D, c, COURT T0RU[E
ON PROBERS' RIGHT
TO EXAMINE WIRES
Telegraph Companies Or
dered to Answer Suits
of Two Firms.
AUTHORITY OF SENATE
GROUP is QUESTIONED
Inquiry of La Toilette Committee
Unconstitutional, Groves
Associates Insist.

The District Court will be called
on Monday to determine the right OF
the La Toilette Senate Committee to
examine private communications on
file with telegraph companies in its
investigation of civil liberties viola
tions in industrial disputes.
Justice Joseph w. Cox ordered the
Western Union and Postal Cos. to
appear in court and show cause why
they should not be enjoined from turn
ing over to the committee messages
of the Railway Audit and Inspection
Co., Inc, of Philadelphia, and the
Central Industrial Service Co., Of
Delaware.
The two firms filed suit against the
telegraph companies late yesterday,
alleging that the committee had
subpoenaed all their kilograms filed
since January !, 1885.
They charged that both the investi-
CATION and the subpoenas were invalid
as exceeding congressional authority
delegated by the Constitution.
Employees Join in Suits.
w. w. Groves, president Of both
firms, and IL officers and employees
joined in bringing the suits.
The La Toilette committee Is sched-
uled to resume next Thursday its in
quiry into the activities Of the firms.
Failure Of Groves and five other
officers Of Railway Audit to comply
with a prior committee subpoena for
production Of records has caused the
Senate group to cite them to United
States Attorney Leslie c. Garnett for
"contumacy." The case was presented
to the grand jury, the Government
asking contempt indictments, but the
jurors have not yet reported.
In their suits yesterday, the two
firms contended that the Senate COM
mittee was without authority to con-
duct "a general inquisition and in
vestigation and unlimited fishing eX-
pedition" into their private affairs.
They argued that the Senate resolu-
tion authorizing the inquiry was un-
constitutional as exceeding the right
OF Congress to require information
useful in framing legislation. Validity
of the subpoenas was attacked on
the grounds that they were too broad
in scope and violated the fourth,
fifth. ninth and tenth amendments.
A number Of the messages sought
were described as privileged and
communications between
the complainants and their attor-
neys"
Necessity for particular description
Of documents sought in subpoena
was upheld by Chief Justice Alfred
A. Wheat OF District Court last Win
ter, when he enjoined Western Union
from complying with a demand by
the Black Lobby Committee for mes
sages sent and received by the Chicago
law firm headed by Silas H. Strawn.
The Black group had subpoenaed
all kilograms filed during a 10-month
period. Chief Justice Wheat ruled
that this violated the constitutional
against unreasonable
search and seizure.
Hearst Suit Recalled.
In a somewhat similar suit William
Hearst asked for an in
junction against the Black Commit

F|REMEN'S TRUCK
Capitol Heights Volunteers
InCensed as Vehicle
Is lowed Away.

Volunteer firemen Of the Capitol
Heights, (Md) Fire Department today
were incensed at the impounding by
the Washington Police Department of
the Capitol Heights hose truck for
an alleged parking violation during
a shopping trip to Washington yes
terday afternoon
Joseph Thompson, member Of the
Capitol Heights department, had been
commissioned to take the truck into
Washington to purchase favors and
decorations for firemen's carnival at
Capitol Heights last night.
Thompson, police claimed, parked
the truck, prominently inscribed with
the name Capitol Heights Volunteer
Fire Department" near an excava-
tion on D street, near Eighth street.
so that it constituted an obstruction to
traffic.
Towing Car Ordered.
Policeman C. C. Harris Of the
Traffic Bureau ordered the towing
car and had the truck taken to the
police pound. While he was having
the truck removed, a bystander went
into the store and notified Thompson,
who came out, and. according to
Harris, asked: What do you think
you are doing?"
Harris said he invited him to come
to traffic headquarters and find out.
The truck was dragged off to the
pound and Thompson went to the
Traffic Bureau, where he telephoned
to w. H. Wells, chief of the Capitol
Heights department. Thompson was
asked to deposit SIS collateral, So to be
certified to the District to cover the
cost of hauling the truck to the pound,
and So for illegal parking.
Impounding Is Protested.
Wells, in the meantime, called In
spector B. A. Lamb, head of the Dis
trict Traffic Department.. and pro-
tested against the impounding of the
hose truck. 1t was, he said, actually
a piece of fire apparatus and was
the only hose truck owned by the
Capitol Heights department. 1t was
also, he said, the only truck avail
able at the time for the shopping
trip into Washington.
Inspector Lamb is said to have told
Wells that the 81 collateral for the
parking offense need not be posted,
but the fire department would have to
pay the towing charge. Thompson
paid this last night and the truck
was released.
