H. H. Lyman is not too sure what Senator John Raines meant in his statement. Raines led him to believe that his statements were off the record. Lyman and others appreciate the work Commissioner Roosevelt has done enforcing the excise law in a city as large as New York, although there are issues with fake clubs and hotels.
