EXIT COOPER.

Representative Cooper went before
the Pension Office investigating commit
tee yesterday to explain his connection
with the Hersey matter, AID subse-
quently made labored personal expla-
nation in the House. His explanation is
lame and weak. 1t does not explain.
He laid great stress on the point that he
had not accepted any remuneration for
ascertaining the status of pensi on
claims, nor profited pecuniarily by Her
sey's operations. This may be true, but
1t falls very far short of being full or
satisfactory denial. The worst part of the
charge still remains, and that is that he
employed n discharged clerk of the Pen
sion Office as his private secretary who
was engaged in the business of black
mailing applicants for pensions. and that
he kept this man in his employ after he
knew his character and the kind of work
he was engaged in. permitting the man to
use his name and influence in and out of
the Pension Office. Mr.. Cooper denies
that he received any remuneration for
the use of his name. If the truth were
known it is probable he had an under
standing with Hersey by which Hersey
was to act as his private secretary with
out pay, or for very small pay. in consid-

influence in carrying on his disreputable

REPRESENTATIVE CooPER's connection
with his private secretary's money max
ing scheme comes very near being a
criminal Offense. Cooper knew that
Hersey was using a forged slip, purport-
ing to be issued by the Pension Office,
for the purpose of extOrting money from
pension claimants. He knew that his
name was attached to these slips, and
was thereby contributing to the success
of Hersey's scheme. He knew that these
fraudulent slips had been printed here
In Indiana. He knew that Hersey was
doing business with Columbus firm
who were friends of his, and he knew
that Hersey was making money. If this
does not make Cooper accessory to a
fraud it comes mighty near it, Again we

Mr.. Stewart then proceeded to address
the Senate the subject. He was not

ton OF the treasury. Having cited
the figures as set forth IN the

the amount of gold in the treasury as sl25,-

tary of the Treasury would have to be au-
