NO NEED FOR CONJECTURE
When an investigating committee comes from Con
gress to look over Alaska, it is always a common sub
ject of remark that a vast amount of money is thus
spent, all with no result. Some go so far as to mention
$100,000 as the amount wasted.
The Gateway is able here to publish the full text
of the Senate Resolution whereby the present committee
was formed. This is an official copy, and there is no Ion- i
ger need for conjecture or exaggeration:
‘•RESOLUTION: Resolved. That a special committee of
three Senators, to be appointed by the President of the Senate,
is authorized and directed to investigate the operations, eco- j
nomic situation, and prospects of the Alaska Railroad, and to
report to Congress as soon as practicable the results of such
investigation, together with its recommendations for legislation
in connection herewith.
( '‘For the purpose of this resolution such committee or any
duly authorized subcommittee thereof is authorized to hold
hearings, to sit and act at such times and places (in the Con
tinental United States and Alaska) during the sessions and
recesses of the Senate until its report is submitted, to employ
such experts and clerical, stenographic, and other assistants,
to require by subpoena or otherwise the attendance of such
witnesses and the production of such books, papers and docu
ments, to administer such oaths, and to take testimony and
make such expenditures as it deems advisable. The cost of
stenographic services to report such hearings shall not be in
excess of 25c per hundred words.
“The expenses of the committee, which shall not exceed
S5.000. shall be paid from the contingent fund of the Senate
upon vouchers approved by the chairman.”

SEATTLE, Aug., 20, (A3)—Another
trying day of cross-examination j
is in store for Hubbard when j
attorneys for the defense con- i
fronted the witness with excerpts !
of yesterday's testimony which he
had given at former liquor trials,
in an effort to discredit his testi
mony in the present case.
They forced him to admit that j
some of his previous testimony
had been “slightly colored and
partly false.”
Hubbard countered the state
ment saying he was acting under
the direction of Whitney in giving
evidence against the accused, form
er United States Attorney Revelle I
knowing and approving of the |
false testimony.
He said that Anthony Savage,
then assistant but now prosecu
tor, was present but wras unaware
that the testimony was false.
Hubbard was searched by court
officials to see if he was , armed
but no gun was found.
Defense Attorney Hilen asked j
him if booi^eggers were not still j
after him because of the testi- |
mony he had given.
