TAKE EXCEPTIONS
TO TAYLOR CHARGES
Inspector Declines to Serve on Special
Committee to Investigate Ex-
penditures of Agency.

Guthrie, Okla, June 29-Attorney
General Charles J. West and Governor
EC. N. Haskell both addressed letters
to Charles Taylor, state examiner and
inspector yesterday, taking serious ex-
ceptions to reference made in his re-
port involving certain appointees of
the governor and the attorney general
AS a result of the statement in the
report that several vouchers We're
drawn from the dispensary fund in
favor of Attorney General West, and
that the presumption is this money
went to employ detectives to assist in
enforcing prohibition, but that there
was no evidence from the books of the
agency to show that the money was
paid, Mr.. West has addressed long
letter to Mr. Taylor demanding that
he make a personal inspection of the
records in the Office of the attorney
and state auditor, and either substan-
tiate these assertions made in his re-
port or acknowledge that they We're
untrue.
Mr.. West demands in his letter that
Mr.. Taylor act on committee with
Governor Haskell and Justice r. L..
Williams of the supreme court to make
a thorough investigation into the al
legged connection of Mr.. West with the
indefinite accounting for expenditure
of money alleged in the inspectors re-
port.
Both Governor Haskell and Judge
Williams agreed to serve on the com
mittee but Inspector Taylor declined,
stating that he preferred to remain in
his Office and attend to his own duties.
Mr.. West will be out of town tomor-
row and in his absence the governor
and Judge Williams will make the in
vestigation.
Mr.. West said
THE statement in the report that
there is nothing to show the money ac-
credited to my account for enforce
ment of prohibition was paid is abso-
lutely untrue. The state examiner
could have learned as Lnnch If he had
consulted the records Of the state au-
ditor, where my receipts for every
voucher are on file and have been
from the beginning Of the session of
the second legislature. The records
in my own Office also will show for
what the money was expended"

tween New York and Brooklyn was
about to begin when lightning struck

nant flag which the New York team

mond into a lake and the game was

by lightning in a pile of rubbish
around an iron telephone pole Free
man threw pail of water on the fire
and fell back dead. killed by the cleo

SENATE CONCLUDES
DEBATE ON TARIFF
Discussion Shifted From Consideration
of Tariff to That of Internal
Revenue.

Washington, June 29. - After sew
enty days of almost continuous debate,
the senate yesterday afternoon at 3;45
o'clock concluded its discussion of the
schedules of the Payne-Aldrich tariff
bill.
Five minutes afterwards the senate
adjourned for the day to permit the
slight preparation in so short a time
for the debate on the corporation and
income tax questions, which began
soon after the senate convened today
at 10 o'clock.
The discussion probably will be
shifted Immediately from the tariff to
the internal revenue, and it is under
stood that the opening speech will be
made by Senator Cummins of Iowa, in
support of an income tax amendment
as part of the tariff bill in contradis-
tinction to the movement for a cor
poration tax and an independent reso-
luton looking to the imposition of an
income tax through the instrumental
ity of constitutional amendment.
The finance committees income tax
constitutional provision was presented
yesterday and the corporation tax
amendment was introduced some days
ago

From time to time Mayor Breitmeyer
has said things that led persons 10
whom he was talking to think that he

cede for a comrade who has been Civ

not care to be mayor again II he hat
to fight over every $1,000 clerkship In

as a declaration that he would not be-
come a candidate for mayor again.
Il will not have TO rum" said Mayor
Breitmeyer jovially when asked about
his remark. 1.-The people will make
me take the office again. Although
have been mayor but few months,
can see signs of that already. l will
not have to be a candidate TO be mayor
again.
II would not make another campaign
like the one made last summer and
fall, however"
Very quietly. a personal Breitmeyer
organization Is being perfected in all
portions of the city, The Bright-Mayor
club being the medium of this move.
It is expected that by July 81, when
the Bright-Mayor club holds its river
party and excursion, the organization
will be extended to all the precincts.
The aim now is to make the Bright
Mayor club the dominant factor In the
next Republican campaign, as the
