Payroll Snarl Awaits Return of Mr. Snyder Capitol Hill is to-day awaiting the return of Auditor General Charles A. Snyder to see what he is going to do about the payrolls and requisitions for expenses which the heads of de partments who were reappointed aft er being rejected by the Senate are sliding to him. Mr. Snyder has been at Pottsville attending the conven tion of county commissioners, and no one is authorized to speak for him. Attorney General Brown, who re turned here to-day, says that he will probably see Mr. Snyder in a short time, but did not intimate what course would be taken in event that payments are refused. Men connected with the auditor general's department have refused to talk in the absence of the auditor general about the demand made by >ir- Snyder on ex-Auditor General A. W. Powell for certain papers which it is- claimed by Mr. Snyder belong to the State. Mr. Snyder lodged a re tainer against one suitcase checked at one of the railroad stations, which is said to have been placed there subject to Mr. Powell's order. Mr. j Powell has declined to talk and the auditor general before he left the city said that he thought some papers had been taken from the Capitol by, men who retired when Powell went out and that lie wanted them re turned. The papers are said to relate to corporation taxes and have been much in the rumors going about the Capitol for three or four months.

The first issue was refused because they were sign ed by Commissioner William L. Gor gas, then acting Mayor. Some of i the second issue have been refused also, and the Court will be asked to settle the question of whether the 1 city can furnish its own security.
