nesses was such long one that II was
not completed when the session closed,
and a number remained on this ac-
count uncalled, but that was not the
fault of the committee.
Before the hearings began, the COM
mittee voted unanimously not to ad-
nit the public to the hearings The
room was entirely inadequate for such
a purpose and experience has shown
that admitting the public only delays
investigation. The committee admitted
representatives of the several press as
sociatons. covering substantially all
the newspapers of the United states.
They had stenographers present and
were at liberty to take down every
word uttered in the committee room
and did take down great deal OF 1t.
They sent out very full reports which
the entire newspaper press of the
country was at liberty to use to any
extent. Copies of the full stenographic
reports of the hearings were furnished
on the afternoon of the same day that
the testimony was taken to the spe-
cial correspondents, and the official
report of the proceedings was always
in print on the following day and
ready for distribution to any one who
desired it. No more thorough means
could have been adopted for the utmost
publicity
There was no suppression Of testi-
mony or of witnesses, and no refusal
to call anybody except in the five cases
mentioned. These are the plain facts
about the alleged suppression.
