Justly demanded by public opinion. Mr. Gould
had told Mr.. Jesup without reserve that me
would rather have the entire receipts of the

than have dollar of them tainted with
gambling or wrongdoing of any kind"
Soon after my interview with Mr.. Jesup
attended the executive committee meeting OF

submitted for their approval the order he had
already promulgated, stopping on his own re-

by the committee, but il is only just to Mr..
Clowry to say that the initiative was taken en-

stated that I any one else prompted this
action, such statement is without truth. L
can only repeat that President Clowry in the
first instance as we'll Mr.. Gould and Mr..
Jesup deserves the credit, in my judgment, for
having done with such promptness what was
properly demanded by public opinion.
