The House adopted "A resolution appointing
committee Of three of its members to prose-
cute certain persons charged with bribery in
connection with the McCarrell Jury bill and
the contest for United States Senator. A
clause appropriating $1,000 to pay the expense
OF the prosecution will be inserted in the
General Appropriation bill with the consent
Of the House.

General Elkin 10 lend the prosecuting com
mittee such aid as they may need in conduct
ing the prosecution. 1t Is likely that war
rants will be sworn out for the arrest of the
men Implicated before the adjournment of

The men charged and against whom prose-
culions will be brought are John ]. Coyle

Jones. The committee will employ private
counsel aud arrange for a speedy trial.
The m jJrity and minority reports of the
investigating committee, together with a
supplemental report were adopted as whole
by the House after a spirited discussion. The
original report set forth that undue means
were taken by many to corruptly solicit
members Of the House that rooms were
maintained at the Lochel hotel where the
following parties approached uemhers yybo
were attempted to be bribed viz. !
Coyle, C. b. spatz, T. NJ, Moyles, NJ. J.

the last named gentleman not having taken
an active part in the corrIpt solicitation Of
members, but his own room apparently with
his consent having been used by the parties
above named for the purposes charged +" The
report recites much of the testimony taken
during the investigation.
