he was member of Psi Epsilon and
Skull of Bones. After he graduated
from Yale in '8S he went to Harvard
and received his masters degree in

welt took him from lucrative private
practice to make him United States
district attorney for the southern dis
trict of New York. During the three

LEON M'CORD HAS
 NOTHING TO ADD
Will Cooperate With Governor in Investigation of the Recent
 RumOrs

Leon McCord, associate member or the railroad commission, and one of the four gentlemen alleged to be connected with the Alamo Gas and oil company, the ai- legged operations of which are to be in- vestigated by the governor next Thurs day in Birmingham, spent yesterday In the city
 MT. McCord, however, explained that he was in Birmingham on personal busi- ness, and that he had nothing to say for publication concerning the Investigation
 "As stated to the governor Tuesday in my letter in answer to his communica- tion," said MT. McCord, ''I welcome the investigation, and will heartily cooperate with the chief executive in getting to the bottom of the rumors.'
 Other. than the visit to Birmingham of MT. McCord, nothing occurred yes- terday throwing additional light on the situation. Col. F. G. Bowman has not returned from his trip north. Those in Gividuais who are said to have purchased stock in. the company have steadfastly re- fused to make statements.
 There was an interesting rumor yester- day to the effect that Charles E. Mccall, chief examiner of public accounts, was
