INSURGENTS OPEN
FIGHT IN SENATE
Rurkett Trains Guns on the
Present Arrangement
of Committees.
Continued from First Page

it was important that the committees
be organized so as TO insure the most
effective work on the part of the Sen
ate. He had introduced the resolution
so as to distribute the work more eQuit-
ably than was possible under the pres
ent plan.
He called attention 10 the fact that
when Senator Fulton Of Oregon lately
called for report on his bill from the
Interstate Commerce Committee, the
reply Of the chairman had been that
the members of the committee were
too busy to take action upon It.
COngested Legislation.
Il similar excuse had been offered on
a recent motion TO discharge the Jul
dietary Committee from consideration Of
a certain measure.
This shows" said Senator Pukett.
That the legislation is consesJed not
Caly in the committees, but in the hands
of individuals. We ought to see if some
thing cannot be done to relieve this
condition am not complaining OF
any Senator. The system is one that
has grown up through a long period
of years and ] am not blaming anyone
in particular because of it
Senator Burkett then took up the
committees in detail, which he said,
rightfully belonged to forty-siX States

protested that Ar Bennett should not
be permitted To again read into the
Record statements from the President
which the House had declined TO re-
ceive on previous occasion.
Before any formal action could be
taken. Bennett had concluded reading
that portion Of the message which the
House had found particularly Objec-
tionable, but did not attempt TO read
further
Mr.. Bennett had sead letter from
Special Assistant Attorney General
Rush, stationed at Omaha, Neb., III
which ii was stated that the Secret
Service men from the Treasury Depart
ment had been especially valuable in
The prosecution OF land fraud cases.
Mr.. Bennett charged IL conclusion that
the Committee on .ippI opriatiuus lacked
know ledge and tuoTOughucSs III its in
vcSJiSatI.n. He called attention 90 the
fact that Chairman IA wHcJ himself md
believed that there WAS a Secret Ser
vice man at work aga Eyt him in his dis
trict dUrin. the last c3'dp2iGn, AMI that
on investigation it dev-.optI the man
was not connected in snT way with the
service.
Tit for Tat.
Senator Hemenway of Indiana is busy
today in the preparation of d reply to
the attack the President lately made on
him for his report in conue, tion with
the Secret Service invest atiou. This
reply, It IS promised, will fairly sizzle.
The subcommittee, consisting Of Sen
atOrs Gallinger Hemeway and Clay,
which has charge of the Secret Serv-
ice inquiry is directed to reply in a. sup
Elemental report. This will probably
be presented to the Senate Monday by
Mr.. HcmeEWay.
