The Poole-Schantz and Burchard reports take 8! issue with the Fact Finding report and the Lund reports. The joint committee of ‘the legislature should tear the lid off and get at the truth. When reporting back to the leg- islature, the committee should be able to show that one of the reports is correct; the others false or all of them in error. This special session has heen called to ascertain the real facts in regard to the conduct of the mill. The people of the state will be satisfied with nothing less—there will always be doubt if the legislature does only a half job. HICKMAN SAYS PROVIDENCE DIRECTED HIM Slayer of Little Marian Parker.
