by what rule of evidence, Mr..
Record. dc you put such a thing before
US? You know better than that,
George said Major Lent.
Mr.. Record replied that it was al
ways his aim to get at the point with
as little technically as possible. He
sal that he would later call the fore
mar of the Clark plant TO snow he
amount of stock on the spools II Mag,
1910.
Mir. Faulks asked the witness the
market value of the stock, but he
couldn't tell. Mr.. FaLlks thought the
board should take judicial notite of his
incompetency to value stock. The boar1
ruled that all items as to stock shouli
be omitted by Greenfield from the ap-
praisai.

MIR. Record.
mo, no; you mustn't compute any
thing in that fashion, interjected
Major Lent.
At ms point in a controversy be-
tween Major Lentz and Mr.. Record
Commissioner George w. Mccarthy
interposed to say that I'VE have hal
enough stump speeches"
Mr.. Mccarthy is the member of the
board who has the reputation of rarely
appearing at its sessions. The major
glared at him, but whether the major
was making a stump speech or not the
board decided that he was within his
rights in trying to pry out the infor-
nation he was after.
Major objects 10 Charge.
The major s%trenuously objected to
having anything he said called a
stump speech. and the board seemed
TO think that his point was we'll AIKEN.
Mr.. Record agreed with the major this
time, and remarked that he was per
fectly within his rights"

should grant the suggestion"
You don't appear to be willing to
grant me anything said Record.
That's where you got me right,
George. Nothing that would pay you
anything"

etc, not in either category that the
