Of perjury.
Judge DiehTs statement is as follows.

stated that he would be pleased to have
a public answer to his question to me i'm

he shall have it.

Senator Hopkins sought in the inter

a modification of the senate amendment
making common carriers Of oil pine
lines. The Union company has a line
across the isthmUs Of Panama, and
Senator Morgan had the bill so amend
ed as TO apply to that line or other
lines on the isthmus.
Mr. Hopkins moved TO reconsider the
motion by which the amendment was
adopted.
Speaking to the motion, Senator
Morgan said the concession by the
president for a pipe line in the canal
zone had an oily, not TO say a fishy
smell, and was a peculiarly pronounced

had been denied the same privileges
granted to the Union company, and it
was "a sheer, cold usurDation Of
