§ Mr. SPEAKERI do not see any objection to doing so.
§ Mr. SHORTTI have seen this article. It contains gross misrepresentations with regard to the action of the police, but it is not possible to prosecute a newspaper for mere misrepresentations, and I do not contemplate taking any action with regard to the article.
