Wickersham of the law enforcement _ commission among its officers. He read a part of it in the senate late yesterday, appended a few re- marks of his own, and promised in the near future he would have still more to say on the subject. In the meanwhile he is particu- larly anxious that Wickersham see the communication, and hopes that “at an early date he will be ready to advise us how to step these violations of the liquor law.” Is Most Exclusive The club in question is the Century association, one of the most exclusive *|in New York city.
