BONDS ARE DUPLICATED, IS JOHNSON CHARGE Representative From South Da- kota Creates Sensation in House of Representatives DENIAL BY MR. MELLON Washington, April 27.—(By_ the A, 'P.)—The statement was made on the floor of the house yesterday by Representative Johnson, Republican, South Dakota, that it “will later be shown by official documents that there are provably hundreds of millions of dojjars of duplicate bonds in the Unit. ed States.” Prompt denial of the statement was made by high treasury officials, who declared investigation by Secretary Mellon of the bureau of engraving dis- closed there was no truth in reports of the circulation on a large scale of counterfeit government securities. Challenging the Johnson statement, (Representative Wingo, Democrat, Ar- kansas, member of the house banking committee, declared it was calculated to cause uneasiness in the country and that he did not believe Mr. Johnson ought to make it, unless he can back it up as the truh. Mr. Wingo express- ed helief tuat an investigation would show that Secretary Mellon in deny- ing “reckless charges” about the exist- ence of duplicate bonds “did not lie to the ‘people of the country.” (Defends McCarter. ‘As a ibasis for his charge, as to alleged circulation og spurious secur- ities, Mr. Johnson said that J. 'W. Mc- Carter, assistant registrar of the treas ury during the Wilson administration, “secured information in the course of his duties which convinced him that there had been enormous duplication of government bonds which had been printed by the bureau of engraving and printing and ‘had gone‘through the office of the registrar of the treasury.” “{ think Mr. McCarter took the rigat attitude when he presented the mat- ter first to a distinguished Democratic senator from my state and very prop- erly presented the matter to the a+ sistant secretary of the treasury,” Mr, Johnson continued. “He was very quickly informed at that time by the former administration that nothing was wrong; that there should be no investigation and that he should keep his mouth shut or lose his position, and Mr. McCarter, who had developed the fact that will later be shown by officia, documents, that they are prob. ably hundreds of millions of dollars of duplicate bonds in the United States, was discharged from service by his administration for presenting those facts to members of congress. I think a man who took, that attitude in the former administration was ill-advised in what he had done.” Mr. Wingo asked. “Does the gentle- ‘man say that a Democrat from his state called the matter to the sena- tor’s attention?” Mr, Johnson said: “Iwill say that that is all a matter of public record. I took personally all of this data down to the department of justice myself early in the year 1921 after we had tried in every way to secure action Arom the former administration. These detters that were written by Mr. Lef- fingwell, at that time an assistant sec- retary of the treasury, are easily pro- curable. I have them in my files and I-wil) be gad to Insert them at this int.” Didn't Bring It to Mellon, There was objection, however. Mr. ‘Wingo then said his “question was the date on which this gentleman brought this information to you.” “The gentleman sent the informa- tion to me in its real definite form in the fall of 1920,” said Johnson. “You did not bring it to the atten- tion of) Secretary Mellon?” asked Wingo, ff “I did not, T brought it to the at- tention of the department of justice, iwhere I think it ought to ‘have gone.” ‘Mr. Johnson was asked if he had any information as to what the check up at the bureau of engraving di- ‘vulged, “T nave no information as to that,” he repled. “That has not been a part of my duties. I will say that my in- vestigation, which was of an inde- pendent character and which not only procured some of the facts which no NOW DO MY WORK WITH EASE Because Lydia E.

ZACH IN Two views of Zach Wilcox and Hi CONTEST is 12 Foot Six Inch Beard: When he lets it out for sunning, and when he rolls it up to get ‘it out of the way. Just forty years ago—it was the last day of 1881 to be exact—Zacl Wilcox, then a resident of Butte county, Cali- fornia, hauled out his trusty razor, stropred ’er up and started to shave. Wow! The razor pulled. More stropping, and stil) it pulled. So Zach,-in disgust threw his razor away and exclaimed, “I’m never going to shave again. Let the ol’ whiskers grow!” They have—to a tength of 12 feet and 6 inches, That’s why. Wilcox, has. entered in the National Beard Contest, the win- ner of which is to get free .transporta- tion to Sacramento and return, a gold medal, and $50 a day for the six days of the “Days of ’49” celebration at the California capital city. Californians want the gent with the ongest beard on hand to show off his grawth during the good time. Lives in Nevada.

MAKING LONG TRIP BY AUTO Kentucky Trio Have Edmonton Alberta, as Objective Three long-distance tourists visited Bismarck yesterday afternoon. They were J. D. Reep, C. G. Bryan and W. H. Pond, of Fanklyn, txentucky. They left Kentucky three weeks ago, with} -d Edmonton, \Atberta, as their objective. They then plan to go to the. Pacific Coast, dawn the coast to San Fran- cisco and drive back to. Kentucky. They traveled in a touring car, which was, elaborately lettered. Two of the members of the party are mem- bers of the Korsair temple, Shriners, Louisville, Kentucky. Mr. Reep ip a cousin of Adjutant General G. A.

During the past few years he has ‘been retired, but he’s still spry enough, in spite of his 81 years, to ride around town on a bike. Zach’s best friend is his parrot which perches on the handlebars of his bicycle and chats with its master. It’s a big event in ‘Carson City when Wilcox undoes his beard. Crowds gather while he washes it out and lets it dangle freely: so the sun will dry it. | Lost Several Feet. “If ’d really tried to I could have had twenty feet of whiskers,” says Zach. “Nine years ago I gave it a stiff combing and lost several feet of it” ; ‘ 7 b What’s the advantage of such a beard? a “Makes a fine chest protector in the winter time” says its‘awner, “Maybe my growth is the longest in thé. United States.and maybe it isn't,” he adds, “But if anybody's got a long- er set of whiskers I’m going ow to Sacramento to ee it.” MINE OFFICIAL IS TRIED FOR TREASON CHARGE Jury Selected in West Virginia Court For Trial of William Blizzard - Charlestown, W.
