Tax Commission Continues
To Bring Them to the Bar

The time of the tax commission
was occupied yesterday in listening
to statements from President Pierce,
of the Arden Plaster company of
Clark county, and Robert B. Hender-
son, of the Pacific Portland Cement
company of Mound House, who were
cited to appear before che commission
and give reasons why their compa-
nies should not be charged with a
tax on bullion production. Gypsum,
which is the basis Of the articles
which the above named companies
produce, has been classified by the
government in the category of min
erals, but heretofore in this state no
bullion tax has ever been collected
from the manufacturers.
Following this designation of gyp-
sum by the government, the tax com
mission believed that the collection
of such tax was legal, therefore the
presence OF Messrs. Pierce and Hen
derson before the body
The matter was thoroughly gone
into by all the parties concerned and
at its conclusion an agreement was
reached by which the cement ard
plaster companies will with the year
1914 begin paying into the treasur-
les OF the counties in which they op-
crate the sum of 81 400 in taxes.

CRAFT CONFESSION INVOLVES
PROMINENT NEW YORK MEN
Mcclure Tells His Story to District
Attorney acknowledgements
National Leader, Norman Mack,
One of Those Implicated

NEW YORK, Nov. 2O.-George H.
Mcclure of Syracuse, pale and often
weak of memory, whispered corro-
boration of charges made by John H.
Hennessy AGAINST grating politicians
in a relentless three hour examina-
ton this afternoon by District Attor-
ney Charles Whitman. Mcclure was
the sole witness today in the John
Doe inquiry, through which Mr.. Whit
man is seeking to bare corruption
among Democratic and Republican
collectors OF campaign contributions
from 800 or more contractors on state
barge, canal and highway work.
Hennessy, investigator of graft for
Ex-Governor Sulzer, sat in the court
room as Mcclure testified and heard
the district attorney force the unwill-
ing witness to confirm charges Of
corruption made by Hennessy dur.
ing the mayoralty campaign in New
y ork City. OF none of these charges,
however, could the witness speak of
his own knowledge They had come
to him in the gossip of the contrac-
tors and the small talk Of politicians,
or, as McGuire's lawyer said, ''by
the one line wireless telegraph route.
Mcclure Corrects Mistakes
Although McGuire's memory had
apparently weakened much since he
collapsed on the witness stand last
week, when forced to admit the fall
sity of previous testimony, he recall
ed that he had made mistakes" when
on the stand before. These he cor
rected by reading into the record a
twelve page typewriter statement,
in which he flatly contradicted much
Of his previous testimony, especially
his denials of having told Hennessy
anything concerning the alleged sand
bagging" Of contractors.
What Mcclure had heard included
charges that fOrty-three contractors
had been forced to make contribu-
tions to politicians in 1912 and that
