ARMY PROBE TOLD
New York Lawyer Says He
Delivered Money to Miss

LOAN TO GEN. WILLIAMS
FIGURES IN TESTIMONY
House Committee Hears Brothers
Opposed Suggestion to Have
Military Man Repay Cash.
BY REX COLLIER.

Money transactions allegedly ar
ranged by Nathan and Joseph Silver
man, surplus Army goods dealers, for
the purpose of keeping Frank E.
Speicher, missing grand jury witness,
away from Washington" while the
Department of Justice was hunting
for him we're described today at a
lively session of the House Military
Affairs Committee, inquiring into lob
bying conditions at the War Depart
ment.
The testimony was given by young
New York attorney, Harold Schnure.
who, in the guise of "Dr. O'Brien."
declared he delivered to Speicher
series of envelopes containing money
at the request of the Silvermans.
The Silverman brothers, whose ne
gotiations for Army contracts were
under investigation by the Depart
ment of Justice and a grand jury at
the time, warned Speicher to stay
away from Washington. Schnure testi-
field, because it would be foolish
to get the old man in trouble"
Schnure said the Silvermans called
Gen. Alexander E. Williams, then as
ststant quartermaSter general, "the old
man"
When Speicher was eventually To-
Gated by the Department of Justice,
after a Nationwide hunt, information
which he gave the Government re-
suited in the conviction by court
martial of Gen. Williams for accept
ing a $2,5O0 loan from Speicher.
Schnure said Speicher wanted to
come to Washington and insist on
payment by Williams on a note COW
ering the loan, but that the Silver
mans repeatedly urged him to stay
in New York and sent him money
for expenses there"
Lawyer Disputes Testimony.
Chairman McSwain called atten-
ton of the committee to the fact that
Nathan Silverman testified last year
that he never knew Speicher was in
New York and never gave him any
money. Speicher's lawyer declared
this was a misstatement of fact and
that he was positive the SIVermars
knew Speicher was in New York and
was sending him money to stay there.
McSwain read a letter received by
the committee from A. Mitchell
Palmer, former Attorney General and
counsel for the Silvermans, in which
Palmer vigorously denied that he in
structed Thomas Jefferson Ryan, an
other New York attorney, to give the
envelopes of money to Speicher, or
anybody else. He termed the teSti-
mony an unqualified falSehood."
Palmer said Silverman told him he
could secure certain information for
the committee through Ryan, but it
would cost some money, and that he
(Palmer) told Silverman he saw no
objection if the information was
turned over to the committee. Palmer

holders.
Opposes Plan to AIIOiU
Tax Exemptions for
Such Donations.
BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG.

President Roosevelt today expressed
bitter opposition to a proposal in the
new tax bill to permit corporations to
deduct contributions to organized
charity on their tax returns.
The Presidents views are based
upon the fact that he personally dis
approves the practice Of corporations
contributing to various charities. In
his opinion such gifts are made only
to obtain public good will.
The President, discussing this sub
ject at his biweekly press conference
today, said emphatically he is opposed
to corporations having the right to
purchase good will. as he expressed it.
The President recalled that when
he was Governor of New York he
vetoed a bill allowing utility corpora
tions to contribute to organized chari-
ties. He explained that the laws OF
New York State at that time pro-
hibited such contributions and in his
veto message at that time he furnished
what he considered very good reasons
for not giving the legislation his ap-
proval.
The President illustrated his posi-
ton by reciting a conversation held
some time ago with the President of
large Southern utility corporation.
The President said this corporation

HAGNER- DIAMOND
SUITS WITHDRAWN
Error Claims Facing County Com
missioners Quashed by Tax
payer Viers.
BY staf Correspondent of The Star.

by q SJdA SOAACSPOAiOCIb Va AhS SSoAs
ROCKVILLE, Md, July 24.-The
taxpayers suits" filed against John
B. Diamond and Robert D. Hagner to
recover for the codnty sum of money
alleged to have been paid them in
error were withdrawn today by James
Viers of Rockville, who entered them
last Fall during the height Of the polit-
ical campaign in which Hagner and
Diamond were running for reelection
to the County Board.
Viers claimed in the suits that a
raise of $500 a year which the State
Legislature voted for members of the
Board of Montgomery County Com
missioners in 1881 was illegal in that
no elective officials salary can be
raised during his term of Office.
He pointed out that Hagner and
Diamond had received approximately
81 900 in error as result of the Leg
islature's action and that as a tax
payer he filed the suits to recover that
sum for the county.
The suits we're filed last September
while Hagner and Diamond, both
Democrats were running for re-elec-
ton. Viers was one Of the Fusion
leaders opposing their candidacy.
Hagner, who was reelected, will re-
ceive q check for nearly $4,000 within
the next few days as a result of Viers
Withdrawing the suit. His salary as
county commissioner has been held
up since the suits we're instituted.
Diamond, who was defeated for re-
election and retired in December, will
receive approximately $500.
The suits were withdrawn by Viers'
attorney, Ralph S. Fowler.

went out, the flood deluged the coun-

BY the Associated Press.
Extent of support of the admins
tration- backed graduated corporation
income tax among the members OF the
House Ways and Means Committee
was being measured today by Chair
man Doughton.
Doughton declined to predict the
outcome of the poll he had instituted,
although a majority of the l8 Demo-
Gratis on the committee have already
declared they would prefer an excess
profits levy.
It have thought for years that the
excess profits tax idea was the fairest
of all taxes" Doughton said, although
I would be willing to recognize the
principle of graduated corporation
income tax The excess profits tax Is
equitable, but like all other taxes it
has got to be imposed with discretion. :"

Doughton said, too, that the COM

write the new tax bill.
One person on Capitol Hill who is
close to the President said privately
that the committee members had
reached this decision because of pub
