Mellon's Letter.
The letter of Secretary Mellon, ad
dressed to the president under date
of yesterday, follows:
"On March 12, 1924, by senate reso
- lotion 168, the senate appointed a
. special committee to Investigate the
bureau of internal revenue and sug
gest corrective legislation. Senator
Couzens was the moving spirit of the
resolution. In urging the appoint
ment of the committee his purpose
was ostensibly to obtain Information
upon which to recommend to the sen
ate constructive reforms In law and
in administration. With such a pur
pose I am entirely In accord. From
the line of investigation selected by
Sens tor Couzens and by the asmos
phere which he has seen fit to Inject
into the Inquiry It is now obvious that
! his sole purpose is to vent some per
sonal grievance against me.
“All companies in which I have
been Interested have been sought out.
I have aided In obtaining from them
the waiver of their right to privacy
and In the delivery of their income
tax returns in complett details to the
committee. This Investigation has
disclosed that no company In which 1
have been Interested has received any
different or better treatment than
- any other taxpayer. The Inquiry, so
far as showing that I favored my own
interests, has railed completely. Any
constructive purpose of the committee
has now been abandoned.
Private Agent Named
"At a meeting of the committee yes
terday Senator Couzens carried a reso
lution, against the objection of the
two republican members, empowering
lirancts J. Heney to assume charge
of the Investigation and to conduct
the examination of witnesses, with
the understanding expressly stated in
the resolution that neither the com
, mltte# nor the government pay
Heney’e compensation. In effect a
private individual la authorized to In
. vestlgate generally an executlva de
partment of the government. The In
dividual Is paid by, not the senate
pr Ita committee, but Senator Couzens
■ lone.

New Orleans, April II.—For the
second time within three months
thieves broke Into the Saint Bernard
pariah Jail at St. Bernard Courthouse,
Uoualanu, and got away with large
quantities of seized liquor which had
been stored in the jail for safe keep
ing.
The first robbery occurred late In
January when rum burglars sawed
tho bars of the liquor store room slid
loaded 236 sacks of whiskey or 1,416
quarts Into an automobile which had
been backed against the Jail and
made their escape.
The second visit which occurred s
week ago but did not become gen
erally known until today netted the
thieves about the same quantity of
liquor after they had forced the steel
bars of a side door snd made their
way into the barricaded liquor room
through a transom.

life Frederick Huffman, 90, residing
near Vaughnsville, never found It

chial pneumonia.

Huffman said. "But I guess it’s bet
ter to be safe than sorry.”
