While | saying that he had received $150 each | for “lectures” delivered last Summer, { the Alabama Demccrat denied specif- ically, that he had been paid by the Ku Klux Klan for addresses attacking Gov.

Curious as to what impelled the House to create a committee of its own to look into presidential and congres- sional elections, the committee also questioned Representative Snell, Re- publican, New York, chairman of the House rules committee, but the only | satisfaction it obtained was a blunt statement that the House's motive was its own business. $653,756 Spent Thus Far.

This showed that ex) tures thus far disclosed totaled 3,756 on rpenditures for Herbert Hoover were listed at $348.- 342.61; Gev. Smith, $100,308.52; Frank 0.

In addition to those already men- tioned, the list of witnesses summoned for today and tomorrow in New York included Charles H. McGlue of Boston, engineers’ committee; John Harris of Harris & Winthrop, Ne“;mYork, and Advertising Association and said it was used “to keep the association going.” Asked about a $75 check to the New Mexico Utilities Association, he sald this went toward making up a deficit of that organization. Another $100 check to the Colorado Public Service Commission was explained by Lewis as be ' having been used “to bear a share of | some convention expense.” A 8326 check to Elsie G. Belt, he sald, repre- sented a prize award for a paper on public utilities. Lewis said the professors whose ex- penses for attending the “educational meetings” had been paid by his com- mittee taught at the University of Col- orado, Colorado College, the Btate ‘Teachers' College and the State Agri- cultural College. The checks were sub- mitted by Healy as evidence and were payable to Charles C. Mierow. A. P, R. Drucker, John H. Cover, Willlam A.

The check was not pxfiuud by kl;zv]hm " Coming to another phase, Healy aske whether C. O. Ruggles of Ohio State University had ever consulted Lewis concerning equcation and public utilities. Lewis sald Ruggles had visited his territory last year, during which visit the proj tion of co-operation between the coll and utilities had been dis- cussed at a luncheon in Denver. D. C. Sowers and Hubert P. Wolfe of the Uni- versity of Colorado and L. D. Crain of the Btate Agricultural College were | named by Lewis as having been among group of professors who attended the luncheon.
