ments in response to Senate resolu
lions calling for papers and informa-
ton. said that such replies received
from the secretaries of the treasury
commerce and labor, war and navy de-
partmentS had been sent by direction
of the President" which he declared
was theoretically a denial Of the right
Of Congress to demand such informa-
ton without the intervention of the
President. Presenting a resolution di-
recting that all such communications
be returned to the heads of depart:
ments from whom they had been re-
ceived, Mr.. Bailey attempted to secure
its passage. This was opposed by Mr.
Aldrich and other senators, who OBJ
jected on the ground that the orderly
way to dispose of matter of Sucn
Importance was by sending it to a COM
mittee after debate it was allowed to
lie on the table until tomorrow.
The Senate passed q bill today pen
sioning at the rate of $12 a month VOL

played this year. Harvard will be
played the second game as usual, but
here also a departure from former
schedules has been made. 1t has been
customary for Bowdoin and Harvard
to play their annual game some time
in the middle of the week. Football
games oftener than once a week do not
tend to put a team into the pest Oh

find both teams in good shape. Fol-
