Harrlsburg, June 20. The huge "re
volving fund" of the State Treasury
Department, Inte which tax moneys re
ceived from Allegheny County were
placed Instead of being deposited In n
banking Institution te the eredtt of
the Comenwcalth, was created by for
mer State Treasurer Harmen M. Kep
rrnrt, nB "war reserve fund," te pay
off State Institutions which might re
quire funds quickly. '
That Is Kephart's explanation of the
big "revolving fund," which contained
from 200,000 te $300,000 during the
war. Checks received from the Treas
urer of Allegheny County were depos
ited in banks, and against this fund
were drawn the famous blank cheeks
cent Kephart by Jehn A. Hell, presi
dent of the Carnegie Trust1 Company,
ritsburgh, after Kephart hud filled lit
the amount wanted, nnd the date.
"Bell may hnre been taking a big
chance," was Kephnrt's trite comment
when asked by Judge K. J. Fex If he
did net consider the method somewhat
of a hazardous one.
Arrangements for the creation of n
fund were completed by Kephart and
llell ever the long-dlstanee telephone.
Preliminaries for delving Inte the
"revolving fund" were marked by u
sharp exchange of verbal shafts between
Auditor General Lewis, presiding ever
the lienrlng,and "Wllllnm A. Glasgow,
Jr., counsel for Kephart.
Lewis and Lawyer In Tilt
"We are elmply investigating the
cumbersome methods of bookkeeping
used," Mr. Lewis said. "We can't as
certain whether anything Is due the
State until the nudlt Is completed. If
there is, no matter who ewes it, we
are going te collect It."
"That threat doesn't cause any nnxl
ety te either Mr. Kephart or myself,"
was the retort of Mr. Glasgow.
"It was net intended ns a threat,"
hurled back Lewis.
Glasgow continued contending that If
the money had been deposited te the
credit te the 'Commonwealth It would
probably have been withdrawn again te
pay off obligations, nnd that the ques
tion of whether the State would have
derived any interest depended en hew
long it remained.
Anether tilt occurred when Glasgow
demanded the production en the stand
of the uuditers. which was refused by
Auditor General Lewis, who said: "We
will specify the witness te be called."
"There was no secrecy," Kephart
declared, about the "revolving fund"."
"They were carried openly en the
book"."
Later he admitted that he did desire
the withholding of funds fimn the credit
of the Commonwealth te lie a secret,
because "the ether Stnte officials would
lone paid it out if they knew It was
there."
Further testimony developed thn fact
that even Assistant Treasurer Themas
I rlehten had net been informed of the
fund, as he had the power te pay State
Aeuchers when Kephart wns absent.
Kephart maintained the fund had
never been used for his personal ml
mintage, und said it wns used only "te
I ay Statu Institutions w hen they sent u
speclul rcqucht for money."
Armstrong Reluctant Witness
The morning session opened with the
presentation of evidence by Deputy At
torney General Hull of ten cheeks from
t he Treasurer of Allegheny County,
Msned by K. D. Tricberishauser during
his term, nnd two checks signed by Jo Je
seph G. Armstrong, the incumbent.
Mr. Armstrong had te he subpoenaed
before he would produce his checks and
records. He Identified ten checks
gnecj iy Trelhertshauser and two
tlgned by himself.
It is these cheeks the nroher e.
Peel : te show were exchanged for checks
or Mr. Bell, whose checks then went
into the "cash en hand" revolving
und, one of the secret peels maintained
'luting Harmen M. Kephart's term as
mate Treasurer.
After this had been dene. Kephart
was recalled. At this juncture Attor Atter
jiety General Lewis, In response te an
Inquiry by William A. Glasgow. Jr.,
counsel for Kephart, announced that

that the question of recovering from
Stenehnm is problematical, because Dier

Ehrlch also asks lenvc te accept from
Colonel Henry Douglas Hughes, n for

davlt, states that he Is worth enlv
S12.-i.000. nnd thnt this sum Includes
a valuation en Ids library, art gnllerv

of twenty-five, wns taken in by Dier
ns a member of the firm nf Dier, Law

One of the rensens for th. Inferior
iharactcr of Heuse and Senate mem

discourages first -e'liss men from enter

placesif power, and distinction but if
nuts the control of the two brunches
into the hands of old and often Inferior
men.
At presvnt the Senate In erstnle
Committee has for Its chairman Sena Sena
eor Cummins, who Is old mid has been
in ill health for a long time. The
Finance Committee had up till re
cently as Its head Senater Penrose, who
wns dying. The Immigration Commit Commit Commit
tee has for Its chairman Mr. Celt, who
Is advanced In years nnd has been nb
sent much of the time, nnd the .Tudl

Is past eighty jears old. Mr. Ledge,
