Lemon's indorsement of Commissioner Ra Paper and the issuance of the com- pleted files order. He said that his ebject was to show that the commissioner had favored Mr. Lemon in that order and that its issue was probably due to the favors given tne commissioner by Mr. Lemon. Mr. Payson objected to the admis- sion of the testimony with reference to the refrigerating company on the ground that it concerned the commissioner's private business, and the other matter be was opposed to because it would se the countrs inferences in advance of the facts on_which they were based. Representative Brosius thought the form of proceeding irregular and that ‘the testimony should not be put in. Chairman Wheeler was of opinion that a con- iderable part of it was properly admi . but said no snap judgment would be taken by acting while members of the committee were absent. In order to laya basis for an examination with reference to the indorsement of Mr. Lemon on Mr. Raum’s note, Mr. Enloe asked a number of questions relative to the completed files and thing new was developed. The commissioner said that the completed files order was issucd with the purpose of giving claimants the right to say that they were ready for ti that Mr. Morton would not under any stances allow his name to be ‘nection with a renomination. Within the twenty-four hours Mr. Morton assured an mate friend, a political leader, that be would accept the honor if it is tendered him. He said the matter was beyend bis control.

The rock of division which it had been clearly | oP thie'preerese ee nt thd cat carry apparent must sooner or later be struck in the course of the investigation was then encoun- tered when Mr. Enloe asked if immediately after the completed files order was issue jcorge Lemon did not indorse Mr. Raum's note for $12,000. The commissioner under advice of Mr. Payson that the committee had no right to inquire into Raum’s private business declined to answer, and then Mr. Enloe read for admission last year's testimony, in which the commissioner admitted that Mr. Lemon had indorsed his note. Mr. Euloe said he purposed to show that in- stead of the completed files order resulting beneficially to claimants it had resulted in Blockade of pension office business and also in great uniery benefit to Mr. Lemon and other attorneys in this city, and was a system of favoritism.

Mr. r. Raum—Well, they have usualiy offered some satisfactory explanation in regard to them, and where it was shown that there wasno inten tional misconduct on their part as a matter of course the thing would be overlooked.
