Exposition Commission Aide Defends Charges in Letter
Olympia May 31 A letter from Charles G Heitner executive commissioner defends the exposition commission against former Senator TB Sumner of Everett. Heitner says he will stand or fall on the governor's verdict after a visit next month. He denies Sumner's charges as falsehoods and questions Sumner's motives and accuracy. Sumner had claimed $7000 spent with little public display including live fish and tanks. Heitner replies that thousands of salmon are shown in tanks and argues Sumner has a personal grievance over his own exhibit failures. He quips about possible spending but rejects adopting such generosity.
