WAsHINGTON, ID. c., March b
Commissioner Raum was examined be-
fore the House Investigating Committee
to-day. He was questioned as to his
connection with the Gypsum Mining
Company, and refused TO answer, say
ing that he would not answer any ques-
tions relating to his private affairs.
Mr.. Wheeler said there was no power
to compel the testimony and the matter
could be brought up later and II neces-
sary taken to the House. Mr.. Cooper
asked if witness had not borrowed
money on the endorsement OF all attor-
nev named Lockwood.
The witness said he had borrowed
$500 Of Mr.. Lockwood. In answer to
further questions, he said that he met
Lockwood on the street and asked him
for a loan of $500 for a few days. Lock
wood replied that he did not have 1t,
but could get it. They went to the Of
fee of John w. Thompson, President
OF the National Metropolitan Bank,
and witness got $500 on a note for three
days endorsed by Lockwood. He paid
the note and fifty cents interest at the
end of the three days of grace.
The making OF the note had no rela-
ton whatever to the promotion OF a
female clerk.
Gen. Raum said he had made speeches
in Mr.. Cooper's district before the last
election and tried 10 defeat him. A
number of old soldiers had called on
him with reference to pension matters.
He had taken their memorandum and
Jesse Weeks ian Indiana politi-
cian) had written the facts in
reference to each claim TO the pen
sion office. He had informed Mr.. Dun
bar, Mr.. Cooper'S Republican opponent,
that he would see that his requests
in relation to pension claims received
attention. He had given this privilege
to other prominent citizens in different
parts Of the country. The letters and
his orders in the matter were on file and
would be produced.
Representative Little, OF New York,
asked il the Commissioner had ever
given Democratic candidates for Con-
gress the privilege Of making special
claims, and IL the pension Office was not
in that way being used for political
purposes. The Commissioner did not re-
call any case in which he gave Demo
cratic candidates special privileges.
