Alleged Crooked Transaction.

Alleged Crooked TfAuDNctlou.
Washington, May q. The senate COM
lmittee on printing continued yesterday
behind closed doors Its investigation of
the publication and methods of distrib-i
luting The Messages and Papers Of the
Presidents by the corporation known
as the committee on distribution. Rep
sresentative Richardson, of Tennessee,
who compiled the work and turned
over to the committee on distribution
the plates voted him by congress-, maae
a further statement regarding his con-
Inection with the enterprise.
James s. Barcus, OF the committee on;
distribution, was also examined as to
the methods of selling the publication
by subscription He said he was the
originator OF the system and asserted
that 1t was perfectly legitimate. The
complaints made against the commit
tee, he said, were only the usual 10 per
cent OF complaints received by publish
ers selling hooks. on subscription. THE
only difference in this case was that
the complaints We're made not TO the
publishers, but to congress.
George w. SeaNer, of Akron, o., a
member of the Ohio state senate and
counsel for the committee on distribu-
ton, was also heard by the Investigate
ling committee, and Ainsworth Il. Spot
ford. assistant librarian of the library
of congress, made statement regard
ing his connection with the committee
on distribution. Mr.. Spofford testified
that he had been merely an employe of
the distribution committee, but had
severed his relations with 1t. The COM
mittee then adjourned until Wsdnes-
day.
To a reporter Mr.. Barcus afterward
stated that the committee had shown g
disposition to treat him fairly. He had
explained to the committee the busi-
mess methods Of the committee on dis
I5tribution and he and his assistants had
no fear of the results of the investiga-
ton.
During the examination of Barcus 1t
was stated that 10000 sets Of the mes
sages and papers had 80 far been sold
and delivered to subscribers by the
Bcompany.
The utmost secrecy is observed in re-
/ gard to this hearing, the members OF
| the committee refusing to give out the
1 facts brought out during the examina-
tion. Its star chamber proceeding
and considerable adverse criticism Is
heard about the efforts of the commit
1 tee in shielding those engaged In the
transaction and endeavoring to Keep
| the public in Ignorance Of the facts.
