INGUIRES NOTHNG NEW TO CONGRESS Senate Page’s Memories Show That They Were Com- mon Early in the 80’s. BY ROBERT T. SMALL. Some one has figured that there are 48 congresslonal investigations under way, authorized or projected at the present time. But the idea that con- gressional investigations are a latter- day institution is all wrong. They have been going on ever since Con- gress began to function. Edmund Alton, one time a Senate page, writing his memoirs early in the 80s, under the title of “Among the Lawmakers,” says: “There are always congressional committees at work investigating something or other, and much money is annually consumed in the pursuit of information. Sometimes the com- mittees traverse the country during the vacations of Congress, Stopping at various places to take the testi- mony of witnesses; and during the sessions of Congress the sergeant at arms of both bodies, or their deputies, ur the continent after unwilling witnesses, and bring them to Wash- ington for examination before the committees. In one investigation Mr. Christle, whose dutles are practically these of deputy sergeant at arms of the Senate, was 14 days chasing a single witness over the United States— but he caught hmi! iiven Judicial Powers. “To enable them to conduct their investigations as thoroughly as pos- sible, these committees are em- powered to summon, swear, and ex- amine witnesses, and to require the production of books and papers, and to this extent they resemble judiclal bodies. To refuse to testify or pro- duce papers, therefc is to defy the authority and for such efusal—no matter on what ground it is based—a man summoned as a witness may be punished by a fine of $1,000 and imprisonment in a com- mon jail for 12 months.” _This dissertation on_the investiga- tion complex of the Congress might have been written today instead of more than 40 years ago. The Senate today is trying to put Harry F. Sin- cl among others, in a ‘“common jail,” because of his refusal to testi® or produce certain papers in the fa- mous Teapot Dome investigation. Of course the Government is aiso rylug to send Mr. Sinclair to jail for “con- spiracy,” but this latter proceeding is ased on an indictment growing out of an investigatjon rather than on the investigation itself. Commenting further upon congres- sional investigations, Mr. Alton, tne one-time page, says: When Congress hears of any of- misconduct or questionable transaction affecting our glory or our pockets, it at once institutes an in- quiry into the matter. Special Committees Named. “The powers of congressional in- quiry may be exercised by the Senate and the House, either jointly or in- 3.00 { dependently, and, in important mat- Total to date. $220.00 WOMEN LEAD IN FIGHT. Campai;;x Against Rum’s “Dark Corner” Reported. GREENVILLE, 8. C., December 27 (#).—Crusading wemen have done what revenue agents found impos- «ible in Greenville County's “Dark Corner,” where the distilling of corn was an established, albeit outlawed, | practice long before prohibition. For years, the “Dark Corner” re- garded the ‘‘revenooers' s mortal foes, and many a bloody battle was fought, but the production of corn whisky went on undiminished. In re- cent months, however, with women taking the leading part, citizens of the district have launched an attack against the moonshiners. Numerous stills have been destroyed and some arrests by parties that in cluded no officers of the law. Minis- ters have encouraged the movement.
