limited last evening hat he was pre-
pared to open up a new line OF INQUIRY
TO-DAY. and that o number of witnesses

Uncle Dan Bradley. who wal one Of
the first members Of the Committee to
arrive, was considerably exercised over
a letter which came in his morning
mail. 1t contained a Chicago news
paper clipping three or four columns
long containing Advertisements evident

at 1915 A. M. 30 Mr.. Moss asked the Com.

wearing a leaf Of Ivy and a sprig of
shamrock In the buttonhole Of his coat.
He glanced with evident satisfaction ~

loin' ranged up behind the table. Some
Of them wore a look OF curiosity. Others
seemed frightened. AND one had a glance
OF defiance In her eye. as Mr.. Gon went
up to the desk TO have a preliminary
conference with the Senators.
All the members Of the Committee were
present with the exception of Senator
Saxton. Chairman Lexow made the an.
nouncenent that there were no suspi.
cions against Doorkeeper Anderson. who
had been spoken Of as having disap.
p=ared and was suspected OF having be.
trayed the secrets Of the Committee,
Anderson. he said. had been sent away
on work connected with the Committee.
Diver Not Heard From.
Has Police Justice Diver expressed
any desire to make a statement to the
Committee in vindication OF himselfT'
asked Chairman Lexow Of Mr.. Con.
II nave received NJ communication
whatever from Justice DIVER" said Mr..
Goff.
Ex-Judge Ransom said that although
he was not authorized to speak for
Justice Diver. he fancied that he was
more deliberate than Senator Roesch In
appearing before the Committee.
He said he saw In the morning papers
that Justice Olivier had been interviewed
and had denied very emphaticany the
truth Of the statements made against
him yesterday by Clarke. the bunco man,
and he presumed that the Justice re-
garded that as sufficient for the present.
w only wanted to give him an op,
portunity to appear personally should
he choose to do so," said Chairman
Lexow, I'm accordance with the pre-
cedent established in the case OF Justice
Roesch."
AS Justice Diver was not In the court
room and there was no>one there TO rep
resent him., II was taken for granted
that he regarded his denial 81 thu
charges against him in the newspaper
as ample.
