How Do the Senate Secret Pfoeeedil9s
Laak Out TO The Public


WAsHIssros, Feb. 25-Several unim-
poftant bills we're passed. The Senate
proceeded to the consideration Of the bill to
declare unlawful, trusts and combinations
in restraint Of trade and production. Sher-
man Who reported bill from the committee
on finance, said he was Instructed BY the
committee to move 10 strike out the third
section. (which FIXES penalties for offence

George opposed the bill on the ground Of
it ineficiencv, il the bill vas constitutional,
and on the ground that Congress had not
the constitutional poseR to enact it,
His srgumen. vas mainlv Of legal and
technical character. designed to prove that
1t would be impossible ever to get convic-
ton under the bill, - TO the civil service
provided for 10 IL. He said that few such
events would ever be instituted and not one
would be successful. He characterized
the bill ~ an abortion that would aggravate
rather than diminish the evil. He quoted
Sherman's statement made in the last Con-
gress, to the effect that trusts could be
best put down by larif legislation. and
argued that this bill entirely ignored that
idea. The bill was framed, he said, with
such utterly contradictory and irreconcili-
able ends that it could not fail to be An
inefficient and miserable sham. The evils
against which the bill aimed, be said, de-
manded redress and it was the duty Of Con-
gress to furnish the remedy.
He believed that the bill was wholly in
adequate, . mere delusion, and not = real
and efficient measure, but he thought the
real remedy could be found.
Reagan gave notice Of the amendment he
intended to offer to the bill, 1t being the
bill offered BY him the fourth of December
last.
The bill went over without action. After
9 brief executive session the Senate At 4 SO
adjourned till tomorrow.

How Do the Secret Doings OF the
Senate Leak Out?

Dolph investigating committee today con-
tinued the inquiry into the methods by
which the proceedings of the executive ses-
sions Of the Senate became public.
Jules Guthridge of New York Herald.
A. j. Halford Of Associated Press. George
Grantham, Balm United Press. NJ. G. Seek
endorf Of New York Tribuae, and Frank A.
Depuy of New York Times testified they
had written reports of the proceedings of
the executive sessions of the Senate the
18th and 18th inst, at which the nomina-
ton of Gen. Morgan was confirmed and
the British extrsdition treaty ratified, but
when asked to give the sources Of informa-
ton declined upon the ground that it would
be gross BETRAYAL of confidence.
Seckendorf and Depuy were asked if
they de clined to answer for fear of sub
jecting themselves to a criminal prGsecu-
ton, aud promptly replied in the negative.
Depuy stated that in all his experience he
had never known an instance where the
proceedings in executive session were di-
vulged by an employe of the Senate, or of
newspaper man who asked an employe
for such information. The committee will
continue the inquiry tomorrow.
Gen. Morgan, Indian Co nmissioner, be-
fore the committee yesterday, was asked If
he could explain an item published Feb.
l3. stating that he had received 5-minute
balletins of the progress in the considera-
ton Of his case in executive session. He
said he did not receive any bulletins but
learned of his confirmation before leaving
the capitol.
Under the new rule put into effect today
when the Senate went into executive ses-
sion, tie press lobby in the rear Of the
press gallery in which are located capitol
offices, the associated press and united
press, as well a. the committee rooms on
the gallery floor were cleared. and . strict
watch kept over them until the Senate
doors were open I'd again. The door lead
ing into the document room from the corri-
dor twenty feet away from the Senate walls
securely locked to keep out any newspaper
man who might succeed in evading the
Gordon guard at the bottom Of the stairs.
The doorke epers are required to move their
chairs and persons further away from the
holy of holes. Up to the present time
they are allowed to stay within six feet Of
the doors, now they must move to . mini
mum distance of ten feet. This rule in
several instances pushed doorkeepers into
committee rooms on opposite side of the
corridors.
The executive session this afternoon was
devoted to confirming nominations and re-
ceiviDg reports from committees. favor
able report was made by the commerce
committee upon the nomination of H. C..
