The fight between Senator Stone and
Gov Hadley, of Missouri. grows hot
ter and hotter, instead of being "a small
political quarrel" as some OF the Mis-
souri, delegation at first described II to be.
The Senator last night issued a state
ment that is merciless arraignment of
the governor. in which he riddles his
opponent with the vocabulary Of highly
wrathful and almost vituperative man.
He stigmatzes Gov. Hadley's challenge
| to recount the ballots by which he CSena-
tor Stone) was elected as a disingenous
'effusion," made with "FaIstaffian blus-
ter. and the knowledge on Gov. Hadley's
part that such a recount could not be
had under the Missouri laws.
Senator Stone declares he would not
descend to the level the governor volun-
tarily takes for himself He charges
that if Gov. Hadley knew anything 10
vltiate his election TO the Senate he
should, as an honest official. have laid
the matter before the Missouri legisla-
ture and the United States Senate.
Senator stones Statement.
Senator Stones statement is as fol.
lows:

afternoon papers Of Tuesday published
what purpOrted to be some statement
made by me in the nature Of a reply to
Gov. Hadley's latest effusion. have not
seen these publications, and do not know
what they are in terms; but 1 say with
emphasis that any statement OF any kind
purporting to come from me as reply TO
Gov. Hadley is wholly unauthorized and
gratuIuous.
This is the first statement I have
made
Now as TO Gov. Hadleys last effusion:
He charges that my assertion that he had
delayed his attack on me until after the
ballots had been destroyed and all oppor-
tunity for investigation ended is an un-
qualified falsehood.' No, when l said the
ballots had been burned did not utter a
falsehood. but it appears now that l was

The President and his advisers have dis
covered that Congress has appropriated
no money witA. which 10 index and dis
play the returns from the corporations
tax
Congress, It IS true. did appropriate
10000 "for the expenses Of collecting
the corporation tax" but the President
has discovered a law passed by Congress
back in 1872 which ne cOnsTues as pro
hibiting the use Of any Of this money for
promoting the publicity clause.
The President intends, until this condi-
ton Of affairs can be rectifed. to regard
the returns from corporations merely as
internal revenue returns, and thus the
business secrets extracted from the busi-
ness concerns Of the country will be ac-
.cessible only TO the tax payer or its at
toTney. or 10 such persons as are au-
thorized BY the President.
The President put the entire situation
squarely up to Congress. The Acting
Secretary Of the Treasury has written
letter TO Speaker Cannon urging the neces-
sity OF the passage Of a bill providing a
$4,000 appropriat ton for carrying out the
publicity feature Of the law The PTesi-
dent holds that the intention OF Congress
when it passed the corporation tax was
to make the returns accessible TO the pub
lic. He regards the failure OF Congress
to provide specifically for this as an over
sight
Comes as Surprise.
The Presidents announcement Of the
nullihcation Of the publicity clause came
as a surprise. Corporations all over the
country have been objecting TO this fea-
ture Of the law
Considerable doubt was expressed last
night whether Congress viii be willing
to shoulder the responsibility OF fOistiag
this publicity clause upon the corpora
tions, now that an avenue Of escape is
open. One or two OF the leaders in the
House said last night that there is doubt
If the House viii be able 10 make an ap-
preparation under the authority contained
IN the corporation law. At any rate any
attempt to supply the necessary S50,000 IS
certain 10 stir up some discussion.
