"We have uncovered a bigger mess of rebates, in Sail Francisco already than we did In all our sessions In the east," said Attorney Marble today. "Yester day we announced we, were making In quiry Into 360 transactions In which we believed violation of .the rebate law oc curred. Today the number of such transactions is 614."
