post Offices and post roads. reported
the resolution authorizing the commit
tee to requesting the postmaster gen.
eral TO furnish the committee with all
papers in connection with the recent
investigation of the post office depart
ment and announced that the COM
mittee WAS unanimous in recommend
ing its adoption.
Ovcrstreet said that in view of the
large appropriation bin before the
committee it Should have all possible
information. II there hsd been eX-
t-avagance in the administration Of
the department. he said shat it was
essential that the committee knew the
facts before recommending appropria-
lions to the House.
Wanger. Rep. Pa, asked if there
was any objection to the papers coming
to the House and being made public.
Overstreet replied that he had 10 OBJ
lection to making them public, except

the prosecution OF pending cases.
Moon, DEM. Tenn. said the only pur-
pose of the Republicans was to supply
the committee With necdful Informal
ton and spoke for the resolution, amid
Republican applause.
The previous question was ordered
on the resolution by a yea and nay
vote Of 172 to 116.
Williams, Miss, moved to recommit
the resolution to the committee on
post offices and post roads with in
structions to the committee to report
an amendment providing that the
postmaster general be requested to
transmit to the House all papers and
evidence touching the Investigations"

pending, treaty cedinG the Isle Of Pines

tional authority for such action with
out the concurrent action of both
houses Of Congress. The resolution
authorized the committee on the judi
CilrE to make an investigation of the
question and report to the House.
Williams reserved tho right 10 make
q point OF order.
Crumpacker said it was proper that
the judiciary committee ascertain if
the Isle of Pines is 'territory of other
property Of the United States" within
the meaning of the constitution and if
50 whether the treatymakinG power
has the right to dispose of it without
the action OF Congress. He believed,
personally, that the treaty-makinG
power had the right.
Grosvcnor, Rep, Ohio. suggested
that the Senate was making an in
quiry into the same matter and said
there had been no indication as yet
that the Senate sought to encroach
upon the rights of the House. He said:
Suppose the House reports one way
and the Senate the other?"
"T suppose we would have TO sulrcn-
der" said Crumpacker.
Williams made his point or order
which the Speaker overruled and the
resolution was adopted. Al 2.05 p. NJ,

He declares he never asked Commits

serts that the Mayors statement is
made for the purpose of prejudicing
the findings of the committee by i'm
putting false motives to him, Mr.. Key

the charge that he is a factionist is
false, and he refers to Commissioner
Fox as authority for the statements he
made.
