ine cnccK8 to tne treasurer wore accom
panted by a letter from the srovernor.
The witness said he had no notice of
- Tne overaraf t in the governor a account
: at the American National bank at Austin
' at the time it existed. He said he kept
all the books with reference to the gov-
ernor's account and that he wrote the
letter of January 20 1915 to the Temple
Slate bank inclosing a draft for $5000 to
. the credit of the Canyon City normal ac-
count. In that letter he requested the
uanK. on instructions from tne governor
not to increase its loans on tha strength
of the deposit but merely to hold it for
l ueposil.
-' The witness said that auch Instruction
was intended to apply to all the deposit
of- the governor in that fund although it
had been shown that no such instruction
- was given In any of the other letters.
The .witness declared that there was
now no funds belonging to the State In
his hands or the hands of the governor.
On cross-examination Davis stated that
he haf written all the 40 personal letters
signed by the governor in some of which
he asked for statements of his various
' accounts at the Temple State bank.
Crane If you -wrote all the letters why
uiu you nave mm sign tnese?
13a vis I wanted him to see the letters.
Crane You wrote a letter on March 2$
kJio asKing i or a statement oi tne gov
mors account and On March 20 Gov
.ernor Fi-rcuson wrote asking for a state
ment. Why did he write so soon after
you naa written?
Davis I don't know.
Crane How many statements did you
oi tne governors account!
Davis Three I believe.
Crane In June of this year the gov
ernor 'asked for a statement of hia es
crow account with the Dayton Lumber
uompany .'
Davis I think so.
. Crane Why was the governor writing
iur Butietnenis oi nis accounts ir you
n RwpniB up personally witn tne a
tails o( hia business?
Davis I can't answer that.
DID NOT EXAMINE
INTO STATEMENT.
Crane Why when the statement of
the governor's account in September
. 191j showed only four items didn't you
catch your item of $5600 charged against
. the governor's account?
I Davis It never occurred to me that
any other charge would be made against
that account except the normal money
Crane Did the governor keep any stubs
of the checks he issued?
Davis I don't know; I don't think so.
Crane Did you keep a record of the
; items ordered remitted from the Tenuis
V State bank to the AfieHcgp N&tloaan
Davis-i-No sir. ' '
crane Did you have an account of
every aisoursement against that fund
Davis Yes sir.
Crane Did you have an account of
the $5600 disbursement?
Davis I did not. I didn't keep any
account with the bank.
Crane What good did the statement
. do you If you didn't look at the items
to cneca tnem up:
Davfs None except I would have the
statement ir any question arose.

charged against the governor's special ac-

cash remitted to the American National

THREE ITEMS
MADE THE 15600.
At the afternoon session the following
question was asked by General Crane:
When the check waa drawn April 27 1916
(meaning the check for $21783). it took
all the funds including the $$060 of the
(meaning the check for $217:
adjutant general's money and $752 king's
highway and created an overdraft of
$1847.50 and adding those three Items
made the $6600?
Davis That's correct.
Crane The deposits made afterwards
were exhausted by checks drawn against
them (excludinr the Canyon City normal
account) and left a balance In that acj
count ox snout to 1 1
Davis Yes sir.
Crane The items paid to Governor
Hobby were out of the governor's per
sonal funds?
Davis Yes sir.
Crane And for that reason you say
that the $57 in the account of the gov-
ernor is now his?
Davis Yes air.
The witness stated that he could find
no carbon copy of the letter written Jan-
uary 20 1915 to the Temple 8tate.tnk
in which he requested that no new loans
be made by the bank on the strength of
that deposit but found -carbon comes of
all the other letters. He also said that
he searched for the bank statement of
April 27 1916 but could not And it. He
produced a statement of June 6 1916
which showed an overdraft of $1847.60.
He said he found the statement among
papers winch he had turned over to the
governor about two months ago at the
time of the grand Jury Investigation.
crane if you turned tnem over to the
governor you must have had the state-
ments you or the governor must have
handled them?
Davis Yes sir.
Crane Do the banks send notices of
overdrafts?
Davis I don t remember getting any.
It Is the usual custom.
Crane They also give notice to cover
any overdraft?
Davis Yes. sir.

.SAN ANTONIO Texas Seitt. 14. Dip-
ping low over the Southern Pacific pas
senger station Saturday aviators from
Kelly field wUT drop flowers on the casket
of Lieutenant Allan F. House of Lake
Charles La. who died at the base hos-
pital following injuries received in a mo-
tor accident on the Frio road Thursday
night. V
Friday's Investigation of the accident
Indicated that there had not been a col-
lision as flrsti reported but that the mo-
torcycle and side car with which Corporal
Thomas O. Hardin of the signal corps was
bringing Lieutenant House to San An-
tonio overturned! when It was turned out
to avoid striking a- wagon. This version
Of the accident was given by persons
who witnessed it and picked up the bodies
of the two men. N
Lieutenant House suffered a fractured
skull and lived only a short time after
reaching the base hospital. Corporal
Hardin waa knocked unconscious but is
said not to be severely injured though
suffering greatly from shock over the fa-
tal accident.- His condition has been such
that he has not been asked to recount
the details of the accident.
The funeral arrangements for Lieuten-
ant House have been deferred awaiting
the arrival tomorrow of his brother from
Louisiana. It is expected that the body
will be taken tols home for burial and
If so the fellow officers at Kelly field
will pay hla memory the unique tribute
at the train. Lieutenant House was as-
sistant adjutant at Kelly field and a fav-
orite among both officers nd men.
Ih paying the mark of rCspect planned
the aviators will do some of the most
hazardous flying. A descent over a city
to such a distance that the flowers may
be dropped with precision entails great
danger. Ordinarily It is the practice to
fly high over cities In order that there
may be distance in which to effect a safe
landing in accident or engine trouble occurs.

iAuadtUi Vrtu Report.)
WASHINGTON Sept 14. The war
credits bjll was' taken up by the senate
Friday and prepared for paasage Satur-
day In about the form it passed the
house by unanimous vote last week.
Hopes of senate leaders to dispose of the
measure Friday were blocked by Senator

tion of some amendments Saturday.
It is conceded that no changes affect-
ing the amount of bonds and certificates
or their interest rates will be made and
that the bill will pass practically by

(Ait0cietti Prtu K'psrt.)
WASHINGTON Sept 14. Agreement
upon about one-half of the revenue levies
In the $2416000000 war tax bill was
reached by the senate and house con
ferees Friday In their first day's work.
Such rapid progress was made that the
principal disputes were narrowed to the
war profits ' and postage sections fore'
shadowing a complete agreement early
next week.
While conclusions of the conferees are
officially said to be tentative there Is
little probability of further change in the
sections passed over. The committee
sessions are secret at the request of
Representative Kitchin but It Is reliably
stated that the results pi the flrst meet
lng included:
Adoption of the Income tax normal and
sur taxes virtually as revised by the sen
ate and designed to raise. $842200000
additional' revenue
Elimination of the house provision
levying a one-third Increase on 1916
taxes a retroactive assessment from
which $101000000 In revenue waa to be
raised.
Partial approval of the tobacco section
as revised downward by the senate to
raise ibe.eoo.vvu asagainst Igv.zuo.um pro
nosed by the house.
Adoption of the Intoxicating beverage
section virtually as revised upward by the
senate to raise aguj.vw.uvv as conpareu
witn iiu.w.vm proposed ry tne no use.
Approval of practically all the sen
ate changes In the section taxing
public utilities Including the 3 per cent
levy on freight transportation; the assess-
ment of passenger transportation reduced
from $76000000 to $37600000; the taxes
on Pullman accommodations pipe line
transportation ana telegraph and tele
phone messages costing over 15 cents.
The house conferees also agreed to the
elimination oi tneir provisions tor lev;
$30000000 on electric light gas and local
telephone service and $6000000 Issuance
oi insurance policies.
The war nroflts section waa naaaed
ovec Friday and will probably be the
issi settled. Home members predict an
increase In Its total revenue provisions of
at least 1100.000.000 and adoption of
compromise calculation plan being framed
by the house members.
When the conferees recessed at night
they had reached the manufacturing tax
section of the bill and planned to- begin
with the automobile clause Saturday.
In Virtually concluding tha Inmm. tux
rates the conferees specifically wrote Into
tne dui tne proposea aououng oi tne pres
ent 2 per cent normal tax and the pro
visions ior reaucuon ot exemntion from
$3000 and $4000 respectively for single
and married persons to $1000 and $2000.
The sur tax rates on incomes above
