Hooper Alexander. United States Attorney, also rallied to the defense of the bulletins Wednesday, declaring that they are doing a great deal of good and ought to continue. Mr. Alexander declared that the reason for the criticisms directed against the bulletins is not apparent, and ex pressed the view that the news col- nmns of the newspapers, where are recorded daih the actual happenings of the city and not diwusslons of theoretical remedies for more or les 1 * imaginary evils, should be subject to ti e same criticism as is given the I bulletins.
