Monday a number of measures Of minor
importance were passed under suspen-

Mr. Cooper lind. J, rising TO a question
of privilege, stated that one of the
charges made in tho resolution offered
by him for the investigation of
the Commissioner of Pensions was
that the Commissioner was selling
stock in a refrigerator company TO
employees of the Pension Office.
He had in vain attempted TO obtain
the names of the stockholders 10 the
concern. He had just learned land his
knowledge was borne out by the testi-
mony) that one OF the mem bers of the
investigating committee - Representa-
tive NJ. L. Smyser 20. was one Of the
stockholders. He (Mr. "copper" there
fore offered a resolution discharging
Mr.. Smyser from the committee. and
directing the Speaker to appoint his
successor.
Mr.. Smyser defended his position. He
said that he never had the slightest
idea that he was to be appointed on the
committee until it was announced from

Instantly IL became apparent that Mr..
Smyser ought TO retire, for Mr.. Burrows
and other Republicans went over and
talked to him earnestly. Soon after,
while Mr. Holman was speaking, Mr..
+ Smyser rose and asked 10 be excused
from further service. Mr.. Cooper then
withdrew the resolution and the matter
