DIDN'T CHARGE FOR CONVENTION
TIME.
The following is also interest
ing:
@. Something was said about
your being here as a delegate to
the Episcopal Convention during
the spring. Did you charge the
time while you were here? A. /
do not think that l did. Not if
l came to the convention l did
not charge the time.
Mr.. Arthur was then asked if
he had anything he could bring
out, as he stated this morning,
as to the transactions of any
member Of this board or any en-
ployee of it, which was unlawful
or a subject Of criticism.
Attorney General Lyon, who
was present, also assured Mr..
Arthur that if he knew anything
against any member of the State
Administration now was the time
to make it known, and the mat
ter would be sifted to the bottom.
MIR. Arthur replied:
II have no charges to make at
this time"
When asked by Mr.. Lyon if he
had any charges, and if so why,
Mr.. Arthur replied:
II have not approved of every
thing which has done by the
chairman of the commission-a
good many things that it would
take me some time to state"
He said that he would bring
in minority report, covering
these matters" and he did not
think it would be we'll to state
these things now.
Attorney General Lyon again
assured Mr.. Arthur that if he
had anything to state in regard
to any illegal or improper act by
any member of the commission
or anyone else the Attorney Gen.
eral would sift the matter to the
bottom.
HAD BEEN SHOWN DIsCoURTEsY.
Mr.. Arthur was then Nked If
he had anything to statesagainst
any member of the commission,
their names being severally
called, or against Mr.. Stevenson
or Mr.. Lyon.
In regard to Mr.. Stevenson he
at first said he did not care to
say, but later he stated that he
thought Mr.. Stevenson had
made personal attack on him
in his report regarding the
vouchers that he had shown
him discourtesy. He thought he
should have been consulted be-
fore the report was submitted to
the commission.
Mr.. Arthur stated in answer
to further questions that he had
no other charges to make against
Mr.. Stevenson, and he was then
asked to specify what his OBJ
jections were to some of DR..
Murray's acts as chairman of
the commission. He said that
the first thing was the way the
fund was Observation-Disclosures he
objected to DR.. Murray taking
everything into his own hands
and running this thing as one
man proposition. He said that
he had made his objections
known at the time to several
members of the commission, and
that he supposed the protest was
spread on the minutes of the
meeting. He was asked if the
acts of DR.. Murray were not
passed on approved by the COM
mission, and replied that they
were. Asked if any of the
funds were placed in his (Ar-
thur's) bank he said there were
$40, 900 and that he did not de-
sire any more than this.
