step backward in his report on the

denced today by his statement that
he was not afraid of any libel suits
which might be filed against him by
Mr.. Price or others mentioned in the
report. In fact. he said he would
welcome such action. because 1t
might be the means of developing
some matters not already uncovered,
This is a quarrel among the gam
blers,' he said brought about by
dissatisfaction of some of them in
not getting what they thought was
due. l have nothing to take back.
AS the head of the Department of
Agriculture it was my duty and my
right to give the public the result of
the investigation by secret service
agents into the charges which had
been filed up to the dismissal of
Holmes. The Secretary added that
he had given no consideration TO
Mr.. Prices request as presented by
his attorney, to withdraw the nm
just, offensive, and unsustained char
ges and implications. and that he
had reached the determination to
take no further action in the matter
He said that he would not communi
cate with Price or his attorney in
any way.
