if at the time he was asked to keep Eyanson out, other Secretaries" were excluded also. Senator Bing ham avoided the question at first but upon further questioning answered that all 'socretaricS' were put out at the time Eyanson was told he could not attend the meetings thereafter. This is at variance to what Senator Smoot of Utah said at the time the Eyanson incident was made public.
 Shoot, speaking on the floor or the senate. said that Eyanson alone vas excluded. Thereupon Senator Walsh produced list of 52 Con- necticut manufactured articles for which increases in the tariff rate were recommended and asked what was responsible for them. The senator took them up separately. Bingham giving such answers as II would have to consult my fles,' l would have to consult MT. EyanSon on that
 ITolItS IIl(TtUSci .Sit,ooosp'p
 At this point Senator Walsh ob- served that the proposed increases would mean an additional profit of S76.000, 900 to the manufacturers of Connecticut and asked Senator BinG- ham what part of this Eyanson was responsible for. Bingham did not answer directly, and Walsh replied: Well, at any rate, he earned his salary"
 He was a good teacher, senator" said Senator Bingham, and had l been more interested in industry than aviation and archaeology l probably would not have needed his services"
 Blaine questioned Bingham's s statement that all clerks were eX- cluded from the committees hear ings during deliberations on the tar if bill, and maintained that the senate committee on finance did not know that Eyanson was on the payroll of the Connecticut Manu- facturers' association. Bingham stated that the question never arose before he, himself, asked Eyanson to stay out of the hearings. Blaine at this time accused Bingham of avoiding the issue. He was trying to establish that the rest of the committee on finance did not know who Eyanson was and that Bing- ham was hiding his identity.
 Refuses 10 Admit Wrong Doing
 It was admitted by Bingham that it would have been wrong for the committee to hire Eyanson, al- though it was all right for him to do so. Throughout the entire hearing Bingham protested that the mem bcrs of the senate investigating con- mittce were trying 10 put words into i him to admit against his better judg- ment that he had done wrong.
 Eyanson Takes Stand Eyanson followed the senator or | the stand. He said he has been with the manufacturers association fol seven years anu pllOT to that Nds connected with Drexel institute ot Philadelphia. He is a native oi Washington state.
 The storm center of the inquiry explained the nature of his duties which had little bearing on his pur. pose here.
 His purpose before the ways anG means committee Of the house, ht said, was to aid Connecticut mann lecturers in the presentation O their tariff matters.
 | Senator Blaine asked him what hc was doing on the senate's payroll | he did not keep the money, Evan son replied that the purpose was tr keep him under the discipline of thu senate.
 "Thc purpose of putting you or that payroll was to give you acces to the hearings, wasn't it?" Blain' asked, Eyanson cvaded the ques ton.

Three Hurt on Stanley Street

Striking a parked automobile and then an electric light pole on Stan ley street a short distance south of Allen street about 11:15 o'clock last night, an automobile driven by Leo Baldesari 26, of 1883 Stanley street. was badly damaged about the front and Baldesari and three com panions were painfully injured. Pleading guilty to the charge of reckless driving in police court to- day, Baldesari claimed that the lights of an oncoming automobile so
 nterfered with his vision that he was unable to see the parked car un- til it was too late to avoid striking it. He was fined s25 and costs.
 Baldesari sustained a laceration over the left eye and an injury to his nose Mary DobbaCk, A, of 395 East Main street, who was riding in the rear seat of the car. sustained laceration over the left eye neces- sitating five stitches, and her sister Bertha Domback, 28, of the same ad- dress. riding in the front seat, Sus- tained q laceration of the right knee. necessitating three stitches. while Walter kardock, 25, of 36l F,as street, sustained a confusion Of , the chin.

The pole must be replaced because of the damage.
 Baldcsari testified that he was driving at the approximate rate or 9 miles an hour just before he , sighted the parked car. He thought 1 he could get his car back onto the road after the collision and with that idea in mind he did not attempt to stop at once, accounting for the dis tance he continued before striking i the pole.

 Curtis also told police that he was planning to come 10 New Britain last evening to visit Miss Rittner, who he expects to marry in the spring.
