General Bonaparte not to reply in the
senate's resolution Of inquiry concern
Ing the merger OF the Tennessee Coal

which, he said, had been traced to the
chief magistrate Of the country. "who
is not only solemnly obligated to obey
the law himself but to see that others
do So"
Mr.. Culberson introduced a resolu-
ton instructing the committee on the
Judiciary to report to the senate at as
early day as practicable whether in
the opinion Of that committee the
president was authorized to permit
the absorption of the Tennessee Coal

ties to prove that congress is en-
powered to place restrictions upon

direct their acts in certain ways. He
