In a driving rainstorm pickets,

Thirty.five thousand men are

CON STITUTI0N
VIOLATED, HE
DECLARES
Cites 4th Amendment
as Guarantee to
u. S. Citizens
International News Service

In a vigorous 42-page argument,
in District of Columbia Supreme
Court, Frank ]. Hogan, today at
tackled as unconstitutional the
sweeping powers exercised by the
Senate special loby committee.
Acting for the Chicago law firm
headed by Silas H. Strawn, Hogan
contended not only that the COM
mittee had no right to subpoena
from telegraph companies all
wires sent and received by the law
firm, but that the Investigators
were operating under resolution
that had no constitutional basis.
Final Plea Of Hogan
Justice Alfred Wheat conducted
the hearing on the Strawn firms
plea for an junction preventing
the telegraph companies from CIV
ing up to the committee al
Strawn firm kilograms sent and
received during 10 months Of 1885.
Campton Harris, a Birmingham
attorney, formerly law partner
of the Senate committee chair
man, Senator Black CD Of Ala
bama, represented the investi-
gators.
Hogan concluded his argument
against the committee powers
with these words:
"If your honor please, in the
last analysis. the questions pre-
.sented by this case are, at once,
extremely simple and vitally i'm
pOrtant. They are:
cts ours any longer q free
country?
care the most sacred guaran-
tees Of the rights of the people,
written in the Constitution, any
longer effective?
"If those guarantees still exist,
are the courts of the United
States impotent to enforce
them?"
Fourth Amendment
At the outset Of his long argu.
ment, Hogan specifically took up
the subpoena for the telegraph
files, pointing out that these con-
tanned messages between husband
and wife, client and attorney, and
friends. He cited numerous court
decisions where various judges
have explicitly refused grand juries
the privilege of summoning private
telegraph files, and argued that
Congress has no more right than
grand jury to issue such sub
poenaS.
This preliminary argument
Hogan based on the Fourth
Amendment to the Constitution,
providing that "the right of the
people to be secure in their per-
sons, houses, papers and effects
from unreasonable searches and
seizures shall not be violated"
At the conclusion of this cita-
ton. Hogan argued:
"There are no exceptions to
the guarantee Of that right.
The Constitution does not pro-
vide that that right shall not be
violated except by a committee
Of the Senate Of the United
States or except by the Senate"

FEAR OF WRECK
SPEEDS TAX
PROGRAM
Delay Seen Likely to
Aid Foes Seeking
Modification
By WILLIAM S. NEAL
international News Service

Fearful that President Roose-
velt'S tax ogram may be
wrecked by notifications, con-
gressional leaders opened a drive
today for favorable action all
along the line.
Only one exception was made.
House lie a derS indicated they
would, If necessary, yield to ex-
emptions from the undistributed
corporation earnings tax bill so
as to assure corporations " q
reserve against rainy days.
The program, as demanded by
leaders, includes revolutionizing
the entire present system Of cor
poration taxation, "windfall"
tax designed to recapture lost
AAA processing taxes and mod
crate processing taxes to aid in
paying for the new farm pro
gram.
Fear Long Session
Administration SpokeS n
feared that notifications and
changes may result in wideing
the tax fight so that Congress
may be plunged into an all.
summer session.
Strong opposition has been
voiced in the House ways and
Means Committee to the pro-
poSal of the Farm Administra-
ton to levy 100000 of pro-
ceSSing taxes each year for two
years on 33 commodities. Seek
ing substitute for processing
taxes, individual members have
proposed a manufacturers sales
tax, higher income taxes and
selected sales taxes.
Fight With Treasury
A possible result. it was in
dicated by one Administration
spokesman would be to reduce
the total of processing taxes and
perhaps levy taxes on fewer
commodities.
Democratic members Of the
Ways and Means Committee were
engaged in a behind-the-scenes
fight with Treasury Spokesmen
over proposals to make exemp-
tions in the Presidents tax
scheme.
Under the Roosevelt proposal,
all existing corporation taxes,
totalling almost billion dollars,
would be repealed. The new tax
on undistributed earnings would
be substituted, with the idea of
driving money into the pockets of
individuals, from which it could
be taken through income taxes.
Large exemptions, including
banks, trust companies and inSur
ance companies. may. leaders said
so reduce the yield from the Presi
dents scheme that other taxes
would have to be found. There
also was the possibility that once
a modification is made, Congress
will add others. and in the enc
the whole Roosevelt program viii
be wrecked.

PARK SPRINGS a AGAIN IN USE

ENID; @kia.,, Sept. 3D. Historic government springs park here again has come to the rescue of cattlemen in this district. f
 In the early Cherokee strip days, the park springs served as a watA' hole for herds of cattle driven across the strip from Texas to northern Kansas.
 Recently officials have permitted drought-stricken formers and cat, tlemen to haul water from the east end of the park where the spring waters of the lake empty into Boggy creek. s
 IS. B. Reeves, street and park com missioner. said the practice would be continued as long as the springs delivered enough water to keep the lake full. Ri
