WASHINGTON, Aug. 2l.-The
I Raum Investigation was resumed
this,morning and Cooper, who made
the Charges, made brief explana-
ton OF his position, after which
Raum took the stand. The witness
denied that any employee Of the
pension Office save himself ever
owned stock In the refrigerator
company and consequently the
charge that employees had been pro-
NOTED because Of such ownership
was false.
Cooper then demanded 10 see the
hooks Of the company, but Raum
refused to produce them. He was
willing that members OF the COM
mi,tCe should inspect the stock
book Of the company, hut not that
u should 90 into the records. Mr..
Raum said that Cooper gave to the
press everything he got hold Of and
has made public documents entU>t-
Ell to him for inspection 10y tile CON-

Cooper insisted on seeing the
hooks himself, and upon the CDm-
miitee's refusing gathered up his
hooks AMI Iapcrs aud left the room.
The committee then resumed
the investigation on their own

Raum said, after further eXamiu-
alton and consideration Of the mat
ter. that he,on December -, issued
anOrder concerning completed files,
on which were put cases which
seemed to be most complete and
ready for adjudication. This had
the effect Of greatly eNpediting the
work o; the Office. Captain Lemon
had nothing b DO, he asserted, with
the preparation OF this OF any sub

Representative Cooper was re-

and resume consideration OF the
case, which he did, and theoommit'
