Members Of the Chamber of Commerce

1t was also learned this morning that
DR.. Parkhurst, who is out OF town, nag
written Letter TO- z friend IN ~ whiSh 'iSh
at the result OF the first weeks work
OF the Investigating COMMITTEES under
Mr.. ,Goff's direction.
When the Committee resumes Its work
next week. there will be number OF
witnesses on hand. II is expected, to
clear up certain points in connection
with Mr.. McClave's testimony. A large
number OF transactions In which the
Commissioner was, interested were gone
into, and II will require the testimony
OF lot Of other witnesses to get all
the facts properly on record.
Then, too. Mr.. Goff hopes and expects
to get S, n-in-Law Granger back again
before any of the other Commissioners
are put upon the witness stand. As n
matter of act, Granger never had an
opportunity to give his chief testimony.
and his examination Monday was really
only preliminary to the more important
Information which was to come.
Ihe little red notebook which. contains
the entries of several years Is chock full
of the most interesting, memoranda, and
as these were jotted down at the time
when Granger was still in the bosom of
the McClave family and enjoying his po-
sition OF influence as the son-in-law OF a
Police Commissioner. they are regarded
as most valuable evidence, no matter
what Granger's personal character or
reputation for veracity may be.
After the 'McClave testimony has been
substantiated as fully as possible. It is
probable that Police Commissioner
sN"ehan will be put upon the witness
stand.
All the members OF the Police Com
mission were asked for an opinion by n
reporter for "The Evening World" to-
day with regard to the developments In
police matters brought out at the invesu-
cation OF tie Lcxow Committee. The
new ,appointce, Charles II. Murray, was
the only one inclined to talk on the mat
