ALLEN AFTER: CHAPMAN Wants Contnmacious —V-'V itness to Purge Himself of Contempt. MUST REPLY'TO QUESTIONS. Senator Hoar “fronts the Matter Probe-J1 'to the Bottom Independently of “Ihat the President May Do —- Mr. Gallinger’s Objection. Washington, May 13.—The senate sugar investigation and the conviction of Elverton R. (Chapman for refusing to testify was recalled when Mr. Allen (Pop., Neb.), a member of the investi- gating committee, offered a resolution . in the senate today requiring Chapman to appear at the bar of the senate and purge himself of contumacy as a pre— liminary to executive clemency. The resolution has a lengthy preamL ble, reciting chapter 7 of the revised statutes, sections 101 to 104 inclusive, providing for the examination of wit- nesses before congressional committees and the punishments in case of refusal to answer. It further gives the reso- lution of the senate of May 17,1894, providing for a committee of five sena- tors to investigate charges of alleged bribery and irregularity in connection with the sugar schedule of the tariff bill and Chapman’s refusal to answer questions asked. . It then recites Chapman’s trial, con- viction and sentence for his contumacy and continuing, says: “Whereas, said Chapman is now an applicant, as it is said, for executive clemency and for relief from said sen- tence; therefore be it “Resolved, That it is the sense of the senate of the United States that as a condition precedent to receiving exec— utive clemency in the remission of the penalty imposed the said Elverton R. Chapman should be required to appear before the bar of the senate and purge ' himself of the said contempt of which he is and was guilty by answering the questions which he contumaciously re- fused and declined‘to answer during said investigation and make such dis- closures as the senate committee then requested him to make or that may now be required of him by the senate." ’A iscussion Started. Close att tion was given to the reading of the resolution, and as it closed Mr.‘Gallinger of New Hamp- shire remarked. “Let it go over." - “DO I understand the senator to ob- ject to the consideration of the resolu- tion?” asked Mr. Allen. Mr. Gallinger answered that the res- olution was very long. Senators had been summoned to a committee room to testify. He had been summoned and had testified that he never owned a copper’s worth of sugar stock. The resolution should be looked into before this line of inquiry was resumed. » Mr. Allen said the resolution did not contemplate a reopening of the investi- gation. It was confined to a require- ment that Chapman purge himself as a prerequisite to pardon Mr. Gallinger said he had misappre— hended the scope of the resolution, still it would do no harm to let it go over for 24 hours. “I hope the senator will consent to let the resolution go to the committee on privileges and elections,” began Mr. Hoar (Rep., Mass). “Certainly not; certainly not,” said Mr. Allen emphatically. Mr. Hoar with some asperity claimed the floor, and said that Mr. Allen could not say what he (Hoar) hoped: would be done. He would go as far as any one, Mr. Hoar said, to see that this in- vestigation and another one as to the sale of bonds were pressed to the ut- most “And I hope the investigations will touch bottom,” added Mr. Hoar. “I have no sympathy with anybody who would whistle either of those inquiries "down the wind.” Mr. Hoar spoke of the need of sus- taining the power and authority of the senate. He felt that the opinion in- the Hallett Kilbourne case had been con- strued far beyond the purpose of the jurist giving it. Senators held that the senate should exercise its powers with- out reference to the possible course of the president. This man Chapman had been tried and sentenced, said Mr. Hoar, and if the facts were as repre- sented he ought to be punished. vBut it was not for the senate to say that he ought not to be pardoned or to surren- ‘der its authority over 'him. “I think we ought to summon him here and compel him to answer,” said Mr. Hear, "and if he does not answer them to punish him whether the presi— dent pardons him or not.” This resolution practically gave away the power of the senate, the senator maintained. He would, he said, when the resolution was considered, propose an amendment by which the authority of the senate would be retained. Mr. Allen replied briefly. He said he .éregarded Chapman as a victim rather than a criminal. When before the com- mittee Chapman was very quiet and gentlemanly. He simply declined to an- swer the questions, acting on legal ad- vice. In that, said the senator, Chap- man took the chances of war. Mr. A1- len said he believed Chapman was more of an agent than principal. After some further discussion the res- olution went over. _ Lee Says Rebels Will Win.
