Washington, Jan. 13— Senator Bacon
today introduced a resolution declar-
ing that every public document in the
files of the government relating to any.
subject over which congress has con-
trol shall be subject to inspection by
members of the senate. Taking the
floor to speak on his own resolution,
Mr. Bacon said that it was of especial
Importance because of the recent mes-
sage of the president in which he
stated that he had directed the attor-
ney general not to give information as
to what was being done in the brins=
ing of a suit against the United State.
Steel corporation for its absorption 4‘f

Complaining that the language of the
president in the message had not been
distinguished by its extreme courtesy*.
Mr. Bacon continued;
"This is the Hist time that the de-
nial of the rights of the senate has
ever been made in such unlimited and
emphatic language as that now em-
ployed by the president."
. Senator Hale expressed the opinion
that the president had not taken a
square ground upon the right of con-
gress to direct the transmission of doc-
uments by the heads of departments.
"I don't know,” said Mr. Hale, "tnar
that right has been questioned and I
hope it never will.”
Mr. Bacon said that the president
did not stop at questioning the sen-
ate’S reasons for its inquiries, but that
he had said that the heads of the ex-
ecutive departments were subject to
the constitution, to the laws passed by !
congress and to the direction of the
president of the United States, “and
to no other direction whatever.”
•That.” said Mr. Bacon, "is as broad
as human language can make K”
“Does the senator think from that
language that the president has com.
mitted himself to the proposition that
congress can not call upon the head 01

papers and the documents In a de-

Hains learned of his wife's counter
charges to his divorce suit, for three .
days they planned to kill Annis. Upon
the framework of what had happened
in their lives they hung the cloak of

real estate man was the frame .work.
"But there had to be a defense for

that Hains’ defense should be insanity

the congress.
Senator Fulton declared that while
the congress has the right to come
mand heads of the department, it has
no power to enforce its demands.
He said: "We should provide a way
to enforce our powor to command.".
Mr. Bacon did not agree, with the'
senator from Oregon that there was no ,
way to enforce this power. He. sug-
gested that the power of congress to
withhold salaries was one way to ac-
complish this end, but said because
the . power to enforce may be drastic
does not affect the power.
Senator Hale declared that he did
not believe It was practicable for the
senate to ransack the mind of an ex-
ecutive officer demanding from him
reasons for a particular action, but he
was firm in his conviction that con- .
gres had power to demand papers-and
information. The senate, he said, could

who added:
“I hope the president has not com-
mitted himself to that proposition."
“I understand that law," said Mr.
Bacon, “plainly implies that the pres-
ident recognizes but three authorities
by which direction may be exercised
over the head of an executive depart-
ment.’’
Senator Hopkins challenged Mr.
Bacon’s contention on the ground that
not congress, but the senate alone, re-
cently asked for the information re-
garding the action of the attorney
general and Mr. Lodge asked whether
congress, in judgment of the senator
from Georgia, had a right to demand
papers from the state department.
“As an absolute right,” Mr. Bacon
replied, “yes; but of course, congress
has the rigt to exercise its discretion
in such matters.”

Fort Worth. Jan 13.— Grover
Flushing, N. Y„ Jnn. 13,—Events
erwded fast today in the trial of
Thornton J. iains. When court ad-
journed tonight Juror Thomas Walsh,
Injured in a street caraccident last
night, was placed in the care of a phy-
siolan by JuhH”? Urano, that his in-
juries might not cause a mistrial of
the case. Counsel - for the defense
concluded their summing up this after-
noon and Prosecutor Darrin began his
address to the jury.
Mr. Darrin will conclude his speech
some time tomorrow and Justice
are to be lowered in their standing
and ranked as mere clerks and that
when the senate or the house directs
information to help in framing legis-
lation for the country the president
can say these are my head clerks and
I direct them to refuse this informa-
tion.’
“I should be very much gratified."
mid Mr. Bacon, "if the president
should say the construction the sena-
tor from Maine has placed upon the
president’s language is correct.”
Senator Teller asked that Mr.
Bacon’s resolution be allowed to lie
on the table so that it imight be dis-
cussed later. He referred to Mr. Hale's
statement that cabinet officers, are. not
.mere .clerks and , said that depends
upon who is at the head of the gov.

Nashville, Tenn., Jan. 13—The bill
to prohibit tho sale of intoxicating
liquor in Tennessee was passed by the
lower house of the general assembly
this evening at 6:15 o’clock. The vote
was 62 to 36. Fifty votes is a ma-
jority. Twenty-two republicans voted
for ana one against the measure. The
mensure passed is the one favorably
acted on yesterday by the senate and
now goes to Governor Patterson. He
is expected to veto it, but under the
constitution his veto only operates as
a suggestion, not as a stay and a bare
majority may pass a bill over the
executive’s unfavorable action. The
governor is allowed to hold a bill five
days. If at the expiration of this Hino
It has not been returned to the as-
sembly It becomes a law without his
signature. Statewlders maintain that
the governor's action is not material,
that his veto will not be sustained. The
bill provides that prohibition becomes
effective July 1, 1969.
The battle attending the passage of
the prohibition bill probably was the
fiercest ever known in the Tennessee
house of representatives. For almost
five house It was waged, the local op-
tion or administratfon forces contesting
. every inch of the ground. Amendment
after amendment was presented and
' promptly voted down by about the
f same majority as that given the bill
i on final passage. A great outpouring
| of oratory came from both aides.
Throughout the discussison the gal-
! lorls were packed and several times
the sp«ak« r.at the request of local op-
i tlonists asked the sergeant-at-arms to
i exclude visitors from the floor of the
। house.
When the final vote Wos announced
! cheers from the galleries were deafen-
ing. the demonstration on the flor and
in the' galleries, lasting several min-
ute”. Tonight the statewlders were
ances, but confined to marshaling the
facts from the evidence. Only once . 2
did the prosecutor rise to an oratorical ,te
climax and that was in talking of tho
killing of William Fl Annis, he said: /
