WASHINGTON, June ., 1915
IN EXCITING SCENE ANTICIPATED IN THE
HoUsE-PossIBLE ATTACHMENT OF Mr..
BLAINE FoR CONTEMPT IN NOT PRODUCING
''THE PRIVATE LETTERS"
There is possibility OF uncommon scene In the
louise OF Representatives connection with the Blaine
ctters. Mr.. Blaine took the ground to-day before The
committee thc they were his letters and that he had
he right TO refuse them to the committee Ho did SO
efuse though he added that would invite the chair
nan Of tho committee, Mr. Hunton, democrat to
tome to his house private individual, but
not as a member of the committee. and read them
The committee incline the view, however, that
they have a right require him 10 produce them and
that II he refuses they may bring him before the
House for contempt The examination has proceeded
before subcommittee Of the Judiciary Committee,
and meeting OF the full committees is called for to-
morrow morning at halfpas nine O'Clock to determine
the question whether they shall in Mr.. Blaine
fuses further demand, declare him contempt and
bring him the bar Of the House. II they should de-
eide 10 do this il is understood that they will proceed
At once tomorrow 10 summon Mr. Blame, and If he
refuses produce the letters report tho the
House Immediately for its action.
A TERRIBLE BLOW AT THE CHARGE OF HARVEY
AGAINST SPEAKER KERR
The testimony oil Mr. Strousc in the OF Speaker
Kerr to-day put light the case and there is
yet other testimony which will break the
whole charge. Mr.. Kcrr's friends to keep the
defence private far they can until the prosecu-
ton have entirely dore, when they will proceed
THE WAR ON THE RESUMPTION AcT--Ar1ITUDE
OF SUNSET COMBINATION or Movk-
MENT TO STRENGTHEN THE INFLATIoNIsTs.
There is some excitement among the democrats
about the attitude OF Mr. Cox, Chan man OF the Bank
ing and Currency Committee toward the Resumption
act He is understood by many of his friends TO be
willing to a bill Tor the unconditional repeal of
the act The last democratic required the Gem
mittec Rules to report rule allowing the Banking
and Currency committee TO report at any time and the
avowed object OF this to enable the committee to
report repeating bill. So far, the Committee on
Rules has had quorum and has
not, therefore, acted and the Banking and Currency
Committee has not yet agreed upon any n
corning the Resumption act The vote of the House to
repeal would have practical effect, as the Senate
would concur but would doubtless strengthen
in1atonsts in the West, and Is considered here AS
movement in the interest Of Mr., Hendricks or some
and Cox. II any movement made toward repeal it
Resumption act read to tho House by the
clerk twice week for two weeks before
vote is taken upon it. 1t is suspected that but
small minority OF the members have ever taken the
trouble 10 read or study II. The usual argument
against it is that you can't in 1879, which is
not true
