The tactics used by I'atton m securing the money were very crude and had il not heell for making an enemy out of L. D. Todd, a former employe of h;s. it la possible thai the true tact would have never te to liuht. Iliiisti Hearing Today, The commissioners will finish the hearing this morning, at which time several oilier witnesses who have worked f. i I'atton will tiftifj. There la no iiuestlon but that the facts al ready obtained from Todd and others vv.ll resull In i'atton's dismissal from the city payroll ami possibly t lie fil iux of changes against him if he does not refund all the money thai the commissioners have direct evidence that he h.,s taken with Intent to de fraud. Police Commissioner Qulnn and City Attorney Woodard conduct ed practically all of the questioning Of Patton, who made every poaslbb effort to evadi answering them it Is very lik.ly that Attorney Wooil.ud will file charge in the county against Patton after h, has had time to e- . me ail the Inft rmatlon from persom who hsve worked for him during his term of office and who have already frank I j admitted that they knew ol the Kraft (hat was going On al the telme bul were afraid to "squeal" for fear the) would lose their Jobs. Subordinate Told. Todd, who lives on the comer of Park and (Juanili sin els, told the commissioners al the hearing of number of case:, w bere Patton w ould turn In false time to the city auditor and then u the funds to hia own in terests Al the start of the Investi gation Todd was loath to tell all he knew and not until I'atton, evidcntl) by an error In bis effort to clear him self, made him "peeved" and then he Wllllngl) arose from his chair and Informed those present that If tiny wanted to now all about the way thiivys had been carried on for the past three year that he had been Working Under I'atton he could tell them. II" then proceeded and re lated one Instance where i'atton turned In lals, time check In his name for ISO, for which Todd him self used In paying I'atton's tuxi-a al the courthouse He said that Patton told him at the time that b didn't think they would quite reach 13a and If they did not that he could Just keep all that was l.fl. Me related anothei case where I'atton bad two men cm ployed Iii fllKKlmt a well on hia own property and that ha was Indebted to them In Hie sum of lis and In or der to paj them off he Isaued a false time ciie. k to him covering the amount and told him to get the check i ashed and pay the men. The in st "opett" method used by I'atton und the one that he admitted before the commissioners nftT they had trapped him, was that of work In men on the city payroll on h!s own properi j, such ns building alde walka, filling In, etc. To back his Statement to the commission, Todd asked permission to leave the room and go to a certain place In the city where John Qoenell, formerly on the. olty payroll, was Working and prove by him that It was a custom of rat ion's to do this sort of "business." Ho returned soon with Unsnell and the latter admitted that h had worked two weeks on a contract Job for the firm of Hedrli k A Patton and that he received his pay from the elty of Tulsa; also that he worked scverul days bnlhlln sidewalks around Pat ton's propert) on Archer and Qtinnah and at PnoentX and Park street, for Which hr Wa paid with a elty war rant the same as If he had done the work for the city. This In Itself, a fact that Patton Could not and did not deny, Is sufficient evidence to warrant hia illsinl'sal from the rlty aervb . WASH 1 'i IT' K, i icl !

Governor Ham lin and Messrs, Warburg and Hard ing, the hoard committee, will discuss the proposal tomorrow before they meet the banker and later the full reserve board may take it up. The discussion toda) deal! with de tails of the proposed loan funds. Hoard members were interested to know what profit the hackers of the pool expect to make and what It benefits will be to the cotton pro ducer. Mr McAdoo' letter to Mr. Henry went exhaustive!) Into the aid so far extended by the treasury to national banks In the cotton states, showing that It has Issued to them since the war began 141,000,000 In currency; that its crop funds there amount to 1 1 1.337.01)0; that Its regular deposits In the south total 115,0(6,000 und that there is available for southern hunks, in compliance with law, 1151,000,000 more in additional national hank cur rency.

In his letter. Mr McAdoo denied thut he had the right to deposit treasury funds, of which Mr. Henry had said there were "several hundred millions" exclusive!) in the south. The statutes require, be said, that such funds be distributed as tar as prac ticable V, iultal.lv between the differ ent states and sections" , "if the government had several hundred million dollars In the treas ury." Mi. McAdoo raid, "congress would noi i,e engasjed now in passing a new tax iii to repair the loss in revenue occasioned b) tbo Kuropeall war." in conclusion the letter says: "The power und resources "t the southern states should be employed for the benefit Of their people and the natcnal government should not be xpe.'led to do thin which are be yond its power. I am glad to state that the federal reserve hanks throughout th country ure n.,w prac tical 1) o lanlsed, The resources of these han .a will he available In the very near future for the further re lief of the tluum nil situation and for Die benefit of all klnda of business."
