Mr.. Fielder, who was under OBJ
legation by contract and by his pro-
fessional duty to turn over the rec.
ords in the cases in which he had
been employed, was requested to
appear before the commission and
furnish it with all facts and evidence
that he had in connection with
these claims, but, as hereinbefore
stated, he refused to comply with
the request. We have been unable
to find any evidence or records OF
anything with regard to these out
standing claims, with the single ex
ception of the Richland Distilling
Company. which is located in Co.
lumbia, South Carolina, all of the
other claims being against non-resi-
dents of the State, and in that
claim nothing but the pendency Of
the action in the Richland county
courts hereinabove referred to.
The attorney general gave us no
information in regard to these claims,
stating in connection with one of
them that he had been cut off from
this source of information by the
termination of the contract with
Anderson, Fielder, Rountree & Will
son, and that he could not proceed
any further in the case referred to
unless the commission furnish him
with the evidence and facts upon
which to proceed.
The commission has, therefore,
concluded that all of the above men.
toned claims should be closed out
with the exception of that of the
Richland Distilling Company, which
is now in process of adjustment and
which we had hoped would be closed
up before this report to you.
AS will appear from our records
several petitions were filed with the
commission by liquor houses asking
for rehearing Of their claims, and
certain claims were filed by indi-
viduals for detective services and
salaries, all of which have been re-
fused.
A few claims incurred by and
approved by the former commission
have been paid by this commission,
as will appear by our statement of
disbursements. ."-C0lumbia Record.

NEW YORK, April 12.-President
Taft charged last night that many
persons who advocated the recall Of
judges, or the recall of judicial de-
cisions, are insincere demagogues, act
ing without sufficient knowledge of
the need for the preservation of the
constitution or its guarantees. Some
of the men who preach recall, he said,
were sincere but all of them acted
from desire to propose changes rath-
er than with any definite plan for i'm
provements of conditions.
The president was speaking to the
Union League club of New York. He
announced with emphasis that "Sen-
sitive and serious minded people Of the
country had been touched by those
proposals and that when they realized
that 'impious hands were likely to
be laid upon the ark Of the cove
nant' a profound protest was heard
from all thinking people"

the finding of this bottle indicates
