TO recall or explain her remarks. Upon her de-

Schwab in civil court where decision might
be promptly reached, and since then she has
peatedly asked for time in which to prepare her

She has at last complied with the first re-
quest and made statement under oath which,
after some little change, has been accepted by
Mr.. Schwab and he has withdrawn his suit. She
denies in explicit terms having any knowledge
or information sufficient to enable her to form
any opinion whatever of Mr.. Schwabs personal
professional repute, and disclaims having
made any such statements as were contained in
the cable dispatch. Her denial was submitted
to Mr.. Schwab's counsel and finally couched in
terms satisfactory to him before it was accepted
and the suit withdrawn.

present, thus throttling free expression. but
there were committeeman brave enough to speak
out and demand the withdrawal of Dick and

treasurer, declaring him innocent OF all knowl-
