William A. Glasgow. Jr.. cenusel for Harmen M. Kephart. former State Treasurer, whose administration is under inves tigation by Auditor General Lewis, sprung the mere or less expected nt the hearing before the Auditor Gecnrnl to day when he argued unsuccessfully for a limitation of the Inquiry and a post ponement until the auditors have, com pleted their work. The hearing began in the Senate cau cus room in the State Capitel with Mr. Lewis and Attorney Gencrul Alter pre siding. The caucus room is famous as the place where the Capitel graft Investi gation was carried qn by Jehn S. Fisher, the result of which wan that millions were recovered for the Com monwealth and men were pent te jail. Mr. Glasgow is a Democrat and it it pointed out that his appearance for Kephart and his suggestions te the Auditor General that the inquiry be limited and postponed, come, from the organization point of view, with bet cr grace than if the suggestions eutnn from a Republican lawyer. Blocking Move Expected Mr. Glasgow Is a Virginian, nnd Ills softly uttered Southern phrases can tlvatcd the audience, although the Auditor General was listening with n leek which seemed te say, "I was sure somebody would try te choke off this investigation." Mr. Glasgow argued that the act of 1811, under, .which the Auditor General is proceeding, only allowed, in this case, for an examination of the accounts of the State Treasurer; of the accounts of Mr. Kephurt when lie was State Trcas urer, and that then, if the accounts were wrong, the Auditor General should call en the State Treasurer te correct, rectify or make up. Such a call en Icihart, he argued, should net. In ' ifm-nes, no made until the audit br Mail. & Ce. is completed. Then, said iHhKiiw. If Kephart is found te ewe the State anything, he should he called en tn pay what lie ewes. "And en brhnlf of Air. Knilmn .
