At this session of the commission
there has been but one hearing in op-
en- meeting, and that was the case Of
the E. A. Saunders company, which
was set for continuance this after
noon. The only witness who has been
placed on the stand in open session
is Mr.. Chambers, Of this company,
whose eyes we're opened to the trans
actions between representatives Of
his company and the liquor agents
in this State. There were two execu-

at one Of these there was present a
witness for Clarke Brothers & Co.
There have been no settlement of
claims or judgments in any Of them
as yet. Some members of the COM

that things have moved along 50 slow

fact that books have not been produc-

to be another difficulty.
