Crooked Lawyers
are Kicked Out
Washington, D. C. — Twenty four
lawyers have been disbarred from
practice before the treasury depart
ment as a result of an Investigation
of charges of collusion between them
and employes of the Internal revenue
bureau.
A list of those disbarred, made pub
lie by Secretary Mellon, also included
15 others who have been suspended
The disbarments covered a period of
three years.
Charges against the lawyers were
varied, some including attempts by
attorneys to bribe employes of the
Income tax unit and others involving
efforts by the lawyers to obtain lists
of taxpayers subject to extra assess­
ment.
Senator Glass of Virginia, former
democratic secretary of the treasury,
complained recently against practices
of this character.
