major general, have been prepared in the
form of a brief to be used by the OPP
ponents of his nomination, when the re-
port of the committee shall be presented
for action by the senate in executive ses-

The brief declares that most of the i'm
portant matters brought out in the hear
ing came TO public knowledge subse-
quent to General Woods promotion to
be brigadier general and that no COM
petent investigation has yet been made
in regard to the actual facts of Cen

for the admission of ex-parte testimony
and in that connection attention has been
called by the minority to an order issued
