 It's False"

 Mr. William F. Rector was again ques- tioned at the beginning of the days ses- sion. He said what he did in securing rooms was reported to the higher autnori- ties, and volunteered in this connection the statement that fin tine case of every man purchased, it was necessary to report to MT. Clark
 He had not made such report himself, being "only a private" and not on such terms of familiarity with the "big guns as to justify his approaching them. He repeate the statement made in his ex- animation that apartments in the Warren hotel had been refused because there was no underground passage from. that build ing to the legislative hall, contending that MT Clark's managers desired such a pas sage.
 Once when Senator Faulkner tried to check the witness in his voluntary testi- mony, he replied:
 
 not interested in suppressing part of it, as you are.''
 MT. Faulkner brought out the fact that previous to coming to Washington MT. Rector had been engaged as an expert on the books of the Hennessy Mercantile com pany as a stockholder
 "Is not MT. Daily connected with that company" asked Mir. Faulkner.
 "I don't know" the witness replied. 1T was only after the cashier and bookkeep- er''
 Mir Rector testified as to MT. Davidson's bringing money over from Butte and leav- ing it in his charge for MT. Steele, he be- ing then employed by Davidson. He did not know the time it was brought. s Asked if he knew that Davidson had money in the bank, he replied: "No in deed, and there were lots of others that did not know It."
 Had Left Honey With Him
 MT. Davidson had, he said, left the money with him for Steele in an envelope. and he and the typewriter looked at it after MT. Davidson had left
 Money had been thus brought to the room by Mr. Davidson and left for Steele

 In another instance Black>h had said he had '1anded his fish inside of an hour" phe witness said that if there were in- constituencies in his testimony, it was be- cause counsel had frightened him so. He afterwards said this remark was lon the side and not under oath" When MT. Faulkner pressed him to know what part of the testimony was under oath and what was not. He replied: 'I am l just watching you to wink the other eye when you want to suppress anything This remark brought out reproof by
