WRIGHT INVESTIGATORS
FAIL TO HOLD SESSION
Chairman Mccoy Does Not Know
When Hearings Will
Be Resumed.

No meeting was held today by the Nc
Coy subcommittee investigating the
charges against Justice Wright in behalf
of the judiciary committee Of the House
Of Representatives. Adjournment yester-
day afternoon was subject to the call OF
the chairman, and Mr.. Mccoy said today
that he did not know just when the hear
ing will be resumed,
Justice Gould's Testimony.
Justice Gould was the principal witness
at the hearing yesterday afternoon. He
had previously testified as to a con.
versation he had had with Justice
Wright. in which the question had been
asked of him by Justice Wright: Was hi
against Wade H. Cooper. indicted for Libel
against Justice Wright?
Justice Gould yesterday afternoon de-
clared that any idea that may have beer
formed from his previous testimony to the
effect that Justice Wright was urging him
to try the case. or requesting him to dc
So was absolutely wrong. He said Jus.
tice Wright had merely asked him the
question as to whether he was willing tc
do so. and that the question carried with II
to him no Implication that Justice Wright
wanted him to do so. He said Justice
Wright was merely ascertaining his at
| titude.
He said he had decided he did not want
to try the case, not because he could not
give it a fair trial, but because it is
always necessary that the public shall
understand that a trial has been impartial
He thought that because of his connec-
ton with Justice Wright on the bench
and the knowledge of that connection In
the public mind. he had better not Try
the case
Other witnesses yesterday afternoon
were A. G. Berman. Guy johnson. Whar-
TON e. Lester and D. W. O'Donoghue.

ACTIVE BEE CONVENTION
ENLIvENS HOTEL SECTION

Washington's hotel district entertained
bee convention today. The affair was
fmpromptu. but in spite OF that fact the
gayest corner in Washington was made
more gay probably than It has ever been
before.
When the bees decided to have a touch
of the high life they picked out the corner
of 18th and streets and landed on the
nearest thing to a tree which they could
find. 1t is one of those half-grown. tired
looking bits of shubbery that a fond and
beloved government confidently believes
will some day give shade.
There must have been couple Of hun
dred of the bees, and they made more
fuss than an English militant when the
king Is around.
Young men Of fashion who have been
wearing out the sidewalks at the corner
hustled for the first time in their lives
when the bees took possession. They
had on the high speed when they turned
the corner of e street.
Not Enough Seats.
There was something wrong with that
tree. Either there were not enough
seats or the committee on arrangements
had blocked the aisles. Anyhow. a bee
would lose his grip or get disconnected
and he would loosen up and fly around
In circles buzzing like sawmill
Two sweet young things were coming
along 18th street when the meeting was
at its height
"Oh, look at one Of those cunning lit
tie bugs" exclaimed one.
The other one looked. One Of the cum
ming little bugs landed on her. You can
see for yourself that those new style
dresses afford absolutely no protection
against bee stingS.
Everything went along well until a
flock OF automobiles came along. There
il no use trying to run a buxxing sound
in competition with a siren that sounds
like a combination Of Gabriel's trumpet
and a foghorn.
So tho queen bee gave the word and
the swarm hew away and r street be-
came normal once more.
