OHIO WANTS LIGHT
SHED ON ASSEMBLY
Both Houses Favor Repeal of Law
Which Gives Immunity to
Members.

Columbus. Ohio, May 1o-Aroused
by what they termed an effort to con-
duct a whitewashtng investigation by
a senate committee, members of the
house yesterday in 10 minutes passed
a bill by which immunity Is taken from
members of the assembly who testify
before a legislative probing commit
tee. A short time before, the senate
had gone counter to the wishes of Gov
ernor Harmon in providing for the ap-
pointment OF a committee of 10 OF its
members to make inquiry into graft
charges. Governor Harmon had advis-
ed against the action because of the
immunity from prosecution which, un-
der present laws, is extended to wit
nesses in such inquiries, but the senate
not only provided for such a commit
tee, but also for its personnel, thus go
ing over the head of Lieutenant Gov
ernor Nichols, who as presiding officer
of the senate usually makes appoint
ments.
The house passed the bin in quick
order and sent it to the senate, where
it was made a special order. The
grand jury is still In session.
