The secrecy governing Senatorial eau
Gus is supposed to be inyiolable and siren
uOuS efforts are apparently made to
keep the proceedings out of print.
The Senators retire 1ntu the marble
room. as rule, and the glass doors lead
ing into the rear lobby are closed and
guarded b two wdtChm III a. each end.
Further, the Senators, in trying to secure
safety from eager interviewers, had made
a rule prohibiting the opening Of the lobby
doors until some minutes after adjourn
ncnt of the caucus This was done to per
init them to sneak Off after the secret con
ference and evade newspaper men, per-
haps creditors, and certainly few ante
diluvian female lobbyists.
In spite Of all this within five minutes
after a caucus everybody knows what hap
pened and nobody can locate the origin
of the first story put into circulation.
The fact is, and it is often the case in
criminal and civil matters, that the men
who make the laws are very frequently
the worst lawbreakers. They tell the
reporters on the quiet and openly insist
that they are pledged not To tell.
