Wants TO START INQUIRY
REPRESENTATIVE FITZGERALD
INTRODUCES RESOLUTION.
President Requested to Say Why
Custom House Frauds Should
Not Be Investigated.

Representative Fitzgerald of New Yorl
introduced a resolution in the House to-
day designed to disclose just what the
administration is doing in the matter OF
the customs fraud uncovered in New York
city some months ago. The resolution
provides that the President shall be re-
quested ito inform the House what facts.
IL any, exist, which make inexpedient a
thorough examination at this time by the
House of Representatives of the frauds
in the customs service mentioned by
the President in his annual message to
Congress at this session."
In the message referred to President
Taft expressed the hope that neither the
House nor the Senate embark upon an in
quiry into the sugar frauds or other
frauds that had been laid bare at the port
Of New York. He said that an investiga-
ton such as was proposed In various res
olutions would prove embarrassing TO the
administration officially and otherwise. :
1T Is time We were informed about
these custom frauds" said Mr.. FitZ-
gerald to Star reporter today. in COM
menting on his resolution. An inve.sti-
in the New York custom
service. We were told early in the SEES
sion that an investigation was under
way, and in due course prosecutions
would follow. Only a few subordinate.5
were prosecuted. and unless the Pres
ident can give good reasons why il
should not be done l believe the House
should conduct an inquiry on its own
account into these matters"

Justice Gould, on an indictment chaFg-
ing him, Moses Haas and Frederick A.

PENDANTS conspired to secure advance in
formation respecting cotton reports from
Edwin 8. Holmes, jr.. who was associate
statistician Of the Department of Agri-
culture.
Through his attorney, Thomas S.
Fuller Of New York city, the defendant
Price filed sixteen pleas in abatement,
alleging. among other things, that. GER
tain members of the grand jury were dis
qualified to serve as jurors.
United States Attorney Baker objected
to the filing of the pleas. urging that they
were not filed seasonably. Mr.. Baker told
the court that while the defendant had
been indicted in 1908 he had resisted re-
moval to this jurisdiction. carrying the
case from the United States commissioner
through the courts of New York to the
Supreme Court of the United States.
which tribunal had ordered his removal
to this District for trial.
Justice Gould allowed the pleas to be
flied. remarking that any objections to
them could be raised in motion to
strike them from the record. Bail was
given by Mr.. Price in the sum of 5000.

SENATORS NOT IN CONTEMPT.
Contend They Have Only Defaulted
in Failure to Answer.

Members of the Senate committee on
the judiciary, which committee advised
the action of tho Senate in ordering its
members of the joint committee on print
ing to ignore the order of the District
Court, say that these senator's are not in
contempt, but only In default. The gen.
eral impression was that the court would
continue with the case instituted by the
Valieq Paper Company, and accept the
answer of the House members of the
joint committee.
The Senate members feel certain that
the paper company's protest will be re-
jected on it's merits, and that the aues-
ton of jurisdiction will not. therefore,
be prosecuted to adjudication by the SUI
preme Court of the United States. Sena-
tor Smoot, chairman of the Senate COM
mittee on printing, stated that he would
make no move whatever. as the whole
question was for the Senate.
