sistant commissioner, but when Welch
returned to the office the next day he
wrote the letter caucelling the license
She had never been able to secure u
license and has none now Y. G..
Chambers. a friend of her father, had
gone TO Welcn about the matter but
on the stand today he said he had
not been able to secure the license for
Miss Hasley.
With testimony relative to the
charge that A. l.. Welch, insurance
commissioner. had paid Miss Harriet
Wells 500 a month as an emplOye or
his office when the appropriation was
for only SS3.33, the state today closed
its side of the Welch case.
Miss Wells was employed in the Of
flee of the commissioning as stenog-
rapher and license clerk The time
inquired about and for which salary
had been paid was from July. 1913, to
July, 1914. Some months the records
showed that she had been paid 500
month and others SS333 month.
During the whole time she drew
s1,100. When she went to work her
salary was paid under a certain fund
and designation, but during the time
she was in the office the legislature
changed the fund and designation OF
IL. 1t was shown that she continued
for three months to be paid errone-
ously. but that the correction OF this
was made in the third month.
Chief Clerk Whittinghall Of the au-
ditor's office said that when the
claims of Miss Wells came in Welch's
attention was called to the way they
were made out and the amounts. II
was Welchs opinion that fund
known as that for extra help which
was $1,000 for year could be paid
at the rate Of 500 a month and then
suspend the employe the other two
months. When his attention was.
called to II, however, Whittinghill said
he advised that the claim be made out
so as TO come under the extra help
clause. Welch said that he would be

sorry to lose as efficient help as Miss
Wells, that she had told him she could
not continue at the lower salary She
formerly was paid 800 a month under
an old law.
Had To Have way.
you had to figure out some way to
pay that 500 a month"; asked the
house managers.
Yes, that is about the way" said
Whittinghill.
Mrs. r. II. Sturgeon. employed In
the summer of 1913 in the commits
sioners office, said she mentioned the
matter Of the change in the appro-
priations for Miss Wells position, and
that her services were terminated. Her
position was not a permanent one,
but she had been told, she said. that
her work was not quite completed
Testimony relative to the $500
paid T. j. McCombs. for actuary work
in the office Of the commissioner, was
presented to the court by the prosecu-
ton, to which there was no cross ex-
animation. II was shown that during
the years 1914 and 1915 as much as
$3.50 was paid McCombs. The last
$3.50 was paid in the present year, the
S1,500 representing the appropriation
made for that purpose during the
previous year.
II was charged that this amount was
too much for such services. on
Wednesday the defense put on w. j.
Clements OF Los Angeles. Calf. who
stated that he had been In the life in
surance business for many years. and
that ne thought S25 a day was the
usual fee for actuarial service. Nc
Combs had made an examination OF
the company represented by Mr.
Clements and this was the fee charged
in that case. Clements said that while
he understood the insurance business
he could not make an examination OF
