announced at the state mouse Tuesday
that major portion Of the report
was in and that the rest would follow
in short order. All matters of inter-
est, it is estimated are contained in
the first consignment of the report,
which is now in the guarded posses
sion of Frank A. Day, governor pro
tempore. He refused, in the absence
of the chief executive, to discuss the
report, but admitted that it was nearly
all in. The report will be submitted

Chief o'Connor is making an investi-

Minneapolis, ]. w. Walsh, J. Chapman
and John Dwyer, arrested Sunday
night for being drunk, could not re-

chased drinks. All they knew was that
the saloons were somewhere in st.
