fee, answered some Of the criticisms
Of his connection with The defunct Co
lumbia Bank ana Trust company at
Oklahoma city yesterday He said in
part:
- did buy from ar individual some
stock in the Columbia Bank and Trust
company, for which / gave him three
notes. One of these notes for 10000
which Is amply secured, Is now In the
Columbia and will be paid before il
natures. the note having been sold to
me by the payee The statement that
the state treasurer had something like
one-half million dollars in the bank
is untrue The state treasurer's bal
ance In the bank was S1S9,000 seeur-
ed by state warrants, municipal bonds
and farm loans amounting 10 S196000,
Today the state treasurer has not one
dollar IN the Columbia, as Commits
sioner Young took up our securities
and gave us a check for our balance.
AS treasurer of the banking board /
had $4,000 in the Columbia secured
by surety bond of $4,000 and $27-
600 IN municipal bonds The surety
company paid the bond and the muni-
clpal bonds were sold and ! have not
one dollar OF the funds Of the state
banking board on deposit in the Co
lumbia.
In answer to the charge that he owes
the bank $4,000, Mr. Menefee says
he owes no notes excepting the one
mentioned above; that he owns no
other bank stock; that he was not a
borI Jwer in the campaign and that
when be was elected state treasurer
he did not owe dollar but was con
nected in an official capacity with one
of the strongest banks in the state.
When the bank failed Menefee and
members Of the banking board inform
ed the press that there was 1000 Of
the guarantee fund on deposit with
the bank, but Menefee's statement to-
day places It at $4,000 This makes
the total state deposits in the bank at
the time OF the failure s455,000 Of
which 900 was deposited BY the
school land commission and s265,OOO
by Menefee as state treasurer, and

New York. Nov. -Battle-scarred
Tammany. which elected mayor
Tuesday, but lost a city, took up yes
terday the gloomy work Of setting its
house in order for four years Of avow.
ed anti-Tammany government An
analysis shows that the election, that
resulted in the defeat by the fusion
forces of every important Tammany-
democratic candidate below the mayor
was more of a victory for the anti.
Tammany democrats. who had lined
up with the republicans under the fu.
sion banner, than for the straightout
republicans.
Anti-Tammany democrats, elected on
the fusion ticket, viii be in absolute
control of the. eitys purse strings for
four years. They will have a clear
majority in the board of estimate and
apportionment which has the right
Of spending more than a billion dollars
of the city's money IN the next -four
years.
Il was rumored today that the at.
tempt to create a new order Of things
for the New York City democracy al
ready was under way. Charles +
Murphy, who succeeded Richard Gro.
ker as Tammany leader. made a for
NAL dlsavowal of these nmors. at the
