Employment Of Assistance.

Employment of assistance, legal or
otherwise" is specifically authorized.
This provision is for the purpose of
enabling the committee to procure the
services of able attorneys to take
charge of the probing, so far as the
directing of questions is concerned. 1t
is the intention of President Taft to
have the committee name some rom
petent attorney to conduct the case,
and it is possible that both of the
principals to the controversy may be
represented by counsel.
1t was agreed by all persons who
have given close attention to the Bal
linger-Pinchot squabble that the in
vestigation should be open to the pub
lie and this is ordered by the resohl
ton. One of the big rooms in the
new senate office building will be used
for this purpose.

ed were committed in the months Of

tnat Fawcett's place in Paris was ia
ken by another man upon his deatf

frauds by the authorities.
All the New York dressmakers cap
