in process. .the danger and impropriety of this method of exchange of securities is apparent.

Up As She Rolls Into Winnipauk -- G e t s Loud Greeting Commuters and other early risers along the Danbury line were pleu- antly surprised this morning by the really handsome appearance of En- gine 1007 as it chugvchugged its way from Danbury to South Norwalk, where the train was due at 6:55. Engineer Fred Lawrence and Fire- men Walter Goodrich were proud. too. They had "dolled" up old 1007 with an artistic eye. Black paint it had all over and its bolt heads. ex- posed pipes and other "trim" were slivered. 1001 came through this morning like a thoroughbred tpsslng its head in high spirit andwon time. So charmed was Frederick Heel- scher of Bier Hill with the neat ap- pearance of 1001 that he wanted to ride from Winnipauk to South Nor- waik on the engine. - Stationmaster Wood at Winnlpauk rubbed his eyes and declared: "Well. what do you think or. that? She's handsome!" Harry Bouton of Broad River call- ed out to the engineer: “Hey! What's the idea? Are they giving paint away in Danbury'i" But there was one sorrow.

"Engineer Lawrence and Fireman Goodrich should have had special dispensation to take old 1007 into the South Norwnik station this morning. Just to show the folks their handiwork."
