power of the Hearst papers has not

exist"
"Hearst's sin is not so much that he
inconsiderately published documents
involving the name and honor OF guilt
less Senators, but that he failed
through his agents of publicity to
undo in part the wrong he had done, "
Senator Robinson added.
Senator Johnson, Republican, Cali
fornia, another member of the COM
mittee, followed.
Never Believed Charges.
"I never believed and never will
believe that there was the slightest
justification for the charges" he said.
There was not scintilla of evidence
to connect the Senators with these
charges in any way, shape or man
ner.
From every standpoint it has been
demonstrated there never was the
slightest justification for naming the
Senators mentioned in the documents.
Nor was there the slightest justifica-
ton for publishing the documents
with the names deleted.. We will go
to the end of these investigations and
we will find out just what those docu-
ments are-whether forged or spu-
rious."
Senator Bruce, Democrat, Mary.

such documents in the secret archives
of any government he would be de-
lighted if they were brought to the

Opening widespread secret inquiry
after three days of open hearings,
Senator Reed, Republican, Pennsyl.
vania, chairman of the special com.

With absolution Of the four Senators
named in the Hearst documents

out how the documents got into

To this end, careful check is being
made on the story Of Miguel Ayila.
American-born son of a Mexican
father and italian mother, who told
the committee he purchased all the
documents with money provided by
Hearst and saw most Of them ex.
tracted from files in the Mexican
