GOAT" FOUND IN
 WHITE HOUSE EPISODE
HARRISON APPOINTMENT MADE BY TAFT'S EX-SECRETARY.
New YQfk Member of Congress Now CaH0a Charter Member of "Un-
 welcome Guest Club"

Washington, June 1.-The "gOat" has been found in the Harrison epi- sode at the White House, which re- suited in President Taft declining to see Representative Harrison of New York.
 The goat is former Secretary to the President Carpenter, who is now several hundred miles away.
 Carpenter, according to the White House version of the story, made the appointment for Harrison without consulting the president He did not know the New York representative was persona not grata with the chief executive.
 Harrison is being jokingly referred to now as the charter member of the "Unwelcome Guest Club by other members of congress.
 Both Harrison and the White House officials say the reason for the eXclu- ion of the representative from the executive presence was newspaper statement by Harrison in which he charged President Taft and Attorney General Wickersham with furnishing misleading information" to congress in the matter of the aute-dated re- Tort of the attorney general in the GIavis case.
 There has been much criticism of the administration along the same line as that made by Harrison.
 All Washington is taking sides in the matter and it appears the Harri- son case will become an important issue. Though Harrison is a Demo crat, the insurgents are supporting him because his criticism brought out the fact that Attorney General Wick orsham presented a report in the case.
