GREEN HAND At LEVER LIGHT ON CORTELYOUB
Sen. Aldrich Yields to Dem
ocratic Demands to Inves-
tigate Bond Issue.

Washington. n C.. Dec. 1o.-There Is
to be searching inquiry into all the
acts of the treasury department during
the recent financial crisis
senator Aldrich. chairman Of the
committee on finance. gave his word
today that Secretary Cortelyou will he
asked TO explain every detail OF the
issue OF the treasury certificates. the
legality OF which has been questioned;
the bond issue, which has been at
tackled as unnecessary; the recognition
of clearing house certificates. and
ether phases Of the administration Of
the treasury. which have occasloned
criticism
This is a change IN the policy of
the republican leaders. They had arst
made up their minds not to have See
Rotary Cortelyou subjected 10 an EN-
barrassing catechism by democrats.
fearing that it might have disturbing
influence on the business situation. Ac-
cordingly it was all arranged 10 refer
the various resolutions demanding in
formation TO the committee on finance
and there put them to sleep.
CortelYOu Invites InvestIgation.
Democrats clamor for the facts and
a growing disposition Of the minority
TO hint at scandals induced the lead
ers TO decide on a full inquiry 1t is
understood that Secretary Cortelyou
sent word to AIdrich that he wanted
an investigation in order to refute
certain stories that have been circu-
lated seriously rejecting on the canal
bond issue. One story is that the is
sue was not for the purpose Of Sc
curing more national bank circulation,
but to enable certain banks TO file
these bonds in the treasury to replace
securities of questionable value that
had been accepted as security for the
deposit of public funds.
This circumstantial story is indig-
nantly denied by friends of Secretary
Cortelyou who assert that every step
taken by him to stem the tide of panic
and to restore public confidence will
be proved TO be in absolute accord
with the law.
Democrats Hint of Scandal.
The democratic senator's. however
refuse to take this view of the situa
ton, and are openly limiting at scan
dals.
When the Culberson resolution was
brought up today Senator AIdrich pre-
empted the floor and asked that this
resolution, together with the others on
the same subject. be referred to the
committee on finance.
The motion excited the suspicion
of Culberson. who said that unless
Aldrich would pledge his word that
action would be taken by the commit
tee within the week he would inter
! pose an objection to the reference OF
the resolution to that committee.
