needed.

ported from the Committee of the Whole on
Saturday last with the recommendation that it
do not pass.
The bill led to long debate, in which
Melsrg. Haven, Of New York, and Penning-
ton, Of New Jersey, favored the claim, and
Me3srs. Letcher, OF, Virginia, and Giddings, of
Ohio, opposed its passage.
The debate was terminated by the sudden
indisPosition of Mr.. Giddings, who, whilst
speaking with his characteristic earnestness,
fell fainting into his chair. Some confusion
ensued, which was promptly checked by the
energetic conduct of the Speaker; when, on
motion of Mr.. Orr, the House adjourned.

The House took up the private calendar. and
passed thirteen P, jvate bills.
Mr.. Kelsey, rising TO question of privilege.
offered preamble setting forth that joseph L.
Chester had been summoned before the corrup
ton investigating committee, and had neglected
to appear; and concluded with resolution that
the Speaker be directed to issue his warrant.
directed to the Sergeant at-Arms commanding
him to take into custody the body of Mr.. Ches-
ter, wherever found, and the same forthwith
bring to the bar Of the House, to answer for con-
tempt.
Mr.. Florence inquired where was the author
ity for all this?
Mr.. Orr was permitted to make statement.
The committee had not acted in this matter
without looking fully into the authorities, which
they thought fullyssustained them in the appE-
cation they had made.
a case occurred in 1917 or 'lS, to this effect:
A party applied to Levi Williams, a member of
this House, and proposed to pay him pecu-
mary consideration TO make favorable report
on certain bill. Mr.. Williams brought the
fact to the attention of the House, which order
ed the arrest OF the party in the language of
the resolution now before the House, which the
present committee copied from the proceedings
in that case. The party was brought before the
House, and, after trial, reprimanded only by the
Speaker, because there were mitigating circum-
stances.
After his discl lrge from custody, he institu
ted action agai st the Sergeant-at-Arms for
false inprisonm. At, The case was tried in the
United States Gil uit Court, and decided against
the plaintiff; ar on an appeal to the Supreme
Court, that tribl nGl decided that the House had
power, and that>t was properly exercised. The
Sergeant-at Arms was protected and the com
plant dismissed
The witness in the present case was subpp
naed, but failed to appear. If the House had
not power to enforce the attendance Of witnesses,
the investigation was mockery, and he (Mr.
ORR should not continue a member of the COM
mittee. If it had not power to enforce recu.
SAINTS to testify of facts within their knowledge,
the investigation would fall to the ground

Mr.. Chester is sick, and unable to be present
before the committee. | would ask the COM
mittee if they can produce evidence that Mr..
Chester refused to appear.
| Mr.. Paine. That is of no consequence to the
matter before the House.
The House refused to lay the resolution on
the table, and passed it by a nearly unanimous
| vote. RI
! The House then adjourned.
