Mr.. JONES is QUESTIONED
HE Goes Before the Investigating Com.
mittee and Tells About Relations
to Harvester Company.

Washington.-The nominations by
President Wilson of three of the five
members of the Federal Reserve
Board-Charles s. Hamlin, w. P. G.
Harding, and A. c. Miller-were con.
frmed by the senate.
The nominations of Paul M. War
burg OF New York and Thomas d.
Jones of Chicago have not been acted
upon by the Banking and Currency
Committee and probably will not be
for few days. It was stated that Mr..
Warburg would ask the President to
withdraw his nomination, but Acting
Chairman Hitchcock of the Banking
Committee telegraphed an invitation
for him to appear and submit to the
committees questions. 1t was -sug-
gested, however, that Mr. Warburg
probably would decline the invitation
and that this would be followed by
an announcement from the White
House that the nomination had been
withdrawn.
Mr.. Hamlin, Mr. Miller and Mr.
Harding take the oath of Office within
a few days and the work of setting in
motion the new Federal banking sys-
tenn can begin at once. The Secre-
tary of the Treasury and the Comp
troller Of the Currency are exof1cio
members OF the board, which consists
Of seven members. The five will con-
stitute a quorum to do practically all
preliminary BUSINESS
Mr.. Jones was before the commit
tee for nearly four hours to tell about
his relations with the International
Harvester Company and the New Jer-
sey Zinc Company, both so-called
trusts. He was questioned at length
by the members. No proposal was
made to vote on report to the Sem
ate on his nomination, but it is re-
garded as probable that II approval
is given it will be by a close vote.
Senator Hitchcock was authorized
to give out information secured from
Mr.. Jones. His report in substanc
was:
"Mr. Jones was asked about his
relations to two large business enter
prises, one of which was the Interna-
tional Harvester Company. Mr.. Jones
said he became director of that
company in April, 1909, purchasing
one share to qualify, at the request of
Cyrus III. Mccormick, an old friend.
He said he fully approved all the
actions Of the company since he be-
came director and believed that they
were proper and within the law. Mr..
Jones also announced he is in accord
with the company's policy and said he
had nothing to lose or gain by the
decisions of the courts in the anti
trust suit in the Harvester case.
Prior to 1897 Mr.. Jones told the
committee he owned and was presi-
dent of zinc company at Mineral
Point, Wis.

1t was rumored on the streets Tues

Werts had been removed by t1e goTer-

appointed to the place. he man
asked Col. Aull yesterday as to the
report. He replied t at if he lad been
appointed. he did not know It, and felt
sure he had not been or would have
known it. He said further that he had
net applied for the place:-The obesr-
yer.
The Herald and News lHan had
heard of tie rumor but had intended
to say nothing about it and We are
sorry that tie Observer should give 1t
BE dignity to mention it as 1t is With
out foundation in fact. COL Aull ad
even never thought about such posi-
ton. In fact he has said time and
again that there were two county +
fices that he would not nave, that OF
county auditor and t1at of county
treasurer. Not that we could not I'll
either one but they deal with a Work
that is not to our liking. The COVER
nor Las not removed the present aud
itor and he has not resigned and yet
there are people in Newberry county
who are industriously circulating the
report that we had been appointed
auditor. We are sure it was not start
ed by any friend of ours or OF the
present auditor and it was not started
with any good motive. Just how such
i ings get in circulation We have no
idea.
T.ere is only one county office that
we would care about and it is the one
that pays the least salary but there
are possibilities for work and dong a
service TO t. e children Of the county
and it is work that appeals TO US,
and that one we held for short time
and We think We can sag without the
appearance of egotism that we did
something and yet the people turned
us down wien we asked for an en-
dorsement of our work. We never
complained. 1t was their rg@t ana
sure it was no loss to us. II we re-
main in Newberry we may ask or 1t
again but We are making no promises.
AS for auditor or treasurer or sup
ervisor we do not care for any one
of them though they all pay more
money and require no more work
This scribe is not office hungry and
He never had one from which he made
any money. And he has the assur~
ance of his own consciousness that ne
ras given value received for every
cent he has ever received from the
