SION was to urge favorable action on his

hearing was given on It before the Codes
committees Of the two houses. The only
opponent that the bill appeared 10 have
was Senator Elsberg, chairman Of the
Senate Codes Committee. The Senator and
Mr.. Jerome had quite a colloquy. Senator
Elsberg seemed 70 think 1t was a drastic
bill and would embaTTass honest business
men a. we'll a. the dishonest ones.
why, that is all foolishness, answered
Mr. Jerome. "No honest merchant will
be bothered by such Q bill. II Is only the
dishonest men who will fear It. An honest

Mr.. Jerome, remembering that that was
what both Senator Bracket and Senator
Elsberg had said in regard TO his Garfield
gambling witness bin last session CURLY
fYes, that is a legislative opinion en-
most propositions, but the Court Of APP

views
Senator Elsberg remarked that. despite
the District Attorney, the committee would
look into the bill, adding: we will safe
guard the interests Of the people and not
disregard them, such as I am informed
