THE poSD rrscHAsE KEsolp1rox
Resolution OF yesterday presented by Mr..
stewart calling on the secretary of the
treasury for statement Of The Offers and
purchases OF bonds since April, 1Sss. with
the names. etc. was taken ftf, aud dis
cussed, Mr.. coekreii having moved 10
amend by striking out the names
NJ. Stewart argued against the amend
raenl He expressed the belief thar some
persons had srcres advantage In the matter.
Mr.. Berk thought the amendment 10
strike cat the names WAS esnineafly proper
The statement called for without giving
ualnesl would show whether the bids are
made Al any ioaer rates than usually rsit.
for bonds
posed the treasury hooks would not show
everything 10 be regular Did he no;
know II 10 be possible 10 have the word
passed around that Seme individual lad
the ear af the secretary. and that bonds
shoGid be offered thrpagh him The peop,s,
had the right 10 know with whom the
government was dealing.
Mr.. Beck said that the senator would not
rise and say that be believed or had any
reason TO believe that the secretary Of the
treasury bad refused any bid that WAS !, or
lilo or f-su1 Of one Per cent lower than he
actually paid. The senator would no,
aYow that IL aas not true and therefore no
good could come OF Publishing the naIses
Nothing bu. evil woniti come OF IL. fsrar,se
the men would be deferred from making
offers OF bonds in their oxn names. and
would have recourse 10 brokers, thus add.
ing 10 the cost
WANTED To sEg " THERE WAS HONEY
TRUST.
Mr. stewart said that ne did not want 10
expose anyhcdy's hand, but he wanted
to know whether thc-s existed a money
trust with the government
Mr. Coekreii modified his amendment 50
as TO insert after the names the words
other than private persons"
Mr. George asked Mr. Stewart whether he
had heard of any lower bid being rejected
and any higher bid accepted.
Mr.. Stewart-Sone whatever That Is
the Information want. II had that in
formation would moi be offering this reso-
ia.ion.
Mr ccckreii said fha; the senator from
Nevada would not dare TO charge any mis-
conduct 10 the secretary of tue treasury.
Mr.. Stewast--i will say this. thai the last
was run on the issue Of opening
the books, and now they are open, want
TO keep them open.
stAf ttf& tAf8t - - fGfl taflAI4 SsiF-
ierfuge in answer TO direct question The
senator from Nevada mas been attempting
by indirect means unworthy OF senator 10
cast reflections without having the nan.
ners or courage 10 make a direct charge
Every Bit of iufcrmuiien which the resOlu-
ton calls for is published In the newkpa,
pers every day, aud he knows H. IL Is
nothing but morbid curiosity that would
ask for the publication Of the names II
seems 10 me that the whole object al the
resolution is TO bring before the toRdhold-
ers the names and address of The grea, cor
poraiions and trusts that are offering bonds
10 the government. so that the individuals
may send their bonds TO them. IL IL q
cheap way of advertising at the public cx-
pense through the Associated Press
should think they could afford 10 pay
round sum of money for passing this rcso-
luton. and doubtless, II they were called
upon, they wu,lld contribute good round
rum 10 the campaign fund.
sESATo. srEwABT SUSPICIOUS
Mr.. stewart said that when ne osered the
resolution he had no suspicion that there
v AS anything 10 be ee4cred, hut his faith
has been sLaken By the vehenence with
10 ceneeai the facts. Where there
was 80 much smoke there must be some
tre.
Mr.. Call agreed that the resolution was
