DRAMATIC SCENE ENACTED
AT BAILEY INVESTIGATION Y
Senator Bailey Characterizes Some of the Statements
'.An Infamous Lie"-He Becomes Enraged and Asks
That Insults be Stopped and That He be Permitted
to Return to Washington.

Austin, Tex, Feb. 13.--Declarine
that "all this prattle is lie," and
urging that the comittee interpose
and stop these insults offered,
United States Senator Joseph w.
Bailey brought to a climax yesterday
afternoon one of the most exciting
days session Of the Legislative
committee appointed to investigate
certain charges filed against him
by Representative Cooke.
This was in reply tc request OF
Representative Cooke that additional
witnesses be summoned by which
he hoped to prove that Senator
Bailey had borrowed $1,000 of j..
d. Suggs of Iron county.
When 1t was suggested that the
committee leave at once for st =,
Louis. where additional testimony
Is to be taken, Senator Bailey pro-
tested that he should not be CON-
PEELED to 80 over the country us the
principal in an investigation Of this
nature. 1t also developed that the
committee is adverse TO allowing
testimony adduced to appear in the
record before being censored by a
majority of the committee assisted
b. Senator Bailey.
When Representative Cooke was
asked whether he had any more
witnesses TO come before the COM
mittee and that what he intended to
prove by them, he replied that there
were six or seven additional Wit
ncsses whom he desired examined.
among them J. ID. Suggs. of Iron
county. who had been summoned.
but had been prevented by illness
from coming before the committee.
He said he expected to prove that
Suggs has or has destroyed a note
fer $1,000. given to him, or his dead
brother. by Senator Bailey.
Senator Bailey Indignantly replied:

, "Mr. Chairman, that is a lie. II
| is infamy to allow any man to stand
here and make statement that Is a
downright, malicious lie and lie
made out of whole CLOTH"
Chairman O'Neil said that he
thought the statement was uncalled
! for.
Mr.. Cooke insisted that he was
doing what the committee had in
vted him to do.
The question of the hour to which
the committee should adjourn CON-
Ing up, Mr.. Bailey said:
mr. Chairman, have received
ltelegrams from United States SEN
ators in the past three days ipsist-
ing upon my return to Washington.
| understand the Dominican treaty
| is coming up when every vote is
needed.

worries upon the committee, but

day to day while the investigation
is permitted to drag along.
IL do not wish to appear dis
courteous. but unless more haste
Is made, | shall take my hat and
leave. Four witnesses only have
been heard since Wednesday and the
committee is making no haste, so far
as Is apparent.
Mr.. Cooke served notice on Sena-
tor Bailey and his attorneys to pro-
duce the "Flato" letter which hal
been previously referred to by SEN
ator Bailey as an attempt to black.
mail him. This demand was made.
according to the statement of a
member of the committee, so that
secondary evidence might be intro
duced to prove the contents OF the
letter in the event 1t was not pro-
duccd.
Senator Bailey stated that he had
made an unsuccessful search for the
letter.

BY hearing the clock strike six and
without further ado packed myself
down to office, only to find was three
