ABERDEEN GIRL At
SENATE INQUIRY
TELLS HOW GIRL INTERNAL.
REVENUE EMPLOYEES WERE
ASKED TO GIVE MONEY

Chicago, Sept. 14.-How girl en-
ployes of the internal revenue office
at Aberdeen, S. d., were solicited to
contribute to a democratic campaign
fund was described today to the SEN
ate committees investigating cam
paign expenses by Miss Eunice Coyne
a reporter of the Aberdeen Daily
News. She said the girls were ask
ed for $40 each by E. M. Waterbury
of Centerville, S. D., who came to
Aberdeen and described himself as
an agent of Charles Nee, father of
j. Walter Nee, revenue collector at
Aberdeen. Miss Coyne said the girls
were also told that Clarence Nee
was chairman of a statewide organ
ization engaged in collecting demo-
cratic funds.
According to Miss Coyne the first
information on the occurrence came
through a letter received by Miss
Marion Armantrout, a stenographer
which said that "office holders
were being asked to assist the demo-
cratic treasury She identified a
published copy of this letter but
said the original was refused her by
Miss Armantrout's mother.
The witness named Ida Young.
Marion Kennedy, Sigrid Holland
Jessie Burchard. Grace Curtis, Ruth
Kelly and Dorothy Smith as other
civil service employees of the revenue
office who had received letters. II
then developed that the envelopes
had been addressed merely city and
that the missives had been delivered
at the girls homes.
There was one cent due on
EACH" added Miss Coyne.
What" exclaimed Sena Ken
yon. Did they even ask the girls
to pay postage on the letters?" and
he and Senators Reed and Pomerene
agreed that the episode was "despic.
able and inexcusable."
The testimony indicated that the
letters named no definite assess
ment but that the young women
were each asked for $40 when they
called on Waterbury in response tc
the letters. Several signed checks
for the amount but others gave post
| dated checks on a partial payment
plan The salaries of the girls were
fixed at about $120 month each.
Miss Jessie Burchard, one of those
who gave $40, described the trans
action, however, as purely "volun
| tary" offering.
Miss Burchard said the letters re
| quested the girls to call on Mr.. Wa
terbury at a room in an Aberdeen
hotel and that about dozen o.
them went there together. Six o
the dozen, she said, gave $40 eacl
| at that time.
Miss Burchard, whose home is II

advised by counsel not to answe

ed to Senator Kenyon yesterday.

to come to Chicago, she said.

THROWING MONEY AWAY

A few days ago, George B. Mccall
lum, treasurer Of the McCallum Hos
icry Company Of Northampton,
Mass, threw $197 in gold and silver
coins out Of the factory window. Mr..
McCallunl was not crazy, nor was
he giving an limitation Of new
Texas oil millionaire calling covey
of Broadway chorus girls. He was
giving an limitation of his own en-
ployes.
They had been throwing $197 out
of the factory window every week
for months in careless waste and he
took the most spectacular method
he could devise to call their atten-
tion to it. After the riot, caused by
the scramble in the snow for the
coins, and quieted down, he explained
to the assembled operatives that in
one week 11,760 needles, worth IA
cents each, had been lost by them.
That represented loss exactly
equal to the lat silver dollars he had
thrown out of the window, except
that no one had had n chance to re-
cover any Of it.
Silk scattered underfoot and
ruined in the week previous repre-
sented loss equal to the $50 in gold
he had scattered to the winds. 1t
was an impressive lesson, even
though some of the employees are
still too busily engaged hunting in
the troddcn snow for coins to listen
to it.
Four out Of every five of the men
and women who saw this perfor-
nance, M. Callum estimates, are
duplicating it in their own lives and
homes. They are throwing money
out of the window every day by lack
Of thrift and habits Of saving, by
extravagance and improper buying
and by failure to make safe and Sc
cure investments, such as War Saw
ings Stamps, Treasury Savings Sc
curities and Liberty Bonds.
This estimate does not apply only
to the McCallum employees. 1t is
equally true Of four out Of every
five citizens of the country.
