WANTED BY HOUSE
TWO CONGRESSMAN ARE SAID
TO BE MIXED UP IN
FORBES DEAL
President Is Called Upon to Reveal
Identity of Men Who Were
Mentioned BY Chicago
Grand Jury

Washington, - A movement gained
ground in the house Thursday to es-
tablish the identity of the two repre-
sentatives charged in the report of a
Chicago grand jury with being guilty
of bribery.
The situation was discussed at a
conference attended by Speaker Gill
EFT, Republican leader; Representa-
the rules committee, and Democratic
Leader Garrett, who has introduced a
resolution of inquiry.
| Afterward Mr.. Smell announced
that the rules committee, to which
the Garrett resolution was referred,
would meet later in the day. 1t was
indicated that the committee might
take some action to obtain informa-
ton from the department of justice.
Publication of reports that two
unnamed house members are charged
| with wrong doing has led to many
fast flying rumors as to their identity.
AS it now stands, in the view of many
Republicans, the entire membership
Of the house is under suspicion.
Until Thursday Mr. Smell had taken
the position that it would be mad
visable for the rules committee to
act on the Garrett resolution, as any
such move might embarrass the de-
partment of justice in it's announced
intention Of laying the case before a
grand jury.
Representative Crisp Oem.) of
Georgia introduced resolution
Thursday calling on President Coo
ndge to inform the house of the
two representatives involved.
The Crisp resolution pointed out
that great publicity has been given
throughout the United States to the
effect that two members of the house
have been guilty of corrupt practice |
and betrayal of the trust reposed in !
them.
Until these two members of con- !
gress are named" the resolution con-
tinued. "the whole body of the house
is under suspicion and a great in
justice is done the house Of repre-
sentatives collectively"
Under the resolution the president
would be requested to transmit the
names of the two representatives re-
ferred to in the Chicago grand jury
report, ''if not incompatible with the
public interest"
