Representatives Champ Clark and
John Sharp Williams questioned Eli
oft carefully about the charge, and
said that it reflected so seriously upon
the administration that it must be look
ed into carefully.
The chief purpose in Elliott's appear

was to have the United States annul
the sealing privilege on the Pfihloff

He stated to the committee that Off
