Putnam said. in part:
The opinion Of an expert In the selection
OF books which others use Is not very safe
guide Most experts and specialists have a
fad and II is difficult for the specialist to
get the view of the general reader, as a rule.
Unfortunately some of the current reviews are
not very useful guides. It is not your OF my

clude books. but to select

YOU are not Identified with any antipathy in
connection with current political. religious and
social literature you will not be open to- the
charge of partisanship Do not turn over your
responsibility TO those who are not ACCOUNT
able to the public. 1t is not our business de-
nying. excluding. censoring. but selecting is
our business.

Was Indiscreet and
Thoughtless.

mitting lottery company agents to mutt
late a $500 winning ticket while it was
in his possession as evidence in the case
of John Perry.
Hodgkns has issued a formal state
ment of his conduct. He has taken the
position that the only criticism that can
be made is that he was 'indiscreet and
thoughtless." In his statement Hodgkins
makes no reference to the situation as
involving the possibility that an offense
against the laws of the State was COM
mitted in his presence when the evidence
was mutilated. Nor is there any explana-
tion as to why he failed to lay the mat
ter before the District Attorney after the
act had been accomplished.
The Chiefs statement, in part, follows:
Il freely admit that / was indiscreet in
the matter. 1t was done in a hurry, oc-
curing about 1910 p. m, and had l the
slightest idea that there would be a con-
test or any court proceedings certainly
would not have done it. Believing Isaacs
and Babbero TO be the only persons in
terested and their promise not to contest
our right to seize the tickets / consented
TO the canceling, but not the mutilation
of the ticket.
There was no motive or idea of wrong
doing on my part, the only consideration
being, Thank you and 1 court the full
est investigation, knowing full well it
was simply thoughtless act.'
The authorities are investigating the
case with relation to the bearing of sec
