WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.—Afier six hours’ debate, which Included a night session, the house last night voted to permit its mem- bers of joint committe on printing to obey a summons of the supreme court of the District of Columbia. This action was ex- actly the reverse of that of the senate dur- ing the afternoon, and in consequence Rep: Duncan Fletcher not to respond tomorrow to the order issued by Justice Wright of the supreme court of the Distriet of Co- lumbla directing them to appear oefors him The proceeding grew' out of & sult lnsti- tuted by the Valley Paper compaay of Holyoke, Mass., a8 the result of the com- mittee’s award of a contract for furnishing paper for the government printing office. The refusal of the senate was basad on the plea of the constitutional prerogatives of members of congress. The senate took the position that as it was a co-ordinate branch of the zovern ment the court had no right to intorfere with its business affairs. Incidentally, the question was ralsed as to whether Justive ‘Wright was (n contempt of the senate or the senate In contempt of Justice Wright.

Mr. Carter contended that the matter was one over which the Irrigation com- mittee had complete jurisdiction and that it would lead to confusion in dividing the work. He said his committee was In pos- sesslon of all the information demanded and that he could furnish to Mr. Heyburn within fifteen minutes all the information requested by the resolution, “I don't want such information as the senator may select for me. 1 shall walt| on the report of the committee,” responded | Mr. Heyburn, sharply.

Sustaining the action of the court on the ground that the printing award was an administrative rather than a legislative act, Mr, Sutherland advised’ the commit- tee menibers to appear in court and plead their privilege. Senator Bacon declared that the exer- cise by the court of such power as it | claimed would result In the overthrow of the powers of the legislative department. The Nelson amendment was voted down, 14 to 45, the original committce re=oluton being adopted with.out divisicn, as was an- other resolution directing the secretary of the senate to communicate the views of the senate to the court. House Members Will Appear. In the house there was grdater division of opiniom as to whether In ti's particular case the court was authorizc. Lo summon its members. The judiclary committee brought in two reports. The majority re- port recommended a compliance with the summons of the court on the ground that the committeo was not summoned as mem- bers of congress, but while acting under the authority of a statute enacted by con- gress. The majority therefore recommended that Mossrs. Cooper of Pennsylvania, Stur- gess of West Virginia and Finley of South Carolina be Instructed to appear in court. | The minority report, in which Chalrman Parker Joined, Clayton of Alabama and Mr, Henry of Texas, took the opposite view, clalming that the joint committee on printing was acting in a legislative ca- pacity. They recommended either that the committee be instructed not to respond to the summons or that the resolutions rec- | ommended by the majority be amended s to instruet the members of the printin committee “If necessary, to prosecute an | appeal or writ of error from any judgment | therein.” In addition to joining In the minority re- port, representative Clayton of Alabama, offereG a resolution declaring that the dis- trict supreme couft had unlawfully, in- vaded the constitutional privileges of the house. That it was without jurisdiction to bale Into court, members of the house and fastructing sueh members to ignore the summons of the gourt. Debate is Extended. An'extended debate of these reports fol- | lowed ‘their presentation to the house, and at 6:10 o'clock & recess was taken antil 8 o'clock, In order that final action might | be had before adjournment, The house late tonight adopted the ma- | Jority report of the judiclary committec Tecommendifg that the house membders of | the joint committee on printing obey the summons of the district supreme court to appear béfore it in mandamus proceedings tomorrow.

Meapwhile president will speak in New York Saturday evening, on the sub- ject, it is said, of party pledges and how they sho be kept, and he is attempting no concealment or modification of his in- tention to make the decision of the su- preme court the gu.de of the governmeni's further aotion In regard to corporations charged with violations of the Sherman anti-trust law. He makes it plain to all induirers that he has in no wise changed his view of what in his message to con- gress he descrived as his duty and his purpose to investigate the-conduct of all trusts and will nst be mwerved therefram by rumors or flurries or other manifesta- ticns in Wall strcet.
