smacked the statesman on the jaw went
into executive session today to discuss
the law in the case.
Representative Davis of West Virginia,
chairman of the committee, advised the
members that an exhaustive report would
be necessary to meet the requirements OF
the resolution presented by Representa-

the House. Consequently the five COM
mitteemen spent much time last night

Studying the Kilbourn Case.
The Kilbourn case, to which Mr.. Glover
referred in his letter challenging the
right of the House to push the inquiry, is
spread out over 800 pages in the old Con-
xressional Records, and complete study
of that case will be necessary, and. as
the report must be presented to the
House Saturday, the five committee mem-
bers have a mans job on their hands to
get through with the studying of the
law.
Scope of House Purpose.
Much more is at stake than the Glover
Sims case. The House expects an onin-
ion on the general subject of just how
far the House can act in the case of as
saults upon it's members, and from con-
