Chancellor Scott Replies to Charges.
From Tucson Post.l

Nd1SdS Oltl dt tilC JluiC lOCdi paper charges him with footing the School of Mines by selling to the Socorro Mining and Milling Com pany for $500 an engine alleged to have been worth $2,O00 has made reply in a letter to Governor Brodie, which has been given to the public. After discussing the matter in general way Chancel- Tor Scott explains the transaction in detail as follows:
 "I think 1t was the first time 1 visited the University after my ap- pointment as regent, l went out to the buildings to visit the president and look over matters. During that time when President Adams and 1 were going through the building we came to the dynamo. etc. inquired about the method of lighting, etc. He said that this dynamo was formerly used for lighting, but that it was done away with now, and that lights were ob- tained from the city electric light. works. l inquired about the en- zine, and whether it could be util- ized in running the machinery. He said 1t was a Westinghouse en- zine and that the University did not need it and that the other en- zines were the ones used and that this was not adapted to the work. He said that the dynamo and engine were for sale and that the price asked was $500. 1 simply replied that possibly it might be disposed of to the Socorro company, if they should need one. At that time the company had no building and had no need of the plant. Several months afterwards when the company had bought build ing and ordered the stamp mill and other machinery, l spoke of this electric plant to the directors at one of their meetings This, with the purchase of all machinery, was referred to the superintendent and general manager. Prof c. L. Herrick. 1 had no authority to purchase, and never did purchase anything for the company. One engineer was not in favor of a Westinghouse engine and the mat ter hung fire for some time.
 At one of the regents meetings the matter of the sale of the engine and dynamo was brought up. Fitch, Zabriskie, Ormsby, and my self were present. Whether Lay ton was 1 don't know. l told the regents I did not know as our com pany wanted to purchase both en- zine and dynamo, even if they did either. The records will show that the executive committee was auth orized to sell both for $300 or either for $50. l did not vote on the proposition one way CT the other. supposed the regents had the authority to sell the property (and 1 am not sure now but that they had) but did not wish to vote on it as 1 had reported the possibility of sale to a company in which l was interested. 1 really thought l was doing the University a good turn in having this prop erty sold. The price, $500, l sup posed had been agreed upon and understood by the regents before I was one, as President Adams stated to me the price asked. It was an open offer to sell. l re ported at another meeting of the Socorro directors the action of the regents, and it was left with Supt. Herrick to decide the matter. At

 requested me to write to the re
 gents to this effect. 1 think
 wrote either Fitch or Ormsbl tha
 the company would take the plan
 and requested immediate ship
 ment Knowing that the regent
 might not be acquainted with tn, company, l told whoever l wrote
 to that 1 would guarantee the pay
 ment of $500.
 II heard nothing abont it until
 returned ip July. when 1 found the dynamo and engine had beer shipped, installed, and the super intendent, Prof. c. L. Herrick, hat sent Mir. Ormsby the $500 to pa, for it.
 "The payment of this $500 is re ported in Ormsby's treasurer: account. That is all 1 know about the transaction and hadn't the least idea hut that all was correct and straight. 1 never got a cent for negotiating the sale, it could be called negotiation, as for guaranteeing the payment l thought that 1 was doing a favor for the University, and aside from any technical legal questions in the case, believe 1 did do it a favor The price paid for it as second hand machinery that had been used several years, and from the fact that both engine and dynamo were back numbers, and had to be overhauled before they could be used, 1 considered then, and 1 dc still, that the company paid all it was worth. At all events, l had nothing on earth to do with mak- ing or suggesting the price. sup posed that when President Adams quoted the price, the matter had been considered and settled upon. Had 1 had the least idea that the law was not being complied with in the sale 1 would have done en- tirely different.
 II have no disposition to shirk any responsibility but 1 resent emphatically any intent to do either a wrong or irregular thing. Whatever was done was an open book and records of the regents will show what was and how it was done and if the minutes were published, as 1 think they have been, the facts of the order and sale and price asked for both or either will show. The order was a general one, and open to any any one, and was made for several weeks before the purchase was made by the Socorro company. Anyone else under that order could have purchased as no option was asked or given. Of course it is all political-but it may be a mistake that demands atonement I leave that entirely with you. have tried conscientiously to do my duty as regent, and am con scious of absolute rectitude in all intent.
 "5o far as the machinery is con- cerned, the Socorro company would be glad 1 presume, to return 1t and pay freight to Tucson if the UDiver- sity wanted it back again. Al though 1 am neither officer or director in the Socorro company now, I feel sure the company is not so impressed with the bargain but that it will be willing to dis count its purchase. The company would much prefer to get modern machinery and let go that, that it
