WHlTESIDE CROSS-EXAMINED
He Says That BE Tried to Entrap Clark
Friends.
Denies That He Has Received Money
to Give His Testimony to
the Committee,

Former State Senator Whiteside of Mon
! tana continued his testimony in the Clark
senatorial case before the Senate commit
tee on privileges and elections today
de was cross-examined by ex-senator
Faulkner
The examination brought out the fact
That MIR. Whitesfde, as member of a COM
mttee to investigate the state capitol conf
mission had made a minority report
charging corruption. He was asked if this
was the case in which he had suggested to
Mr. J. P. McCabe that this minority report
could be suppressed for $500 but denied
that such was the case, saying that the
money had been offered and he had s,lg-
gested that it be paid over, SO as to enable
him to turn it in with his report.
He said that his sole purpose in under
taxing the exposure of bribery in the legis-
iature that elected Mr. Cralk was to pro-
! tect the good name of the state
Il desired he said, Ito have some one
accept the money, SO as to expose the
methods of Mr. Clark"
Did You become a friend of Mr. Clark 5
them?'
II can't say exactly, but suppose did. -
DID you think this proper course to
Il did think so. and l Still think so"
In doing this didn't you know that Won
were assuming an attitude of misrepre-
sentation?'
Il did"
Was not this position of falsehoodo''
i can't say as to that. but | had to make
humpcr OF misrepresentation"
Definition of a Lie.
What do you consider a lie?"
1 consider a lie misstatement to one
who has right to know the truth-not
to one who has no right to know it."
Mr.. Whiteside said he did not see how
any honest man could vote for Mr.. Clark
after the exposure of the committee on in
vestgation, and added under pressure that
the remark applied to the fifty-four mem
befs OF the legislature who cast their vote
Tor that gentleman. He said in reply to a
question that Marcus DAILY was an ac-
quaintance of his, not a friend, though he
should be glad to have him for friend.
Have you received $4,000 for this pre-
tended eXposure?' asked Mr.. Faulkner
Il have not received $4,000 or any other
sum for that SERVICE the witness re-
piled.
Relating his conversation held with Sem
ator Clark prior to the latters election he
said he was positive that Mr.. Clark HIM
self had said among other things that
state Senator Anderson could not be in
huenced with money like some of the other
members and that this statement was
not made by Mr.. Welcome, as appeared in
the printed report of his testimony before
the grand jury of Lewis and Clark coun-
ties.
The witness said the money to pay for
the present prosecution had been raised by
subscription, and that he understood that
Mr.. Daily was one of the subscribers TO the
fund.
The cross-eXamiuation further brought
out that the witness had no personal
knowledge of bribery in the case of three
of the members of the assembly who had
been referred to.
At noon the committee took a recess I'M
til 2:3O pm

REFERENCE LIBRARY
Resolution for Its Establishment Passed by
the House
Various Opinions Expressed by Mem
berS During the Debate on
the Subject.

The House today adopted a resolution
providing for the establishment of refer
tnce library IN the old Congressional Lii
lieu of the Senate resolution dividing the
space equally between the House and SEN
ate for committee rooms.
Mr. Dalzen in reporting the resolution
from the committee rules. said it was
designed to throw the matter into confer
ence. 50 that a plan could be adopted
which might be a compromise between
the two plans. He said it would cost s125
900 to equip the space for committee
Guired for the reference library
Various Opinions Expressed.
Mr. Dalzell caused to be read the letter
from Librarian Putnam recently published
in The Star. favoring the establishment of
a reference library
Some debate followed and varying opin-
ions were expressed by members of the
House. Mr.. Babcock suggested that the
library should not occupy all the space, and
that as room WAS badly needed for the
committees. some portion of the space
should be- used for that purpose. Mr. Me-
CIeary thought that portion could be
used for the library and the remainder for
committee rooms.
Mr. Bartholdt urged the purchase of adj
htlonal quarters outside the Capitol for
committee rooms in which he was Joined
by Mr.. Moody of Massachusetts
Mr. ShafrOth wanted the Supreme Court
library included in the space set aside for
the reference library Mr.. Cannon and Mr..

WILL COURT INVESTIGATION
The Administration Will Interpose No OBJ
stacle to Congressional Inquiry.
Every Act of the Executive May Be
the Subject of
Scrutiny.

The administration has declared ITSELF
through the course of men in Congress
known to act IN harmony with the Presi-
dent in such matters, on the subject of in
vestigations into the acts Of the President
and his officials. The policy has been
adopted by the friends of the President of
permitting the scrutiny by Congress into
every act of the executive where there is
any sort of warrant for inquiry. There has
been some hesitation on the part of friends
of the administration about letting the
great mass of inquiries that have been pro-
posed by resolutions get through, and there
has been considerable talk over the subject.
1t is fully recognized that the opponents of
the administration design to attack the
executive through resolutions of inquiry
which imply suspicion or knowledge of
error and to promote Investigations with
the hope Of bringing out something which
will open the administration to criticism.
Some OF these inquiries may be pertinent
and made in good faith, while others ap-
pear to have no other object than to an
noy.
No Obstacle to Inquiry.
The general conclusion of friends of the
administration after talking the matter
over. is that there should be no obstacle
thrown in the way Of senators and men,
bers of the House desiring information, and
that IL the inquiries or any of them are
obviously not made in good faith the ad-
ministration can stand the inconvenience If
the instigators of the inquiry can stand
the odium which will result from RESPONSE
bility for foundationless insinuations.
1t Is felt that if any attempt We're made
TO hold resolutions of inquiry within bounds
party capital would be sought to be mad,,
by the opposition through charges that the
republicans were afraid to have the light
turned on to the administration.
In consOnance with the policy of letting
the resolutions of inquiry have free rein
the House authorized today investiga-
ton by the post office committee of the
charges that the President had knowingly
appointed polygamist postmasters in Utah.
The Senate adopted one of the Pettigrew
resolutions, and it is commonly understood
In the Senate that the Pettigrew resolu-
tons with reference to the Philippine war
set for consideration on Wednesday. and
probably all the rest of the multitude of
Pettigrew resolutions of inquiry, will be
adopted either in the original or by substi-
