Washington, Jan. 25.-The inquiry Or
dered by the house of representatives
as to what members We're holding out
side extraordinarily intended to de-
termine the status of Major General
Wheeler and other members in the
army-was begun yesterday by the
committee on judiciary. The main in
terest attached to the statement of
General Wheeler which was formally
prepared, and was in part as follows:
IF the extreme view Is taken that
the clause in the constitution is man
datory and that it applies to all men,
bers of congress who accept offices Of
temporary character. which may be
terminated at any moment, then the
government will frequently find itself
embarrassed in selecting men for cer-
tain duties. For instance. it would
have been unfortunate if the president
had been inhibited from appointing
Senators Davis, Frye and Gray on the
peace commission. Senators Morgan,
Cullom and Representative Hit on the
Hawaiian commission, and Mr.. Dingley
and Senators Fairbanks and Faulkner
on the Canadian commission. 1t would
also have been unfortunate had he been
inhibited from appointing such dis
tinguished and able man as Senator
Morgan on the arbitration court in
Paris.
1.-The committee will readily under
stand my embarrassment in a matter
of this character. There are three other
members Of this house who have ac-
cepted military commissions, and some
Is others who have accepted civil po-
sitions. 1t would be very unjust to
them for me to have assumed to decide
this question by attempting to resign,
as 1t has been urged that such action
on my part would be used as an argu-
ment against their right to retain their
seats in congress. Again, I have re-
celved continued and urgent appeals
from my constituents not to resign.
I'm Difference to the viewS OF the dis
tfnguished members Of congress who
are insisting upon my seat being va
Gated, have studiously refrained from
taking an active part in the proceed
ings Of congress. 1 have not drawn
any congressional pay, mileage or clerk
hire since May 4, Notwithstanding that
have been compelled to employ clerks
at my own expense to perform routine
duties'

Clearing House Records Broken.

New York, Jan. 25-Monday's enor-
nous Stock Exchange business caused
breaking of the records yesterday in
the clearing house of the city banks
as well as In the Stock Exchange clear
ing house. 1t is estimated that if all
the clearings had been made through
the former institution, as was the case
during the speculative era in the sos,
the total clearings would have reached
$500 1000. 600. The total clearings at the
banks clearing house yesterday
amounted to $347 7,216.S33. The next larg
est clearngs were on Jan. 4. when they
aggregated s3l5,2S6,OO This was the
largest total since Feb. 2S. before the
Stock Exchange clearing house was
established, when 1926. PSI, 422 were
cleared in q single day.

THE CUBAN TAXES.
Spanish Bank at Havana VIII Proba-
bly, Not Collect Them.


bly, Not Collect Them.
Washington, Jan. 25.-The protest
against the continuation of the Span
ish bank at Havana as medium for
tax collection was thoroughly discussed
. at the cabinet meeting yesterday, and
General Brooke's statements of OBJ
lection carried conviction into the
minds Of the cabinet officers, although
mo final action was taken. The Of
hciais Of the war department. 1t should
be stated, in contemplating the con.
tnuation Of the old system, had 1t In
mind only as a temporary expedient,
believing that It afforded the cheap
est and quickest method Of meeting the
difficulty the United States government
found itself in in the efforts to take upon
itself the tax collections They are,
however. perfectly willing to accept
as sound General Brooke's suggestion.
Therefore. 1t may be expected that the
original plan will be abandoned.
General Brooke's statement declares
that the taxes were eavy, unequally
laid and collected in al extortionate
manner. The Cubans thoroughly dis
trust the institution for its acts in
the past. and 1t should not now be re-
tained in the reorganization Of the gov
ernment.
Respecting the arrears of taxes Gen.
eral Brooke believes that the people in
most cases are unable to pay them. and
he thinks that all rural taxes that were
due, but not paid on Dec. 81 and all
city taxes and those on ground mort
cages In towns wholly or partially de-
stroyed during the war that were un-
paid Dec. 81 should be remitted, as
well as all money due the state for
transfers of property or interest due
the state on ground mortgages due and
unpaid June 90 last. 1t is also recon-
mended that property taken by the
state be restored. provided the owner
makes claim within a year, and that
no innocent third party has acquired it.
