SAYS AMOUNT s2OO.0OO Youngstown, O., Paper Says Client Got Refund of S2,0OO, ,00O

YOUNGSTOWN, O., Feb. 27.-Wil- liam c. McAdoo, Secretary of the Treasury in the Wilson administration, received fee of $200,O00 for interven- tion in a tax refund case of the Re public Iron and Steel company in 1920, according to a copyrighted special story published by the Youngstown Vindicator today.
 According to the story, MT. McAdoo was engaged by Chairman John A. Top ping of the Republic just before the case came to a hearing, and affected a compromise with William M. Williams, then commissioner of internal revenue, and members of the tax revision boards. Due to this coinpromisement, it is said the Republic company received a refund of about $2.000yO00 immediately.
 Local officials of the Republic com pany maintain silence, saying that any statements relating to the company must be made by Mir. Topping, who at present is on a yachting cruise off Mi ami, Fla.
 About two weeks ago similar story, mentioning the Youngstown Sheet and Tube company as the concern, which it is alleged had paid $20O, 900 to Mir. Me Adoo was published by an Ohio news- paper.
 Leroy A. Manchester, general coun- sel of the Youngstown Sheet and Tube company, entered emphatic denial as to the naming of his concern. It was said at that time that the story re- ferred to another Youngstown steel concern, and not the sheet and tube company.

MADOO ADMITS sla,OOO FEE FOR ] TAX COMPROMISE
Paper Reports He Was Employed By Republic
 Iron & Steel Company ,

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 27.--William G. McAdoo tonight partially corrobo- rated what he termed ''the Youngs- town story" in statement in which he said his former legal firm in New York had represented the Republic Iron and Steel company before the treasury de- pertinent in Washington for total fee of S150OOO.
 MT. McAdoo's statement in full fol- lows:
 Concerning the Youngstown story, have no hesitation in saying that my former law firm in New York was em- ployed as counsel for the Republic Iron and Steel company, an independent con- cern, in a complicated tax matter at Washington. This case was heard in the regular legal way before the board of appeals and review of the tax depart- ment, semi-judicial body composed of civil service men. Whether it came be- fore Commissioner of Internal Revenue Williams on appeal do not recall. Briefs were filed and the case was ar- gued several times. It involved very serious and important legal questions concerning invested capital and was of interest to taxpayers throughout the United States. The amount involved was large.
 ''The employment began in November, 1919, at which time aretainer of $10,- 900 was paid, and the case was closed in the early part of 1921. whereupon an additional fee of $140,0O0 was paid the firm-the compensation being com mensurate with the importance of the matter and the service performed.
 .The practice of law in New York involves very expensive organization, high rentals, and the fees are, of course, high. This was not a personal fee, but a fee to the firpN and I re- lceived, Of course. only proportien t0f it 2 E. E There appears to be n concerted ef- fort by my political enemies to divert attention from the scandals in admin istration circles at Washington by try ing to attack my law practice. I have no apologies to make for it. Former Associate Justice of the Supreme Court Charles E. Hughes and other public of- ficials, on retiring from office, resumed the practice of law, just as did, and no one criticized them. A lawyer must practice law after he retires from pub lice life or be deprived of the oppor- tunity of supporting his family.

Indications Wednesday were that an attempt would be made to delay action on construction of the new Jefferson county court house until after the peo- pie have had an opportunity to ex- press their wishes at the polls on the question of a site, the price to be paid and the raising of funds necessary to finance the project.
 Lacy Edmundson, a member of the board of revenue, said he was in favor of such a plan and hinted that at some future meeting of the board he would re-introduee his resolution to submit the whole question to the people, which was defeated when introduced two or three months ago. He said he thought the people had right to express themselves on the matter. k-
