MR.. BAKERS RESOLUTION.
House Judiciary Committee Voted to
Law It on the Table.

The House committee on the judiciary,
after brief hearing this morning, voted to
table the resolution introduced by Repre-
sentative Baker of Brooklyn looking to the
criminal prosecution of Secretary of the
Navy Morton on the charge of having given
secret rebates to the Colorado Fuel and
Iron Company while second vice president
of the Atchison, Topeka and Sante Fe rail-
road. In charge of traffic matters. Repre-
sentative Baker, in urging the committee to
report favorably his resolution calling
on the Attorney General for a judicial opin-
lon as TO the nature of Secretary Morton's
onense. said that the facts upon which his
resolution was based had not been denied.
1t was admitted, he said, that the secret
rebates had been given to the Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company by Mr.. Morton's
road The Secretary of the Navy had pub
ltcly defended. he said, the action of Mr.
w, b. Biddle, who granted the secret re-
bate, and who was an immediate subordi-
nate OF Mr.. MortOn'S. All the facts in the
case, Mr.. Baker commended had been dis
closed during recent hearings before the in
terState commerce commission at Ell PaSo
Albuquerque and Chicago. The secret re-
bates amounted to 80 per cent of the pub
Hshed rates, Mr.. Baker declared, and in
VOWED a large amount of money. showing
NOT only specific violation of the law but
throwing light on the general subject of
the evils Of secret rebates and the manner
In which trusts prospered under them. The
bIpohlyn representative look occasion to
denounce the Standard Oil trust in I'M
measured terms, and wound up by asking
the committee If 1t was intended to permit
the facts laid before 1t to go to by default,
and to make no effort to find out the true
state of the case and to punish the guilty
Mr. Baker was frequently interrupted by
members of the judiciary committee who in
quired concerning his resolution and its
purpose. Finally. after Mr.. Baker had con-
cluded Chairman Jenkins of the commit
tee explained that the committee had no
authority to call on the attorney general
for a judicial opinion. this being vested in
the President alone. Mr.. Baker protested
against this ruling. but without avail and
finally the committee, after a brief execu-
tive session. announced that the resolution
had been tabled. There was considerable re-
lief apparent in the minds of the members
of the committee that a judicial loophole
which permitted the laying of the resolu-
ton on the table had been found

Which will. they think circumvent the
order CT the President that no employe of
an executive department who Is a notary
public shall charge fee TO fellow-employes
Tor swearing them for any purpose con-
nected with the service.
They appear to think the order covered
only that part of the day when they were
at their labors. and that If they wished 10
charge fee at other times it would not
violate the order. In following out this
plan II Is said that they will open their
private desks before o o'clock and admin
lister oaths at the rate of p cents per oath
also that the same thing will be done after
the regular closing hour of the department
at $50 O'Clock. 1t remains to be seen
whether or not they will be permitted to
take this step.
