WASHINGTON Cry, April % Mr. d.
Humphries, of New ork, attorney for the
Globe Telephone company, was witness
before the Pan Electric telephone nvesti-
eating committee Wednesday. He went to
see Attorney General Garland about bring
ing suit against the Bell Tele-
phone company, and the latter cut
him right off and refused to talk
about it. Witness told him he
came to see the attorney general and not
MIR. Garland, to which the reply was made
that he cou,d not and would not have any
thing to do with instituting telephone suits
because he was personally interested in a
telephone company. The attorney general
refused to refer the witness to any one iu
the department OF Justice with whom he
could confer about the proposed suit Sub
seluently the witness presented his papers
for a suit to Solicitor General Goode.

said the witness, Il had a much better opin
ion of Mr. Garland than when | went there.
He certainly impressed me that he was above
corruption; above suspicion"
Did you try to corrupt him." joeularly
inquired Mr.. Ranney.
'No sir, | didn't" replied the witness
Witness then explained that he had been
suspicious of Democratic officials, having
never been a member OF that party himself.
He had however, found two honest Demo
cratic officials, of this he was sure.
"You would favor any officials said Mr..
Ranney, iii they subserved your interests"
We'll, none of these men subserved my
interests, retorted tho witness
Quite heated scene ensued between Mr.
Ranney and Chairman Boyle during the
cross examination of the next witness. Mr.
Ranney OF, ected to a question propounded
by Mr. Boyle Mr. Boyle then changed the
form of the question, when the objection
was again made. Again the form Of the
question was changed and again oh ection
made and Mr. Boyle ruled that his question
was in order.
Il gppeal from the chair" said Mr. Ran
ney.
This is another instance wherein the
gentleman from Massachusetts, Mr. Ran
neyl shows more interest in oyerruling the
chairman than bringing out the merits in
the issue, said Mr. Boyle
You are mistaken, replied Mr.. Ranney
warmly.
NO, l am not" said Mr.. Boyle, for it
has come to my notice so often, could not
be mistaken
Then call the chairman to order" ex-
claimed MIR. Ranney, springing to his feet,
for he has impeauhed my motives
Il move we adjourn until Thursday, in
terpolated Mr.. Hale
Something was said by Mr. Ranney about
retraction.
Il retract nothing" said Mr., Boyle, the
animation becoming exciting.
Then say your statement is FALSE" ex-
claimed Mr.. Romney, standing up within
arms length of Mr.. Boyle, who was seat ID
"Uh," retorted Mr.. Boyle looking Mr.
Ranney hard in the face, 'the remark is
ungentlemanly and | shall take no notice of
it"
For half minute not a word was spoken
in the committee room, one could hear the
small crowd of spectators present breathe
Finally Mr. Ranney sat down and the pro
position at issue was SO amended that it
was acceptable.
