IEtESiiGATIOE BY THE SPRINGER COMMITTEE.
First Controller Lawrence was examined before
the Springer investigating committee this morning
concerning the allowances for the payment OF
United States deputy marshaIS during the October
election in Ohio. He was questioned also as to the
law regulating the appointment OF deputy mar
shals and supervisors Of elections He read from
the Revised statutes the section requiring that
deputy marshals should be qualified voters in the
precinct In which they serve. With relation to the
approval OF accounts for the pay OF these officials
be said that In the absence OF any Impeachment 1t
would be assumed that the marshal had complied
with the provisions OF the law. He said that when
the accounts came to him he would give them
careful consideration. Judge Lawrence said he did
not think the accounting officers had any right TO
question the judgment Of the marshal as TO the
number OF deputies be should employ.
Thomas Cavanaugb, ex-assstant sergeant-at-
arms OF the House, was next examined. He said he
was In Cincinnati; was not deputy marshal. but

The Leak in the Senate.


4 GENERAL DTsINcLINATION OF SENATORS TO ENTER
UPON FRUITLEss INVESTIGATION OF THE MANNER r
IN WHICH THE TREATIES GOT OUT.
The executive session OF the Senate yesterday
afternoon was principally devoted to bewaltng the
fact that executive secrets can no longer be kept
The committee on foreign relations, to which
copies OF the pending treaties first sent, pre-
sented resolution for an investigation, with the
view OF finding out how the leak occurred. But
the proposition found no real supporters IL was
attempt would only bring the Senate into ridicuIe
The publication OF the Washington treaty and the
failure OF the Senate to discover how it got out
were relerred to as evidence Of the uselessness
Of such Inquiries. Some OF the old Senators, who
cling TO the notion OF tranSacting public business
son sr sa dv tmae executive
senate doors Nothing. they said, could be kept
from the press. and then when the rule requiring
the utmost secrecy was violated. the Senate was
powerless TO discover or punish the vioatOr OF It.

away with secret sessions and they enjoyed the
that it cOnnot enforce The toreign relations CON-

as possibly the committee might be under susp!-
cion because copies OF the treaties had been In its
put in the light OF investigating themselves. lt
was suggested that the committee on privileges
bers protested. They didn't want the job.
Finally. from several sources, came the suggestion
that the treaties might have got out from the
State department or the Government Printing
ofice. or, perhaps. the Nicarauguan minister
might have let one OF them out. Suspicion, It was
urged, need not necessarily foster upon the Sen
ate. Senator remarked that as the Presidents
message. accompanying the Ntcarauguan treaty,
was printed In connection with that instrument,
and as the minister could not very well have had

two the debate ran on, and at last the resolution
investigate was laid on the table by practically
unanimous vote, not even the members OF the
foreign relations committee voting against It. In
the course OF the debate 1t was admitted that the
Senate has no power to compel unwilling wit
