KERBAUGH TELLS STORY
Builder Of Western Spruce
Road Says Pliny Fisk Got
Out, as He Feared Loss.

The value Of much evidence taken by
in the last two days will
depend upon what John d. Ryan. for
merly Assistant Secretary Of War in
| charge Of aircraft production. has to say
to-day when he testifles before the Con-
gress subcommittee investigating avia-
ton fraud charges.
At the hearing, continued yesterday in
the Federal Building, evidence was
sought, mostly IN vain, to support a
| theory that Mr.. Ryan's manipulation of
| affairs within his charge directly bene-
ited his friends and specifically the Chi
cago, Milwaukee and st. Paul Railroad,
| Of which he Is an officer.
II. S. Kerbaugh OF the contracting firm
of Seims- Carey- Kerbaugh was the only
| witness during the half day session be-
fore the committee members Representa-

Lear OF California and James A. Frear
o; Wisconsin. Their counsel. Meier
Stelnbrink did the questioning.
Mr.. Steinbrink, probing into transact
tons leading to the Kerbaugh FIRMS
construction of a railroad In the North
west timber lands, sought Intellectually
to draw from Mr.. Kerbaugh some proof
that Mr.. Ryan had influenced the build
ing of that road to the advantage Of the
St. Paul.
The witness explained easily and plau-
slbly how Pliny Fisk was frozen out" at
the eleventh hour and thereby lost big
profits, contending that the New York
bankers withdrawal was inspired by
fear that failure to complete the contract
might entail great losses. The contract

dent upon completion of the task. He
denied that the Kerbaugh firm had in
tentionally discredited Mr.. Fisk.
Explains FisIx's Discovery.
1t was pure coincidence, he said,
coupled with a breach OF confidence, that
led to Mr.. Fisks discovery that the Ker-
baugh firm had applied for a bond in
Identifying II against losses, because the
firms funds were deposited with Mr..
Fisk as the banking part of the combina-
ton. 1t was this act OF the Kerbaugh
firm which Mr.. Fisk had testified per-
suaded him to withdraw.
Mr.. Kerbaugh said that Mr.. Fisk was
needed by the Kerbaugh company to do
the financing and that when Mr.. Fisk
withdrew they had to find Immediately
other financial reserves. The War Cred
Its Board came to the rescue and ad-
vanced ss.500.000 he said.
Mr.. Steinbrink brought out that the
War Credits Board aid came so sud
denly that the Kerbaugh firm closed the
contract forty-eight hours after Mr.. Fisk
had ceased to be a partner.
As to the Kerbaugh firms motives or
incentives Mr.. Kerbaugh said I'VE were
not working for profit but wanted to do
something to win the war and were too
old to go into the army"
What did you give up? What did
you loser the inquisitor demanded.

Col. Disque virtually forced the Ker-
baugh firm to employ drafted soldiers,
the witness said.
DO you moan to say that when the
Allies were trying to break the linden

these soldiers on you when you didn't
need them. and that they enjoyed an

CARRYING FOOD
OVER MOUNTAIN
Must Go 5000 Feet High to
Get Supplies to Sections
of Montenegro

New York. June 21.-one of the
most unusual features of the work
of the American Relief Administra-
tion in distributing food throughout
Europe is the manner in which sup
plies are carried into mountainous
Montenegro. This is described in a
report just issued at the office of the
administration.
In order to get food into Monte
negro it is necessary to scale a monu-
tain 5000 feet high by cable ways.
Wagons, burros and pack horses are
then utilized in moving it into the
interior along roads which are all
most inaccessible and again by cable
over bridges destroyed during the
war. Overcoming what seemed to be
almost impossible transport condi-
tions the American Relief Admins
tration has kept up steady flow
of food to four centers where the
government is in control of distribu-
ton.

PROCLAIMS JULY l
BUTTERMILK DAY
Department of Agriculture
Hopes to Encourage the
Dairy Industry

Washington, June 21. = July is
National Buttermilk Day.
Buttermilk, the United States De-
partment of Agriculture thinks. is
one of the best drinks in the world
nutritious, palatable and full of
zest and vim. The man who drinks
buttermilk regularly and copious-
ly is doing a good turn for himself.
That is one of the purposes of pro-
claiming National Buttermilk Day.
The other is that the dairy industry
in the United States will be en-
couraged.
Buttermilk Day, it is hoped, will
remind many people of this drink,
introduce it to others, and be the
beginning of a greater consumption
the health and happiness of the con-
sumers and, at the same time, help
dairy farmers to develop production.
To insure an ample supply of but
termilk, both for homes and for ho-
tells and restaurants on July l, the
Department of Agriculture requests
creameries, milk plants, and other
dairy establishm ents to cooperate
in the plan to popularize the drink.
1t is pointed out that, while
straight buttermilk is an excellent
drink, there are a number of deli
cious combinations. Buttermilk lem
onade is obtained by adding the
juice of two or three lemons to a
quart of buttermilk, with sugar to
taste. ButtermilS may be combined
with lemon juice, orange juice or
eggs and sugar making frozen dain-
ties.

COX AUTO BILL
GETS TWISTED
Highway Commissioners Made
Liable to Very Severe
Penalty Clauses

The Cox bill designed to regulate
the sales OF second hand automobiles
and trucks and to punish thefts and
sellers of stolen vehicles has to be
recalled from Governor William c.
Sprouts desk because in the drafting
of some amendments a drastic pen
atty was placed upon the State High
way Commissioner even to the extent
OF sending him to Jail If certain cler-
zeal work in connection with trans
fers of cars was omitted in his de-
partment. The bill has been in the
Legislature for weeks and has been
amended several times, fault having
been found with provisions relative
to garage records.
Last week as a result of a series
OF conferences the bill, which had
been in the hands of the Governor,
was recalled and amendments made
in the House. When the bill was
printed it was discovered that the
amendments placed all the burden
or investigation of circumstances of
a theft or illegal transfer of a car
upon the commissioner and that he
was also subject to penalties for any
omissions in recording and registra-
tion. Another section of Importance
was found to have been dropped in
reprinting. Under the bill the COM
missioner is charged with the duty
of making record of the theft of
every car when he receives report of
a stolen car. Considerable data is
covered by this provision and it is
also required of the commissioner
that when an application for a car
which the records show to have been
stolen appears the commissioner
must notify the rightful owner, and
hold up new registration until an
investigation is made. Not only is
the burden of inquiry placed on the
commissioner. but there is a pro-
vision attached which makes him Ii
able to fine of form $500 to $1,000 or
Imprisonment from one to three years
for failure to carry out the provis-
ions. The owner of n stolen car is
to report to the commissioner when
a stolen vehicle is recovered.
Just how the amendments came to
be made up so peculiarly is not
known here, but no time will be lost
in recalling the bill when the Legis-
lature meets.
