facilities made 1t wholly impossible
for the committee itself to conduct
investigations throughout the thou
sands of counties and precincts in
the 48 States Of the Union, but every
complaint which came to the COM
mittee or its members from any
source whatever was given careful
and thoughtful consideration. The
committee membership handled
literally hundreds Of such COM
plants, covering not only every
phase Of the work we were author
lied to do, but going far afleld and
directing attention to matters of
State or local concern concerning
which there was no power whatever
vested in the committee.
80 Specific Complaints Probed.
AS I suggested a few moments
ago, scores Of efforts were made to
induce the committee to send its
agents into States and sections
with little or no basis or justifica-
ton in the hope that the attendant
publicity would initiate against the
interest Of some rival candidate or
party. The committee ordered and
undertook investigations in 80 spe-
cif1c complaints which seemed to
be based on apparent factual foun-
dation sufficient to warrant COM
mittee action. Some of these in
vestigations were In connection with
pre-primary and pre-cOnvention
activities and some Of them were
instituted and carried on in connec-
ton with the fall campaign pre-
ceding the November 5 election.
Several of these investigations took
weeks of time. Committee agents
and investigators went into 18 diff
ferent States and in several of these
carried on their work in relation to
several different complaints and on
various occasions.
The committee also, through sub
committees of its own membership,
conducted extended public hearings
in nine instances. One of these
hearings was conducted by a SUBJ
committee consisting of Senators
Hill and Reed in Delaware and
embodied the taking of testimony
In both the cities of Wilmington
and Washington. This same SUBJ
committee conducted public hear
ing in the State of Illinois and in
Chicago. A subcommittee consist
ing of Senators Adams and Tobey
conducted. over a period of weeks
an extended public hearing in the
State of New Jersey, investigating
charges OF irregularities In the
county of Hudson and in severa
coastal counties of that State. The
chairman of the committee. with
such members of the committee as
were available, from time to time
and acting as a subcommittee, con-
Quoted six public hearings in the
city of Washington and which
hearings covered a wide and varied
field of investigation, study and
testimony.
Grand Juries Empaneled.
Preparations were made for a
subcommittee public hearing in thu
city of Philadelphia, and the ground
work for the hearing was laid by
the labors Of the committee investi-
gators, but a Federal grand jury was
empaneled to investigate charges
of election frauds prior to the

the records showed an output of
1882 1891 bicycles. In the years i'm
mediately preceding 1899, bicycle
riding enjoyed great popularity. No
census figures on production are
available, however, for this period.
So it is possible, the Census Bureau
pointed out, that production for one
or more years in the last decade of
the 10Th century may have exceeded
the 1899 output.
After 1899, the production of
bicycles dropped sharply. In 1904,

Picking up the loose strands of a
busy week:
Some men are born fight man
ayers. Others are born stupid or
greedy fight managers. In which
classification Bill DAILY belongs I
won't attempt to guess, but his
action in tossing Pat Comiskey at
Max Baer must be acclaimed as
the greatest blunder since the in
vention of gun-powder. When DAILY
says his Irisher was fully sea-
soned' he must have meant it the
same way a chef does when he
shoves a turkey into the oven i.
Comiskey was young, willing and
had a punch. It wasn't his fault
that he had been knocking over
a bunch of boys named Marmaduke
while Baer was cutting his teeth
on the Schmelings, the Cameras,
the LeVinskys, the Braddocks, the
Galentos and the Louises. Even
Mike Jacobs was shocked to his
mailorder molars when he saw a
fine drawing card cancelled for
the lack of few tough fights 6.
If you have any odd bits of
old scrap iron around the house,
don't call the junk man. call Del
Baker, instead. and he'll probably
build you yacht or sewing ma
chine. After his work with the
Detroit Tigers the past season I
don't doubt a bit that this modern
Merlin could do it s. If he isn't
miracle man he'll certainly do
till the real thing comes along E. :.
Last season Detroit finished the
American League race in fifth
position. 2612 games out of the lead.
Baker put a catcher on first, a
first-baseman in the out-field and
a fourleaf clover in his wallet.
