 The following is the language of Mir. Deans' minority report, which produced such spirited discussion:
 ''The caption of the majority report is Q misstatement on its face, because the re- port was typewriter before the committee met for the purpose of investigation. There are many statements contained therein not warranted by the evidence before the con- mittee, and there are some facts which were brought out by the committee which
 
 railroaded through the committee without proper consideration. The meeting was held at the Exchange hotel, where it was impossible to have access to documentary evidence. l therefore dissent from the majority report
