Some Pointers

committee on rules today resumed its
hearings on the Lindbergh resolution
for q special inquiry into the money
trust" with Samuel Untermeyer Of
New York az q witness. Mr.. Inter
meyer said he did not appear as a
sponsor or champion Of the Lindbergh
resolution. but he was satisfied con.
gress could not legislate intelligently
with respect to the trusts or to the
monetary system until a question con-
cerning the money power was thor.
oughly understood. For that reason,
he said, he favored the proposed in
vestigation. provided 1t was conduct.
ed in a conservative. systematic. palms.
taking non-partisan spirit with the
sole object Of exposing the weakness
and. abuses Of the system and as q
basis for constructive legislation.
Mr. Untermeyer stated there was no
such thing a. money trust" in
the sense that the word trust" Is ap.
piled to illegal combinations. He be.
lieved. however, the proposed inves-
tigatton would establish that the pres
ent financial condition was due to a

corporations Of New York city.

Little could be learned yesterday
about the alleged conference between
Finn and Commissioner O'Neil. The

Finn was endeavoring to convince the
commissioner that he should declare

bad eggs; but we are told by the evil
