Some Of the speakers wanted to give
Commissioner ~Bingham.a diamond studded,
gold headed cane with n gold and silver
serpent winding around 0the stick from the
ferrule to the handle. Others. carried
away by their enthusiasm, wanted to go
further and add a couple sets Of those

hard or soft boiled shirts indiferently.
Looie ARid sent in a letter in which he
said he would be only too glad to recognize
the Commissioner and his deputy ION the
