the development of its railways. The reports
showed that in both fields there had been substan-
tial gains the marks set in previous years.
The report on foreign trade says in part:

ing to determine whether Guden perjured himself
in taking his oath of office unless he is asked 10
do so by the Governor The District Attorney
refuses to discuss the question as he says it has
not been called 10 his attention officially He does
not deny, however. that he has studied the testi-
mony with more or less care
Governor Odel in his memOra ndum accompany

authorities In iron and steel matters, being abso-
lutely in excess OF the producing cal apacitv of IN.
