attorneys and were excused until tonight
for that purpose.
When they appeared tonight they said
their attorneys held that the senate had
no jurisdiction in the investigation of the
alleged bribery Of a member of the house,
and had advised them not to answer any
further questions before the committee.
They all followed the advice of their at
torneys. as did Mr.. Hollenbeck, who was
not on the stand last night.
When the committee found that the ad-
vice of the attorneys was being followed
uniformly by all witnesses called. the open
session was closed, and the committee
went into executive session to make plans
for further proceedings.

tration to UniOnixc state
Printing Oftice.

SPOKANE, Jan. 1s--At today's session
of the Northwest labor congress resoin-
tions were passed severely condemning
State Printer Gwin Hicks. In part tho
resolutions say:
Hicks has frcm the day of assuming
office, pursued such tactics toward union
printers that there is no ground for any
other conclusion than that he has not only
violated his political promises ana rtiika-
tions but has done 80 wiIlfuliy and with
a premedjtated design 10 bring about an
open rupture with organized labor.
ITO the worltingmen whose franchises
elected him ~ a responsible and l5c.atsyo

But the president had gone further. He

Further even than this the president

Miles Has Best of AIger

Chicago Chronicle
Secretary Alger is being severely
criticised, not only for what he has
printed. but for what he has omitted
TO print in his official statement to the
war investigation committee. In the
first instance Secretary Alger was re-
buked by the members of the COM
mittee- His first series of answers to
their questions was incomplete, so in
complete that it was sent back with
the polite request that he furnish
more facts or kilograms from the ac-
tual records. The secretary COM
piled and returned the document rs it
was presented Yesterday.
After reading and digesting it war
department officials are now asking
about the statements made by Gen.
Miles which reflected on the
secretary of war and Adjt. Gen. Cor
bin, and what about dispatches which
were stated by Gen. Miles to have
been suppressed or garbled. Why
has Secretary Alger refused to send to
the committee any kilograms he has
which would disprove the grave
charges made by Gen. Miles against
the integrity of the conduct of the
war department.?
The majority comment is that Sec
rotary Alger has confessed to the al
legations of Gen. Miles, and has now
demonstrated that he did not dare to
ask the president to discipline Gen.
Miles for his interviews published
some time ago.
