'ALLEGE PAYMENT OF
 EXCESSIVE FEES

Seattle, Wash July 15.-A1leged pay ment of excessive fees to professional receivers was taken up today by the House Judiciary sub committee investi- gating the charges filed against United States District Judge Hanford.
 Nelson R. Anderson, who was attor- ney for the Seattle Credit Mems asso- citation in the Charles Knosser & Co.,, bankruptcy case, testified to alleged ir- regularities in Judge Hanford's court in connection with the case. On the com plaint of witnesses, he testified, the judge refused the fees of Receiver Slut cliffe Baxter and his attorneys. Later the circuit court of appeals cut the al- lowance in half. The witness was ques- toned concerning an address which he made at a dinner of the Credit Mems association in which he had told of a dry goods firm for whose assets a bid of 50 per cent had been offered and which after being under Trustee Sut- cliffe Baxter's control for six months, paid less than 10 per cent. The wit ness testified that in his address he had spoken of the Western Steel corporation bankruptcy case in which $50,00O was allowed the receivers, trustees and at torneys, some of the allowances being ordered before labor claims were passed on.
 The Heckmann & Hanson bankruptcy investigation was closed today with the testimony of Attorney Jerold Landon Finch. Richard A. Ballinger, whom Finch charged with conspiracy to wreck the estate of the bankrupt, was not subpoenaed.

What He Will Agree To

Colonel Roosevelt added that he is per- fectly willing to have the same electors on both the republican and the national progressive tickets as long as his sup porters do not agree that the entire elec- toral vote of state should go to Presi- dent Taft if the republican ticket should receive the greater number of votes. un- der such conditions any electors on the republican ticket who wished to vote for Roosevelt would be free to do so.
 To make an agreement of the kind pro- posed in his opinion would give the en- tire movement tinge of rerublicanism and alienate democratic support
 He took the ground that. having de- clared the nomination of President Taft fraudulent and having taken the com mandmept Thou shalt not steal,' as his precept he could not consent to a bargain with his opponents in the repub- lican party. His declaration was re- garded as final answer to those of his followers who have wished to lay less emphasis upon the new party ideas and support Colonel Rooseevlt on the ground that he was the rightful nominee of the republican party.
