says he does not know much about
the operations bf II. o. Havemeyer.
He could not help knowing about
the weighing frauds, for that
was his line of business. but the
general management Of the company
was In Havemeyer's hands and he did
not tell very much even to his directors

While the young men and women of
this class IN the main regarded their
obligations seriously. they were prone
to impulse and often to recklessness.
All had their ideas of honor and chiv
airy and a certain independence in
prscticing them.
Colonel LIE Grand of Mississippi
called colonel by courtesy-was one of
