Corrects Her Testimony.

Of her testimony before the commit

June 2, 1920.
''"Dear Senator Kenyon:
at think I made a mistake In my
testimony this morning which i
should correct.
EARLY in the liberty loan i made
an estimate Of my living expenses at
SIS a week. When Mr.. Glass came
into the Treasury at the beginning OF
the NTH loan, my account showed
that 1 had spent about $500 for my
living expenses in excess OF the
amount drawn, and from that time
on I received SIS O week. the same
being paid as salary, although this
amount was fixed on as an estimate
of actual living expenses.
4 II had entirely forgotten the de-
tails Of tho arrangement until after
left the stand.
Yours very truly.
"ANTOINETTE FUNK"
