The Rotary clubs committee report
Is as follows:
I'VE, the undersigned. being a self
constituted committee of Rotarians
which to hand to the Salem Rotary
club the following report of our find
ings in the case of Rotarian John w.
Todd:
I'VE find that John Todd introduced
one Carlos L. Byron of timber fame to
various Salem citizens. and that he
told a number of them OF the informa-
ton on claims OF timber said Byron
had for sale.
''That to some Of them at least he
(Todd) told them they were taking
their own chances.
"That after the sale started in fair
shape Byron verbally agreed to pay
Todd $10O per claim on all claims sold
here, when holder of contract had re-
ceived his claim.
That from all information we have
ben able to get, Todd never received a
cent from Byron as commission.
That as soon as Todd discovered
that Byron was in the clutches of the
law he Immediately set about at his
own expense and on his own time to
recover all or anything possible for
those to whom Byron had sold con-
tracts.
THAT Tood found nothing but some
mining claims. which have been in
yestigated BY the committee and have
been found to have fair copper show
ing. with a value yet to be determined
and which he has transferred to trus-
tees in favor OF the holders of said
contracts.
That It is our belief that there Is not
now, nor never was, any criminal in
tent shown by Todd and that what
ever mistakes he may have made were
due to over-confldence in Byron, hav.
ing had previous knowledge Of success
ful claimants.
That we have not investigated BY
ron, but are content to let the courts
pronounce judgment in his case.
''That our interest in this matter was
simply because fellow Rotarlan was
Involved and we wish to get the truth,
no matter whether for or against him."
