RECORD IS CITED
Banks, Wherein Oth

Get Favor.
Large allotments of money to banks
in which Governor McCray ami Law
rence Lyons, Kepu'dU-au State chairman,
are interested were proposed seven days
before the Governor took office, and when
Williaui G. Oliver, auditor of Slat was
ihe ociy member of the present adminis
tration on the State hoard of finance,
records at the Stutebouse r venled today.
The recur,! shows She allotments wore
proposed by William G. (Hirer, secretary
of the board.
. The record shows the board met again
pt>b. 18 and approved the all tun-rFs.
The minutes of the board show that
Mr. Oliver and Ora .1, Hav.es. who had
then become State treasurer, were tie
only members of the board who were
present. It shows Mr. oiix.r approved
theallotinenis, despite his statement in
answer to charges made by Frederick
Van Nuts at the Demo -rati- Mate on
vent lon that he was opposed to such
practice.
Governor McCray later signed the rec
ord as having been approved by him

The two ims k* h.to lwt depositories
for comparatively small am- mts until
this meeting of the finance board.
A rift between men. ■•<-r ■ f tin- board
of finance was apparrut x*n the surface
as a result of the g.-rcra! initio s , '
Mr. Oliver as to having any r r an a

According to Stntehv:** of*:* ini*. :
dignation has been .x pr ssed by . h--
members of the board that Mr. >* in r np
patently should endeavor ' , the

While it Is true that < diver < i-avor-d
in no sense to u*e the St..u- f ;:.-!s t -

officials were *.urged with doing by Mr.
Van Ncy*, other members ,-f tto- i-o.ir-1
point to t!:e fact that h was a me u r
adn neither Davies nor Governor *f.-Cra>
were members of the board when the B*t
was made up.
The truth of the matter, according t
.general belief Is that ti. - three n..-iti
friers of the Star,- board of nice c m
posed of Goodrich. Mc.Mu'rie •: ,1 (diver
acted upon the wish-s of the incoi ii-.g
administration, and that (diver t. r, i.

existence. Although there were but a
few days to elapse before the ro-rr i.-to
reorganlzatlo nos the finance hoard, tto
renaming of the list of depositories did
not wait.
During the early part of the adminis
tration, the Farmers Trust and Savings
Company of Kokomo, which Mr. Van
Xuys said had befriended Mr. Davies
while he was treasurer of Howard Coun
ty, was made a leposßory for a .it ■■
funds an 1 S2o,'*** plac-d there. It xxa -
not until Mr. Davie- had been a Diem
