way, he always give Il significant look when
a point is made, Butler said the reason h,.
asked for rcrcading was because the
committee had sent Senator Matthews
an official copy of the evidence.
Mr. Cox who had hung his head up to this
time, remarked that he also gave the
senator. "a copy. Butler added that the SEN
ator knew enough about the evidence
to make a personal explanation
in the senate. Then it was whispered
around the room that Stanley Matthews had
again used too much paper and ink. This

to the subpoena there is a good
prospect of weeks debate on the subject
in the two houses. Before his action to-
day, Stanley Matthias was generally the sub
iect of pity, but now he cannot expect

one OF his reasons tor Keeping away

committee to offset Butler and Cox of the

Republicans, donot fairly represent the mi
nority; therefore, the Democratic minority
in the senate is fixed in the same way.
