Cost More Than ‘$5 a Word’ irl Boston Speech Boston, March 13.—()—Chairman Wickersham of the law enforcement commission Thursday interpreted the commission's prohibition report holding more comfort for the “wets” than the “drys.” He expressed surprise that “the most vehement criticism” had come from anti-prohibition sources, adding he thought “the ‘wets’ would have derived more encouragement from the report and the separate statements of the commissioners attached to it than the ‘drys.’” The 72-year-old commission chair- man included this statement in a luncheon address before the Boston Chamber of Commerce. Hitting out at various criticisms of the prohibition report, Wickersham asserted it was untrue that the com- mission’s conclusions and recom- mendations “were utterly at variance with the report.” He denied flatly statements that the dry law study had cost $500,000, or “upwards of $5 a word.” The to- tal amount expended upon it, he said, was $56,958.59, addition of overheard expenses leaving the cost below $100,- 000. Time Was Too Long The time spent upon it, he said, “has left us with too short a period in which to. complete with satisfac¢ tion the adequate consideration of the reports of experts upon other matters which are either now before he continued, “to «(Continued on page nine) FOUR MEN AT MINOT WAIVE EXAMINATION Man Suspected of Part in Bis- *. marek Bank Robbery De- mafds Hearing Minot, N.
