The San Francisco call., 1905-02-01
RESOLUTION ADOPTED.

|
of the resolution, saying that it con-
tanned the same faults as those that
resulted in the discharge of Corbin
after he had been arrested upon order
| of the Senate for violation of its pro-
cess. The Continental Building and
Loan Association should have been
| specifically named in the resolution he
| said, and he doubted whether the reso-
| luton as ii stood would withstand the
| assault Of the respondent corporations.
He did not wish to be understood as
being opposed. to the investigation of
the Continental or any other building
/ and loan association Notwithstanding
his usual antipathy to special commit
tee Investigations, but he would like to
| see this committee start right that it
| might not receive another setback.
RalSton said, however, that he had
| looked carefully into the law and was
confident that the naming In the reso-
| luton of specific line of corporations
| to be investigated was sufficient that
| it was not necessary that the Cont
mental be named as it fell under the
| heading of the character Of corpora
| tions to be investigated. This ended
| the discussion and the resolution was
adopted The committee will be ap-
pointed tomorrow.
| During the discussion Of the resolu-
| ton Senator Emmons sat in the lobby,
! the picture of despair. He said that
though he had withdrawn his motion
! that he be permitted to remain away
| from the sessions of the Senate during
the pendency of the Investigation of
| the charges against him, his withdraw
al of the motion being at the instance
| of friends on the floor, he did not feel
| that he had a right in the chamber un-
F, til he had been exonerated and hence,
after responding to roll call each day,
! he would take no further part in the
| proceedings until after the conclusion
of the investigation, and then only If
| the report was favorable to him, but he
| had no fears that 1t would not be.
| Senators French and Wright sat
| throughout the session, but took no ac-
| tive part in the proceedings, as has
been their custom. Bunkers was not
present and all sorts Of rumors were
af1oat as to his whereabouts and in
tents, one being that he had decided to
tell all he knew regarding the alleged
culpability of himself and associates.
All of these rumors lack confirmation,
however, and are but the natural re-
suit of Bunkers' unexplained absence
from his place in the upper house.
