BINGHAM DENIES
EYANSON CHARGE
Says Industrial Official Assisted
Him, but Did Not Help Frame
Tariff Bill.

Senator Bingham, Republican, Con-
necticut, denied today reports that
Charles L. Eyanson, an of1cial of the
Connecticut Manufacturers Associa-
ton, had helped to frame certain pro-
visions of the tariff bill while serving
temporarily as his secretary.
The Senator, however said Eyanson
had assited him in work on the tariff
as 1t affected his State and as his secre-
tary had attended some Of the execu-
tive sessions Of the Senate finance COM
mittee while it was considering the leg
islation.
He merely answered my questions,
however" the Senator added, land, of
course, took no part in framing the bill "
Later Eyanson, together with other
Senators secretaries, was stopped from
attending the committee sessions. Bing-
ham said he at first paid Eyanson out
of his own pocket, but later put him
on the Government pay roll as his sec
rotary. EyanSon since has returned to
his position in Connecticut.
Bingham tsaid his employment of
Eyanson grew out of his realization that
1T was the only way to make up for
my lack Of knowledge of the tariff. p"
He pointed out that his senatorial du-
ties chiefly had been in connection with
aviation and territorial affairs, and that
since Connecticut produced thousands
of commodities and Eyanson had at
tended all of the House hearings, he felt
the official would be Of great assistance
to him.

day why advisory committees had not
been created as provided for in the farm
relief act In order to stabilize wheat.
The chairman replied that jealouStes'
existed between the various organized
wheat groups and that 1t was regarded
as difficult to name an advisory group.
The Iowa Senator contended the
board should have formed q committee
from the unorganized farmers. but
Legge asserted this would have been
contrary to law.
Charges Neglect.
well" Brookhart said, 1.-The most
important section of this bill is that
relating to sterilization OF agriculture
and that you have entirely neglected.
IF that was wrong" Legge replied,
our judgment that that would nave
made matters worse"
Pressed by committee members as to
whether the board had any intention
of creating a sterilization corporation
for wheat Chairman Legge said one
might be set up In time.
In response to questions from Sem
ator McNary, the chairman said Moth
ing had been done to aid the exporta-
ton Of this years surplus except as
loans made to co-operatives could be
construed to consist Of aid in this dl-
rection.
Rather than stabilize wheat. Legge
said. the board had laid down plans
for organization of the Farmers Ma
tional Grain Marketing Organization
which, when finally set up, was e.
pected to handle the wheat problem
eficiently.
Caraway Leads Attack.
The attack on the boards loan policy
was conducted by Senator Caraway.
Democrat, Arkansas, who asserted the
board had acted contrary to the intent
Of Congress by declining to make pri-
mary financing loans direct to CO -oper-
atives and instead lending money only
after the co-operatives' own credit
sources had been exhausted.
Legge said the loan section had been
construed that way because the board
had not had the opportunity Of per-
fecting its financial organization where
by direct loans could be protected ade-
quately.
Pointing out the board had offered
to advance 80 per cent OF the cost OF
constructing facilities Of the $4,000
900 Farmers National Grain Associa-
ton. under process of formation, Legge
said" If you want to be more liberal, I
don't know how you are going to do It,"
Slow in Qualifying.
Already, he said. the board had au-
thorized loans amounting TO between
S35 ,OOO, 900 and $40,O00,000, of which
the co-operatives had taken less than
$40 ,00O, 900 because they had been slow
In qualifying for the funds. The rate
of interest on the board loans. he
pointed out, has been set by the Treas
ury under the law at about three and
two-fifths per cent.
At the beginning Of the hearing
Legge said the present value of his
international Harvester Co. stock, &C.
cording to stock quotations, was about
81. 000, 000."
He added he thought 1t excessive be-
cause earnings on International Har-
vester stock amounted to but about
per cent and the original cost was
far less.

tant United States Attorney william H.
Collins were to receive the shock Of
their lives
He believed this, he said, because he
was sure Bolts would support him In
his assertion that he had seen q man
on the roof of the Park Lane that night.
He attempted to congratulate Collins on
his investigation and the questioning
which, Allen says, Collins conducted
yesterday of his partner.
Allen claimed that Collins questioned
Bolts yesterday evening regarding the
night of the death, but the assistant
United States attorney did not appear
to accept Aliens congratulations or to
admit that Bolts had been questioned.
1t was this clew that Shelby had at
tackled.
In view of the number of witnesses,
approximately 80 of whom are yet to
testify, Collins declared this morning
that he did not believe the grand iury's
Investigation could be completed today.
The grand jury recessed at 1880 but
reconvened at 1:l5 O'Clock and sum-
moned DR.. Frank Hornaday, who listed
Mrs. Mcpherson on his register as
nurse. The dead woman communicated
with her family at China Grove, NJ C.,
several weeks ago and informed them
that her husband had so badly beaten
her that it was necessary for her to
receive treatment from DR.. Hornaday
When the physician was questioned by
police he Is said to have denied ever
giving Mrs. Mcpherson treatment, and
added that she had never complained
to him of domestic difficulties.
DR.. Hornaday was followed to the
stand by Maj. Walker, who employed
the siN shortly before her death. In
her communications to her family MRS.
Mcpherson advised them that her EN-
ployer was retaining a certain portion
Of her salary for her in order that her
husband could not get 1t. MAI. Walker
informed police that there had been no
such arrangement and he had paid the
woman weekly by check. His statement
was corroborated by MCPHERSON, Jr..
who declared that the checks had been
cashad each weeks by him through a
