over other dealers. IL is certain that fow specua-

When Secretary WndOms attention was called

that until proofs presented that the statement

THE ATTACKS ON NEX-SECRETARY SHERMAN.
THE REPORT ON WHICH THEY ARE SAID TO BIZ BASED
TO BIZ LAID BEFORE THE SENATE.
lRY TELEGRAPH TO InE TRIBUNE.l

TO BIZ LAID BEFORE THE SENATE.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRIBUNE.l
WASHINGTON, Oct Ex-senator Sherman has at
last succeeded securing the passage OF his reson
ton calling for the report Of the Treasury nvesi-
eailon; which report Senator Sherman's enemies
have for months been asserting would show his lack
of official and personal integrity The resolution
did not pass without struggle and the defeat by a
strict party vOte-except that of Senator David
Davis. who voted with the Repuhicans-Of an
amendment offered by Mr.. Farley, of California.
Mr. Farley was extremely anxious that the Z" tes-
tilnony upon which the report was based should
also be furnished To the State.
Sir. Sherman explained that, while he had no obec-
ton the publication Of this testimony he supposed
that large part consisted of pare sta ements not
made under oath, of anonymous letters addressed
70 the Department, of newspaper clippings etc.
No doubt some o. this loose and irregular material
reflected injuriousy and unustly upon certain sub
ordinate officers Of the Treasury Department, and
certainly it would be unjust TO them TO publish it.
Moreover, he said, the attacks upon his personal
Integrity in the newspapers have been based upon
assertions as to what this report contains. IT, after
having examined the report, the Senate considered
any further investigation necessary, committee
could be empowered to conduct it in regular
manner and he shonld offer no objection.
1t is evident that Mr. Farley. the Democratic Sem
ator from California does not read the Democratic
newspapers very carefully; otherwise his attention
would have been arrested by some of the innuIner-
able accusations against Senator Sherman ana Sec
retary Window win which those journals have
teemed during the last four months against Ar.
Sherman because Of damaging disclosures coutained
In the report. and against Secretary Window for
his turpitude in suppressng that document in order
20 screen the guilty ex-Secretary. Mr. tarey's
amendment was defeated by a vote of 23 against
21, aud the orlgina, resolution was then
adopted without a division. Neither Senator
Sherman Secretary Window has ever
seen the testimony taken by the committee
Of Treasury clerks. II is voluninous. and ID
