been told that he would be entitled to mileage
Mr.. Dingley said that the committee had
considered the matter, but that so far as he
knew no information had been given to Owenby
as to his mileage.
NO INTENTION TO oBsTRucr THE INVESTIGATION
Mr.. Frank declared that he had no intention
OF obstructing any effort to secure the attend
ance OF the witness; but if the witness had de-
manded mileage and fees he (Mr. Frank)
thought that he would be entitled to both be-
fore responding to the subpoena. There was
nothing to indicate what Owenbys reply to the
subpoena had been.
Therefore it seemed to him that il would be
well to go slow before passing such a drastic

enforce the order.
After brief legal discussion as to the power
OF the House to compel the attendance Of wit

cited today by the hearing Of case in which
an agent sued a judge, claiming payment of
2 1000 marks (sJ00) as remuneration for pro-
curing defendant an appointment IN
the foreign Office. The Judge ad-
mitted the contract with the agent
but accused him Of needless delay in procuring
the appointment, as irritated by the plaintiff 5
procrastination he had gone TO another agent,
who procured him a position as Judge,
which proved 70 be more lucrative than
the first for which he applied. Az q
result of these extraordinary proceedings the
judge has been dismissed from Office and con-
sternation has seized upon the public. as the
German civil service has hitherto been con-
sidered above suspicion. To the prevailing
confidence in the system the discovery that
Offices are bought and sold has given a rude
shock.
