Asserts Actions Will
Bear Investigation ..
SUBMITS RECO RID S
Fees Taken For Legal
Work And Not For In
fluence, He Says

CHICAGO, May %. W.D-Attor-
ncy Harry X. Curtis, son of the
vice president of the United States,
was expected today to submit to
the states attorneys office records
of fees paid him by Chicago con
tractors who hoped his "influence
at Washington" would help them Sc
cure government building jobs.
He was questioned at length yes
terday by Special Investigator Pat
rick Roche of the states attorney
office in regard to his transactions
with a group OF contractors, IA mum.
Der of whom told of paying Curtis
$500 fees.
The vice presidents son denied
in the transactions, and promised to
prepare at once list of all the
contractors he dealt with, and ex-
plantations in each case of the ma
,ure of the legal services he render
Cd for the fees paid him.
Nike Malloy, described as "go
between" for the contractors and
Curtis, likewise was questioned by
Roche, MS were several contractors,
all OF whom denied having made
any complaints against Curtis.
Roche indicated the investigation,
which started quietly two weeks
ago, had been prompted by an out
side agency not connected with any
of the parties involved.
Curtis told Roche, the latter said,
that Malloy visited his office last
November and asked him il he
could get government contracts for
contractors Malioy apparently rep
resented. r.t
Work Was Legal ,,.r,.
81 told him that OF course
couldn't" said Curtis, land he went
away, returning several weeks later
to request me to represent the con-
tractors he knew by keeping in
touch with the making Of appro
priations for various government
Jobs, the announcement Of plans
and specifications and the making
of bids.
"1his was perfectly legal work,
so | accepted Curtis continued his
explanation. "Then in December
learned my name was being used rs
a surety that any contractors would
receive for their work Is to 20 per
cent above cost by paying me
money.
"I refused then to have anything
more to do with the proposition of
course, do not know what Malloy
may have said to the various con
tractors. He may have told peo'
Pile that because of my fathers pos
ition had some influence, but ]
most certainly did not and have
no knowledge of its having been
done. Any one who complained or
was not satisfied was given back
his money"
Curtis was of the opinion the in
quiry probably had been instigated
by Malloy and the latter's associ
atcs because he declined to have
further dealings with them.
