These subpoenas were served on Thursday |and Friday of last week requesting | this information by 2 o'clock on Mon day. Why the unusual haste” ! | Mr. Whiteford challenged the au | thority of the Senate committes 10 {employ auditors from the office of the controller general to go over the| 'books of the coal merchants. “It is undoubtedly true.” he said, “that em ployes in the controller general’s of fice have no authority to use the Gov- | |ernment’s time for work of this sort, | and the committee in employing him | |is violating the statute passed in 1921 designating the kind of investigations |and reports which should be made by the controller general.”” H. A. A |Smith of the controller general’s of |fice was designated 1o go over the | books. His testimony, according 1o {Mr. Whiteford, furnished no basis from which he could say that there was any profiteering in coal in the | District of Columbia. s a matter of fact, some of them showed u loss and others showed a profit so small in comparison with the sales as to be almost negligible,” Mr. Whiteford lared. Holds Business Hampered. The Washington coal merchants, Mr. Whiteford sald, made a ‘‘sincere effort” to comply with the several re- quests for statements of the Senate committee and spent more than a thousand dollars of their own money to prepare these statements “in addi tion to the Interference with their business caused by the assistance that r employes were given to the audi- “It is to be regretted,” he added, “that the Senate committee either did not understand what it wanted when it agreed that it desired a profit-and loss statment of these dealers, or hav- ing agreed'to it, some members there- of were disappointed when these state- ments conclusively proved the falsity of reckless charges heretofore made with reference to the coal merchants of Washington.” | “To produce the books und records called for in the subpvena and leave them with the committee for exami nation,” he continued, would prevent the firms subpoenaed from doing business, as the subpoena calls for all the books and records of the company and these they must have in order to continue In business. The subpoena further requires my clients to prepare statements, accounts and records and books that they do not have and never have kept. The committee has not the authority to impose such an ex- pense on the parties subpoenaed. The subpoena. alleges that this is neces- sary with a view to acertaining and reporting to the Senate what addi- tonal legislation, if any, may be proper or necessary, said inquiry being in pursuance of Senate resolu- tions Nos. 186 and 137. I find nothing in these resolutions with respect to additional legislation concerning the fuel situation in the District of Colum- bia. KEven if this were true, there is already ample testimony in the record of the hearing already taken before the committee to enable the | Senate to act with respect to the fuel | situation in the District of Columbia, | if, indeed, it has any jurisdiction or authority so to do. Deny Senate’s Power. ‘My clients further deny any power | or authority in the Senate or any of its committees to compel testimony or the production of documents when acting in 1ts legislative capacity. My | clients further assert that such a de- mand on the part of the committee is a deprivation of the constitutional rights against unreasonable search and seizure and the taking of their property without due process of law. | It is a forcible intrusion into their pri- vate affairs and papers without judi- cial process or in the course of judi- cial proceedings, which is contrary to the principles of a free government and is abhorrent to the instincts of every American.” ! Chairman Capper of the Senate Dis- trict committee said today the com- mittee has not decided in advance of | the meeting what its next move would be should the dealers fail to comply | with the subpoena.

According to Chairman Capper, the question of what the com- mittee ‘might do in a further effort to require the dealers to submit their books to examination is a question to be passed upon after the committee | developments this afternoon Committee Members Wait. Although members of the commit tee belleve there are further legal steps that it could take, they ave ad- | hering fo the position of waiting to see what response the dealers make to the subpoenas before determining what more should be done. At the time the subpoenas were is. | sued it was emphasized that the com mittee was not directing its nquiry at the merchants mentioned in the docu ments. It was explained that the com mittee selected a group of dealers from which to obtain information that would enable it to form general con clusions as to the cost of fuel through- | out the city during the strike of last Winter. The basis for the subpoenas, it is lay in the refusal of six of nine dealers to furnish information desired by Auditor Smith TREASURY CES GOUGING.

The subcommittee on parks of the ouse District committee today heard 8. Grant, 3rd, engineer of- ficer in charge of public buildings and public parks, on three bills pro- posing acquisition of three tracts of land for park and highway develop- ment. These tracts of land are the Patterson tract in the northeast, the Dean tract at Florida and Connecti- cut avenues and two lots on Penn- sylvania avenue which are being con- sidered in connection with the widen- Ing and straightening of B street as | part of the development of the Arlington Memorial Bridge project. Maj. Grant said that the purchase of these pleces of property is highly but not indispensible at the present time as there are other i sites for which the need is more ur- gent, In regard to the two lots on Penn- sylvania avenue, Maj. Grant explain- ed that if these are not acquired B street will have to be run at an angle. It is extremely desirable that they should be purchased to prevent unsightly commercial development and eventually they will have to be acquired to complete a proper setting for the Capitol and to carry out the Mall development, he estimate cost of is $1,000,000.

The cities where offices will be opened this week are: Houston, Galveston, Memphis, Louisville, Des Moines and Minneapolis.

Although it will heighten competition in certain articles and possibly cause a frac tional loss in some of our best foreign trade areas, it will increase the pur- chasing power of the European coun- tries, which take over 51 per cent of our total exports, and permit the pur- chase from us of badly needed ar- ticles.” Fish Sent to Rappahannock.
