WASHINGTON, April 1b-Yesterday's ses-
sion Of the senate was the longest In open
session and the most interesting since the
present extra session. The day was passed
In debating the proposed Roach investiga-
ton. Unless the plans Of the leaders OF
both parties miscarry this evening will see
the session at an end. In tho executive
session yesterday afternoon, Just before
adjournment, tacit agreement was
reached between the Rspnhlf Ina and
Democrats that today there should be a
vote on the resolution proposing an in
vestigation Of Senator Roaoh,s career

mittee should notify the president that
the senate would adjourn at once unless
he desired 1t to remain longer The Dem
ocrats will vote down the proposed inves-
tigation of Senator Roach, the Republi-
cans being willing that the session should
close without an investigation since the
Democrats are willing to go on record to
that effect.
When the senate met yesterday Senator
Roach rose and said that he was perfectly
willing the investigation should be pro-
ceeded with and had refrained from pro
posing 1t on the advice of his Democratic
colleagues.
Senator Chandler spoke In favor of an
investigation and Voorhees, replied for the
Democratic side, denying the constitu-
tional right of the senate to make the in
quiry.
In his peroration voorhees, said he pre-
ferred to take Roach, with all the allega-
tions against him, he never having gone
to Canada, but having lived proper life
