assistant secretary of the treasury, was
called Wednesday by J. j. Barker as a wit
nes before the subcommittee investigating
the alleged irregularities in the Office
of the first comptroller of the treas
ury. In announcing his residence Mr..
Coon said he was living in Washington
"very temporarily" Mr.. Coon said the
resignation of Barker was solicited because
the latter owed number of board and wash
ing bills. He had not heard of any fraudu-
lent Florida claims for SIG, $50, when the
resignation was offered, or he would not
have accepted it. The Florida claim was
afterward considered by Secretary Gresham,
and he thought Barker guilty of the forgery.
J. II. Day, the next witness, was called by
Judge Lawrence. He said he believed Bar
ker wrote the fraudulent claim.

Barker
NO sir; said you was d scoundrel,

Representative Milliken remarked that
Mr. Barker was ''not making up the next ad-
ministration."
At this Barker became impudent and in
sulting, and the committee concluded they
had heard enough concerning his character.
