Gallinger said that ne ID learned
something about the Robel.s case and
was satisfied that the senate was not
the place for the discussion GO the de-
tails OF this case. In the privacy OF
the committee rooms the statement OF
Mrs. Roberts, the secretary of the in
terror, the commissioner of pensions and
others could be heard upon the case
Then the case could be properly dis
cussed and investigated. Such cases as
this have no place in the senate cham
Der and II may be possible that ii will

In the matter. Allen contended that
there was a hint of something vitality
wrong in the moral character or Mrs
Roberts. He reviewed the case again
and discussed at some length its appli-
cation to the present agitation OF the

right of the secretary OF the interior,

the commissioner desired the place OF
