Futile efforts were made to question Miss Burroughs on circumstances surrounding jhe report i made by the Cannon committee accounting for $17,000' of the $04,000 contribution of E. C. la meson, N(w York financier to Cannon. Chairman Nye, irritated, at one point reminded her that "one fact stands out, that there lias been a violation of the corrupt practices act. Do you accept that responsibility?" "I said in my statement," Miss I Burroughs answered, '‘thatrl did not I wl'linvlv "iolate the corrupt practices act.” , The committee indicated by several questions that it might take oilier procedure to punish Miss Burroughs and reminded her froqu< ntly that she was under oath. Nye read to Miss Burroughs a letter written Dy Cannon in September, 1925. sotioiting funds from Jameson and asked her if she could recognize the Bishop's signature. "I decline to answer,” she replied. "I will hand the letter to you and ask the question again," Nye said. Miss Burroughs looked at the | letter and said she had nothing to add to her previous statement. The committee d ! d not meet itn-1 mediately to decide what action! o take in regard to Miss Bur-1 rr. ichs, but Senators Dill, * Dem , ■ Wash . and Wagner* Dem . N. Y.,, told questioners the refusal to ’estifv would be reported to the see>- ( .tary of the senate after which the federal authorities could pi oceed with contempt action. A question was raised whether contempt proceedings could be start-1 ed unless at the request of the '•enate. Wagner said lie did not know, but believed they could bo. Bv permitting Miss Burroughs to testify today instead of Cannon, the committee apparently chose to make its test case against her instead of the Bishop. Can-; non. however, could be summoned i later and still L? made liable'to contempt proceedings. o TWO MEN WORK AT SAME JOB (CONTINUED FROM PACF ONE' while Rook lays claim to the office under an appointment by the twothirds vote of the board of commissioners at their meeting last Monday following the hoard’s action in declaring the office vacant at the conclusion of ouster proceedings against VHyde, who was charged witli malfeasance in office. The contention of Hyde is that the appeal automatically voids the action of the commissioners until there is final adjudication of the charges against him by the court to which an appeal was taken. Hyde still retains possession of the keys to the office in the courthouse and to the keys to the county garage. He was at the garage in the rear of the jail this morning and issued to employes of the department instructions for their work for the day. Rook, also was at the garage this morning and after the orders of Hyde were issued, Rook informed the employes that the orders were satisfactory to him and in substance that they might be considered also as his orders. o Collects Large Amount Indianapolis, May 7. — (U.R> — State funds aggregating nearly SIOO,OOO have been collected from defunct banks by William Storen, state treasurer, since he took office February 10, he reported. Figures in Storen’s office showed that $473,010.01 was due the state when he toolr office. Much of this will never be obtained, Storne said, because some of it lias been due for as long as eight years.
