In his statement the commissioner

Commissioner Koiner denies point

cooperation brought against him by
his opponents, and defies the governor
or anyone else to substantiate a single
instance OF this nature. and takes the
eleventh hour attack. accusing the
governor OF the 'veriest hypocrisy.
The commissioner declares that his
course with relation to the united ag-
ricultural board as well as the dis
charge Of the duties imposed upon
him have met with the unan1mou -ap=

entertaining them with champagne and
beer. giving them small sums of money
and making loans when they were in
financial straits, obtained secret re-

Lieutenant lillian admitted that he
had furnished to Brandt the figures of

comrade In the army at one time and
he helped him out of friendship. He
said he had frequently dned at

The latter offered a substitute reso-
luton demanding that the council take
the matter up with the state corpora
tion commission and compel the rail-
roads entering Richmond to use the site
proposed, which precipitated consid-
cradle argument. Nobody made the
point that the corporation commission
has no authority to compel the roads to
use that station, but vne resolution met
with such strenuous objection that Mr.,
Dickerson finally withdrew it, and the
original was adopted, the signatures of
the members present to the number of
seventy five being obtained to the docu-
ment before the meeting adjourned.
