In the House.

today Mr.. Stockbridge of Maryland. moved
to suspend the rules and pass the bill pro.
viding for government inspection of coal
mines in the territories; agreed to.
Mr.. Cooper of Indiana, rising to question
of privilege stated that one of the charges
made in the resolution offered by him for the
investigation of the Commissioner of Pen
sions was that the Commissioner was selling
stock in refrigerator company to employees
of the pension office. Today he learned that
one of the members Of the investigating com.
mittee, Representative Smyser Of Ohio, was
one of the stockholders. Mr.. Cooper offered
a resolution discharging Mr.. Smyser from
the committee and directing the Speaker to
appoint his successor.
Mr.. Smyser said he had no intimation he
was to be appointed on the committee until
the announcement was made by the Spe aker.
As member of the committee he had en-
tered upon the discharge of his duty and
done it faithfully and well. He did own
some stock but that fact In no manner could
effect the integrity or honor of an honest
man. His friends who knew him would
never impute to him want of honor or
want of integrity. He asked to be relieved
from further service on the committee. The
request was granted
