New York. Dec mo doubt the
stock market to-day was no less pro-
fessonal than it was yesterday or hith-

That expression 10 printed for

Mr.. Pugh's record gives most en-

plain why he has failed to take ac-

called to his attention, or In mat

Why did Fred c. Pugh refuse to
issue a warrant for the arrest OF
Policeman Joe Daniels for the kill
