Although when first asked about the check Beldleman Indignantly denied hav ing received It, later, when shown his indersement (below) and that of his law partner, he "recalled" having been paid as a "special counsel" Beidleman Deals Own Beem a Blew Centlnurd from rate One dlcman managed te recall that he bad received a fce from Auditor General Snyder. It was net paid te him per sonally, he declared. His admission was of the airy, careless character, after the manner of Mr. Snyder, as though a Sr00O fee were a mere bagatelle, te be forgotten In a few days. .Afterward I obtained the facts about the check, showing that It had been paid te Mr. Beidleman as attorney for Au ditor General Snyder in a tax case in volving the Westingheusc Manufactur ing Company. Tha amount of the delinquent bonus charged against the concern by the Au ditor (icnernl's Corporation Department was $63,710. Mr. Beidleman, as attorney for the State, had it cut te $30,024.13, te which was add"d $10,128.74, making a total of $.10.0."2.N", thus causing a less te the Commonwealth of $13,057. Snyder Yet te Be Heard Frem Ne matter what explanation Mr. Beidleman has made or may make, these figures, originally given in my dispatch te the Evening Public Lucacn of December 24 stand as the amount the State was out in this case. Mr. Beidleman's explanation of this transaction is one of the most interest ing features of this remarkable situa tion. It also requires an explanation or two frcm State Treasurer Snyder. Mr. Beidleman at first denied he had received an) thing from the Stnte but his salary as Lieutenant Governer. New ns a candidate for Governer he reverses his original statement. He ac knowledges that the check was received ns compensation for his services ns "special counsel" in the collection of the delinquent bonus from the Wcstingheuse Electric nnd Manufacturing Company. In the adjustment of the Westing Westing heuse case representatives of the Attor ney General also were present, repre senting Mr. Snyder. One, new a Dep uty Attorney (Ieneral. was J. "Ii. Tlici. Mr. Rigby is a lawyer and a leading expert in corporation matters. Why the necessity, with one of the best ntterneys in the State represent ing him, was it necessary for Auditor General Snjdrr te hire an additional lavvjer, Mr. Beidleman. at a cost of $."000 te pull off the trick of reducing tne iaxea irem .ye.i.nu te ?.H,U0-.S77 Tills is a question that Mr. Snvder should answer. Meet interesting, however, wna the action of Mr. Bc'dieman In accenting n check drawn from a fund for "advertis ing" instead et for "icgul fees." A requisition gees, or should go. with every check issued from the Auditor General's office. Mr. Beidleman knew, or should have known, tuat the pay ment of this $5000 from the "adver tising" fund, und in such a way, was illegal. The requisition was there te nreve it. He was being paid for "advertising nnd the escheat of money," nnd net for legal services. These are matters which Lieutenant Governer Beidleman, candidate for Governer, and Charles A. Snyder, can didate for Governer, have jet te ex plain te the voters of PcnnsIvnnia. HITS FRENCH DEBT POLICY Senater McCormick Says America Leaned Unconditional! Washington. Feb.
