pliny Fisk Denies Seeking
Aid of McAdoo to Get
Contract for Hauling
Timber in the Northwest
Got Third of $4,000
Anaconda Copper Attorneys
Agent Is Put on Stand
Here; Ryan To Be Called

Two dramatic incidents marked the
opening here yesterday of the House
investigation into the construction Of
a railroad in the State of Washington
during the war for the purpose of
carrying spruce logs to the seaboard
for airplnre construction. The inyes-
tgation is being carried on by a sub
committee consisting of Representa-
tives James A. Frear, of Wisconsin, and
Walter W. Magee. of New York, Re-
publicans, and Clarence F. Lea, of CAL
ifornia, Democrat, in the Federal
Building.
The testimony already taken by the
committee in other cities shows that
the government built this railroad at
a cost of S4,OO0,00O when all the spruce
needed could have been hauled over a
ffteen-mile road that would have cost
about s35O,000.
The first of the two incidents arose
during the examination of Pliny Fisk
member of the banking firm of Harvey
Fisk & Son. He had just complete
the story of his connection with the
deal. under the questioning of Meier
Steinbrink, up to the time he was closed
out of the contract.
Denies He Sought McAdoo
AS he finished, Congressman Magee
took up the questioning and asked:
"Mr. Fisk. during the hearing in
Seattle, NJ. ]. kerrigan formerly
Mayor of Portland, Ore), testified that
when the life of tn proposition was
in the balance Fisk went to Secretary
McAdoo and said: "BIl'. / am vitality
interested in q contract tor getting out
spruce in the Northwest which I've
simply got to have. The skids have
been creased for the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & st. Paul Railroad. You and
have lived together, died together, been
resurrected together, and gone through
hell together You have got to hclp
me put this through."' Is this true ?"
Rising to his feet. Mr.. Fisk replied:
II denounce that as an unqualified and
malicious falsehood." Then, in re-
sponse to further questions, he said
he had never sought Secretary Nc
Adoo's Intervention in the matter.
The second incident developed at the
conclusion Of the days hearing. Rep
resentative Frear, chairman of the sub
committee. suddenly called stenog-

Further questioning elected the in,
formation that the stenographer would
turn in his notes to Mr. Evans. He
said he had received no personal in
structions from John D. Ryan.
Pliny Fisk testified that under the
contract that was verbally arranged be-
tween himself and the Stems. Carey
Kerbaugh Corporation he was to re-
ceive half the profits from the venture
and was to put up bond for S50o,0oo.
Before the deal was completed the lat
ter corporation approached Baltimore
bonding company and sought protection
from Harvey, Fisk & Co. This move
resulted in Fisk Withdrawing from the
proposition.
Settled for $18,334
He later said he had accepted rs set
tlement one third of $4,000, and the
$4,000 premium he had put up for the
bond. The other two thirds Of thS
sum was divided between John Cain
and Franklin Helm, two other men in
terested in the proposition, and who
are alleged to have been frozen out.
Helm, who testified earlier in the
afternoon, said the contract for the
railroad was changed after John D.
Ryan became head of spruce produc
ton. 1t was finally closed in the Seims,
Carey Kerbaugh Corporations name,
and every body else was closed out.
He testified that Seims had several
conferences, and finally suggested that
his corporation give $150,0o0 to close
the matter. II told him to 60 to hell"
said Helm. He testified he called Carey
a yellow dog, but that Carey left the
room without replying.
The sub committee will continue its
hearings through the week. Chairman
Frear said last night that officials of
every company concerned would be
called in an effort to get to the bottom
of the deal John d. Ryan has been
asked to appear before the committee
tomorrow morning.
While here the committee will also
inquire into the reason for the eXonera-
ton of Colonel E. A. Deeds, of the Air
Service, without trial by the Secretary
If War, after the Hughes investigation
had ended in recommendation for that
officers court martial.

Drama
"Palmy Days." With Lackaye.
Has First Performance at
the Playhouse
By Haywood Broun

There was One-Eyed Conover and
Fargo Bill and Texas and Kaintuck and
a bloodhound and revolvers enough to
go round last night when "Palmy Days"
was produced at the Playhouse. Mr..
Augustus Thomas has gone back to the
manner of "Arizona" in his new West
ern melodrama. And yet not quite the
earlier manner, for, as we remember
"Arizona," the new piece is perhaps
less thrilling, but ever so much richer
in humor. And, in spite of number
of theatrical situations which are
familiar standbys, "Palmy Days" has
an undeniaby appealing quality Of hu-
manity. 1t has what might be called
a heart interest, or even Harte in
terest, for the local color is rich and
abundant. Now and again this same
local color clogs the wheels of action
for minute or two, but as a rule the
story is told simply and swiftly.
1t is not a story which requires
much retelllng since it is compounded
of such elemental ingredients as a
long lost daughter and a male parent
restored at precisely the correct mo-
ment. Yet there is much that is fresh
and inventive in the manner in which
the old tale is told. In particular, the
second act is an engaging bit of stage
craft with a portion of travelling show
and its ancient jokes and banjo tunes
and clog dances set into action of the
story. The play is excellently cast
with single exception. The blood
hound was most obviously police dog,
q breed which we believe was not
known in the mining camp days of
California. More than that, we sus-
cause complications with the Actors
Equity. The dog we think could hardly
qualify for membership in the union,
for everybody knows what Governor
Coolidge and President Wilson and
others high in authority have said
about the propriety Of the police affili-
ating with the American Federation of
Labor
Fortunately, however, the miscast
animal plays only minor role. The
burden of the piece falls upon the
shoulders of Wilton Lackaye. who gives
beautiful performance as an old
miner, around whom cling tags of his
early days as menial follower of
Shakespeare a quotation to fit almost
every situation which arises in the
mining camp. He tells with great gusto
that his chief duty with Forrest was
to keep the many women who pursued
the star at their proper distance and
of the tragic night upon which he was
given a line, There is gentleman
who says his name is Stanley who
waits without" and of how the eye of
the star and the glare of the footlights
unnerved him, and he could only eX-
claim, "There's lady downstairs"
1t is a very rich and complete per-
formance which Mr.. Lackaye gives in
marvellous makeup which constitutes
cOmnlete diSpuiSe And this 1iSrlliSp
is more than external. We have been
accustomed to see Lackaye as Svengali
and in other sinister and forbddng

and helped him to make his plans. He
said he got into the building after of
flee hours and with two aids succeeded
in removing the contents of Coles
desk.
The papers had passed through sew
to the present commission, he said. In
response to a question by John B. Cole

The witness said he was not sure
whether the Alfred E. Smith mentioned

signature Of Governor Smith.
