Board of Trade in that city, who are
''in~ves,igatiugn Alexandria county,
asking him to call a meeting of the AL

to call the board at any such request,
but said that if q constitutional numbsr
Of members of the board wanted a
meeting for any purposeh he would issue
call. A majority of people in this
city are of the opinion that the action
of the Washington Board of Trade in
this matter is a piece of arrogant i'm
pudence and say that they had better
look into the affairs of their own city,
which is admittedly one of the most
immoral in the country. They say
n~ine-tenths of the gambling done in the
county is done by Westinghouse, who
